l. - Executive Session 2. The County Attorney :informed the Board that a Mr. Moody, owner of a 3-mobile home par had called Rural Electrical Association (REA) for a servi 4-hook-up. REA had informed Mr. Moody that he would need an electrical in- 5 -spection by the County Inspector. Mr. Moody had then replied that if REP_ 6 -did not connect his power„ he would sue REA. 7. Mr. Gledhill- stated that the County would be involved in a law suit i 8-Mr. Moody did take legal action. He added that he is presently in the prc 9-cess of researching the Commissioners ' minutes to understand the County's 10 -position regarding the inspection of mobile homes , 11- Mr. Ross, General Manager of REA, stated that his company did not wan 12 -a law suit with Mr. Moody. He stated that all electrical service in the 13-County requires an inspection, and that Mr. Moody had been told by REA tha 14 -if a trailor is moved outside a perimeter an inspection is required. 15- Mr. Ross r ferred to correspondence from the County Manager and from 16-the Planning Di ector which stated that electrical inspections were requir 17-by 'the County` i � spect6r before electricity is turned on. Mr. Ross has sin 18-talked with the County Manager regarding this matter with Mr. Moody and ha 19 -been referred tc the County Attorney. Mr. Ross stated that he would like 20-know where the County stands regarding inspections of mobile homes. 21. Mr. Gledhill stated that Ordinances dealing with building and 22-electrical inspections have been adopted over a period of _years and needed 23-to be reviewed before giving an answer as to the County's position. 24 • Commissioner Gustaveson stated that the Planning Office would be awar 25 -of changes regarding building and electrical codes. 26 • Mr. Gledhill stated that an ordinance which was adopted years ago may 27-not give this Board the authority which they once thought they had. He a 28-that he wanted to find out if recent laws have changed and if that power 29- - still.-exist. He asked Mr. Ross to not hoo up the electricity for Mr. 30-Moody until Wednesday. i Page 2 2- Commissioner Willhoi.t stated that he felt the County . should act unde 3- the asumption that the Ordinance is valid. 4 . Mr. Gledhill will contact Mr. Ross as soon as his research is comple 5. Mr. Ross left the meeting at this time. 6 . The County Attorney informed the Board that there was a potential 7. conflict with REA. In 1971, new legislation known as the Mobile Home Act 8- enacted by the General Assembly eliminated the necessity of electrical in, 9 - spector inspecting the wiring system in mobile homes. After the 1971 law 10- was adopted, all mobile homes coming into North Carolina were required to 11- have a certific te ,of compliance with the electrical code of the State so 12. individual insp ctions of mobile homes were eliminated on a local level. 13. lghat was not eliminated was the inspection of the actual hook-up of to 14. mobile home he new regulations stated that unless the County by Ordini 15 . makes individual inspection of the hook-ups a local responsibility or an 16. inspector responsibility, it shall be done by the mobile home operator or 17 . owner. The mobile home owner is charged with keeping records of all hoop- 18. and the inspect x:�duty is to inspect the records of the mobile home owner. 19. Mr. Gledhill stated to what degree that change overrides whatever 20 . Ordinances the County has adopted or whatever inspections the County has 21. adopted or whether the County has adopted an Ordinance that retains the 22, individual mobile home hook up inspection, he does not kn 23. He stated that the adoption of an Ordinance after the law regarding mobile 24. home hook ups could probably be construed as an.�Ordinance which makes each 25 . mobile home hook-up the responsibility of the Inspection Department rather 26. than the mobile home owner. He added that the County had adopted an 27. Ordinance which brings the County under some of the exceptions to the Stat 28. Code, one of them being a dwelling house, which means mobile homes. Wheth 29. this includes pl- ggina in, Mr. Gledhill is unsure. 30. The County Attorney will advise the Board of Commissioners of the rest of his research.

