Commissioners Frye (Chairman), Langley, Davidson and Comer were present. Commissioner Petty was absent. Invocation was given by Rev. Tim Strider of Clearview Baptist Church in Cedar Falls. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the minutes of the October 7 meet- ing were approved. A group of citizens from the Trinity area came before the Commissioners to discuss and request help on a neighborhood sewage system problem. Their spokes- person, Betsy McFadden, had contacted Darrell Frye earlier and he met with a small number of this group a couple of weeks ago. Rev. James Ricks of Gray Road told Commissioners their sewer lines had been in trouble for 15 years. Their area cannot tolerate any more growth because of inadequate sewage systems. He was recently denied a building permit to add a room onto his house because of this problem. Charles Allen of Trinity Road stated that he has a commercial building which he would like to expand, but that he can't under the present sewage conditions. He asked the Board to help his group get some grant money to finance a new sewage system. Joyce Gibson of Johnson Road also requested help from the Board in obtaining grant money. She said land in their area won't perk and that existing homes have swamps, mosquitos and a bad odor. She suggested the possibility of having an engineer do a study to see what a new system would cost. Betsy McFadden presented a petition with 156 names of those who could not be present today. Francis White spoke in support of the concerns already expressed. Gurnie Peace expressed concern that this problem may extend to a nearby school. He mentioned the possibility of Archdale extending their sewer lines and allowing this community to hook up to their system although Archdlae has a cap on the number of gallons per day they can pump. Chairman Frye informed the group that the County has no system available and if it did get into providing sewer service, it would be 8-10 years before citizens could be served. He suggested that the best solution would be for them to hook up to Archdale's sewer system. Another alternative would be to set up a water and sewer district and have a private system, but that would be very expensive. Mr. Frye advised the Trinity group that state grant money the County receives goes to the cities that already have existing systems and those cities will decide how to spend their portion. The County would have to put to a vote of the citizens whether the County would have a water or sewer system. Mr. Frye suggested that the group appoint a subcommittee of three to meet with the Archdale City Manager and the County Manager to explore their options. James Sibert of Trinity stated that a preliminary hearing with Archdale's City Council had indicated there is not much chance of their extending lines to Trinity. He said, however, they would be willing to meet with the managers to see if something can be worked out. Billy Chilton, Tax Supervisor, gave an update on the Sophia and Coleridge - Erect Fire Districts, which were formed in June, 1985. After the billings went out, the fire department personnel helped the Tax Department find those property owners in the fringe areas who had be missed in the billing. Second billings will be going out to those people. Tomorrow notices will be sent out explaining that their property or part of it was missed and that a bill will be issued within 10 days just for the fire tax. Bill Ivey, Industrial Bond Attorney, came before the Board to request final approval on industrial bonds for United Brass. On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board gave final approval for United Brass. A copy of these procedings is included by reference. Commissioners Minutes November 4, 1985 Page 2 Chairman Frye advised the Board that there is state grant money available to counties and cities for the next two years. Randolph's share is $935,089 per year. The money can be spent for water and/or sewer projects and will be 50/50 matching funds. $270,549 (2970) goes to the cities; $664,540 (71%) goes to the County. Mr. Frye noted that since the County does not have a water or sewer system, its portion cannot be utilized unless it is re -allocated to the cities. He suggested that the Randolph County Planning Board, County Manager and Joe Hardee of Black & Veatch come up with recommendations on how the money should be spent. The cities can address the Planning Board about their indi- vidual projects. The Planning Board's recommendations will be reported to the Commissioners early next year. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board approved two D.O.T. additions. Copies of resolutions included by reference. Mr. Frye informed the Board that the New Market School Road which they had approved for addition last month has not been added to the State Road System because D.O.T. has been unable to obtain right-of-way. Manager Frank Willis advised the Board of a parcel of property which the County obtained through foreclosure on October 8, 1984. A citizen desires to buy this parcel, which is located in Liberty. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board adopted a resolution to accept a bid of $360 for this property. The bid will be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation so that others may have the opportunity to offer an upset bid. A copy of the resolution is included by reference. On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board proclaimed November 17- 23 Education Week in Randolph County. Copy of proclamation is included by reference. County Attorney Ed Gavin explained a new state law aimed at resolving titles to mineral rights which have been reserved in some deeds to the grantors. The law gives mineral rights owners two years to declare to the Register of Deeds office their mineral rights. They must also list their mineral rights for ad valorem taxes. If they fail to declare their mineral rights within the two- year period, the present landowners will also take over the mineral rights. Mr. Gavin suggested that the Board publish the state law (G.S. 1-42.9) in its entirety once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously approved this recommendation from Mr. Gavin. The Board briefly discussed Ramseur's offer of their old town hall. Mr. Frye stated that he and Mr. Langley would continue to work on this issue and the matter was tabled until the December meeting. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board reappointed Addison Penfield, Billie Vuncannon and Floyd Langley to the panel of Electors for the Piedmont Health Systems Agency. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board appointed Dewey Coggins as an outside member of the Archdale Planning Board. Having no further business, the Board adjourned.
