Chairman Walker referred to Item VI on the Agenda: (Consideration of possible Garage and Animal Pound Site.) The County Admr. presented a map of the property of James Bennett. He stated that an cpticn had been secured on the three (3) acre tract of land that is located in Hillsborough Twp. Dicussion ensued. No action was taken and the matter was deferred until the October 15th meeting. Chairman Walker referred to Item VIT on the Agenda: (Consideration of a new office space location for the Chapel Hill Unit of Health Department and supplemental appropriation necessary to lease this space.) The County Admr. advised the Board that Dr. Garvin, District Health Officer, had located a site for the District Health Dept. Office at Eastgate Shopping Center. It could be placed in what had been the Old Hickory Farm Store, however, the building would have to be renovated in order to make it useable as office space and this renovation cast would amount to around $10,000.00. The owners of the property had stated that the monthly rent would be $700.00 and the county must pay for all the utilities. Mr. Gattis estimated that the utility cost would amount to $300.00 per month. The landlord would like to have a three (3) year lease signed for the premises and this lease would become effective as of October 1, 1974. The County Admr. stated that it appears that the sum of $7,500 to $8,000 would be needed in order to proceed with securing of this office space. Discussion ensued. Upon motion of Comr. Henry 5. Walker, seconded by Comr. Richard E. Whitted, it was moved and adopted that the County Admr. be authorized to take the necessary steps for exercising the lease at Eastgate for the District Health Dept. and the money for this project should be taken from the Contingency fund. Chairman Walker referred to Item VIII on the agenda: (Consideration of terms in the agreement between the County and Hillsborough for the investment of $98,000 in a Waste Water Treatment plant.) The County Attorney presented the agreement that had been drawn between the County of Orange and the Town of Hillsborough. The Board reviewed and discussed the terms that had been set forth in said agreement. Upon motion of Comr. Henry 5. Walker, seconded by Comr. Richard E.
