Richard Whined, Chairman Agatha Johnson, Clerk MI'NCFIFS ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS JUNE 1, 1977 The Orange County Beard of Commissioners met on Wednesday, June 1, 1977, at 7:30 p.m., in the Commissioners' Room of the Courthouse in Hillsborough for the purpose of continuing budget discussions for Fiscal Year 1977-1978. Those present were Chairman Richard Whitted, Commissioners Norman Gustaveson, Jan Pinney, Norman Walker, and Donald Willhoit. Others present were S. M. Gattis, County Manager, Neal Evans, Finance Director, Jeffrey Gledhill, County Attorney, and Agatha Johnson, Clerk. The Chairman called the meeting to order and stated that there were several items which needed to be resolved prior to the beginning of the scheduled work session. Chairman Whitted recognized Jeffrey Gledhill, County Attorney, who will discuss with the Board proposed legislation. Mr. Gledhill stated that General Statute 105-285 provides for dis- covery of property held by an exempt institution if it is acquired by a non-exempt institution between January 1 and July 1. Although the listing period runs from January 1 to December 31, the tax year for which you are listing is July 1 through June 30th. As the law is presently written, it only includes the listing of real property. This proposed act would amend that to include all but business inventories. Mr. Gledhill stated that if the Board of Commissioners endorse this legislation, it would be taken to Representative Hune and Senator Vickery to introduce into the General Assembly. Discussion ensued. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to endorse the proposed legislation. The County Attorney was authorized to write a letter to the County's legislative delegates and request that this proposed legislation be sponsored and introduced. The County Attorney stated that at the last meeting he was requested to review the LEAA Application for funding of an Emergency Care Facility. He stated that he had reviewed the application and that he had no recom- _ mendation as to whether or not the application should be supported, however, Mr. Gledhill did point out that the Resolution which the County had adapted provides that the applicant intends to continue the program at its own ex- pense and to appropriate funds therefore subject dnly to budgetary limita- tions. He added that the Resolution stated that there is no commitment from LEAA for funding beyond the first year and that at the end of the first year, there will be a final comprehensive evaluation of the project by the director of the project and the Youth Services Needs Task Force. Mr. Gledhill stated that cost for continuation of this program beyond the first yeax would probably be between $47,000 and $50,000 per year. Commissioner Pinney stated that it was standard practice of LEAA to ask that the program be continued, however, they cannot xequire this. He added that Larry Cotton, Director o f the Janus House would provide the administration of the program, and that the County is committed to fund 5 percent of the monies, at a cost of $2,500 for the first year. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Walker, it was moved and adopted to authorize the Chairman to the Board to sign the Subgrant Application and that $2,500 be allocated as the County's part for funding of this project.
