171 Resolution Changing Regular Meeting Date from January 18 to January 19, 1993 UPON MOTION of Chairman Carpenter, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board by resolution changed the second regular meeting in January from 6:30 P.M. on Monday, January 18, to 6:30 P.M. on Tuesday, January 19, 1993, due to the Martin Luther King holiday. Financing Arrangements for Customers Unable to pay the Water/Sewer Connection Fee Mr. Henry Waldroup, Utilities Director, reviewed the proposal to provide financing arrangements for customers unable to pay the water/sewer connection fees. Verification of need would be established through the Department of Social Services, and a property owner must be receiving or qualify for public assistance or disability in order to qualify for the financing arrangements. The Board by consensus agreed that Commissioners Payne and Barnhart would work with the Utilities Department in determining the eligibility of persons seeking the financing arrangements for water/sewer connections. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Casper and unanimously carried, the Board instructed Commissioners Barnhart and Payne, Mr. Witherspoon, and Mr. Waldroup to draft guidelines to be used in determining eligibility for water and sewer financing arrangements for those persons who do not seek assistance from the Department of Social Services. These recommended guidelines are to be presented at the next Board meeting. Water and Sewer District Meeting Chairman Carpenter recessed the meeting at 7:45 P.M. until the conclusion of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners for the Water and Sewer District. Chairman Carpenter reconvened the meeting of the Board at 7:50 P.M. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Ambulance Placement Mr. Witherspoon asked the Board to be prepared at the meeting on January 15, 1993 to make a decision relative to the placement of ambulances in the county. Renovation of Concord Fire Station #5 (formerly the Pitts Volunteer Fire Department) has now been completed with designated areas for use by the County Emergency Services. Alternatives presented to the Board included the use of the ambulance currently stationed in Mt. Pleasant for back up and the placement of Quick Response Vehicles (QRV's) at both Mt. Pleasant and Fire Station #5. The Board requested additional information regarding the number of calls and responses from the current ambulance stations prior to January 15. Exchange of Real Property in the Coddle Creek Reservoir Project Area The Notices of Exchange of Real Property for the Rankin and Overcash properties were published on December 21, 1992. No objections to the proposed exchanges were received during the ten-day notice period. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the following exchanges of real property in the Coddle Creek Reservoir area: County to exchange a right-of-way approximately 45 feet in width across its property extending from Shimpock Road south to real property owned by F. A. Rankin, Jr., for ingress, egress and regress thereto, in the area of the Coddle Creek Reservoir. This right-of- way is valued at approximately $5,000.00 and will be exchanged for two rights-of-way/easements, each approximately twenty (20) feet in width, one extending westward from Rankin Road across Rankin to County property, and the second extending eastward from Windy Road across Rankin to county property. The two easements shall exist for a period of eight (8) years, and are of approximately equivalent value to the 45-foot right-of-way/easement previously described.
