discussion of the Olson Aircraft deal at our meeting this morning -- I think the
news item vas captioned something like "County Chairman Sets the Record Strsight".
or words to that effect. ,
In that item, I believe you wcre quoted as saying that the County~s interests
wtre fully covered sind that we (the County) do not stand to lost anything in this
somewhat odiferous case of doubling dealing. ,

IOLSEN AIRCRAFT COMPANY - (continued)
New for the record, I wznt it stat~d clcarly that (1) I think we should dis-
cuss it zs fully zs needs be. (2) I think it smells of a fast shuffle for a con-
` cern which we never heard of~to get a hold on a piece of property, maybt for specu-
lation -- maybe not -- but z piece of property which previous hoards of County Com-
missioners had refused time and apzin to sell for commercial ourposes -- but have
~ I . insisted, rightfully, should be reserved for industry. (3) I thiak that we should
make every effort to regain possession of that piece of property for the good of Ne~
Hanover County.
~ (4) I think we should assure ourselves that the Olsen Aircraft Compzny's
Agent or so czlled agent here had the anthority to sell out zll that Compa~y's assets
without a board of directors meeting or a stockholders meeting ~nd if this szie wzs
~one as illegally as i~owas surrapticiously, that we should instruct our attorney to
, proceed with all haste~attempt to nullify the sale of the piece of property in question.
• , .
Gentlemen, I believe we should do more th4n Just sit by idly and szy "Well,
the County won~t lose a~y money." i say it will losE more Lhan the little $11,000
involved. Besides that, there is a right and wrong wzy of doing business, and I say--
this is wrong for Mew Hanover Countiy and its people. I do not want to have a part
i~ sanctioning an underhanded deal,sueh as this. ,.
- ~ • •
Gentleme~; for nll of these reasons, I move that this Board, in interest of the
future industrial developmcnt and on behalf.of the people of.this County, direct our
attorney to make zll possible effort to regain possession of this property."
IIt wns seconded by Mr. Braak who statcd that he was in full agreement with.Mr. Hall~a
Istatement. The County Attorney remarked thzt the County still owns the land and that the
lonly thing that was sold was the right to exercise the option to buy. He is of the opin-
ion that the County will abide by the receivership proceedings. He does not know exactly
how to proceed until after the temporary receivership is settied but will then proceed to
the full cxtent of the law to protect New Hanover County, The Chairman reminded the Board
Ithat at thi timc this contract was made, the motion carried without a dissenting vote.
;When the ballot was taken on the motion above, Messrs. Bowden, Braak and Hall voted "YES"
innd~the Chairman did not vote, stating that he thinks the County is bound by the contract,
however, he deciared the motion carried.
ROOFING PROP05AL
Mr. John T. Watson, represcnting the American Pliable Metals Corporation,
stated that he understood that the roof on the Court House was leaking when it rained. Hi
said that his company manufpctured a roof coating mzteriai which carried a ten year bond
to stop leaking roofs. He supportcd his ciaims by letters he had reccived from Boards of
County Commissioners and Bozrds of Education and others and offered to take the Board or
any of its members to see.the w~rk~that had been done for other counties and allow Lhem to
talk to the interested pa~ties. The Chairman thanked him for his presentntion and asaured
him that ttee Board would be hzppy to have him present his proposal and estimate of the eost
for their consideration.
ANNUAL CONVENTION - STATE ASSOCIATION OF REGISTERS OF DEEDS
Mr. E. Paul Blanchard, RegisLer of Decds, informed the Board that the annual
'meeting of the State Association of R~gisters of Deeds, is scheduled to be helat zt the
Blockade Runmer, June 12-15, 1966. He szid he was aware that the Annuai Convention of
thc County Commissioners was sheduled for thc same time but he hoped thzt at l~ast one of
Commissfoners could be present to welcomc the guests of the Registers of Deeds Convention.
~He requested the Chairman to write a letter of wei¢ome to the president about three weeks
ahead of the scheduled meeting and urged any Commissioners who did not plan to attend .
their own convention to be present at the Registers of Dceds Mceting.
MODERNI2ED RECORD SYSTEM
Sam'40. Johnson, Chzirman of the committee appointe~ by the Board to investigate
and recommend ways and means of improving the tax tisting and tax coilecting procedures,
reported thzt the committee would like for the 8o~rd to seriousiy consider the purchase
of an electronic computing machine which woul~ eliminate three operations from the tax
listing system now used and prepare pre-printed receipts for the Tax Collector~s Department.
County Auditor Love remarked that the present system is simple and accurate but that the
modern machine system would speed up delivery of the tax books but to instalt the system
and purchase the machine would rvn into lots more money. The Board asked Mr. Johnson if
he had an estimate of the cost and he replicd he did not have an itemized estimate but that
from his conversation with othcrs he would ,judge it would amount to somewhere in the neigta-
berhood of $20,000. The Bozrd then requested that he endeavor to secure an estimnte nnd
report back at a later date.
~I PUBLIC WORKS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1965
The Chairman reminded the Board that a decision on the request of the Torrn .of
ICarolina Beach to alesign~te New Hanover County to participate in th~ programs of Title
I of the Public Works and Economic Act of 1965 was delayed until they h~d received a recom-
'Imendztlon from the Chamber of Gommerce. In z letter dated April 26th, the Chamber of Com-
merce recommended that New Hanover County be designated to participate in financi¢1 assis-
tance providcd in Title I of this Act in order that the Toxn oP Carolina Beach might be
made,,eligible to receive a grant to help cxtend their water and scwerage lines to a poten-
'tialL'.`araa. Mr. Srazk then offered a motion Lhat Lhe Board of Commissioners request that
New Hanovcr County be designated to participate in thc progrnms under Title I of the P~blic
Works and Economic Act znd made eligiblc to receive grants for industrial pro,jects under
the Act. It was scconded by Mr. Bowden and unanimously adopted. The Executive Secretary

