Sharp, Jr., Executive Director'''' '''---'', <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />April 25, 2006 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />2006 Clean Water Bond Resolution <br /> <br />The Rural Center has completed the Water 2030 Study which identified the longer-term water, <br />wastewater and storm water needs for the State of North Carolina. At our April Board of Delegates <br />meeting, Bill McNeil presented a summary of the recommendations relevant for Region F. The strategy is <br />to ask cities, counties and regional councils to endorse a $1 billion dollar bond referendum to replenish <br />the Clean Water Trust Fund. A series of meeting were held around the state to discuss the idea and engage <br />the state, local and business leaders. <br /> <br />Enclosed is a draft Resolution for your jurisdiction's consideration. We are anticipating that Senator Kerr <br />to introduce a version of the Clean Water Bill for the Senate and Representative Owens will introduce a <br />similar bill in the House. <br /> <br />Weare encouraging our local jurisdictions to adopt a resolution. Please return a copy of any adopted <br />resolution to Centralina by May 12. We would like to have the Resolutions from the region to send to <br />Raleigh on that date. We will also keep the Rural Center informed. <br /> <br />Hilda Keeney has sent an electronic copy of the Resolution to your clerk or manager. It is important for <br />local governments to have this legislation adopted by the General Assembly this session. <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />Cc: Manager <br />Clerk <br /> <br />.
