Commissioner Nash reported that Mr. Frank McCray, member of the North Carolina Board of Transportation who had signed the original petition asking for addition of Twinkle Drive to the state road system, had advised him that based on the desire of some of the people who had originally signed the petition it was his wish that the Board rescind its action of August 2, 1982. According to Commissioner Nash, Mr. McCray had instructed Department of Transportation officials to take similar action to rescind approval of the addition of Twinkle Drive to the state road system. Mr. Bill Menius, resident of Twinkle Drive, requested that Twinkle Drive remain a private road. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Nash and unanimously carried, the Board rescinded the action taken by the Board on August 2, 1982, which had approved the addition of Twinkle Drive to the state road system. The Board requested the North Carolina Department of Transportation to not consider favorably the petition to add Twinkle Drive to the state secondary road system and to return the petition to the County. Mrs. Frances B. Long, Director of Social Services, reported that the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Division of Social Services, were planning the future distribution of cheese and creamery butter to needy households during the months of October and December, 1982. She advised the Board that in order for persons in Cabarrus County to receive the cheese and butter it would be necessary for the County to provide freezer storage facilities, paper bags for the distri- bution of the butter to recipients, and staff members from the Department of Social Services to work with volunteers in dispersing the butter and cheese to needy households in the county. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board agreed to accept the cheese and butter to be distributed to the needy households in the county under the direction of the Department of Social Services. The amendment concerning the dis- tribution of butter to the agreement for distribution of process cheese as approved is as follows.
