Annex E: Municipal Mitigation Plan I. Purpose. To provide information on municipal hazard mitigation planning II. Situations and Assumptions. A. 1 he six municipalities within Cabarrus County are required by the State of North Carolina to submit a hazard mitigation plan. The City of Concord and the City of Kannapolis have chosen to submit separate plans and those plans are not included in this annex. The Town of Locust is included in Stanly County's Hazard Mitigation Plan. B. The towns of Mount Pleasant, Harrisburg, and Midland are included in the county plan, as these towns rely on Cabarrus County Government for emergency management, law enforcement, emergency medical service and municipal planning support. C. The municipalities of Mount Pleasant, Harrisburg, and Midland are local government bodies each with a City Council -Mayor form of government. The city council is the decision - making body for each of these municipalities. An appointed municipal Planning and Zoning Board or Commission serves as an advisory body to the council on planning matters. Each of these municipalities has a small staff to carry out day -to -day administrative activities. Cabarrus County Government supports these three municipalities by providing services from the county's staff departments to provide services and conduct operations that the municipalities are not organized to perform. This is done through contracts between the county and the municipalities. These municipalities have some planning, zoning or emergency management capabilities and the Cabarrus County Commerce Department and Emergency Management Department provide the additional support required, based on input from those local governments. III. Concept A. The towns of Mount Pleasant, Harrisburg, and Midland have adopted the Unified Development Ordnance, the county ordinances on flood damage prevention, building and building inspection, manufactured homes and trailers, and subdivisions.
