Box 8181 <br />200 S Cameron Street <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />March 29, 1999 <br />Mr. Daniel C. VanderMeer <br />Chair, Board of Directors <br />Orange, Water and Sewer Authority <br />P.O. box 366 <br />Carrboro, North Carolina 27510 -0366 <br />Dear M . - . <br />Z!° p—" <br />Nzft <br />eato% <br />At the request of the OWASA Board of Directors, the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners considered at its regular meeting on March 3, 1999 a proposal regarding <br />payments from OWASA to the Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Department. <br />The County Commissioners agreed that it is reasonable for OWASA to make an annual <br />payment to the Orange Grove VFD. We also indicated that the OWASA Board of <br />Directors is best qualified to judge what would be the appropriate level of <br />reimbursement. We feel it should be fair and equitable and fully agreed upon by the <br />OWASA Board of Directors and the Orange Grove VFD. Furthermore, it is reasonable <br />to expect the Orange Grove VFD Board of Directors to factor any payments received <br />from OWASA into their annual budget and requested tax rate for future fiscal years. <br />Thank you for requesting our views on this matter. If we can provide further assistance <br />or clarification, please let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />U1.0- <br />Alice M. Gordon, Chair <br />Board of Commissioners <br />You Count In Orange County <br />AREA CODE (919) 732 -8181: 968 -4501: 688 -7331: 227 -2031: FAX (919) 644 -3004 <br />Ext. 2130 <br />
