Anne Miles 2 June 28, 2001 • The extension of sewer by the City of Durham to the L & W Mobile Home Park is to be owned by the City of Durham. This condition was met according to the letter from the City of Durham to John Link, Orange County Manager, dated June 15, 2001. • A provision that limits Durham’s annexation of the Park to a future date (unspecified). At the future date that Durham wishes to annex the property, another request for annexation will be filed with Orange County. This condition was met according to the letter from the City of Durham to John Link, Orange County Manager, dated June 15, 2001. • A financial instrument/vehicle be provided to the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Board of Health that provides assurance that funds are available for the construction of the force main and lift station AND for a regular schedule of pump and haul sufficient to prevent surfacing and ponding sewage for the entire interim period prior to the force main and lift station being in full service. This condition was met as indicated in a letter from Bank of America to Orange County Health Department dated June 28, 2001. • Seek approval by the Orange County Commissioners by docketing the proposed ownership of the system by the City of Durham as specified above no later than the Commissioners meeting scheduled for June 19, 2001. This was heard and a resolution was passed at the June 19 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. Motion was made by Jonathan Klein, seconded by Martha Stucker and carried without dissent to approve the construction of the pump station, the pump and haul schedule, the intent of having sewer system owned by Durham city, with the provision that City of Durham will annex that in the future, and if that is met and the system is put in place in a six month period time, then there would be no further grounds for enforcing vacating of the properties.