LATE LISTING PENALTY
, At the last mecting, the Tax Supervisor conld not recommend waiving late
listing penaitics on Long Lezf Acres, Incorporated. Sincc that timc, the owner has
listed his personal property and convinced the Tax Supervisor that ht made an effort to
list this real ~state within the tax listi period and, therefore, now recommends that
the late liatimg penalty hc waived. Thi~~onsistent with previou~ policies of the !
Bozri. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, secon ei by Mr. Hall, the recommendatiom of the I
Tax Supervisor was npproved by a thrce to one oote. Mr. Bowden requested that he abstaii

REASSESSMENT REQUEST -
A letLer was received from the S. E. Cooper Company, requesting ~ reduction
in the 1965 assessment for taxes of the old Boyle ice Company Plant. The Tax Super-
visor recommended thnt this mztter be referre~l to the Board of Equalization and Reviex
which is schedute~ to reconvene at 11:30 today. It was unanimously approved by com-
mon consent.
INDUSTRIAL PLANT SITE -
Mr. Henry M. Uon Oesen, a local Consulting Engineer, presented the folloiving
proposal for considerztion of the Board: .
°1. 1'he Kellvood Company is pisnning an exp~nsion of their facilities in the vicinity
oP Wilmingtort, North Carolina. ~heir present plants located on 13th Street between
Mzrstellar ani Kiider contiin GArver Nhnufacturing Compzny ani France Neckwear Company.
An ultimzte expansion program of around 200,000 sqnare fcet of plant space is being pro-
grammed. Present construction in the amount of 50,000 sqnsre feet is suthoriecd end
constrnction fs scheduled to begfn within the next sixty days. Th3S 50,000 squzre
foot plant ia estims-ted to provide employment for 250 to 300 persons. ,
2. A~uitable plznt site ad,jacent to good transportation routes (truck only) is being i
sought. One of the sites in consideration is one of two tracts reflected on the attacheil
sketch which tracts are on Connty property just north of 5mith Creek on 23rd Street
Extension. The two tr~cts are approximately the same size in Innd area nnd extend from
23rd Street back to a drnw as shown on the sketch.
3. The Kellwood Company would like to consider purchasing approximztely half of either
tract; tbe front one-half of either tract ahichever may be decided upon with an option
to pnrchase thc remaining land within five yenrs for further expansion than that shown,
parking, opcn storage and so forth. i
LE. It is my underst:nding that this-company would~be willing to include in any agree-
ments the guzrantee that the land is::uded for.the pvrpose which they intend in the con- j
strnctiin of an indusiriai piznt (clothing mznufacuring) and that in the event the plant,;
nrt not constructed in nccordance with an agreement that the land would revert back to
the County or refusnl of purchase at the origina2 price would be gu~ranteed to the Count~~.
5. We have been zsked to provide for you some summary of information~,w.hereby onr opinioli
of the value of the land and the physical characteristics of the lan~ might be made knowi
to yon. No ~iscussion of the pricing involved in a previous lease to Olsen Aircraft isl
included nor do we feel this has anything to do with thc present arrangements. The lani
upon vhich Olson is located is much better land than that in the two tracts considcr~d. ,
There is zn o2d borrow pit and hndly eroded area which occupies much of the center porti>n
of Tract ,~1 and a portion of Tract #2. Neither tract is level enough to a¢comodate a
building withont consilerablt grading requirements which, of course, is direct initial
cost to make the land usesble. All of the front portion of both tracts is below the
roadway considerably. It would be our opinion in appraising the site for constrvction
of thc pl~nt of the type which is proposed that it is only fair due to the lowness of
portions of it, the requirements for extensive grading and compaction, and the tack of
top sofl in portions of it which provides problems and crosion znd surfnce control.
While the land has excellent access to a State roadway its proximity to the Airport is
of no ndvantzge as there is no air freight involved in this iniustry. The proximity
to two runways is of question and while tht sites are not r+ithin the approaches of
either runway, still its factors nre of some considerztion. Without consideratfon of
the factor of enconragement to cooperate in tt~e location of this im~ustry in New Hanover
County it would be our opinion Lhat the fAir market of this land would be in the neighbo -
hood of $35.00 per front foot. '
6. I will, with your permission, appear at your meeting on Monday, May 2nd to answer
any question which you may hzve concerning this request and in an effort to obtain from
you some preliminary commitment zs to the availability, conditions and cost of either of
the two tr.cts shown." ,
The Chairman advised him that he was definitely receptive to thc idea of tht expansion
of an established industry. After z brief discussion, Mr. Bowden moved tt~e Ch~irmnn
be zuthori2ed to appoint a Committee including the County Attorney to make z study of
the proposition and to investigzte the property and nake rccommendations to the Board.
It was seconded by Mr. Hall for the purpose of discnssion. When tht ballot was taken,
the Board unanimously adopted the motion And the Chairman nppointed Mr. Braa.k, Mr.
Tillery, and himself as the Committec. ~

