The Beard of County Commissioners of orange County met in regular session in the
- Commissioners Room of the Courthouse in Hillsborough on Tuesday, November 20, 1973,
- - at 8:00 o'clock P, M.
Members Present: Chairman C, Norman Walker and Commissioners Henry S. Walker,
Flora Garrett, Richard E, Whitted and Melvin Whitfield.
Members Absent: None.
Mr. Eddie Mann, Chairman of the County Recreation Study Commission, reported on
the work of this committee. The Committee felt that in order for them to perform their
function properly they would have to retain the aerviaes of a professional consultant
in the field of recreation planning. As such they rev3.ew the work and accepted the
proposals from several consulting firms. They were recommending to the Board of
Commissioners that they be allowed to sacept a proposal from a study group composed of
Messieurs Sternlaff, Warren and Stein. Discussion ensued.
Upon motion of Cotmniasioner Henry 5. Walker, seconded by Commissioner Richard
E, Whitted, it was moved and adopted, that the study committee proceed with the study
to be conducted by Messieurs Sternloff, Warren and Stein.
Dr. Robert Senior, representing the Chapel Hill Drug Action Committee, made a
report to the Board of Commissioners concerning the activities of this committee
since Sts organization in 1969. This committee sinoe its inception has organized
Operation Switchboard at the request of the youth of the community. This is a crisis
oriented organization designed to react to sudden urgent problems. To fill the need
of the drug user who wants to cure himself the Genesis House Program started. Genesis
House now operates a 158 acre farm and has an investment of ~20~.,000 in its physical
plant. The corporation only owes $$!},000 on this property. The Drug.Action Committee
felt that along with their crisis program and their program to aura drug addicts there
was still another need to be filled. They, therefore, organized their Tree House
Program. This program provided housing and guidance for disturbed teenagers, many of
wham are run sways, but ell of whom have emotional problems of some sort. Dr.
-_ Senior explained that his committee would like to discuss their program more in detail
with this Board when the time of the Board permitted.
The County Administrator read the results of the bids on refuse collection
equipment. For results of bide see page 150.
The Board of Commissioners then heard from Andy Simms of Banco-Corporation and
Mr. Bob Buck of Roach-Russell, Snc. These gentlemen were in the sales force of their
companies. The Board made no decision en which equipment to use at this time.
Mr. Robert DeMaine, of the Triangle J Council of Governments, discussed the
National Flood Insurance Program with the Board. Tn easerice Dr. DeMaine stated that
if we wanted a detail discussion of the flood insurance program the Board should
contact Ralph M,gera of the Federal Department of Rousing and Urban Development and ask
him to disausa the program at ono of their meetings. Tf the Board wanted to qualify
Drange County for flood insurance coverage it could do so easily if it acted before
December 31, 1973. If we delayed beyond that date qualify3.ng would be considerably
more difficult.
The County Cfvil Preparedness Director was designated as the County's Coordinator
for the Governor's Energy Conservation papal.
The Board di acussed designating two members '-o the I-1}0 Advisory Committee. No
action was taken. The County Administrator was directed to place this item on the
Agenda for its December 3rd meeting.
The Board discusssd the proposal for a Food Supplement for the Elderly. Chairman
--- Norman V2alker polled the Board members asking each how he felt about this program.
Commissioner Richard E, Whitted stated he felt the County should be a part of
this program. In some areas of the County there is a aigriificant need for it.
-- Since a basic allocation had beer_ set up for the region if we failed to accept the
program the funds allocated fpr Orange County would be re-&lloaated to the other
counties.
Commissioner Henry S. Walker stated he had contacted several elderly persons who,
personally, opposed the program. He would, therefore, not support the program.
