Dr. Sharpe <br /> introduced the members of the subcommittee and highlighted the report for <br /> the Commissioners. (This report is on file in the office of the Clerk to <br /> the Board) . Dr. Sharpe said the agency's recommendation was that the <br /> Board of Commissioners "empower a planning task force to recommend to the <br /> Board of Commissioners a schedule or mechanism for implementing the HSAC <br /> Child Care Report". <br /> Mr. Eric Munson, Executive Director of North Carolina Memorial <br /> Hospital, recommended the Report to the Board of Commissioners. He noted- <br /> that he planned to approach the Board of Directors for NCMH for in-.kind <br /> support of this Report. <br /> Ms. Janice Schopler, Chair of the Board of Social Services said the <br /> Report was an excellent assessment of child care needs in the County and <br /> also a beginning place for the plans to respond to those needs. She noted <br /> that she was not an active member of this subcommittee; however, she has <br /> been involved in all aspects of the report.

Mr. Thompson told the Board that Village Cable <br /> had proposed a solution to add lines that already traverse part of <br /> Carrboro; and, that if Carrboro would permit Village Companies to extend <br /> their lines through Carrboro it will provide cable service (at no cost) to <br /> their subscribers, even though density is less than 30 houses per mile. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit asked what the time frame might be for this cable <br /> service? Mr. Jim Heavner, President of Village Companies replied Village <br /> would begin construction as soon as permission had been received from the <br /> Town of Carrboro to extend the lines. He feels that cable will be <br /> provided to some of those areas by the first of September. Mr. Heavner <br /> continued, saying that one thing learned from this controversy is that no <br /> formal procedure had been established between Village and the County for <br /> cable lines extension. Village has agreed to refer all such requests <br /> directly to the county. The requests and petitions will then be compared <br /> to the tax maps in order to determine if criteria have been met for cable <br /> extension. <br /> E-2 ' <br /> Commissioner Willhoit moved to ratify the purchase order issued for <br /> the five Sheriff's vehicles, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd.
