Dr. Wilmer S.Cody, Superintendent of the Chapel Hill School Board and Mrs.
Irene Scroggs, t7amber of the Chapel Hill School Board, were present to discuss
the proposed construction problems, relative to finance, that were being
encountered by the Chapel Hill School Unit. Mrs. Scroggs advised the Board that
in the event of kindergartens, if required by the Legislature would definitely
affect the proposed building project program and would only add to the pressure
of overcrowded school conditions. _
Chairman Smith advised Dr. Cody and Mrs. Scroggs that the Board was aware
of the financial situation involved and that they did appreciate their being kept
informed of the plans of the Chapel Hill School Unit, but that any decision
relative to the letting of school contracts must be left solely to the discretion
of the Chapel Hill Board of Education as they were aware of the monies which had
been allocated for school construction purpose.
Paul Alston, Executive Director of the Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action
Program, Coolidge Porterfield, Assistant to the Director and Taylor McMillan,
Assistant Director of the Institute of Government, presented to the Board the facts
on how the proposed Orange-Chatham Regional Housing Authority could be established
and how said authority would operate.
Mr. Alston stated that his agency did completely support the housing program
being proposed by the Cedar Grove Housing Corporation, in that, the need for housing
in the area was acute and it would serve as a beginning point for persons who could
move towards home ownership.
The Board advised Mr. Alston that they were awaiting a reply from the Housing
& Urban Housing Authority relative to certain questions the Board had posed to that
agency and that once these cuestions were answered the Board would be in a better
position to consider the establishment of a Housing Authority.
