BE IT RESOLVED as follows: (1) The action of the Chairman and Clerk of the Board of Commissioners in filing with the Local Government Commission of North Carolina, an application for its approval of said bonds, on a form prescribed by said Commission and stating in such application such facts and attaching thereto such exhibits regarding such bonds and to the County and its financial condition, as may be required by said Commission, is hereby ratified and approved. (2) The action of the Clerk of the Board of Commissioners in causing a notice of intention to file such application, containing the information required by law to appear in such notice, to be published in The Sanford Daily Herald, a newspaper published in Sanford, in the County of Lee, North Carolina, on December 29, 1972 and January 5, 1973, is ratified and approved. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker seconded the motion, and the motion was adopted. Those voting for the resolution were Messrs. Cooper, Hancock, Rogers, F. Wicker and G. Wicker. No one voted against it. The Board discussed the transfer of the gasoline storage tank to the site at the corner of Elm and McIntosh Streets, and authorized the Superin- tendent of Buildings and Grounds to have the transfer made and the installation of a metered gas pump which is operated by means of printed tickets showing the number of gallons pumped. The Chairman called to the Board's attention a request from Sylvester Turner, for establishment of a Youth Council in Lee County. The matter was discussed but no action was taken, and Commissioner Rogers was requested to request the recommendations of the Recreation Commission con- cerning this project. The Chairman called to the Board's attention a letter from Dr. 0. David Garvin, District Health Director, where he was objecting to the Vetinary Public Health Section of the removal from the approved list for use of rabies vaccine having an inactivated tissue culture origin. Since the rabies control officer for Lee County is a Vetinarian, it is not expected that this will create the same problem in Lee County as in other counties in the Health Department. The Chairman noted that a letter had been received from Childress & Roberts, Inc. , quoting insurance coverage on automobiles to be purchased for the Sheriff's Department. The Clerk was instructed to advise them that these vehicles would come under the fleet policy presently maintained by the County and from which this agency receives a portion of the premium. Mr. Hugh Brewer appeared before the Board and presented the bids received for 24 inch bored well. The low bid was from Blackwelder Well Company- at a rate of $6.00 per foot. The low bid was accepted and Mr. Brewer was authorized to have the well bored at the Sanitary Landfill Site. There was a discussion about the hours of operation at the Sanitary Landfill and Mr. Hugh Brewer, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, was authorized to install a gate at the entrance at the Sanitary Landfill and to prepare a sign to advise the public of the hours of operation. The Clerk was instructed to distribute to the Board the suggested regulations for the operation of the Landfill and to furnish a copy of same to the City Manager of the City of Sanfordfor his comments.
