(For copy of the resolution relating to the issuance of General Obligation Bonds see page 44 of this book). Chairman Whitted referred to Item 14: The Manager's Report on the Status of membership on the Board of the Durham-Orange Manpower Council. The agenda attachment stated that Orange County has eight appointments to make on the governing board of the Durham-Orange Employment and Training Service Advisory Council. At present, ten persons are named to serve in these positions, however, two or three of these persons are - -. not attending tha meetings. A member of the Council has asked the question, who are the official delegates from Orange County. The County Manager stated that James Wallace served in an exofficio capacity and did not vote. His attendance was infrequent. Mr. Gattis recommend- ed that since Mayor Wallace was an exofficio member, that he be omitted as well as one other member. Upon motion of Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to omit the name of Phyllis Locklear from the membership of the Durham-Orange Employment Training and Service Advisory Council. The Clerk was instructed to inform Ms. Locklear of this action and to also write Mr. Joe Augustine and request that he send a respresentative to the meetings, if he could not attend himself in order that his organization might. be represented. Item 15: The Manager's report on the Thexmal Efficiency Study pro- posed at the Mental Health Center Property. The agenda attachment stated that the principal thermal problem encountered thus far was anti- cipated heat build-up during the summer. A prospective vendor is runn- ing a computer analysis to determine the effect of a particular type screening designed to help control this problem. Because of the north- south orientation of this structure substantial solar heat will be accumu- lated through the outside walls during the summer. Considering the fact the building is of masonry construction there is little possibility of adding insulation to the walls. Tc improve thermal efficience must be confined almost entirely to redesigning the overhead insulation system and window arrangement along the outside walls. A study of this sort'. would cost approximately $1,200. Such a study would take between two and three weeks. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he felt the basic design of the building was already determined. He suggested thermo glass and shading and to not get into any sophisticated alterations. The County Manager was asked to check into the matter further. Item 22: Chairman Whitted will discuss possible County Membership in the Neuse River Basin Association. The Chairman stated that this was an effort to reactivate the Neuse River Basin Association and to his recollectin, Orange County had never been a member of the Association.
