<br />There being no further business to came before the Board of Equalization and
<br />Review the meeting was adjourned.
<br />Chairman Walker re-covened the Hoard as a Board of County Commissioners.
<br />Betty June Hayes, Register of Deeds, requested to bring a matter before the
<br />Board. She stated that "she had discussed G. S. 161-30 Section A with Bill Laws,
<br />Assistant Tax Supervisor, and that Mr. Laws felt that the provisions of th].s
<br />statute would be advantageous to his department, therefore, she was recommending
<br />that the Board bring Orange County under the provisions of G. S. 161-30 Section A.
<br />Upon motion of Commissioner Henry 5. Walker, seconded by Commissioner Flora
<br />Garrett, it was moved and unanimously adopted, that the Register of Deeds be
<br />authorized to bring Orange county under the provisions of G. S. 161-30 Section
<br />A effective as of September 1, 1974.
<br />The County Administrator advised the Board that a Recreation Grant in the
<br />amount of $S,OOD from the Manpower Council had been received, Mr. Gattis
<br />advised the Hoard that the provisions of this grant required that the money be
<br />used for a Summer Recreation Program for the county. This would include the
<br />Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. Discussion ensued. The Board
<br />requested the county N,anager to work with the Towns in order to determine how
<br />the grant could be properly allocated.
<br />The Board began a budget review. Chairman Walker recommended that the Board
<br />restore the $1,50D that had been requested by the Orange-Alamance Water Systems
<br />for a study of the McGowan's Creek area as he felt we should protect the water
<br />resources that lies within Orange county.
<br />The County Administrator suggested that the Board could allocate $1,500
<br />from the Revenue Sharing Funds tc the Utility Fund and thus restate the
<br />requested appropriation and he further suggested that the Board adopt the proposed
<br />1974-1975 budget and then amend the budget by appropriating the item to another
<br />fund.
