In addition to his volunteer work at the hospital, Mr. Phillips spent a 12-year period volunteering for Life Line, where he inter- viewed Life Line recipi- ents and installed Life Line systems through- out Surry County.

Hartgrove and his employ- ees relate to clients. Hartgrove said, “We touch people once, twice, three times a year ... The best way to do that is be courte- ous and get the job done.” During the meeting, Hartgrove and the commis- sioners recognized Brenda Davis. She has worked at the tax department since 1981 and recently retired. Davis designed some of the first maps in the county. She started as a mapper and eventually became land records manager. Hartgrove said Davis always worked with elegance and grace. “Our maps are Brenda’s babies,” he said before pre- senting her with a plaque. On Monday the commis- sioners also approved an up- dated permits and fees schedule for the Surry Coun- ty Fire Prevention Inspec- tions program. Fire Marshal Doug Jones said the fees have not changed, but the updated schedule included some new permits that are now included in the state’s fire code. Miller said he had looked at the schedule closely and noticed that there were a lot of fees that were only $10. “I’m not sure that’s a good enough fee,” said Miller, suggesting that the fees might be too low. Jones said the fire pre- vention inspection fees have not increased since 1993. At the direction of the board, Jones agreed to look at the county’s fees in comparison to those of neighboring counties to see if the fees should be adjusted. The commissioners went into a closed session at the end of the meeting which lasted more than two hours. When they came back out of closed session, the commis- sioners approved several re- quests. The board approved a kitchen study for the coun- ty jail to look at prices on preparing meals at the jail,
