The project is anticipated to serve between 2800 and 3000 customers by July 1, 1986, with an ultimate use of 5600 customers at a total cost of $11,200,000. FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT IS AS FOLLOWS: $7.3 million FmHA Loan 1.4 million FmHA Grant .9 million State Clean Water Bonds 1.6 million Local Funds The Commissioners also requests that the 1985/1986 allocation for wastewater projects in the amount of $296,544.00 be converted to funding for water projects and applied to this same project. The resolution is adopted by the Board this the 21st day of April, 1986. /s/ James W. Lentz JAMES W. LENTZ, CHAIRMAN Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, reported that he had located Chapter 324 of the 1981 North Carolina Session Laws which prohibits deer hunting with centerfire rifles in Cabarrus County. He stated there was nothing the Board can do as it would be necessary to change State law. A petition had been presented to the Board on April 7, 1986, requesting permission to use centerfire rifles in the section of Cabarrus County located east of Highway 52. At 8:00 P.M., Chairman Lentz stated that this was day and hour scheduled for the preliminary public hearing to receive citizen input on a proposed Community Development Block Grant for Community Revitalization and asked if anyone were present who wished to speak regarding the matter. Ms. Corinne Cannon of the Fishertown Community asked for assistance in getting sewers in that community. She stated that sewage was above the ground in many places and that hepatitis had been a problem in past years for the community. Mr. James F. Owens, Assistant Planning Director, reviewed the criteria used by the State in rating the Community Development Block Grant applica- tions and outlined the guidelines regarding housing rehabilitation, water and sewer services, and paving of roads. He pointed out that the Fishertown Community does not meet all of the requirements for funding under this program although there is a definite need for help in resolving the sewer problem in the community. Mr. Owens advised the Board that he had located a community on Highway 73 which in his opinion would be very competitive for the Community Development Block Grant program. According to Mr. Owens, the community meets all the State guidelines as a majority of the residents have low or very low incomes and there is a definite need for housing rehabili- tation, water and sewer services, and paving of roads in the community. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Chairman Lentz with Commissioners Payne, Barnhardt, and Hamby and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Upright voting against, the Board authorized the Planning Department to pursue the Community Development Block Grant application concerning the grant money for the Highway 73 project and to include the $158,000.00 in funds set aside for the Community Development program last year. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board set the second public hearing regarding the Community Development Block Grant application for 7:30 P.M. on Monday, May 19, 1986.
