BOOK S PACE ~~ <br />L. M. Cheshire, County Attorney, presented a letter from Hyper-Video <br />Company. Said letter requested that the County certify that it does not have <br />the authority to grant Hyper-Video Company a Cable Television franchise that <br />would serve the area around the Town of Hillsborough. Said letter pointed <br />out that the Town of Hillsborough had already granted the company a franchise. <br />It was the feeling of the Board that the County had been given the authority <br />under an enactment by the last General Assembly to franchise cable television. <br />The Board requested the County Attorney to further investigate the authority - <br />of the County in such matters before ar_awering the request of the company. <br />The following letter from James E. Barrington, Secretary of the Department <br />of Natural and Economic Resources, was presented. <br />"Enclosed is the final draft of a proposed agreement among the State <br />of North Carolina, the City of Durham, the Orange County Commissioners <br />and the Durham County Commissioners relating to future management of the <br />Eho River. The purpose of the agreement is to enable the State of North <br />Carolina to move ahead with the plans V.*e have been developing for a State <br />Park on the Eno while at the same time recognizing the prior interests of <br />the City of Durham in possible use of the Eno River for a water supply at <br />some time in the future. I believe that Z sent you a much earlier copy <br />of this agreement so, hopefully, this final draft will not catch you <br />uninformed as to its intent. <br />Would you please review this agreement and discuss it with your board. <br />If you then feel that you can became a party to the agreement, please let me <br />know and I will send you final copies for your signature. Tf you have any <br />questions concerning it, please do not hesitate to call me or Dr. Art Cooper <br />at 829-49a4. <br />Many thanks for your consideration. <br />Chairman Walker brought to the attention of the Board the fact that the <br />Board must appoint its voting delegate to the forthcoming National Conference <br />that is being held in Dallas, Texas, on July 22-26, 1973. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Benry S. l+ialker, eeconded by Commissioner <br />Richard E, Whitted, it was moved that the Chairman of the Board be appointed as <br />the voting delegate to the National Conference.
