Marion Rector, Kerr Street Baptist Church. Present - Chairman: S. Glenn Hawfield, Jr. Commissioners: Robert A. McClary C. Frank James John A. Hammett Charles Gallimore Cormmissioners McClary moved that the Board adopt a resolution approving a request from the School Boards for a $9.75 million referendum for school improvements, and setting September 9, 1972 as the school bond election date. This resolution is recorded on Page I%q and becomes a part of these minutes. Don T. Howell, Director of Utilities of the Board of Light and Water Commissioners of the City of Concord, appeared before Commissioners to discuss proposed new wastewater treatment facilities that would cover 95 per cent of the County. Howell said that such a project is contingent on passage of the statewide $150,000,000 clean water bond referendum on May 6, 1972. Of the County's share ($1,766,150) if the bonds are approved the State would pay $367,500 in sewer funds or 25%; and the Federal Government would contribute 55% or $808,000, leaving 20%, or $294,000 for the County to pay. S. Glenn Hawfield, Jr. Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, expressed the Board's endorsement of the Clean Water Bonds and said that sewage disposal is a big question in the County and the County has no alternative but to get involved. Hawfield pledged the County's cooperation in working with the City Light and Water Department to get "the best solution to the waste treatment problem." Gallimore made motion seconded by James, and carried, appointing Mrs. C. B. Barber and John Sharpe Hartsell as Co-Chairman of a Committee for the.preservation of public records of Cabarrus County. The two will select their own Committee members who will investigate the need of updating the records department, rebinding of worn-out books and overseeing the moving of the records from the present courthouse to the new one. Gallimore reported that County Building Inspector Charlie Irvin and Planning Director Alvin Moser had reviewed plans for the new 100 unit apart- merit complex in Royal Oaks on Lake Concord Road with the developer and they meet all county building regulations and lot size ordinances.