Since that time the staff of TJCOG has been working closely with County San'itarians, Division of Health Services and Division of Environmental Management personnel , as well as with the North Carolina State University Department of Soil Science, to develop a program of work which will lead to a better understanding of the alternatives available for wastewater treatment at individual homesites as well as define alternative means to effectively regulate and manage these systems. TJCOG has received excellent support of this project from all of the above mentioned parties and has prepared an application for project funds. The Environmental Protection Agency has reserved funds for this study. A summary of benefits to and efforts expected from Orange County as study participants is included for your use. Funds available from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will cover 75% of project, costs and the study proposes to provide the remainder of the project funds through in-kind match from local governments, the Division of Health Services, and North Carolina State University. TJCOG has worked closely with the County Sanitarian and the County Board of Health and has conservatively estimated five (5) man-months of in-kind match available to the project. This commitment from the Board :of Health will not increase the workload of the County Sanitarians and no major redirection of their work effort is required or expected. EPA requires a memorandum of understanding between the County Board of Health and TJCOG for this in-kind match prior to funding the study.

Thi also was true of the executive chairs but the lower quality appears tab adequate for County needs and the price difference is $35.00 per chair. t 2) Thai all side chairs bids be rejected since the budgeted amount is exceeded. A different type of chair similar to the public seats in the Commissioner Room may be purchased at a lower price at a later date. 3) That all bids for the six correcting typewriters be rejected and that orders be placed individually according to each department's needs. A vendor (which produces the typewriter in this class that our prospective users. indica s most clearly Meets their needs) did not submit a timely bid due to ca fusion in the mails caused by the Finance Department. Their bid received late would have been the highest bid, and any rebid would still leave them hi her. But the very strong feelings on the part of the pro- spective users about the quality of the bid machines would suggest leaving purchase decision to individual department heads. 4)" That the bid for the 'large electronic printing calculator be re- jected since the only bidder to meet specifications was 59% over the budgeted amount and leave this decision to the involved department head as to what . modifications might be appropriate. 4 In those instances where the budgeted amount exceeds the recommended bid, funds ara available within the total equipment budget of each depart- ment. Since the appropriation is for the total rather than single items, no amendments are needed. The one exception is health and a proposed amendment is included elsewhere on the agenda.

Your county desires to establish a health department an my resume will indicate that 'I am experienced in such an en.dea or. Since 1971 I have worked in. a large urban setting. How ver, prior to 1971 my experience was in smaller population co- ' ties with underdevelopment problems ( including one county Sri -h a. small population. and a large university) . I have b en mandated in the past on 'three occasions to either singly or doi �tly build a large agency and have met that challenge with a measur : of success. In those endeavors quality was not forgotten. A recent independent study rated my present department as probably th best in Tilinois ( excluding Chicago which exists in an unratab e world of its own.) . i am quite aware that such a rating is due to the staff efforts. As further introduction of myself, T classify myself as a pragmatic, principled administrator who expects a great deal of of fvr't from h� s staff.. However,, i am not a ' sour, crusty; type and I enjoy p .easan:t relationships. As I have handled and spent large sums o.; public monies on social goals, one might get the false i.mpresi n that I am a fiscal liberal. A check on my record and backgroun fill reveal that I am considered a fiscal conservative with a libera.. social philosophy. in matters of public health ( this latter remark has been made by conservative physicians who are opposed to an public health programming) . The one -thing that I and my conser ative physician friends agree upon is that I do squeeze out a. lot for dollar spent.I I would ajoy learning more about your position and specifics on what you hEpe to create and accomplish. Based upon your further interest- , I w-11 furnish. appropriate references and details as requested. Sincerely yours, erry R. Robinson. Resume Jerry R. Robinson Personal.

