Mary Belle Sparrow Estate/or June Sparrow - The sixty day time <br />limit to place plats on record has expired on this plat. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, <br />it was moved and adopted to reapprove the final plat of.Mary Belle Sparrow. <br />Mr. Edwards informed the Bvard of the regular quarterly pbulic hear- <br />ing which will be held on Tuesday, May 31, 1977. He asked if the Amend- <br />ments to the Subdivision Ordinance should be presented at the public <br />hearing. <br />Discussion ensued. Commissioner Willhoit suggested that the <br />amendments be included on the agenda for the public hearing, and that <br />the Planning Board be prepared to make some recommendation in order that <br />the Board of Commissioners could take some action by the third Tuesday <br />in June, 1977. <br />Chairman Whitted informed the Board of the North Carolina Association <br />of Counties meeting in Raleigh on May 18, 1977. <br />The Chairman asked that the Board talk about the Frank Porter Graham <br />Contract. He stated that on an annual basis this amounted to $200,000 fox <br />Frank Porter Graham and given the current status of the Title XX situation, <br />at some point the contract would have to be discontinued, and that the <br />school should be notified in order that they might begin negotiations with <br />the STate to continue the program. <br />Discussion ensued. The Gaunty Manager was requested to write to the <br />administx'atron of the Frank Porter Graham School and to inquire if they <br />have found alternative methods of funding their program since the Title XX <br />monies will shortly be phased down. <br />The County Manager brought to the Board's attention the request which <br />was made by Mrs. Stewart Barbour of notification of all meetings held by <br />County Boards, Committees and Commissions. He stated that this request <br />woudl be almost an impossible task on the part of the County to know when <br />all meetings were taking place. Discussion ensued. <br />it was suggested that as complete a listing of meetings as possible <br />be posted on the bulletin board, including a statement that this does not <br />include all meetings held by County Boards. <br />Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that a brochure be prepared giving <br />the names and addressess of all boards, board members, and the time and <br />place of their regular meetings. He added that the Board should talk. <br />about this further during budget time. <br />Chairman Whitted asked County Attorney, A. B. Coleman Jr., to bring <br />the Board up to date regarding the agreement between the County of Orange <br />and the Town of Mebane concerning water lines paid for by Orange County. <br />Mr. Coleman stated that he had met with the Town's Attorney and that <br />the Attorney was supposed to meet with the Town Board and then contact <br />Mr. Coleman with some type of proposal from Mebane. He stated that this <br />had not been done. <br />The Board agreed that this was a matter that should be settled once <br />and for a11. The County Attorney was requested to contct the Town Attorney <br />and attempt to schedule a meeting to talk again with Mebane regarding this <br />situation. Mebane should provide Orange County with their view of a <br />reasonable settlement and if satifactorily action is not obtained, Mebane <br />should be informed of the possibility of legal action. <br />The meeting was ajourned.
