The Manager recommends this petition be acknowledged, and the petiticners advised their project will be considered when particip- ating paving projects are again reviewed by the Board of Commissioners. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted that the Board of Commissioners acknow- ledge the receiving of the petition from the residents of the Colonial Hills area and inform them that their request will be considered when the Commissioners again review the participating paving program and when funds are again available. Item 9: The State Department of Transportation has advised the -- Board of Commissioners additional funds for secondary road work have been allocated Orange County. At present, the Department of Transport- ation proposes these funds be devoted to work on Old Highway $6. - Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the Board accept the Department of Transportation's recommendation for work on Highway 86. Commissioner Pinney seconded this motion. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Whitted stated that he felt there were other roads with higher priorities in the County than Old #86. He spoke of the need for Lawrence Road to be completed and he requested that the Board reject the recommendation of the Department of Trans- portation. Further discussion ensued. It was pointed out that Lawrence Road could be completed, however, there was not enough funds available to complete improvement on Hwy. 86. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Whitted, it was moved and adopted that this matter be tabled until the next meeting of the Commissioners and to request that a representative from the Department of Transportation be present at the next meeting to discuss with the Board Old Hwy. #86 as opposed to Lawrence Road and the monies required fro these roads. The Chairman referred to Item 12: Will the Board of Commissioners designate 12:00 Noon on Monday, December 6, 1976, as the time for a public hearing to consider closing of Cedar Creek Drive in the Hidden Hills Subdivision located in Eno Township of Orange County. This item was temporary deferred. The Chairman referred to Item.17: The Finance Director recommends the adoption of a Project Ordinance rather than a Budget Ordinance Amendment for the formal appropriation of the EMS Communications System. A memorandum from the Finance Director explained that the purpose of this action as recited in Section 150-13.2 of the N.C. General Statutes, adopted by the 1975 General Assembly, separates projects such as the EMS Communications system, out of the normal budget process, while still retaining other standaxd budgetary elements. A Capital Pro- ject Ordinance will not have to be considered every year for appropriatian, but it is subject to amendment, subject to audit, and subject to being included in the Manager's annual budget submission for information pur- poses. A separate group o~ accounts will be kept for this project. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to accept the Finance Director's re- commendation to adopt a Project Ordinance rather than a Budget Ordin- ance Amendment for the formal appropriation of the EMS Communications System. The Board reviewed the Emergency Medical Service Communications System Project Ordinance and requested that Items 1, 3, and 4 of the Ordinance be changed to reflect the addition of the tape recording equipment which was approved earlier in the meeting Commissioner Gustaveson amended his motion to include the approval of the tape recording equipment.
