=~~ S. Health care needs were discussed, specifically the possibility of purchasing and equipping a van for the purpose of providing mobile clinic service on a scheduled basis to outlying communities in the county. It was suggested by one of the planners present that more health care services may be available to the County than are now being utilized and that the Gommissioners should investigate this. Members of the Task Force understood from the planners that health care needs might not receive a favorable reaction from HUD since DHEG1 funds are more appropriate for such programs. Other items suggested but not discussed were job training and retraining; employment; and comprehensive planning for public utilities. Since there was not time to discuss these the Task Force has no specific proposals to make concerning them." Discussion ensued on each of the recommendations that were presented by the Task Force. Mark Burnham explained the 201 and 2D8 funding. Under the Community Development Act it could serve as an extension of these studies. The 201 funding for Hillsborough could be funded under the 208 program. The question was asked, "What is the role of Region J itt this matter?" It was pointed out that the Board has between now and tomorrow to make a priority listing. Commissioner Gustaveson asked, "Woujd it be helpful in terms of the immediacy of the situation if the Board took action on some of the proposals?" Another member asked "How could the Counties application be tied in with Hillsborough and Carrboro?" Further Discussion ensued. Chairman Garrett stated that she felt the Board should be specific and identify the areas of need relative to water and sewerage. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Whitted, it was moved, that the County accept the report .of the Task Force and that Items ~~1, 2, & 3 become the first priorities for the first three (3) year period of the grant. Commissioner Walker stated that he could vote for the motion provided that the Board include Item ~~4 in its list of priorities in that the areas that did not currently have fire protection were those areas that did not have the destiny required for the supporting of afire district. He stated that these funds might be used to subsidize the areas. Further discussion ensued. Gommissioner Pinney moved to amend the motion of Commissioner Gustaveson to include Items 4~4 & 5 of the Task Force as a part of the Pre-Application Grant. Commissioner Gustaveson and Whitted agreed to the amendment of their motion. Chairman Garrett called for the vote on the amended motion and the original motion. All members voted aye. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned to meet again on Tuesday, January 14, 1975, at 8 P.M. in the Commissioners Room at the Courthouse in Hillsborough, North Carolina. ~~~ ~ Flora Garrett, Chairman Betty June Hayes, Clerk Approved Items filed: Draft report from the Community Development Task Force.
