There were no other changes. B. AUDIENCE COMMENTS There were no members of the audience who addressed issues on the agenda. Ms. Josephine Barbour asked permission to tape the meeting which was granted by the Chairman. Ms. Barbour asked to address the Board concerning its consideration of the Eno River Reservoir site in October; Ms. Barbour said action on the Eno site was taken despite the fact that it was listed on the agenda as a report. She said interested bodies were not notified that this item would be considered at the meeting. She questioned the legality of action taken at that meeting since there was no record of the meeting (i.e. the tape recorder malfunctioned and no tape was made); she further questioned the lack of public notice on the item. She asked that the item be returned to, the Board's agenda. Chairman Whitted said the action was taken in open session in a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and was legal. Commissioner-elect Ben Lloyd said that if Commissioners could request items be placed on the agenda he promised to return consideration of the Eno River . Reservoir site to the agenda. • C• MINUTES .. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson to approve !. the minutes of October 25, 1982, resubmitted. Vote: Ayes, 5; Noes, D. !.
