sss "We concluded that it is not really wise for Efland to go and build their own sewage plant which means this school at this present time is left in a lurch. There is no sewage system. The soils in general in that area are a lot better than they are in the southern part of Orange County. This means you don't have as many problems with septic tanks failures, but what we did suggest was that Efland consider one of our possibilities to take care of their sewage for the next 20 years. One was to go with Hillsborough and let Hillsborough run their water and sewer system. The second possibility was for Efland to incorporate and the third way is to look at a Sanitarian District. The fourth is that the County handle the problem via the County looking for aid for Efland because the County can have and can run sewer systems. This gives me a nice lead into the reason 2 am here this evening, that's really -what it means that you as a school really have no choice but _ to look at what you are doing right now. I think you will find when you talk with the State in detail about the plans to discharge your waste into a dry stream, it will not be as easy as you think it is. You may have a permit now, to discharge, but those permits are harder to comeby. Tt just means a higher degree of treatment. I don't think you will have any problem but 2 don't think it is as easy as it used to be ." Mr. Rimer stated that new regulations have just been published con- cerning septic tanks. He then referred to the proposal that had been made for Orange County by his firm. Discussion ensued. i.::. Chairman Garrett referred to Item V on the Agenda: Two Commissioners should be named to a committee that will develop policy and generally supervise the operation of the Section Eight Coordinating Committee for the Orange County Housing Programs. Commissioner Gustaveson nominated Commissioner Whitted as a member of the Coordinating Committee. Commissioner Pinney nominated Commissioner Gustaveson as a member of the Coordinating Committee. Commissioner Walker nominated Commissioner Pinney as a member of the Coordinating' Committee. Commissioner Pinney declined to serve and moved that the nomina- tions be closed. The Chairman called far the vote and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. The Clerk was instructed to notify Morris Cohen, Chairman of the Chapel Hill Housing Authority, of the action of the Board and to send copies of the letter to the Mayors of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough and to the various Town Managers of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The Chairman referred to Item V22: The County Attorny will present the following Resolutions: A. A Resolution providing for enforcement of the State Plumbing Code in Orange County. Chairman Garrett requested the County Attorney 'to read the Resolution for the State Plumbing Code and the State Heating and Air Conditioning Codes. Mr. Coleman replied that he had one resolution prepared that covered both the areas. The Chairman referred to material contained in Agenda attachment #S and she requested Ervin Dobson to speak on the subject. Mr. Dobson stated he felt that one person trained in all three areas would be the preferred method as it would mean one person could perform these duties and then he in turn could train some of the exist' ing personnel so they could do at least two jobs and in some cases all plumbing, heating and building inspection at the same time. "It appears to me we could begin immediately with one man doing at least two inspec- tions. The only hang-up would be the electrical inspections because of the State Statutes.
