Chairman Jesse Alphin called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Commissioner Bill Shaw led the morning prayer. The minutes from the Harnett County Board of Commissioners' meeting of April 19, 1982, were approved as read. Ernest Wester appeared before the Board to discuss some concern he had about Harnett County selling 1.5 million gallons of water to Wake County. He also said he had learned a great deal about this matter and that if the citizens would have a little patience, thing will look better in the future. Chairman Alphin addressed the group and stated that the County is extremely interested in selling water to Wake County and that this project is not dead but just dormant. Edward H. McCormick, County Attorney, explained the situation in some detail to the group and said there had been a question concerning the price Harnett County was asking for the sale of the water. He stated that Harnett County is not asking too much for the water. The price was to sell water to Wake County in'a bulk rate basis at the same price that the County sells water to Angier, Coats, Lillington, and the citizens of the County. Mr. McCormick said that the water project is not being held up because Harnett County is asking too much but because Wake County felt that other potential sources of water would be more expedient than obtaining water from Harnett County at that time. Wake County did state that they might be interested at a later time. Rodney Tart, Director, Northeast Metropolitan Water District, stated that the water plant had ample space to take care of this job and he did not foresee any problems concerning this matter.