CONIPLAINT - SPEEDING ~
'" ~ A letter ans rcceived frem C. E. Benoy, a property or+ner on Bradiey Crcek,
.~ at its confluence with thc'intracoastal Waterway, appealing to the Board for some rcgu-
lation for speeding boats entering Bradley Creek. He reports that this matter hs-s been
taken up with the Coast Guard and the State Wildlife Commission. They suggested that
I he present it to the Commfssioners for tiheir action to stop the speeding and in the in-
' teresi of protection of property. He ascerted that the BradLey Creek Nhrina had been vcry
-cooperative but that few of the boatment give consideration 3t all to his problem. After
consultation with the General St~tutes, the County Attorney snggested that it be referred
back to thc Coast Guard and that the Board of Commissioncrs had no direct ~urisdiction.
(After the metting, the Chairman requested the Executivc Sccrctary to send the corras-
pondence to Mr. Benoy, which is self-explnnatory, to the Coast G~xi rd nnd the Wild Life
Commisslon and ask them to take whatever action is within their province of the law to givc
~ Lhis mzn some relief on this probltm if possible.)
REVALUATION REPORT -
Mr. W. J. Nelson, 5upcrvisor of the Southern Appraisal Company, mzking the
octennial revzluation for the County, maele a progress report stating that his estimate of
the completed work amounted to !}0~ of .the entire County. He admitted that it was not go-
ing as fast as he had hoped but he felt that they would be abie to complett the Job in
the alloted time. The Chairman thanked him for his progress report and asked that he make
ariother one at the firsL meeting in June. ,

~who is willing to act as Clerk in these double terms for $20.00 per day. Upon motion of
Mr. Hall, seconded by Mr. Bowden, the Board unanimously approved this proposal with the
salary to be paid ovt of the Sa.lary Account of the Clerk of Superior Court Budget. After
a brief discussion, Mr. Hall moved that the Board grant this request for a temporzry

making the personnel study for the Connty. He stated that at the time t~ke-~.ime the
Icontract was made it was with the understanding that the number of employtes in the Study
Iwould be betrreen 150 and 175, therefore,+he quoted a unit cost per employee of $8.50.
jAfter omiting the pcrsonnel at Community Hospital, it rcduced the number o.f employtes to
102 and therefore, the unit cost based on this number is $10.00 per person. This reduces
Ithe total cost but increases the unit cost. After a brief discussion, Mr. Braak movcd
Ithat the Board approve this charge for the reasons outlined and ordered the bill paid.
IIt was seconded by Mr. Hzll and unanimousiy approvcd.

