Memorandum of UnderstandinK between Lower Cape Fear Soil and Water Conservation
District and Health Department: A memorandum entitled "Memorandum of Understand-
ing between Lower Cape Fear Soil and Water Conservation District and Health Depart-
ment" had been presented to Dr. Knox by the Lower Cape Fear Soil and Water Conser-
vation District for review. Dr. Knox told the Board that he felt this organization
was expecting too much detailed reporting to them from the Health Department - that
we have certain things that are required by law that we must do and we do not have
personnel to give this organization the things they are asking for. Dr. Reynolds
made the motion seconded by Mr. Carter that Dr. Knox and Mr. Fox review this
memorandum and bring recommendations to the Board of Health in February. Motion
carried.

Carol C Mobile Home Park: Mr. Roy Bain, attorney for Robert Butler, appeared
before the Board again re Carol C Mobile Home Park. Mr. Butler still contends
that he should be allowed to finish developing this park according to the 1966
regulations as it was originally laid out. Mr. Bain asked, "If there is a Health
Hazard in 1974 why was it not considered a health hazard in 1966?" He asked if
there had been any trouble with the lots now in use in the park. Mr. Cranford
said, "Not at the present time but lines have been repaired there and tile fields
extended to other lots." Mr. Cranford explained that a different type of soil
makes up the undeveloped lots. Mr. Fox stated that if the lots in question
present a health hazard if developed - then the Health Department should refuse
permission to use these lots and a court of law would uphold them. It was de-
cided that each lot must stand on its own and was suggested that two bedroom
trailers might be used rather than the three bedroom unit. However, Mr. Butler
does not want to install the two bedroom unit trailers. Dr. Reynolds made the
motion, seconded by Dr. TidIer that if in the opinion of the Health Director and
Sanitation Department the development of these lots would present a health hazard
