290 from B & W Construction Company of Concord, Inc., doing business as Bill Wensil & Sons Plumbing Company and a letter confirming that Dependable Insur- ance Company can issue a Performance and Payment Bond for the Jail project in an amount of $250,000.00 for B & W Construction Company. However, he stated that the company had not submitted the required bid deposit. The Board instructed the County Manager and County Attorney to work out the details regarding the Jail Plumbing contract and have it ready for award by the Board on February 15, 1988. The Board received a preliminary written report from Mr. Paul Watson, Engineer with HDR Infrastructure, Inc., in regards to the proposed Wastewater Treatment and Pretreatment Agreement with the City of Concord for the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. In his letter, Mr. Watson advised the Board that the City of Concord is the National Pollutant Discharge Elimi- nation System (NPDES) permit holder with the permit last renewed on June 10, 1987. Mr. Watson also pointed out that the Agreement as proposed by the City of Concord encompassed much more than just the the Pretreatment Program outlined in 40 CFR 403 of the Federal Regulations. He further stated that although the City as the NPDES permit holder is required to establish a pretreatment program that regulates the discharge of each Industrial user there are no requirements for interjurisdictional agreements. After lengthy discussion regarding this matter, Board members requested additional information concerning the establishment of a Regional Authority at its next Board meeting. Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting for ten minutes. Chairman Lentz reconvened the meeting of the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Hamby stated that he would like to change his vote on the Coddle Creek proposal to make approval of the proposal unanimous. Ail Board members approved the change in Commissioner Hamby's vote with the minutes to show unanimous approval of the Coddle Creek proposal by the Board. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, stated that he had been asked by Mr. Kenneth K. Kiser, Chairman of the Cabarrus County Board of Elections, to send a letter to the Attorney General's Office requesting an opinion concerning the responsibilities of the County in regards to the Board of Elections. He further stated that Mr. Kiser had questioned the appro- priateness of having a dual fee schedule for the voter registration lists run from the County's computer. Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, asked that Mr. Hartsell include in his letter to the Attorney General's Office a question on the validity of the claim by the Board of Elections that the voter registration computer file belongs to them and also a question regarding the responsibility of the Board of Elections in maintaining a permanent loose leaf voter registration file. He recommended that the County notify the Board of Elections that the County will no longer do any service of the election process. The Board by consensus agreed for the County Attorney to draft a letter to the Attorney General's Office in regards to the questions concerning the Cabarrus County Board of Elections.
