D-9 Z,ppoiutmonto By consensus, the Board tabled the appointment to the ABC Board until July 5, 1983 when they had agreed to consider all necessary appointments. adde,d_Jtem - Eflao6 uatcU_e-aeauar_ Commissioner Willhoit noted that alternatives providing relief from septic tank failures in Efland Estates had been considered. One consideration has been to combine the treatment needs of Efland-Cheeks School with this pzojeot, With the failure of the plant at the sobonl, now would be an opportune time for consideration of this alternative. Be said he had heard rumors that the Orange County School Board and the town of Hillsborough were considering extending a sewer line to the school. Commissioner nillbnit suggested that a meeting be called with those two units to clarify the pcuppoal. The meeting with the Hillsborough Commissioners and the Orange County School Board was set for Thursday night, June 23, 1983, The Board discussed briefly, FIB 1123 (Consolidation of Schools) , HE 1163 (Rural Fire District Taxes) , and SB 15 (Limit School Administration ruod> ' SB 15 was opposed. o-1 11E5=1984 Budget Ken Thompson, County Manager noted that an estimated aI,764,000 will be unspent at year end without Carol Woods. The County Manager noted that s560,000 of that amount was excess and available for appropriation, resulting in a o1,304,000 unappropriated fund balance. The remaining undesignated reserve is 6'6o of recommended general fund budget, or 3.4 weeks of eopendituca, During the first four months of fiscal year 1983-1984 it is expected that Orange County will spend $1,738,000 more than it will receive, which points out the need for maintaining an adequate working capital. There was a meeting with the ABC Board in which Chairman Whitted requested that the suggested reduction in distribution of ABC revenues to Orange County be restored in whole or in part. Any recovery could be used for mark up list items. If the Board asks for $100,000 more from the ABC Board, then uI64,000 becomes available for mark up items, If the Board requests o300,000 from the ABC, then o264,000 becomes available. Final mark-up items (not on the previous list) have to do with the Public Defenders Office space rental, which will become a mandatory expenditure by the County - this decision was not known as of the time of the recommended budget's presentation to the Board of Commissioners. It is estimated that it could run as high as u10,000 to provide for the rental opaco. Another item considered was the possibility that there will be an added expenditure to the County of s2,700 in Orange County's contribution to the Economic Development Commission. This will circumvent if Mebane's participation amount is reduced, which is a possible alternative to funding the Mebane Library or the Mebane Recreation Program.
