~ ... deletion of number two. The following five points are as corrected by the Board: (1) The $1,000,000 from the bond issue will be considered a loan to the future `- users of a new water supply developed in northern Orange County and this $1,000,000 is to be repaid by those same users as defined by the service ~ district. deleted (2) In order to pay this back to the Gounty there would need to be surcharges or water bills, or other methods to recapture the money the County provided for the land. (3) The future water users would pay for the operation and maintenance of that debt service for the reservoir and dam including the $1,000,000 loan from the County. (4) Any land bought by the County would not be released for use as a water supply to any entity until arrangements for payment of the $1,000,000 were negotiated. (5) The County does not intend to subsidize const~:uction of the reservoir. .Tohn Link indicated that given those assumptions for funding, an organizational stzucture would be some type of enterprise with operation and maintenance and debt service being paid for through the establishment of a service district or Authority. After various input from the Commissioners, Manager Link indicated that several models would be brought back to the Board for their review. This will be done for both of the dam sites and include input from the Institute of Government, OWASA, Orange Alamance Water System and others. 2.

Request to Initiate Legal Action -Linwood and Linda Bradsher and Glenn Fuller Planning Director Marvin Collins explained that Linwood and Linda Bradsher and Glenn Fuller placed a mobile home on property without securing the necessary planning building, health department permits. They have been notified on two separate occasions by certified mail of the need to come in and have the permit question resolved but have nat responded to either request. A third letter was sent recently which indicated that if steps were not taken to resolve the problem that this request would come before the Board of Commissioners. No response was received. He requested that the Board approve the initiation of legal proceedings against Linwood and Linda Bradsher and Glenn Fuller. After a brief discussion of this situation and two others, it was decided that the administration would make one more attempt to have this person come into compliance. As a matter of policy this should be done in every case before it is brought to the Board. i
