UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following resolution. As we have been having a number of contract discussions with the Town of Harrisburg over rights and responsibilities under contracts now existing, I would like to make a motion that we authorize the attorney for the Board to initiate an action for declaratory judgment in order that we may ask the local courts to determine each party's rights and responsi- bilities under these contracts and that the parties in Harrisburg be notified that this action is not actually a suit against them but merely an action to clarify our status and their status in regard to those contracts. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the minutes of August 3, 1987, were approved as corrected.
