enthusiasm for the project.
Mrs. Gallyon said the County Forester had been requested to estimate the value of the timber
on the property. She mentioned there was both hardwood and pulpwood. She also mentioned there
was a Duke Power stipulation stating that any profit derived from the property be used towards the
community match.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT REQUESTS:
11 Fee Schedule for Tvoe I & II Sewaa Treatment Systems: The health director explained that on
January 1, 1998, a fee change was supposed to occur for Type I and Type H sewage treatment
systems. However, it was recently determined this change could cost the department/county in
excess of $31,000 in lost revenue. Rabe mentioned the multi-year fee schedule was established
three years ago and did not recognize this problem. Rabe advised that the Board of Health had
approved a return to the 1997 fee arrangement.
