They are the first Priority for 1'Y 78--79. T hope that the Commis-
sioners can find some way of financing this project for the following
reasons:
1. The bid ($21,193) which we have received from fir. Sam
Jones of D.O.T. expires November 19, 1977. He says
that D.O.T. must have the money by November 1. He has
estimated that, due to inflation alone, this will
increase at least 10% by June 1, 1978. The road is
deterioriating rapidly; therefore, we must conclude
that much more repair will be required next year.
This will, of course, also increase the cost.
2. The Bayberry-Azalea link is the only access to the
Morgan
antele s'Hills
wellsubdivision
as lr''arr��zgt n2Hillsiw�the25and
11 vac
residences and 16 vacant lots.
3. At least 75% of the owner's in Morgan Creek Rills
support this project. The residents of Farrington
Hills as well as the developer, Ed Gray, have indi-
cated that they will contribute substantially to the
cast of this project.
4. We anticipate that the County will be asked to
finance approximately $10,0oo of the cost. The rest
will be paid in cash by many Morgan Creek. Hills
residents as well as those in Farrington Hills.
Dr. Donald G. Willhoit -2- August 1.1, 1977
5. When the project Is completed, we will, request that
all of the roads in the two developments (Azalea
Drive, Azalea Court, Bayberry Drive, and Cray Bluff
Trail) become part of the Secondary Road System. It
is our understanding that this is the purpose of the
law----the property owners pay 100% of the cost with
County financing to pave roads which are not part of
the Secondary Road System so that these may become
part of the System. By the way, Mr. Gray is making
some minor repairs which D.Q.T. says are necessary
before the Farrington Hills roads are taken into
the System.
D.O.T. has questioned whether the unpaved portion of Bayberry
has ever been dedicated as a right of way. This was dedicated in
1967 on the final Plat, Section Four of Morgan Creek Dills Subdivision.
I hope very much that the Commissioners can find a way of
financing this project. Ed Gray and I will attend the Commissioners
meeting in case you have questions for us. 'Thank you for your consi-
deration in this matter.
Yours truly,
l�

AGENDA ATTACHMENT I
August 1 , 1977
Attention: Charman and Members of the Board of County Commissioners
We the people bf the Cheeks Community wish to bring to your attention
a Proposal for la Community park to be located on the Cousin's property.
We wish this p oposal to be funded through the Department of Housing and
Urban Cevelopm nt Community Development Black Grant Program.
We have talked with Mr. Norman Hester, the Administrator of the property,
and he has agr?ed to lease five (5) acres of land for the duration of
fifteen (15) years for this purpose. We also have done a spot check and
have gotten an estimate on the number of children a park in this area
will serve. G r target population in age group, 2-18, is estimated to
be 312 children.
The purpose for our request is to alleviate the horrifying conditions
of our young c1jildren, playing in dangerous places. A park will give our
children a safr environment in which to play.
The equipment we request are as follows:
swings Swimming Pool
Sand 'Boxes Picnic Tables
Sliding Boards Grills
See-Saws Merry-Go-Round
Monkey Bars Tennis Court
Basket Bail Court Skating Rink
We strongly feel that a Community Park will serve as a positive influence
for our young p ogle. As a community , we do not, and have not had the
resources to provide this type of outlet for our young people. As you
know, a Park wi l also prove beneficial for the adult population, and
we feel it will manifest itself in positive changes in the total community.
Respectfully.,
Cora Jones, President

significant applications the County will have, it is also the most complex
system to program and to make operational. The staff feels other application!

they become operational the Data Processing Department will have time availab

REPORT OF BID RESULTS
In early June we submitted specifications for an in-house computer
system that would function in an on-line environment and the interactive
mode to fif een vendors of computer hardware and software. The system
requested w111 enable the users (Register of Deeds, Board of Elections,
Finance or Tax Departments, etc.) to create their own data file (records)
and to alte this file as transactions occur. This activity is carried
out through the use of a typewriter like device attached to a cathode
ray tube. ransactions are posted as they occur and records are kept
current almolt to the moment. We received responses to this proposal
from Nationa Cash Register Company, Distributive Data Systems, Data
General Corp ration, IBM, Burroughs and Honeywell . I am submitting in

