Terry Murphy, General Manager of the Carolina Inn, spoke in support of this <br />increase. He feels they need to proactively go out and sell Orange County to visitors. <br />Margaret Skinner, President of the Orange County Lodging Association, said that this <br />Association comprises large and small hotels and the bed and breakfast establishments. She <br />presented letters of support from Jan Chovanec, General Manager of the Siena Hotel and from the <br />Orange County Lodging Association. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis <br />to close the public hearing and endorse this proposal effective July 1, 1996. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION -CONSENT AGENDA <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to <br />approve those items on the Consent Agenda as stated below: <br />A. BID AWARD FOR THE WATERLINE AT THE NORTHERN HUMAN SERVICES <br />CENTER <br />The water supply at the Northern Center has an unacceptable copper content, which <br />can be alleviated through the installation of PVC piping. The water lines were replaced with copper <br />lines a few years ago; however, the acidic nature of the water at this site reacting with the copper <br />piping makes their continued use unfeasible. The scope of the work covered by this bid will include <br />not only re-piping all water lines in the facility, but will also allow for the installation of internal <br />storage tanks, which will allow us to abandon the use of the existing elevated water tower as our <br />source for potable water. The Board awarded the bid for water line replacement at the Northern <br />Human Services Center to Sparrow and Sons Plumping at a total cost of $30,001 and authorized <br />the Chair to sign the contract. Other bids were received from Brown Brothers for $86,000 and <br />Eakins Plumbing for $53,647. <br />B. SPRING FARM, SECTION 3 PRELIMINARY PLAN <br />The County Commissioners approved the Preliminary Plan for Spring Farm - Section <br />Three with a Class B private road subject to the conditions contained in the resolution of approval as <br />presented in the agenda and on file in the Clerk's office. <br />This property is located on the east side of Morrow Mill Road in Bingham Township.
