Mr. Grathwol seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Abandoned Structures Policy: Mrs. Hall reported that the General Statutes mandates that "every County shall perform the duties and responsibilities as set forth in N.C.G.S. Chapter l53A, "Counties", including Article 18, "Planning and Regulation of Development", which provides for County Inspections Departments to make periodic inspection, subject to the Board of Commissioners' direction for unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise hazardous and unlawful conditions in build- ings within its territorial jurisdiction. 'The County Inspector upon finding such defects, shall notify proper parties, seek compliance with the law, or after notice and hearing take corrective action to remedy the defects by repairing, closing, vacating or demolishing the offended structure". Since the General Statutes mandate that the County Inspections Department shall make said inspections subject to the Board of Commissioners directions, Mrs. Hall moved that the Board of Health leave such endeavors to the Inspections Department to avoid duplication of efforts, and to render assistance as consultants or as a source of information. Mr. Whaley seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Seafood and Shellfish Ordinance: Dr. Neal reported on the Public Hearing for the proposed Seafood Shellfish Ordinance. He and everyone in attendance felt it was very beneficial. Several questions raised by the hearing were: 1) What can be covered by the grandfather clause 2) Need for a right of appeals section 3) Trash removal daily (trucks only pick up two times per week) 4) Method of keeping tags on shellfish containers and records of same. Dr. Neal reported that there will be one more public hearing before the final draft is presented for adoption. Fee Committee: There was no report from the Fee Committee who is still gathering data for the fee schedule. Board Schedule - 82: Mr. Durham did not have the final schedule ready at this time. Septage Disposal: Mr. Grathwol had no report for septage disposal. Mr. Blake re- ported that the County Commissioners are still working with the City regarding septage dumping and that progress is being made. 00891 r~ ~ater Samples from Community Water Systems: Mr. Blake feels that water samples should be collected by the Health Department instead of by the owner of the Community Water Systems. Mr. Brown will provide some information regarding this sampling at the next meeting. ~ ........ .' Animal Control Advisory Committee Vacancy: Due to the death of Chris Evans, who was appointed at the April meeting to fill the existing vacancy, Dr. Neal asked that this appointment be deferred until the June meeting.
