45 Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved that the Board accept the recommendation of the Planning Board to continue the Industrial zoning of the Mellott property. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Walker. Chairman Garrett called for the vote. Commissioners Gustaveson, Pinney, and Walker voted aye. Commissioners Garrett and Whitted voted nay. Chairman Garrett declared the motion passed. Chairman Garrett referred to Item #6 on the Agenda: (Through tax foreclosure actions the County has acquired several parcels of real property. The Board should authorize the chairman to name a committee to look at these properties and recommend a use or disposition of them. ) The County Manager advised the Board that the County had acquired several parcels of real property through tax foreclosure and in one instance the Town of Chapel Hill had vested interest. In order that the County might procede to sell the property it is necessary that a committee be appointed to decide what disposition should be made. Discussion ensued. It was agreed that Commissioner Garrett, Pinney, and the County Manager should be appointed as a committee for the disposal of the property acquired under tax foreclosure. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved that Agenda Item #6 be adopted. Chairman Garrett referred to Item #7 on the Agenda: (Report from Social Services Director concerning a child support enforcement pro- gram as required by Part B of Public Law 93-647 . ) Chairman Garrett recognized Tom Ward and he presented the following letter: "In order for our State to comply with Part B of Public Law 93-647 and North Carolina G. S . 110-A, we must establish and operate an effective Child Support Enforcement Program as soon as possible. A basic part of this program is the active involvement of County Governments in locating responsible parents and collecting legally constituted support payments from them. In order to discharge this responsibility, an agency of each County Government must be design- ated to work with the State Child Support Enforcement Section, which is headed by Mr. Edwin C. Riley. Since we face a penalty of a 5% reduc- tion in Federal participation in Public Assistance funding unless an effective and active IV-D program exists in each of our counties, it will be necessary in the very near future to execute a binding agree- ment between the State and your designated agency. The agreement is intended to assure that necessary staff and appropriate procedures are used in implementation of the program. As an aid to your decision making process, I am enclosing an informa- tion sheet about the program which lists several alternative agencies, any one of which could be designated. This is the same information sheet which was provided to attendees at the County Commissioners ' Association Convention in Asheville on August 2nd. While there is urgency for you to designate your IV-D agency, I feel that sufficient time must be allowed for careful consideration and discussion with persons you deem appropriate in arriving at your decision in this matter. I am, therefore, requesting that you in- form me by September 12, 1975 , of the agency in your county which you have designated to administer your IV-D program. " Mr. Ward stated that the Board of Social Services had reviewed the matter. The Board of Commissioners agreed to defer action until September 2, 1975.
