ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 27, 2002 Action Agenda Item No. �0-Q SUBJECT: Update on Roy McAdoo Request/Efland Sewer System Connection DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: County Engineer's Report Paul Thames, ext 2300 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To present information requested by the BOCC regarding request from Roy McAdoo for connection to Efland Sewer System. BACKGROUND: In a BOCC meeting in May 2002, Mr. Roy McAdoo of Efland asked the BOCC to direct County Staff to provide a sewer connection to a property on Fuller Road in Efland. The BOCC requested that staff provide a report outlining the issues of Mr. McAdoo's request. The County Engineer met with Mr. McAdoo subsequent to his appearance before the BOCC and had met with Mr. McAdoo on this issue on several occasions prior to this appearance. The resolutions and rules adopted by the BOCC during the process of creating the Efland sewer system required that the owners of all properties to receive a free sewer connect have execute a sewer request document during a sign up period which occurred in 1985. No one, including Mr. McAdoo, has been able to locate such a document for this particular property or even evidence that one ever existed. Therefore, according to the resolutions and rules adopted by the BOCC, the property is not entitled to a free sewer connection. Mr. McAdoo contends that the County made an error or errors during the sewer service sign-up process and when it failed to install a free tap on the property in question when the sewer system was constructed in 1985. Accordingly, he contends that the property is owed a free sewer service connection at this time, and he requests that the BOCC direct County staff to have such a connection installed without charge.
