The Harnett County Board of Commissioners met in special session on Tuesday,

Lloyd G. Stewart, Rudy Collins, and Chairman Jesse Alphin presiding.
Bob Jones, representing the County Attorney's Office; Elaine Stewart,
Assistant Clerk to the Board; and Hollie J. Wade, Recording Secretary, were

Chairman Jesse Alphin called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m.
Commissioner Collins led the evening prayer.
The minutes from the Harnett County Board of Commissioners meeting of October
7, 1985, were approved as read.
M. H. Brock, County Manager, reported to the Board that the date of the
surplus sale was originally planned for October 26, 1985, but there was
a conflict with this date. Commissioner Brock made a motion that the
resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners on October 7, 1985, setting
the date of the sale as October 26, 1985, be amended authorizing the
County Manager to hold the sale on the County's surplus property on
November 2, 1985, at 10:00 a.m.; Commissioner Collins seconded the motion
and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Rodney Tart, Director of the County's Public Utilities Department, appeared
before the Board and requested authorization for Metro to purchase a five
acre tract of land owned by the Wombles for $17,000. He explained that
this land is located beside the Metro Plant and would serve as a buffer for
the plant and is also needed for any future development of this facility.
The current System is presently utilizing all its space; and with the
continued development of the County's water and sewer system, there may be
a need in the future to expand its operations in order to provide the
required services. Mr. Tart also stated that there is a smaller tract in
front of the Plant which the Metro Board is also interested in buying which
would serve as a buffer. Charlie Sykes, Chairman of the Metro Board, and
Frank Myatt, Member of the Metro Board, appeared before the Commissioners
and reiterated the need to purchase this property. They informed the
Commissioners that the Metro Board has acted in favor of this acquisition
of land; and stated that it is their request that the Commissioners allow
them to purchase this property with Metro funds. Following a discussion,
Commissioner Brock made a motion that Mr. Tart and the County Manager be
allowed to execute a sixty day option with the developers for the
acquisition of both tracts of land; Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion
and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Margaret Randall, appeared before the Board and stated that at the
Commissioners meeting of September 16, 1985, she requested authority from
the Board to advertise for bids for the purchase of a new bookmobile. At
that meeting, it was the decision of the Board to table any action until they
had an opportunity to receive input from the citizens of the County concerning
this purchase. Following Ms. Randall's comments, the Board opened the
meeting for input from those present concerning this matter. Several persons
appeared before the Board speaking in support of the purchase of a new
bookmobile. Each of the Commissioners reported on the number of calls they
had received from the citizens concerning this issue and the majority of the
citizens who contacted them were in favor of purchasing a new vehicle. Also
a petition had been circulated and one -to -two hundred persons had signed the
document in support of this purchase. Following a discussion, Commissioner
Collins made a motion that the Library Board be allowed to advertise and
accept bids for a new bookmobile, but not commit itself to buy the vehicle;
and report the results of the bid opening back to the Commissioners; Commis-
sioner Brock seconded the motion and it passed with a unanimous vote.
A copy of the expenditure report for the period ending September 30, 1985,
was filed with the Board.
Trula Wagstaff, President of the County's YDC, appeared before the Board
and invited the Commissioners to attend the State platform YDC convention
to be held at Howard Johnsons in Dunn on Saturday, which would be the
first time this convention would have been held in Harnett County. The
Board thanked Ms. Wagstaff for this invitation, and commended her and the
County's young Democrats for attracting this convention to Harnett County.
Ervin Dobson, Director of Planning, appeared before the Board and presented
for the Board's consideration recommended changes to the County's proposed
mobile home ordinance. Mr. Dobson requested guidance from the Boardconcernin
three issues - -1) size of the lots, 2) street standards, and 3) recreational
stipulations. Following a discussion, it was the decision of the Board for
the lot sizes to be the same size as in our subdivision regulations, for the
648
section on the recreational,; requirements to remain as proposed; and
for the streets to meet the state standards.. with the interior streets
having a right-of-way of 50 feet. The Board then instructed Mr. Dobson
to insert these revisions in theproposed mobile home ordinance andbring