AUDIT REPORT - ',
County Auditor Love presented the Board with an independent audit of the
County Retirement System made by William C. Barfield, C.P.A., for the fiscal ye~r end-
ing June 30, 1965.
NEW HANOVER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - PROGRESS REPORT I~
Mr. S~eymonr L..Alper, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the New Hznover ~
Memorial Hospital, reported that the physical structure is 72% completc at this.time.
This is 2% behind the`schedule but is considered a fine performance by the builders.
They are now in the ~process of working on personnel. It is hoped that the staff now
using the offices in the Court House might vacate them within a very short time. These
figur¢s are given as of March 31, 1966. They anticipate some problems might arise
in staffing the hospital but are working hard to use the trained people who will be !
transferred from the now existing hospital staffs. The Chairman of the Board of Com- '
missioners advised him that the County had ~just complcted a personnel study made by '
a Consultant in Raleigh by the name of J. Lyman Melvi~, Jr. and hoped the Hospital Board'~
would keep this in mind in making their own policies. ~i
FIRE SCHQOL
Mr. Hall stated that he had been contacted by the organizers of the Voluntcerl,
Fire Department Schools to be held at the Airport which vns approved by the Board some-
time ago. They have inspected the pump on the wcll on the site and find that the
estimated cost for repairing it aill run vary high and that they are not sure that par- '
ticular size pump fits the capacity of the well. Before spending any money on the
tquipment, thty would like to havc the County have the well cleaned out ns it has not
been used for more than 15 years and the water has an odor. After some discussion, ~
it was decid~d adiitional information is necessary before making.a decision on the
matter. Mr. Hall stated that he would get the additional information and bring it back
to the Bozrd:.at a later date. He presented a drawing of ihe present water system nt
the Airport which shows that it is connected to the proposed well and would very well ,
serve as an Quxiliary supply for the Airport as an emergency. The practice zrea set
aside for Lrzining firemen to fight oil fires aill proee very beneficial to the efficienc'y
of the volunteer fire departments. T1ie well is 93' deep and the estimated capacity is I
300 GPM. The present supply at the Airport would last only 8 to 10 minutes in an
emergency fire and could be snppifed from the line now tappe~ off to the well at this
practice area.

ASSEMBLY - I
The regular semimonthly meeting of the New Hanover County Board oP Commissione~~,
was held on the above date in the Commissioners~ Room of the County Court House with the
following members in attendance: Chairman Jos. ~P. Hooper, Commissioners, Laurence O. !
Bowden, Peter H. Braak, and J. M. Hall, Jr. Commissioner M. H. Uaughan ~aas out of the
country and could not be present for the meeting. County Auditor T. D. Love and Connty
Attorney L. Bradford attended the meeting: ,
INVOCATION -
The Chairman calied the meeting to order and asked Reverend James C. P. Brown,
pastor of the Sunset Park Methodist Church, to give the invocation.
APPROVAL OF THE MIMUTES -
i7pon motion of Mr. Braak, secottded by Mr. Bowden, the minutes of the meeting of
May 2nd, copies of which had been sent to each member of the Board, were unanimously
approved as written.
CAUNTY PROPERTY LEASE -
Messrs. Charles ~@. Brown and Charles T. Pappendick, President and Secretary of I
the trlest Coast Lumber Company, a~peared before the Board in the interest of renegotiating
the rental lease in response to the letter suthorised by thc Board to notify them that on
and after June 30, 1966, their rent would increase from $110 per month to $200 per month.
They expressed their agreement with raising the rent to $150 per month but felt that
$200 was excessive and while thcy would be ferced to accept it untit other arrangements
could be made, if the Cotronissioners do not see fit to reduce it, they do not feel that
their present volume of business would justify that amount of rent, however, they do need
the storage space. Mr. Braak observed that the original lease agreement stipulzted that
the lessee was to keep the buiiding !n good repnir, however, in his opinion, it needs a
new roof coating and one of the weight bearing posts needs to be replaced and he thinks
that some agreement shou2d be made as to who would pay for this maintenance and repairs. .
Mr. Broum stated that as far as Lheir business is concerned, the condition of the buildin I
is satisfactory. After a discussion of the r~tter, the Chairman suggested that the '
Building Inspector be instructed to go out and make an inspection of thc.buiiding and
bring back his estimate of repairs necessary to put the building in good condition. !
