to approve the resolution as stated below:
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING STATE MANDATED RESTRICTIONS
ON COUNTY SUPPLEMENTS
FOR EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina is responsible for the basic
education of North Carolina pupils, and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners are committed to the
constitutional guarantee of each pupil to an equal opportunity for an
education, and
'WHEREAS, the Orange County School Merger Study Task Force has
recommended this direction for Schools in Orange County to follow in
pursuit of this educational objective, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners have for years pursued a
voluntary policy which minimizes the difference in funding levels of the
two school systems in Orange County, and
WHEREAS, many citizens of Orange County voted to increase their local
tax burden to provide needed resources above State funding levels, and
WHEREAS, the additional resources are needed to keep pace with living
costs and changing local needs of students, and
WHEREAS, a Statewide mandated prohibition against county supplements
would severely restrict local autonomy and limit ability to respond to
unique local needs, and
WHEREAS, such a State mandate would create significant pressure for
immediate merger of local school systems in the same county without a
corresponding infusion of new resources to accommodate such mergers,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Orange County Board of Commissioners
oppose any State legislative initiative which would prohibit counties from
using local tax funds for supplements to educational personnel,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
the appropriate State and local officials.

F. ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA
7. REVALUATION OF REAL PROPERTY AS OF JANUARY 14 , 1987
Chair Marshall expressed the concern that the tax listing showed
an evaluation amount that may be mistaken as the final evaluation. She
inquired about the printed information on the card sent to the property
owner notifying them of the new evaluation amount and asked if the card
included information on the appeal process.
Tax Supervisor Kermit Lloyd informed the Board that all notices
of value will be sent out by the end of February except for new
construction that took place in 1986 and some of the land splits that
happened at the end of 1986. He noted that the cards are sent out in
batches to enable his department to handle the inquiries as they are
received. All letters are answered within three days. For those citizens
who have a problem with the valuation he explains the appeals procedure to
them. He explained that the notice of value is the official notice and
not the amount that is shown on the tax listing.
46'0 Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that in the future the appeal
procedure be printed on the card.
The Board members asked that they have an opportunity to review
the form for any future mailings. .
la. BID AWARD - AMBULANCE REPLACEMENT (see permanent agenda file for a
copy of the letter from Chief deFriess)
Mr. Ray deFriess, Chief of the South Orange Rescue Squad, introduced a
letter and spoke in favor of the County awarding the bid for the purchase
of a Type II ambulance to Southeastern Emergency Equipment. He indicated
the service record for the Frontline (the make of ambulance offered by
Southeastern in its bid) is superior and the vehicle is similar to those
that are presently in service making it easy to correct electrical
problems and easier for volunteers to use the ambulance. Southeastern
provides fast repair service and replacement parts.
The bids received are listed below:
NAME OF COMPANY NET BID DELIVERY TIME
Ashley Emer. Vehicles $29,545 45-60 Days
Frontline Emer. Vehicles $34,365 60 Days
Southeastern Emer. Equip. $30,865 60 Days
After extended discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit,
seconded by Commissioner Hartwell to award the bid to Southeastern for a
Frontline ambulance at $30,865. This award is based on the history of
Southeastern providing superior service, both in terms of speed and
quality and on the basis of compatibility of its Frontline vehicle to
other emergency vehicles in the .county's fleet which is deemed critical in
part because of the large number of volunteers using the County's ambu-
lance fleet.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
1. REVISIONS TO JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT - CHAPEL HILL
Marvin Collins made the presentation. He presented the revisions
to the Joint Planning Agreement with Chapel Hill for consideration of
approval. The Planning Board recommended approval. The effective date of
the agreement will be the date that the Chapel Hill Land Development
Ordinance is in place. The County will continue to operate under the
existing Joint Planning Agreement until that time.
Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner
Hartwell to approve the revised Joint Planning Agreement as recommended by
the Planning Board and to forward the agreement to Chapel Hill for their
approval and upon their approval be signed by both parties.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
2 . AIRPORT TASK FORCE CHARGE (See permanent agenda file in Clerk's
Office for corrected copy of this charge)
August 3, 1987 was set as the due date for the final report to be
presented to the Board.
John Hunter addressed the Board. He commended the Board for
moving forward with the Task Force. He emphasized that there is a
tremendous need for an airport in this area. He asked that all sides of
the issue be heard. He mentioned that there have been studies that show
the present location to be the best location and he hoped that these
studies would be reviewed. He asked about the composition and suggested
that at least one third of the members have a solid background in aviation
and understand the issues.
After a brief discussion and amendments made to the charge, it was
decided that the charge would be retyped as amended and distributed in an
effort to receive further comments on the charge and also to receive

j(Allected revising and updating 'as necessary, * identify those policies that
are currently in place and those that maybe of value in addressing the
issues raised during the Rural 'Buffer public hearing.
After further discussion and. comments it was decided that this is

development rights, and impact fees to purchase land in the Rural Buffer,

NORTH CAROLINA ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION
ORANGE COUNTY
WHEREAS the Efland-Cheeks Elementary School , one of the
schools in the Orange County School System, has
experienced and continues to experience serious
problems with its wastewater treatment facilities
in that those facilities have failed in the past
and now, although functioning, are not doing so
properly; and
WHEREAS the improperly functioning wastewater treatment
facilities are discharging incompletely treated
sewage into McGowan Creek, a stream that is part of
the Upper Eno watershed with a II-A nutrient
sensitive classification by the State; and
WHEREAS incompletely or poorly treated sewage is also
entering McGowan Creek and other streams that are
part of the Upper Eno watershed as the result of
malfunctioning or non-functioning septic tanks in
the Efland Estates Subdivision and other areas in
the watershed; and
WHEREAS the cause of the improperly functioning wastewater
systems is the pervasiveness of soil types in this
region of orange County which do not provide a
18 n
geologically suitable medium for subsurface
i
wastewater treatment systems; and
WHEREAS the Upper Eno watershed provides the raw water
supply for Corporation Lake, the source of raw
water for the Orange-Alamance water system and for
Lake Ben Johnson, the source of raw water for the
Hillsborough town water system which in turn is a
source of treated water for the Orange Water and
Sewer Authority, in times of drought; and
WHEREAS all of the above has created and continues to
create a health hazard that affects a substantial
number of the people of Orange County; and
WHEREAS on September 13 , 1984 the Board of Commissioners ,

welfare of the people of Orange County affected by
the conditions stated above, found that an
emergency existed which warranted the issuance by
