Box 664 ~oncord, N. C. 28025 Dear Mr. James W. Lentz: As you may know, the 1986 session of the North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation (attached) appropmiating $990.000 to Councils of Government (and Lead Regional Organizations) to assist local governments in certain designated activities. The funds were placed in the budget of the state Department of Natural Resources and Community Development (NRCD) foF distribution to the COGs. In order for the C0Gs to receive the fuuds~ it will be necessary for the governing hoard of each town and county to pass a resolution requesting its share. An allocation is available to the-COG for each .active town.~ regardless of its membership in the COG. The purpose of this letter is to acquaint ~ou with the law and the procedures which will be used to implement it. Each COG ia eligible for a maximum of $55,000, based on population formulas which calculate n share for each county and for each town under 50,000 population (smaller city). The formula for counties is: the county's population less lar~er cities' population COG's population less larger cities' population plus smaller cities' population plus 1985 population of incorporations since 1980 Based on population of 86,468, the share Of your town is $ 5,031.58. Federal 1980 census figures were used to determine population of units, except that official current (1985) estimates of the Demographic Section of this office has been desJgnat~d the state census agency by the United States Ce~sus Bureau) have been used for towns incorporated since the 1980 census. The share of any unit which does not submit an appropriate resolution to this office by June ~0, 1987 will revert to the state's general fund and not be available to the COG. It is important to note that the checks will be payable di~-e~-,]y to the COC, s and they will be responsible for expenditure o~ the rands as sp~- .r~ed in the act.
