Honorable James W. Lentz <br /> Honorable Bernie A. Edwards <br /> Honorable Don Helms <br /> Hoho~able Bachman S. Brown, Jr. <br /> Honorable W..Ralph Austin <br /> July 21, 1989 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> Subject to the approval of the governing boards of each <br /> municipality and the County, the Board suggests and recommends <br /> the establishment of a Water and Sewer Authority under Chapter <br /> 162A of the General Statutes of North Carolina, the function of <br /> which would be, at least, to provide sewage treatment for the <br /> organizing units by undertaking the maintenance of appropriate <br /> outfalls and the operation of the Rocky River Wastetreatment <br /> Facility, together with such additional wholesale functions as <br /> the organizing governmental units may designate. (To undertake <br /> the responsibility of the plant's operation necessarily requires <br /> the approval of the City of Concord.) The Utilities Board also <br /> recommends that such an authority be governed by a seven (7) <br /> member board composed of one (1) member named by the governing <br /> board of each municipality (Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis and <br /> Mt. Pleasant), one (1) member, named by the County, and~WO, (2) <br /> additional members selected by the five (5) organizing unit <br /> appointees. <br /> <br /> Before the Utilities Board can proceed to formulate any <br />additional details for such an authority, it requests and would <br />appreciate receipt of a statement from your governing board <br />regarding whether your governing board supports the concept of an <br />authority as outlined above and the proposed make-up of the <br />Authority's board. <br /> <br /> The Utilities Board recognizes that there may be many <br />questions that you or your board members have concerning <br />additional details about the establishment and/or operation of <br />such an authority. The Board both solicits and appreciates your <br />comments and ideas in this regard; however, it must first receive <br />your board's reaction to the current proposal set forth above in <br />order to know whether, and in what manner, to proceed. The next <br />meeting of the Utilities Board is Thursday, August 17, 1989, at <br />7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Cabarrus County Utilities <br />Department on Highway 73, West, in Concord. Receipt of your <br /> <br /> <br />
