vn 11 tack 65 , Ms. Lois Wilson of 3609 Minter School Road stated that a petition to acquire County water was submitted prior to Mr. Joyce's affiliation with the County. She questioned why residents of the Beulah Brown Road project will not be required to pay a tap-on fee. Mr. Joyce explained that the Community Development Block Grant is regulated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Division of Community Assistance in Raleigh. The grant is for housing rehabilitation, which restricts the County charging tap-on fees for residents involved in the project. Commissioner Wicker noted that if the CDBG had not been received for the area, the cost would have been much more expensive for the individuals involved. Chairman Stafford commended Commissioners Matthews and Reives, serving on the special project committee for the CDBG, for recommending that the Minter School Road petition be included in the water line project. Mr. Anthony Ragland, who currently resides near River Run, stated that he favors the request because he owns property on Minter School Road where he plans to build a home in the future. Mr. John Ragland asked why he was not notified to connect to the County's water system when it was installed on River Run. Finance Director Beatrice Fields stated that the developer financed the installation of the water line on River Run. Commissioner Reives stated that a water line will be installed in the Beulah Brown Road project area, regardless of whether or not the line is extended to Minter School Road. He stated that the committee working on the Beulah Brown Road Target Area Community Development Block Grant was trying to accommodate Minter School Road during the process.
