He then urged the Sheriff to follow the Countysprocedures and to contact the County Manager or Finance Director for further clarification if needed, and encouraged better communication between the two offices in the future. Lastly, he thanked the Sheriff and law enforcement for  the great job they are doing in policing the County.  Commissioner McIntyre agreed with Commissioner Burleson's comments stating this was a communication issue between the Sheriff and County Manager that should have been handled differently and encouraged both to continue with open lines ofcommunication.

He stated that as Sheriff, in addition to upholding all the laws of North Carolina and serving the people of Stanly County, he intends to provide office personnel with the best possible training and equipment necessary. He then noted that overall the office came in $66,000 under budget for the year and explained the process of how invoices and purchase orders are handled by office personnel. Sheriff Burris pledged to maintain open lines of communication with the County Manager to avoid similar  Page 6of8    issues in the future and to adhere to county policies and procedures more closely.
