WATER! AND SEWER GRANT FUNDS (SENATE BILL 2) <br /> County Manager Kenneth Thompson summarized the plan for <br /> distributing water funds which are received by the County. Board member <br /> policy guidance has placed priority on utilizing the water funds to <br /> increase the effectiveness of existing raw water supplies through <br /> facility improvements. These have been identified by Hazen and Sawyer <br /> and discussions have been held with each water provider and affected <br /> citizens within the vicinity of Lake Orange. A resolution must be <br /> submitted to the State by April 1, 1986 which includes a description of <br /> each project, project cost, the funding source and certification that <br /> the town/county will be able to fund the local share. Approval of the <br /> list of proposed projects and source of funds would permit the County to <br /> meet with each water provider to finalize the projects and associated <br /> costs. <br /> Commissioner Marshall indicated for the record that any <br /> projects for Lake Orange must have written documentation from the <br /> surrounding property owners which states their willingness and <br /> understanding of the improvements. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Lloyd to adopt the schedule of proposed projects in <br /> principle. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> Ken Thompson pointed out that one and two foot measurements <br /> would be put around Lake Orange so the property owners could assess the <br /> effects on their property. <br /> Discussion ensued between Lake Orange residents and the Board. <br /> The main concern of the citizens is the encroachment on their property. <br /> Chair Willhoit explained that if the lake is raised one foot to the 61 <br /> foot level, the four foot easement would be sufficient to handle the 50 <br /> year flood. The flags will be placed at the 616 level so the residents <br /> and County could see the effects. <br /> 13.

The next regular <br /> meeting will be held on February 3, 1986 at 7:30 in the Commissioners' <br /> Room, Orange County Courthouse, Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br /> Don Willhoit, Chair <br /> Beverly A.
