REPORT ON VICTOR CROSBY'S REQUESTS OF THE BOARD: Mr. Carson Fisher reported on Mr. Crosby's requests of the board at the April 6, 1993 meeting. Mr. Fisher said he was able to obtain copies of HB 60, which basically calls for the sale of $120 million in general obligation bonds by the State to be utilized for wastewater and water system construction, collection lines, supply lines, and treatment facilities. Twenty million dollars of the $120 million would be utilized to provide state matching funds required to receive federal assistance. The $100 million would be to provide loans to local governmental units to assist in the financing in the cost of water line improvements. The two projects which Mr. Crosby requested the board to review have been reviewed by Mr. Fisher, who was accompanied by Mr. Crosby. The Mt. Bethel Road project would be about two miles with sixteen customers who could connect to the water line. The Olin Road Line would be approximately one mile with seemingly more potential customers on the line. Mr. Lundy said there was a request from the Harmony Volunteer Fire Department budget to put down a well that would serve the fire department and the Olin United Methodist Church as well. The fire department has been using the church's well, and now that the well is gone, the fire department wishes to put down a well that the church could use. There will be a recommendation from the fire commission that the board fund this well, Lundy said. RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE BOARD ON MARCH 16, 1993 REGARDING A REQUEST FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS TO PROHIBIT FEDERALLY MANDATED LOCAL PROGRAMS: Mrs. Alice Fortner, clerk to the board, reported she had been unable to carry out the directive in the captioned resolution pertaining to sending it to all of the other 49 states. The resolution was sent to the other 99 counties, the North Carolina Association of Counties, and the National Association of Counties. However, no address list was available to send to the other 49 state legislatures. It was recommended by the NCACC that the best route would be to send it to NACO for their distribution to the other states. Chairman Haire said she thought that was a reasonable thing to do.