Our procedure f r filling vacancies that occur on our Board prior to the expiration of a member's term, is as follows: We contact the a propriate Board of Commissioners and request that they publish a pub notice that such a vacancy exists, and describe the type of representative needed to fill that vacancy. ( In the case of rs. Parker, we would like to replace her with a low income, minority female in o der to keep the 55 member board mix in balance and in conformity as required by Federal egulations.) All names submit ed in response to the public notice should be submitted directly to the CHSA Nominating ommittee, at our agency headquarters no later than September 22, 1977. Upon receipt of he names, the CHSA will promptly mail to the individuals a personal resume form which we will ask them to complete and return. The Dominating Committee then screens and compiles a list of those names which fulfill the requirements of the vacancy. At this point, t e list of names is submitted to your Board of Commissioners to deter• whether any name app aring on the list is unsatisfactory to the Commissioners. If so, that name is removed from the list and the Nominating Committee proceeds to make its selection and recomm ndation to the CHSA Board of Directors.

I write in evexal capacities. First, by joint appointment of the Mayor of Chipel Hill and by the Chairman of the Board of Coumiissioner: of Orange County, I write as Orange County Coordinator for Government. Group and I dividual Opposition to 140 routing in Orange County. Secondly , I write as a former Adjunct Professor of Duke University and as a pe son who has almost continuously for over ten years worked to protect he educational and research interests associated with the Duke Forest research area now threatened by various proposed I-40 routings in in Orange County, Finally , I write as an individual vitally interested good government and in wise environmental choices of th kind associ ted with routing of I-40. I also writ in the context of an environment in which a Federal. Agency (CIA has predicted a dire car fuel shortage by 1982, 1111merou other studi s support such prediction, Additionally, I write in the context of his State facing an increasing water shortage whose impac is directly related to highway planning. In sum and ubstance, I urge and recommend the following for your considerati, n: 1. T at you cancel. from your September 9 agenda. and defer for t e moment any discussion of I-40 routing for reasons h reafter set forth. 2 . D rect and order the Department of Transportation to immediat: 1 dertake an in-depth study of the energy crisis , the CIA e�ergy study, automotive fuel. supplies and related question and bring back to the Board its findings and recommendation a the following areas : The Honora le Members of the North Carolina Board of Transportation Page 2 September 1977 a) When does North Carolina expect itself to be in a cri: so far as available and obtainable fuel is concerned_ b) How will such crisis affect the need for highways. c) What criteria should prevail for evaluating highways J the viewpoint of energy consumption. d) at should be the policy of the Board with regard tc new highways in the interim. e) What should be the policy of the Board with regard to developing mass transportation in lieu of highways as the same relates to available energy. 3 . Jn view of the current water crisis , direct and order the l partment of Transportation to also immediately undertake ar depth study in conjunction with other State agencies dirE to identifying where water shortages exist, how present ME ways and future highways contribute or would contribute to water consumption and bring back to the Board findings and recommendations in the following areas : (a) What critical water supplies presently exist in areas related to projected new highway or highway expansior. (b) How do existing and future highways affect water con- sumption in the impacted area. (c) What should be Board policy so far as relating highway location or expansion to available water in the impact area. 4. S eci.fical.ly, as to the 1-40 routing, that you further order aid direct the Division of Transportation staff to conduct farther studies and revise the last Environmental impact Study relating to 1--40 to include the following information n w totally and completely lacking: (a) Analysis of the total land area impacted and consumed by existing 1-35 in Orange County. ( ) Analysis of the total land area that would be impacted and consumed if and when 1-85 is six or eight laned in Change County as has often been discussed and projecte by the Division of Transportation staff. ( a) Analysis of the total land area that would be impacted and consumed by each proposed alternate route now unde consideration for 1--40 . The Honorable Members of the North Carolina Board of Transportation Page 3 September l 1977 (d) Analysis of how each proposed alternate would be affec if 1 65 is six laved or eight laned. ( ) Analysis of the total energy consumption associated wi each proposed alternate 1•-40 route and the area impact. by such route. (f) Analysis of the total water consumption associated wi each proposed alternate T-40 route and the area impact by such route. . ( ) Analysis of how the need for each T.