Lena Moore and Dr. Charles Blake to the members of the Board.

The County Attorney advised that re was unable to locate any record of title to the Confederate Memorial Library.

Mr. Cheshire suggested that the Vestry of St. Matthews ~iisaopal Church arould be approached and asked if they would request the Diooeae of Idorth Carolina to execute a quitclaim deed and that ha felt the County of Orange should also request that the Town of Hillsborough execute a quitclaim deed in order that proper title to the Confederate Memorial Library may be vested in the County of Orange. ~'~ S.

G. klancock, owner of the proposed landfill nronerty, had stated that he would be willing to defer payment on one hizndred't}iousand ($100,000) for a pear and that Mr. Hancock was interested in retaining the timber rights on the property which the Town was proposing to purchase. A discussion ensued concerning a buffer zone and pulp wood rights. Commissioner Ira A. Ward asked if there had been any agreement reached as to who would take title to the landfill prop®rty. Mr. Peok stated that na agreement had been reached, but he was assuming the property would be deeded to the Town of Chapel F~11 and the County of Orange, but the Town of Cr~tpel Hill had the experience and would operate h¢_•1 ill area. He stated that the landfill operation wov].d be a separate ~nd separate accounts would be maintained by the Town of Chapel Ri11, Se stated that he felt that it should establish a three member Board which ±could serve as a rate board and a budgetary board and ~!'iat the salaries of all employees should come under t'_:e towns salary schedule, but that the cost of th.e land and the coat of the equipment should be shared jointly by the two municipalities and the County. Commissioner William C. Ray stated that he felt the County should participate on a "One ~ shot basis" and then. the Town of Chapel Fill should operate the landfill. Mr, Peck stated that he felt all items of cost should be shared jointly. Commissioner Ira A. Ward stated that he agreed in pert with the other ~ statements, but that he felt the County should be allowed some authority in i establishing the rate schedule and other physical con~rols. Commissioner Ira A. Ward inquired if Mr. Udry of the State Health Department had given the Towr_ of Chapel gill a date as to when to expect a reply from the r_ew ii investigation. Mr, Peck replied that he had been assured that the reply would be giv®n with n a few days, Commissioner William C. Ray stated he ', felt the figure of 175,000.00 was the amount that Orange County should j supply and that the money ahauld be applied for the joint ownership of the landfill property with the Tawna of Chapel H311 and Carrboro supplying the equipment. The County Administrator advised that all previous dissuasions had been held an a percentage unit cost and that ainoe the University would i .. not be partioipating in the landfill the Covaty+s portion had risen to 43.11. Mr. Peck stated that he felt the collected revenues from the landfill operation would replace worn out equipment and that he felt the County should look at the overall starting ooat which was $327,000.00. Further disauasian ensued. GUIDELINES FOR THE DESIGNATION OF LEAD RE(fiTONAL ORGAI7'2ZATION3 IN NORT$ CAROLINA As a follow-up to the designation of 17 uniform, multi-county regions, Governor Scott, on May 11, 1971, issued a statement outlining a new policy regarding the State-regions relationships. Dne to the multiplicity and diversity of multi-jurisdictional agenaiea within the regions, it was felt that a single organisation should be recognized in cash region: an organization that could establish regional goals and objectives, and also serve as the regional agent is dealing with state and Federal agencies. Therefore, it was dedided that a Lead Regional Organization (LRO) would be designated in eaoh of the regions. This, hopefully, will result in a new relationship between State and Looal governments, a "Partnership in Leadership." Stato government will take an active leadership role by creating a planning and operation framevrork that will insure a consistent linkage oP regional plans and programs with State plena and programs. The Lead Agency policy should provide local governments with the ability to make a stronger and more effective response to the prpblems and opportunities facing them. -~ 7- °~ 490 It should also provide a bettor system of coordinating and administering many previously overlapping Federal and State programs. State government will be provided with a meahaaiam for getting its people-oriented programs oloaer to those people whom they are supposed to benefit. The authority far designation oP the Lead Regional organizations resides with the North Carolina Department aP Administration. The guidelines ~ stipulated herein will assist in determining whether a ma~lti~ounty regional ', planning agenay has established sufficient area wide planning aspability to assume the Lead Agenay.function Por the designated planning region. They will also assist the regional agency in understanding the duties and responsibilities of the Lead Regional Organization. 1. A11 requests Por designation shall be directed to the Department of Administration. 2. There shall be only one Lead Regional Organization designated in cash of the 1~ arulti-county planning regions. a. Only legally constituted organizations, created by general purpose local governments, will ba designated. b. The designated regional organization must have its membership open to all general purpose local governments within the region. 3. Tha applicant organization moat have the support oP general purpose lots]. governments within its region, shown by the following: a. Resolutions by the governing board of each local governmental unit that is a member of the organization. b. Resolutions by the governing board of each local governmental unit not a member of the organization, or in the ease of those governments not passing a resolution, a nopy oP oorrespondence requesting such resolution and the reply, if any. ~.. The full membership of the applicant organization moat pass a resolution setting forth its understanding of the responsibilities of Lead Reggional Organizations, and its resolve to assume auoh reaponsibilitiea. s. The Lead Organization designation will be reviewed annually to determine whether the leadership role is being carried out effectively in each .. region. 6. Ekisting regional organizations meeting the membership guidelines, and with adequate funding and staffing,, will be given priority consideration in the designations. After designation as the Lead Regional Organization, an organization shall be expected to perform appropriate tasks inoident thereto. These include, but are not limited to, the following r 1. Provide necessary leadership for effective regional planning and program implementation. 2. Undertake the A-95 Clearinghouse Function for the region. a. Those regional organizations which have already received alearing- hou~e designations will receive priority for designation as the Lead Organisation. IP another organization is designated as the Lead Regional Organization, the organization designated ae the Regional Clearinghouse must relinquish this function in favor of the Lead Regional Organization. b. Those organizations which have not received clearinghouse designation must be prepared to serve this function if they are designated as Lead Organizations. 3. Develop an overall program design, a regional development plan con- - siatent with the Statewide Development Plan, and an annual work program to carry out those plans. !~. Develop a minimum budget and staff capability to Pv11Fi11 their responsibilities. - s. Undertake planning eativities for the entire region, regardless of membership make»up. ~~ 7 "^_ 491 6. Participate on the State Regions Advisory Committee In keeping with these responsibilities, the Lead Regional Organization will have the following prerogatives: 1. Any state funds which may be appropriated for general purpose regional planning will be administered through the designated Lead Regional Organization. 2. All multi-jurisdictional planning and programs within the region, unless exempted by state or federal law or policy, will be subject to policy direction Prom the designated Lead Regional-Organization. 3. Mush of the basic data gathering and analysis to undergrid eaa2s regional program will be provided by the State. Failure to perform the above tasks may result is the withdrawal or reassignment of the Lead Regional Organization designation. The above guidelines are recommended to the Searatary of the Department of Administration on this the 28th day of October, 1971, by his Advisory Committee on Regional Planning and Development.
