~'.,.,'. The Attorney stated that the Board needed to decide what to include in the application, what the license fee should k~e set at, whether or not a bond is required.

Item 9: Will the Board consider filing a Community Development Grant Application for the calendar year 1975? Chairman Whined explained to members of the Board the results of a recent meeting with Mayor Cates and Mr. Fairley, a representative from HUD. He stated it was the Town of Hillsborough's plan to apply for funds through HUD to complete the sewer lines far Northern Fairview, however, after touring the Northern Fairview area, Mr. Fairley stated he felt the County would stand a better chance of being funded for the project than the Town of Hillsborough. The Town of Hillsborough has submitted an application for an amendment to their 1975 Community Aevelopment grant, which would provide funding for an area south of the ridge, but would not extend any further north of the ridge where some of the problems exist. Teh Chairman asked Jerry Robinson; Health Director for the County, to comment on his recent survey of the Northern Fairview area. Mr. Robinson cited several problems which exist and potential health problems that might evolve if the sewer situation is not taken care of. Mr. Whined informed the Board that should the County apply for the C/D Grant, work on the sewer project would not begin until the late winter or early Spring of 1979. If the Town of Hillsborough does the project, work could be completed within 30 to 90 days. He stated that he feels the Town would attempt to do the project with some financial assistance from the County. He added that the problem is bigger.thari just Northern Fairview, but is a potential problem for all of Orange County, He suggested that the Board proceed with the assumption that the project needs to be done and to seek the services of a consultant firm to prepare a Community Development application far 1978. The consensus of the Board was to proceed with the hiring of a con- sultant for filing a 1978 Community Development application and to continue discussions with the Town of Hillsborough to find a solution to the immedi- ate situation in the Northern Fairview area. The Health Director was requested to send to members of the Board, a copy of his findings in the Northern Fairview area and the proposed policies for alternative septic systems.