-40 alternate will affected by availability of fuel. (. ) Analysis and comment on such matters as : (i) Orange County land use plan. (ii) Analysis of present use of land in Orange County (iii) Projections of population growth in impacted are (iv) How academic and research activities of Duke University and University of North Carolina would be affected by the presence of an inter- state highway between the two campuses. (v) Haw future park and recreational planning by Orange County would be affected by the presence of an interstate highway routed along any of the posed Orange County alternates .. ( ) A comparison of the cost and practicality of removing each 1-40 alternate and restoring the land in the even such alternate is later abandoned because of fuel shortages in the future. 5. T at you further find, order and direct with respect to 1 40 that no decision shall be made with regard to 1-40 r,uting until a revised Environmental Impact Study is compi circulated for comment and discussed in a further public h aring. 6 . T at you, further find specifically with regard to the Last public hearing held June 29 , 1976, at Rogers Herr School, DI ham, North Carolina, that such hearing should be regarde a having been conducted in such manner as to have rendered t e same null , void and ineffective and not in compliance w th procedure or law for the following reasons : ( ) A primary purpose of the hearing of June 29 , 1976, was obtain a recorded transcript for the record for later review and for circulation to interested Federal._ and The Honora le Members of the North Carolina Board of Transportation Page 4 September 1 , 1977 State agencies and other parties .. b) The public hearing notice announcing the hearing of June 29 , 1976 made mention of the intention to compil( an "official transcript" from the hearing. c) Some forty-two (42) speakers did speak, some at lengtl and others briefly, but all spoke under the impressioi that their remarks were being recorded in public and verbatim for the official transcript which was the clear intent and purpose of the hearing:. d) In fact, some nine (9) speakers including portions of opening remarks intended to record the purpose of the meeting were either not recorded at all or recorded in part.. e) The Department of Transportation did not inform the public and has to date effectively seen fit to hide from the public the loss of the portions of the tape related to the nine speakers . (f) From the viewpoint of the 1-40 opposition, at least sc of the lost recordings are traceable to significant ar. substantive matters of opposition that were not, thoug stated publi.cl.y, recorded as intended and required. (g) :Included among the significant lost recordings were those of the Moderator , three attorneys representing various interests , a leader of a prominent environment group , the Superintendent of the Durham County Schools and the Chairperson of the Orange County Board of Commissioners. ( ) rose speakers whose comments were lost were apparentl l individually notified even though the public at large has never been so notified. Such speakers were given an opportunity to add comments over an extended period of time not afforded members of the general. public. I point out to each of you the tremendous importance of the very limited re�ztfining undeveloped land area between Durham and Chapel Hit to the Tutu e of Orange County, Duke University and the University of North Carolina. An interstate concrete strip with all of the atten.da motels , fil ing stations and the like between these two great campuse would unque tionabl.y not only set up a psychological barrier, introdu noise , heat and pollution, but would absolutely in time destroy any opportunity for the healthy and controlled growth and land use planni now envisioned. The Honorab e Members of the North Carolina Board of Transportation Page 5 September 1 1917 I simply po nt out to you how scientists in the Research Triangle Par have rejected a new airport runway aimed towards their laboratories . may be assn ed that the overwhelming feeling of faculty in this area is in opposLti.on to destroying Orange County between the two campuses by having ahother highway aimed at and through the very green researc and recreat'ona1, land that brought them here in the first place. I a you to carefully consider: Which is more important , the preservation and protection of Focal forest and stream for University education, research ani recreation or the sacrifice of such forest and stream fo the con.veni nce of the motoring public. In summary, the President of the united States and the Governor of North Carolina have both recognized and set in motion various efforts aimed at both recognizing energy and water shortages and causing governmental actions to recognize the same. Further, both the Presid and the Governor have solicited citizen input and have pledged themse to assist citizens in achieving and practicing good government . Since your Board is a part of State Government and has only recently talon office it clearly behooves you and each of you to fully inform yourselves and to act both responsibly and wisely. We also ask that you act consistent not with what seems best for the moment but ghat i for the future and gears ahead as far as it can be seen. Respectfully yours ,W" e"�- B.

