Capps, Jr., who was serving as Mayor of the City of Wilmington when the gentlemen's agreement between the City Council and the Board of Commissioners was consumated, appeared before the Board of Commissioners today, at',their request to verbally corroborate the understandirig that the City was obligated to repay the $19,822.31 which was spent by the County on the extension of the City waterlines to,the Wertheimer Bag Company, if it was taken inside the City limits within a period of 5 years. Mr. Capps recalled that, acting in his capacity as Mayor, with the approval of the Covncil, such an agreement was entered into but that he could not recaii the time element, whether it was 2 years, 3 years or 5 years. He also could not explain why no record of these agreements were recorded in the minutes of the City because he would not have taken such action without the sanction and approval of the Council. He reiterated that there is no question about the agreement but he is not sure on the time element, howevery he is convinced that unless it was agreed to as claimed and recorded by the County Com- missioners, they would not have gone alono with it. The Presiding Officer thanked him for comino and stated that so far as he is concerned, this will end the discussion of the matter as he does not intend to mention it again. Mr. Bowden observed that is an unfortunate situation but he feels that it points to a lesson that all future agreements must be in ti•~riting in a legal form. • WELFARE APPROPRIATIONS AND TRANSFERS - Complying with the requesL of the Couut,y~•Aud;iL•or T. D. Love and Publ ic Welfare the following transfers: Board of Commissioners at the last meeting, Director, Miss Lela Moore Hall, recommended From • Intangible Tax $640.00 1965 Ad Valorem Tax 110.00 to Aid to the Blind $750.00 ~ ~35ao.oo ADC 3500.00 " APTD 7,000.00 oaa i75o.o0 " r~aa ~ i,75o.00 Hospitaliiation MC-1 7,~00.00 " Hosp.- Out Patient 7,500.00 Hospita13,2ation MC-1 1,150.00 " Auto Allowance 1,150.00 Spec.

(Breakdown of the $52,000 on Page 602 under "REPORTS") RQAD PETITION A request was received from the property,owners on Mason~s Drive asking that it be added to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. Mr. Hall moved that it be approved along with a special letter to the State Highway Commission stating that it is used by many people and badly needs improving. It was seconded by Mr. $owd and unanimously passed. COURTROOMS - Complying with the request of the Board at the last meeting, Messrs. Oxenfeld and Newkirk, the Architects employed to renovate the Court House for Courtroom space, ~ came in to make a progress report. .Before hearing from them, the Presiding Officer requested a report from the County Auditor with reference to the amnunt of money that could be raised through a bond issue without a vote of the people. He reported that $I}85,000 in bonds was amortized in the past fiscal year which means that tt~ County could legally seli $383,000 worth. He suggested, however, that the Board might issue bond anticipation~which must be retired within a 5 year period to cover the cost of II the improvements. Mr. Oxenfeld, speaking for his firm, reported that after investigatior~, they find that no changes are recommended in the Recorder~s Court Room. To level the floor in the .Svperior Covrt Room balcony and reinforce it to safe strength would be very costly and not a very desirable solution. He has inspected the renovated court- room made by the Durham County Commissioners in which they made a horizontal partition, which,likewise,could be done in the New Hanover Superior Courtroom but it, too, would prove to be a costly pro,ject. He estimated that it would cost $1']5,000. Ptr~-crttrer The other alternative is to use the 3 rooms on the riorth side of the second floor of I the old Court House Building, now occupied by the New Hanover Memorial Hospitai Offices.l He thinks, after consultation ~uith the ,judges and attorneys, that these rooms would be suitable for a Domestic Relations Court and believes they could be renovated at a minimur cost. Hesuggested that the Board appoint a Courtroom Advisory Committee for further study and recommendations. After a brief discussion, Mr. Bowden moved that the architect;s be thanked and paid for their diligent services in connection with this problem and askeqi them to stand by for future consultation. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously~ carried. ~ ~~~ Minutes of April L~~ 1966 ~continued) - ~PERMANBNT LOOSELEAF REGISTRATION - Mr. Bowden informed the Boar@ that he had invited Messrs. Jack L. Yarboro and Mayo tiolmes, Jr. to report on_the materials which they had ordered and the amount of ~their cost in preparation for installing a permanent looseleaf voter registration system in New Hanover County. Mr. Holmes;; speaking for the Board, explained their orders, item by item, the total cost of which was $1~,341.74. In the discussion which followed, I Mr. Yarboro stated that so far as he knew this inclvded all of the expenses which they had obligated the Board to pay except Mr. Holmes is entit2ed to pay for 25 days work. ~ The legal time for public notice to make a change has past and, therefore,no further action ~can be taken on this pro,ject before the May primaries. