(See page of this book for a description of the bid.) VOTE: Ayes, 4; Noes, 0. &ddQd_tpm - Efland Sewer Line Commissioner Willhoit proposed that the Board get back on schedule with the January proposal to adopt the amendments of the Land Use Plan, to extend zoning to Cheeks Township, to designate future reservoir sites in the area, and to develop a plan to finande water and sewer extensions. He proposed that the Board table further considerations of the agreement to extend the sewer lines to Efland School, and suggest to the School Board that they proceed with repairing immediate needs of the system until a long range plan can be adopted. He noted the need to get better data for determining ways to fund sewer and water lines for Efland Estates. If a good.proposal is made showing that a lot of low-income people can be served, then perhaps a larger FHA project will enable the County to proceed by the first of the year. Commissioner Marshall noted that one of the newspapers had an interview with Wallace Harding, Finance Director, and it was indicated that the Board had taken action in appropriating monies to the schools and that the funding was in jeopardy. Commissioner Willhoit noted that the funds were to be held in contingency. Commissioner Whitted added that because of pending items in the General Assembly, $100,000 was put in capital reserve until the General Assembly action was known. - He stated that the action is known now and all the funds did materialize. Ken Thompson, County Manager, noted that presently the tax rate for the Efland area is 31% based on $861,000 in value for forty-four lots .and improvement. Commissioner Whitted stated that the sewer line issue is being tabled until September 6, 1983 (as recommended by Commissioner Lloyd), but there is a need to give the School Board some indication of the Board's willingness to provide the funds to repair the system. This is necessary not only to open the school, but so that the Environmental Management Commission will continue to give a discharge permit. He also noted that the Board should relay to the Town of Hillsborough that the cooperation shown in their effort to extend the sewer service to the Efland area is appreciated. _ Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Marshall, to appropriate $100,000 to each system (Orange County School System and Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System) , and make a decision on the $67,000 on September 6, 1983. VOTE: . Ayes, 4; Noes, 0. Mr. John Forest, Chief of the Hillsborough Fire Department, addressed concerns made earlier during the public hearing, stating that fire protection for the Joppa Oaks area is adequate, and there is no problem with the water supply. He stated there are no hydrants in Joppa Oaks. With no further business for the Board to consider the meeting was adjourned by consensus. Richard E.
