Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker seconded the motion and upon a vote, the Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion and designated that the funds be taken from the Revenue Sharing Fund.

The Chairman asked the Board when they desired to consider matters as a Board of Equalization and Review on May 7th, and it was decided to begin at 9:30 o'clock a. m. Mr. J. F. Hockaday, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Central Carolina Technical Institute, presented a letter from the Board of Trustees to the Board of Conunissioners requesting that the Lee County School Bus Garage be relocated in order that the Technical Institute might be deeded the site and begin construction of new facilities. Upon motion of Commissioner Cooper, seconded by Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker, it was unanimously RESOLVED to contact the Chairman of the Lee County School Board and request him to investigate site, price and availability of sites for the relocation of the School Bus Garage. It was requested that the Chairman find three such sites if possible. Upon motion of Commissioner J. Eugene Rogers, seconded by Commissioner William H. Cooper, and unanimously adopted, it was RESOLVED that the former New Hope School site was surplus to the County's needs and that the County Attorney was directed to have said property advertised for sale and sold at public auction subject to the approval of the Board for the bids received. The Board next considered the bill of Womble Chevrolet for repairs of a rescue vehicle. Commissioner Cooper explained that this was a repair for use as a County ambulance, however, since it was a rescue vehicle, he would discuss the bill with the authorities for the City of Sanford and see if they would participate in the payment of this item. Mr. Paul Barringer, Jr. , member of the Lee County School Board, appeared before the Board and requested the Commissioners to support the act which had been drafted for introduction in the General Assembly which would authorize the County School Board to build a school building anywhere within the County without regard to School Administrative District lines. There was extensive discussion of the matter. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker moved that the Board endorse and approve the legislation. Commissioner Hal Hancock seconded the motion. Commissioner Rogers advised the Board that members of the Sanford City Board of Education had advised him that they would consider the matter at their next meeting and take a stand with respect to the legislation at that time. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker expressed the view that the action of the Board at this time might jeopardize merger discussions. The question was not called, however, and Commissioner Wicker, with the approval of Commissioner Hancock, withdrew the motion from consideration at this meeting and stated that he would re-introduce his motion at the next meeting of the Board.