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Hall moved that the Auditor be instructed to make no additional payments for personal ser- vices, except to pay bills made before today until and unless they are approved by the Board of Commissioners. It was seconded by Nr. Vaughan and unanimously adopted. LEAGUE OF WONIEN VOTERS - The Officers of the League of Women Voters, headed by its President, Mrs. Esso Ci~eminons, appeared before the Board, in support of a uniform state-wide permanent looseleaf voter registration system. She stated that the League is a non-partisan organization and takes action in support of, or in opposition to, selected governmental issues but does not support or oppose polftical parties or their candidates. Its purpose is to promote poli- tical responsibilities through informed and active participation of citi2ens in government. They decry the apathy, unconcern and indifference of the voting public and feei that the ,permanent registration system would be one means of insuring each voter who.is qvalified a meaningful challenge. They offer their services in assisting the Board of Elections in making the changeover and assured the Board that their offer is not.,just an impulse of women looking for something to do but are offering their assistance in the interest of the community and they are competent and skilled and capable of helping the County to install the system. The Chairman thanked them for their interest and wiilingness to present their views. "AZALEA FESTIVAL CREDENTIALS - Mr. Lloyd W. Moore, President of the Azalea Festival Committee, presented each member of the Board of Commissioners~with their credentials and invited them to take an lactive part in welcoming the guests during the Festival ceremonies. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION AND REVIEW OATH - - The Tax Supervisor had arranged with Miss Lois J. Ward, Clerk of Superior Court, to administer the Oath required by G. S. 105-327 (c) preparatory to entering upon their duties as a Board of Equalization and Review, beginning April 18th. At this point_in the meeting, they were sworn in and each of them present signed the Oath as evidence as having taken it. CSC - BOND While Miss Ward was present, she informed the Board that she was having the bonds changed over but did not as yet how much they would ~ost. After a brief discvssion, Mr. Bowden moVed that the bonds~be paid for after approval by the County Attorney, the cost to come out of the General Fund and that this motion include the appropriation. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. COUNTY PLANNER - Mr. J. M. Hall, Jr, introduced Mr. Leslie N. Boney, Jr, saying that they had discussed the establishment of a~joint County-City Planning operation and he thought Mr. IlBoney could make some suggestions that wouid contribute to it. Mr. Boney stated that competent Planners are scarce and now is the time to start putting out feelers to see if one is available if the Board intends to implement it by July 1, 1966. The City of Wilmington has employed a Planner Lo replace Mr. Hudson who recent2y resigned and he feels that the County shouid likewise be looking for one ahose past experience has been broad. ~He proposed two definite recommendations, (1) that the Board of Commissioners adopt the principle of having a Joint Board so the County could have some perogative in hiring a competent Planner; (2) after;.the Board is established by a,joint effort, to get a staff organized. He believes that people of that calibre are available if approached on the basis of a,joint operatibn. After a lengthy.;discussion of this sub~ject, Mr. Hall offered a motion that each member of the Board of Commissioners commit themselves as being favor- able to includearn~haif the cost of a,Joint operation of a Planning Board. This will en- able the Commissioners to participate in the interviews in collaboration with the City officials in selecting a Planner with broad experience in County and City Planning, the details to be worked out ,jointly. IL was seconded by Mr. Bowden. Before any discus- ;sion, Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute motion that the Board will go along with 50~ of a Joint Planning Board. There was no second to this substitute m~tion and the Chairman declared it dead. After discussing the matter, the vote was unanimously in favor of the original motion. CITY TRASH BURNING A note was received from the New Hanover County Airport Manager enclosing let- ters which he had received from the Federal Aviation Agency, the State Board of Heaith and the New Hanover Flying Association calling attention to the hazards tn flying aircraft created by smoke arising from burning trash at the City Garbage Dump. It was also pointed out that the refuse at the dump attracted seagulls which helped to create another hazardous condition. It was recommended that a relocation of the Trash Dump was the solution to the problem. Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that a letter be written to the City Council addressed to its Mayor, advising them to cease and desist from burning trash as it is causing a hazard to the safe flying of aircraft and respectfully request that they colla- borate with the Health Department in eliminating this problem. It was seconded by Mr. Hall. During the discussion, it was decided, by common consent, that a copy of Lhe let- ter shoud be sent to each member of the Council. The motion was adopted by unanimous vote. ,!:'J&4~ - Mi.r~,,.t.e.s-nf_t_he=Maat in~ t3pril~J. _~-19.6b-Cnnt.inned..~ _ ..- _ __ .
