Commissioner White moved that the low bid of Blue Contracting Company for clay pipe be accepted and approved, subject to the developer furnishing the required bond, the City of Sanford approving the project and that footage costs be determined up to the property line of the proposed sites. Commissioner Cooper seconded the motion and upon a roll call vote, it was unanimously adopted as follows: AYE: Cooper, Rogers, White, G. Wicker and F. Wicker NAY: None The Executive Director of the Central Carolina Health Planning Council, appeared before the Board and discussed with them Lee County's establishing a membership in a Regional Comprehensive Health Planning Organization. At present, all of the other Counties in Region "J" belong to the Central Carolina Health Planning Council except Lee County and Johnston County. No formal action was taken at this time. The Chairman advised the members of the Board that the Governor had appointed a Revenue Sharing Commission which would hold a meeting in Cumberland County on December 8, 1972. The Board discussed Landfill operations and invited Mr: O. B. Stokes the City Manager, of the City of Sanford, to attend their discussion. Upon motion of Commissioner Cooper, seconded by commissioner Gordon A. Wicker, it was RESOLVED to allow the City of Sanford to utilize the County Landfill site at an annual charge of $10, 000. 00, said charge to be prorated on a monthly basis and use of said site may begin on December 1st. The roll call vote was as follows; AYE: Cooper, Rogers, White, G. Wicker,, and F. Wicker NAY: None There was a discussion about Land sites still retained by the City of Sanford which were of concern to the County Recreation Department. The City of Sanford contends the Legion Hut had been leased to the Sanford Jaycees and was not apart of their Recreational Program, that the Dr. F. L. Knight land had never been utilized but was available to the County if plans for its use were presently available and that the lands south of Washington Park had never been recreational property. The County Attorney was instructed to confer with the City authorities since it is the Board's understanding that the Recreation Commission would like to utilize all of these sites. The County Manager discussed with the Commissioners a grant for additional law enforcement personnel through the Law and Order Committee. The Board advised the County Manager the additional employees had been hired with County funds and if the grant was available to reimburse the County the Board would be happy to accept it but it was not interested in a grant for hiring still further employees.
