Mrs. Wright asked that correction be made in the wording of the approval
of the December minutes, to include that the minutes were approved by vote
of the board. With this correction Mr. Whitmire made the motion that the
minutes be approved. Mr. Chadwick seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Landscaping of Grounds Surrounding New Building: Mr. Durwood Baggett,
CoUnty Agent, along with a representative of State College in Raleigh
had made a study of the grounds and Mr. Baggett made recommendations to
the Board for the landscaping of the grounds. After the final bills are
paid on construction there will be funds left in this account to pay for this.
Dr. TidIer made the motion, seconded by Dr. Reynolds, that up to $2,500 of these
funds be approved for use in carrying out these recommendations. Motion
carried unanimously.
~
Septic Tank Ordinance: Mrs. Wright made a motion that before this ordinance
was adopted copies be made available for the public and that we have an
advertised public hearing. Also, that copies be sent to the New Hanover
Medical Society for their information and suggestions, if any. A substitute
motion was made by Dr. Reynolds and seconded by Dr. TidIer that the Ordinance
be approved as amended and made effective as of February 15, 1975. Effective
date would be after the next meeting of the Board and would allow time for
any comments from the Medical Society, the County Environmental Ordinance
Committee, and any others who might have comments. A vote was taken and all
voted Yes except Mrs. Wright who voted No. Mrs. Wright stated she feels we
have not had proper public input and that the whole thing has been handled
in a "sloppy manner." (Copy of ordinance as approved, posted, published.attached.)
Energy Conservation: Mrs. Wright asked if some of the outside lights might
be turned off to conserve energy. Mr. Chadwick said this had been suggested
at the bank next door and they were advised by the police department to leave
them on.
Use of Building for Meetings: It was suggested and seemed to be the feeling
of the board that use of the audiotrium should be limited to health affi-
liated organizations.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
I
Respectfully submitted,
Apprived: February 5, 1975
