Mr. Durham, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 8:00 A. M. and called
for corrections to the April 7, 1982 minutes. Mrs. Hall moved the minutes be
approved. 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.

~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.
Consultant Study: Mr. Durham announced that Nancy Lane and Jim McMahan of Planning
& Design Associates will meet with the Board on May 11, 1982 in special session to
give the conclusion of the consultant study done by their firm.
New Board Member: Mr. Blake reported that the County Commissioners have appointed
James R. Strickland as the new Board of Health Member to fill the Citizen vacancy.
Prison Help: Mr. Blake asked if it would be possible for the Health Department to
use prison labor in some of our programs such as Insect & Rodent, Drainage or
Animal Control. Mr. Brown will explore this with Mr. Stallings, the Superintendent
of the prison.
There being no further business, Dr. Eakins moved the meeting be adjourned. Mrs.
Hall seconded the motion and it unanimously carried and the meeting was adjourned
at 9:28 A. M.
