3~s associated with the ERA Movement. Ms. Cricket Ussery informed the Commission and the Board that the Association of Women Student at UNC had donated $250. to aid the Commission until more funds were available. Mr. Whitted dismissed the group to meet in the Old Courthouse Building. Vice-Chairman Whitted referred to Item xIII: Commissioner Pinney wished to discuss some problems associated with the topographic mapping seemingly being required in the sediment control program. Mr. Odde, Sedimentation Officer has submitted the following comments to aid in the discussion of this item. "I need topa. maps to: (1) Establish drainage patterns, (2) Identify critical areas and locate the limits of the land disturbing activity. Topegraph affects the shapes of watersheds and the slopes in a watershed have a major effect on the rate of run off and the peak discharge rate at downstream points. For large watersheds or small watersheds that are located on critical steep slope areas, the inclusion of topo maps in the sedimentation control plan is mandatory; because I would need it in checking design calculations of grade stabilization structures and the estimation of peak rate of discharge. Based an the information that is presented to me during the preli- minary review process with clients and the factual data before me, I will determine whether or not to waive the requirements of sub- mitting a plan or obtaining a permit or attaching a topo map to. the Erosion Control Plan." Mr. Pinney stated that he felt there should be a cut-off point in the requirement of topographic maps. That small property owners should not be required to present these maps. Another problem, Mr. Pinney stated was who is exempted and who is not. Mr. Pinney suggested a broader outline of the requirements of the Erosion Control Plan in these two areas. The Ceunty Administrator was requested to work with Mr. Oddo and resolve these problems by revising the criteria. Vice-Chairman Whitted informed the Board that Stem XIV would be deferred until the third Tuesday's meeting. Item XIV is the County's involvement in housing programs. Commissioner Whitted would like to discuss practical ways to bring these programs together. Mr. Whitted referred to Item XV: Members of the Board of Commis sinners have been provided a Proposed Administrative plan for the County's Section 8 Housing Program. Will the Board of Commissioners authorized detaileda~egotiations, with the Chapel Hill Housing Authority, to develop a contract for implementation of this plan? ~. The County Administrator advised the Board that a proposed admini- strative plan had been developed by the Chapel Hill Housing Authority for improvement of existing sub-standard housing in the County. The duration of the Contract is for two years. Mr. Gattis informed the Board that all monies were federal monies through HUD. Discussion ensued. The Board agreed that there were many un- answered questions concerning the program and that the program needed further negotiation, possibly for a one year duration instead of two years . Commissioner Gustaveson moved to enpower the County Manager to negotiate further with the Town of Chapel Hill to attempt to negoti- ate a contract for one year beginning with July 1, 1976 through July 1, 1977. Commissioner Whitted seconded this motion. All members of the Board voted aye. and the motion was declared passed.
