She advised the Board that the cost for the construction of this sewer line is presently designated at $1.4 million and that there were two possible means by which the cost to the County could be reduced to approximately $850,000 to $900,000. According to Mayor Melvin, the County is eligible to apply for~hardship funds totaling $420,000 and could also possibly obtain funds ranging from $80,000 to $130,000 from an unidentified source for construction of this project. Mayor Melvin stated that past commitments w~re made by Cabarrus County and the Town of Harrisburg under the regional 201 Facility Plan. She advised the Board the Town of Harrisburg had ful- filled all of its commitments under the 201 Plan including the construction of a water system and other improvements in preparation for a town sewer system. Mayor Melvin urged the Board to give a new designation of commit- ment to construct this interceptor sewer line, stating that the Town of Harrisburg would now lose grant funds as well as a low interest loan which has already been committed to the town if the County does not provide funding for this sewer line. The Board agreed for Commissioners Payne and Nash and Mr. Charles McGinnis, County Manager, to meet with Mayor Melvin at the earliest possible date for further study of this matter. Mr. Alvin M. Stanford, County Extension Chairman, presented a request for the acquisition of a micro-computer, Radio Shack 64KTR580, Model II, for the Agricultural Extension Service office under a cost-share program with the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service paying approximately $4,000.00 and Cabarrus County paying approximately $2,500.00. He advised the Board that the state administration had agreed to leave the micro- computer in Cabarrus County if it is purchased under the cost-share program.
