M. Gattis, County Administrator; Neal <br />Evans, Finance Officer; Jeff Gledhill, County Attorney; and Agatha <br />Johnson, Acting Clerk to the Board. <br />The Chairman announced that the first item of business is to recog- <br />nize persons not on this Agenda having business to transact with the <br />Board. <br />No one came forth. <br />Chairman Garrett referred to Item I22 on the Agenda: Mr. Ebert <br />Pierce, the County Extension Chairman, will introduce to the Board <br />Mr. Hilton Vallines, a possible employee of the County. <br />Mr. Pierce introduced Mr. Vallines to the Board and stated that <br />Mr. Vallines would like to reside in an adjacent county for at least <br />one year if he decided to come to work for Orange County. <br />Mr. Vallines spoke to the Board and stated that all the details <br />had not been worked out regarding his job as Agriculture Agent, however, <br />if he did take the job, it would be necessary for him to live in Caswell <br />County for at least one year before moving to Orange County. <br />Commissioner Walker recommended that all details be worked out be- <br />fore giving the final approval to hiring Mr. Vallines. <br />Commissioner Gustaveson recommended that the Board endorse the <br />invitation to hire Mr. Vallines, assuming details can be worked out. <br />Commissioner Whitted moved that the Board endorse the invitation <br />to hire Mr. Vallines and Commissioner Gustaveson seconded the motion. <br />All members of the Board voted aye and the motion was declared passed. <br />Chairman Garrett referred to Item VI on the Agenda: Public <br />Hearing: To consider all matters relating to the paving through the <br />assessment of SR #171.1, 1831, 1832 and 1833. <br />The Chairman recognized Jeff Gledhill, the County Attorney.

He stated that those roads could <br />not be added to this project, however, a new project could be started, <br />which would save the County and State money in paving cost. <br />An unidentified female asked what effect the proposed I-40 Highway <br />would have on the property of people who are paying their share of <br />paving these roads. <br />The County Attorney stated that if the proposed 2-40 Highway came <br />
