The Consortium, which consists of the seven counties of Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and Union in North Carolina and the York County in South Carolina, has focused its attention on working together to identify the many issues of the disease as they impact the people of the region.

Mr. John Lentz, Health Board Chairman, and Mr. Bob Farris, Environmental Health Supervisor, addressed the need for the placement of a modular unit at the Health Department to house the Environmental Health Section. Mr. Lentz stated in his opinion an emergency situation existed at the Health Department as there was no office space available for a physician who would begin work on October 1.

The purchase price of a new unit from Roger Carter Corporation was quoted at $21,000.00. Dr. William F.
