Ruffin, County Manager, reported that the Board would be asked at its first meeting in November to determine if funds should be discontinued to those non-profit agencies that have not returned an executed contract for Fiscal Year 1990-1991. A second letter has been written to those agencies requesting the return of the executed contract. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mr. Bob Farris, Environmental Health Supervisor, reviewed the proposed Water Quality Management Program which had been presented to the Board in June, 1990. He recommended that the Board enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management similar to the one between Mecklenburg County and the Division of Environmental Management. Mr. Farris noted that the State will supply training and analyze the samples taken by the county; however, he stated that approximately $5,000.00 would be needed to purchase equipment to be used by the Environmental Health staff in conducting the program.