The us r programs proposed will be written to our specifications and
DDS will in truct our personnel in their operation. The programming contract
calls for p yment only upon acceptance of each system by the County_ Each
system will be designed to operate in an interactive mode so each user will
have access to his records through CRT or Hard Copy type terminals located in
their department. Funds for development of these systems ($19,040) are avail-
able in the current Data Processing Budget or the user's budget as service
bureau cost .
}HONEYWELL
We rer, rnmend Honeywell be eliminated because of its high cost and the
lack of any proposed application software (programs). The hardware proposed
seemed adequate to do the job but the high annual cost: of $67,585 (based on a
six year lease purc ase of $4,142/mth, maintenance of $1 ,217/mth and systems
software of $273/mth) priced them out of serious consideration. There are
only two of er Honeywell users in the area.
3 .
BURROUGHS
We recommend Burroughs be eliminated because of its high cost. They
proposed transferring all of the software from other units in Utah, Iowa,
Georgia and North Carolina. This approach would work but any software
transferred would have to be modified and some of the systems identified
by Burrough would take major modifications. The proposed hardware is
adequate bu the annual cost of $59,748 is too high. Burroughs has many
Local Gover meat installations nationwide with at least ten in North Carolina.
These installations have developed many applications that are available at
little or not cost. Most of these systems are batch systems and we are trying
to develop the on-line, interactive system_ The proposed hardware is very
oowerful an1d is at an entry level with plenty of exrransinn ranahilit.-iPq_

IBM
We recommend IBM be eliminated because the proposed hardware: is not
capable of performing the required workload in an on--line environment and
would have to be upgraded within the first year. The annual cost of$66,108
(based on a three year lease at $5,294/mth and systems software at $215/mth)
makes it one of the more expensive systems. All of the proposed software
for transfer was not operational on the proposed hardware.
DATA GENERAL
Data General ' s bid was not complete enough to evaluate. The proposed
hardware, an Eclipse, is rated as a mini , but it seemed to be a very powerful
system. The annual cost of $55,764 (based on five year lease/purchase, $1 ,090/ir
maintenance and systems software of $218/mth)seemed high for a mini . They propo
no application software.
NCR
We recommend the elimination of NCR for several reasons. 1) They propose(
hardware and software able to perform only four of the six applications which
we requested. 2) The hardware as proposed leaves very little expansion capabi

our current service bureau and improve our information flow within the con-
straints of �he existing budget. A move into new areas would require extensive
additional f nding. Our current service bureau is not in a position to offer
on-line inte I active systems.
2) JOINT- VE14TURE WITH ANOTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNIT
I contacted four units about the possibilities of purchasing or sharing
a portion of their computer resources. 'There are some resources available
through other units but they are not very usable in an on-line interactive
environment. In all cases we would have similiar costs for terminals located
in the County departments. None could provide programming, consulting, or
clerical services:
a) TRIANGLE UNIVERSITIES COMPUTATION CENTER
TUCC could provide this service and is set up to provide
this type operating environment for educational institutions.
MCC is a non-profit corporation whose primary purpose is to
seve North Carolina institutions of higher education; therefore
of er type users may have restricted use during peak academic
periods (March--May 15th and October-December 15th). This
possible use restriction and their high interactive prices
mak them an unattractive resource. TUCC`s prices for Inter-
active services (CPU $1 ,950/hr. , Port or Terminal Connect $3.24/hr. )
are very high to process production jobs or to maintain records

b) UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
UNC could provide computer time in a batch environment, not
the interactive mode. This would involve doing all our work in
Chapel Hill , both new development and production jobs. The system
at UNC is a large UNIVAC system and any systems developed and
operating on that hardware would be difficult to transfer in-
house in the future. if we used only one hour of CPU time per
day and TOMB of Disk storage, our monthly bill would be over
$0,500. (CPU-$150/hr, Disk $3.09fmthlpaDe) -
c) CITY OF DURHAM
The City of Durham just entered into an agreement with Durham
County at approximately $5,0001mth for seven years to provide this type
of service. Next year they may be in a position to determine if they
can offer this service to others.
d) ALAMANCC COUNTY
Alamance County and the City of Burlington have operated under
this type of agreement for over a year. This seems to be working very
well but the County feels the City is not paying its fair share, the
City pays only $6 00Jmth plus their in-house terminals. The prices
discussed ($2,000rmth plus usage charge) would put the cost of this
system in the same range as the proposed in-house system.
