He praised Mrs. Margaret Moses and Mrs. Sue Casper for <br />their volunteer work in implementing locally some of the programs of Keep <br />North Carolina Clean and Beautiful. Current programs supported by Keep <br />Cabarrus Clean and Beautiful include the Department of Transportation's <br />Adopt-A-Highway Program and the County's recycling program at the Landfill. <br />In conclusion, Mr. Young requested that the Board appropriate $3,000.00 to <br />the organization for the period January 1, 1989 to June 30, 1989, to be used <br />to hire a part-time coordinator and to begin promotional and educational <br />efforts. <br /> Mrs. Margaret Moses also spoke in support of Keep Cabarrus Clean and <br />Beautiful, Inc. <br /> The motion by Commissioner Payne to grant the $3,000.00 to Keep <br />Cabarrus Clean and Beautiful, Inc., beginning January 1, 1989, under the <br />same provisions as other contracted services failed for lack of second. <br /> By consensus of the Board, Chairman Lentz asked Mr. Fletcher L. <br />Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, to prepare a contract for services between <br />Cabarrus County and Keep Cabarrus Clean and Beautiful, Inc. This contract <br />along with information regarding the current amount of the Contingency Fund <br />will be considered by the Board on December 5, 1988. <br /> Chairman Lentz announced that the meeting scheduled for 3:00 P.M. on <br />Monday, December 5, 1988, would be held at 9:30 A. M. on that date. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and <br />unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session to <br />discuss possible land acquisition. <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and <br />unanimously carried, the Executive Session was terminated. <br /> Chairman Lentz reported that the Board had discussed possible land <br />acquisition and that no action was taken. <br /> Chairman Lentz stated that the application for Federal Land and Water <br />Conservation Funding to develop a recreational facility at the Coddle Creek <br />Reservoir had been delayed until next year. <br /> Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting at 5:25 P.M. until the conclusion <br />of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Water and Sewer <br />District of Cabarrus County. <br /> The meeting was reconvened at 5:30 P.M. <br /> Chairman Lentz outlined the decision to be made by the Board regarding <br />the establishment of an airport at the Poplar Tent site or the development <br />of the Kings Grant project. He explained that the State and the original <br />developer of the Kings Grant project had agreed to share the cost of <br />constructing an interchange at Interstate 85 to serve that area. The <br />current developers, CSD & Associates, Inc., have indicated that they will <br />neither develop the Kings Grant project nor participate in the cost of the <br />interchange if the County proceeds with plans to construct an airport at <br />the Poplar Tent site. However, according to Chairman Lentz, the State may <br />refuse to share in the cost of the interchange if the airport is not built <br />at the Poplar Tent site. In conclusion, Chairman Lentz stated the Board <br />would continue to work toward a solution to this situation. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman <br />Lentz recessed the meeting until 9:30 A.M. on Monday, December 5, 1988. <br /> <br />Clerk to the Board <br /> <br /> <br />
