Mr. Lundy said Duke Power said they had been ordered by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) to inspect and write permits for anything float is built within the permit area, everything
inside the 760 contour. Mr. Lundy said they said also they ;-ere going to do an inventory, and
anything that is unsafe or hazardous theywill have removed. They will use court action, if neces-
sary.
Mr. Lundy said the newspapers have reported that the Lake Norman Marine Commission has gone on
record as opposing this action, as they believe the counties are adequately addressing the situa-
tion. This has not been discussed with the county attorney, and the legal responsibilities of the
county are unknown at this time.
Mr. Mills inquired if the board would agree to more stringent requirements, could it be brought
under the county's ordinance, and Mr. Lundy said this could be discussed.
Mr. Lundy said Duke Power does have regulations regarding discharge into the lake.

Eight remaining bidders did not respond.
Mr. Bailey said he had reviewed the bids with Capt. Rodney Proctor, Sheriff's Department, and
Mrs. Evie Caldwell, Finance Department, and he felt comfortable in recommending Phone Services, Inc.
This company was not the lowest bidder, but they were the lowest bidder that met specifications. In
addition, their telephone system provides for growth capabilities that far exceeds other telephone
systems. This is an appealing factor since other departments may be added in the future. Mr.
Bailey said the fact that this company is a local service gives a sense of security in case of
emergency repair. The bids specified a one-hour response.
Mr. Bailey said given their bid, the equipment they recommended which he had checked out, and
their service in tfte community already, he was recommending Phone Services with outright purchase of
the telephone system. He said that over a six-year period, it will save approximately $30,000 for
the county in add itio to giving a lot of features that are not now available.
Questions were rbised by the board members in regard to the bid tabulation sheet.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to accept the bid by Phone Services, Inc., for the telephone