Hill Memorandum To : Orange County Board of Commissioners From: Sam Gattis , Orange County Manager Date: September 5, 1977 Subject: Present Dater Use From lake Orange Fri ay afternoon I met with Mr. Mason Banks, General Manager and Mr. Sam dwards, Plant Manager, of Piedmont Minerals. According to their estimate they had enough water to continue in open-°tion for an additional half day then they must close. To help bring you up to date in this matter I have attached a copy of the letter I sent to Mr. Edwards and Mr. Banks concerning their water situation. Our conversation of last Friday essentially substantiates the factual information concerning water usage I re- viewed in this letter. Piedmont needs at least two additional weeks to complete work on its recycling system. When completed their water use should be re- duced from roughly 750,000 gallons daily to 250,000 gallons daily. Unfortunatel3 this system will not benefit us as much as first glance indicates. iedmo� t is presently using 750,000 gallons per day, A large amount of this water is evaporated in their process and the remainder returned to the river. At this time the water returned is providing much of the flow in Eno River that, is used to dilute effluent from the Hillsborough sewer plant. If this flow is curtailed a critical condition mi ht arise below the Hillsborough sewer plant. In order for Piedmont to Flace its recycling system into operation it must, after completing its system, fill a sediment pond that holds in excess of 20,000,000 g lions. At current operational levels this will take about six weeks. Therefore even if completed I am not sure we can spare the water necessary to fill this basin. In any event Mr.' Banks and Mr. Edwards are here to request you allow me release additional water from Lake Orange in order that they might continue in operation. Based on their present fourteen hour week day the need 750,000 gallons per day. A curtailed work day would . reduce their water demands. At fresent the lake level at lake Orange is 510 feet 8 inches. This means there are approximatley 350,000,000 gallons of water re- maining in t e lake. Perhaps only 70% of this water is usable, from a quality standpoint, however all can actually be withdrawn from the lake. On the assumption only 70% of the water in the lake is uasble our present vater situation is shown below. Lake Capacit, 490,000,000 Gallons 30% Unusable 147,000,000 Gallons Usable Balance 343,000,000 Gallons At a lake le el of 610 feet 8 inches l30 000 000 Gallons have been used.

BOX 1350• MARION.NORTH CAROLINA 28752 • PHONE(704) 652-7121 August 30, 1977 :Board of County Commissioners Orange County Gentlemen: This is in regard to the resolution, pertaining to HB 658, i.n-troduced to the annual conference of the .0 ul Association of County Comissioners in Charlotte by Commissioner 'Macon Johnson of Camden Colanty. The officers and directors of the association, sitting as a resolution coz1mittee voted 18 to 1 against adopting the resolution. In subsequent floor actions the 5 certified conference delegates voted 35 for the resolution, 28 opposed, and 22 abs wing. A copy of said reso ution is enclosed herewith. As a member of the committee i strongly opposed the resolution as other members did, primatily because we felt that the associ.at: should have no part in telling our legislators that they had made a mistake. Certainly, at this tune, no one has any way of knowing whether or not the General Assembly has made a mistake. BB 658 does have a sunset provision -- that the legislature will watch closely to see how the law works, and that the legislature does not have to gait three years for the sunset provision if it feels changes are necessary before then. if we are to involve ourselves at all, i should be after some evidence that the law is not working or is harmful 'to the publ'c. T respectfully urge your board to vote agadmat the resolution in order that a good relationship may be maintained with the General Assembly._ Sincerely, - �� e '. `- F Rich dsan PR/dh BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER ; Paul Richardson,Chairman/Guy L Hensley,Vice Chairman!George Ellis.M D ;Mrs Jane Greenlee!Hawley 1N.Hicks COUNTY ATTORNEY: Robert C Hunter—(704)652-2844 COUNTY MANAGER: 1 ack H Harmon COUNTY ACCOUN'CAN i: )udy A Wright
