The fact finding committee that were appointed by the Board at a previous meeting to study the needs of the County appeared and presented a very fine report as to the needs for school uuild,ngs, roads and other county offices. The Hoard accepted the report and thanked the committee for their fine work and assured them that the report would be carefully studied at a later malting. It was brought to the attention of the Hoard that the Town of Chapel Hill had been collecting the taxes in the Chapel Hill Special School Dis- trict since the creation of said district and that the handling of such taxes had been very much of a burden to the Town of Chapel Hill tax author- ities and had not proven a satisfactory method of collecting this tax.

After full discussion the members of the Board were of the opinion that the County should take over such responsibility. Upon motion of Commissioner Laws, seconded by Commissioner Wilson the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the County of Orange be fixed with the duty and respon- sibility of levying and collecting of the taxes in the Chapel Hill Special School district beginning with the present tax year and the Board requests that the 1989 Session of the General Assembly pass such special act as is necessary to accomplish this purpose.
