-~~'.:, • Commissioner Willhoit moved to approve the proposal with the Town of Chapel Hill for 50 percent of listed Items one, two, three and four: Item 1: Base Bids $143,327 Item 2: Design Fees 12,200 Item 3: Surveying 250 Item 4: Subsurface Investig. 800 to be appropriated immediately and 50 percent of Item S: Site work at a cost of $45,354 to be appropriated in the next fiscal year. Commissioner Gustaveson seconded the motion. The Finance Director stated one problem with this method of financing is that the Board would lose control of the amount the Board will pay for site work, in that it may cost more at a later time. The•Board discussed further the proposal from the Town of Chapel Hi11 for an animal shelter. The agenda attachment stated that the Chapel Hill Board would have only one opportunity to act on this bid (regular meeting of March 13th) before the 30 day acceptance period expires on March 24. Chairman Whitted stated he felt this financing structure was different from the original idea of the two governing units. Chapel Hill may not want to go with this method of financing, and they will not have an opport- unity to respond to the County's action. He stated again that he felt the proposal should either be accepted or rejected and in order to get the project underway and to avoid any other delays, he would accept the pro- posal. Commissioner Gustaveson then withdrew his second to Mr. Willhoit's motion. Commissioner Willhoit then moved to accept the proposal from the Town of Chapel Hill as submitted, and that the County transfer $46,000 from the Contingency Fund into the Building Fund. Commissioner Walkex seconded the motion. The Chairman called far a vote an the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion .was declared passed. The County Manager stated that same dialogue was in process with Chapel Hill regarding the operation of the facility, however, he would like, to know the Board's feelings regarding this matter. Mr. Gustaveson suggested that the current program be evaluated, that the current statutes be researched under which the County is presently operating to see what the needs are. There should be a review of the fee schedule, and when all this information is compiled to formulate a bro- hure of the County's animal program. Item 12: Plats for consideration: Preliminary - A.
