BOIII( ~ ?;ECG Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen moved that the secondary road which runs from Secondary Road No. 1464 to the plant being constructed by William H. Rorer, Inc. , be named "Rorer Way". Commissioner Jack D. Funderburke seconded the motion and upon a vote, it was unanimously adopted. Mr. S. Vernon Stevens, Jr. , appeared before the Board representing the Stevens family as owners of the E. C. Watson subdivision in Broadway to appeal the tax valuation set by the Tax Supervisor's office. Apparently the property had been overlooked or the paperwork mislocated during the revaluation work. Mr. S. F. West- brook, Tax Supervisor, also appeared before the Board. After hearing the property owner and the Tax Supervisor, the Board took the matter under advisement. Mr. S. F. Westbrook, Tax Supervisor, appeared before the Board and presented a list of taxes imposed through clerical error, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and made a part hereof. Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen moved that relief be granted in accordance with the list presented by the Tax Supervisor. Commissioner Jack D. Funderburke seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. The Board then considered the appeal of the Stevens family on the E. C. Watson Subdivision. Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen moved that the values as established by the Tax Supervisor be affirmed. Commissioner Jack D. Funderburke seconded the motion and upon a vote, it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Thomas Johnson, Director, Health Department, appeared before the Board and reported on the condition of the X- Ray machine at the Health Department. He reported that it was impractical to repair the present equipment and recommended the purchase of a machine which produced a larger picture. He estimated the cost would range from $11, 000. 00 to $14, 000. 00. For a larger machine the cost of film and processing would also increase. Mr. Johnson also suggested the imposition of a small charge to help defray the cost of the service. Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker moved that the District Health Department be authorized to prepare specifications and advertise for bids for the purchase of an X-Ray machine which bids are to be submitted to and opened by the Board of Commissioners. The motion also endorsed the idea that the District Health Department initiate a charge for this service. Commissioner Lila P. Nielsen seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Ron Ferris and Mr. Taylor Uzzell appeared before the Board on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Commission. They reported to the Board that the Commission had prepared and hoped to file an application for a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for $175, 000. 00, which would be used to renovate and enlarge the facility at the Jaycee Park in Sanford for use by senior citizens, handicapped, and other special groups. After discussion and assurance that this was a 100% grant from a private foundation, Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker moved that the Board endorse and approve the Parks and Recreation Commission's application for such grant and authorize the Chairman to issue a letter to that effect. Commissioner Jack D. Funderburke seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted.
