r ey . ~ Mr. Trevine stated that this action did not address the problem of the Commission. Commissioner Gustaveson then suggested that this discussion be tabled and that a meeting be scheduled with the Executive Committee for the Commis- sion for Women. Mr. Gustaveson withdrew his motion of nominations. The Commissioners scheduled Thursday, September 22, 1977 at 5:30 p.m. as a meeting to meet with the Executive Committee. The meeting was sche- duled at the Golden West Restaurant in Chapel Hill. Nancy Park then asked that the Board fill the obvious vacancies on the Commission in order that there might be good representation at their next meeting. Upan motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to appoint Jackie Pulley, Sarah Ridenbaugh, Arthrell Saunders, Carolean Craig, Mary Jane Burns and Debbie Lee to the vacancies on the Commission for Women. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 6: The County Manager will present a petition requesting paving through the participation paving program signed by residents of the Morgan Creek Hills area. The County Manager presented the petition to the Chairman and stated the petition necessitated some discussion since there is an appropriation attached to it and this presented the County Attorney with some procedural problems which the Attorney will explain. He added that signatures on the petition have been verified. A Financial Statement of the arrangements for property owners to pay for the paving of these roads was presented to the Board. The County Attorney stated that the financial arrangement presupposes an additional appropriation of $1,944. Also Mr. Gledhill stated, the monies required to complete this paving project would be spent before the project is completed and that the County would have to rely on the resi- dents of the Morgan Creek Hills to provide the monies before the project is completed and Mr. Gledhill stated that he was not sure this is what the County should do. He added that this would mean changes in the Prelimi- nary Assessment Resolution and detail, which the proposal presented to the property owners. Mr. Francisco, a resident of P4organ Creek Hills, stated that those persons in the Morgan Hills area who will pay cash for their portion of the paving will do so before the third week in October. Commissioner Pinney suggested that the County Attorney proceed with the. preparation of all the legal documents and the Final Assessment Resolu- tion and if at that time all the money is not received from those property owners, then the County does not have to adopte the Final Assessment Resolu- tion. The County Manager suggested the Assessment be based on the total amount the property owners will pay in cash. and the total amount the County will finance, which amounts to $491 per person. This way everyone is assessed the full amount. Sf this is not done, the Board of Commissioners will not finalize the Final Assessment Resolutions The Board agreed that this is the way to proceed. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that $1,944 be taken from the Contin- gency Fund and put into the Road Participatien Program. Commissioner Willhoit seconded the motion. Disoussion ensaed. The County Attorney stated that the petition no longer applied. The Attorney was requested to revise the petition and to present it to the County Commissioners at their .next meeting, as will the Preliminary Assessment Resolution. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. The Finance Officer was requested to prepare the proper budget amend- ment for the $1,944.
