547 During review of the proposed resolution, the Board discussed the appointment of members to the Authority, the terminology of the proposed resolution, and past efforts to establish an Authority. Mr. John R. Boger, Jr., County Attorney, advised the Board that the proposed Cabarrus Authority for Water and Sewer would have no statutory authority and would serve only as an advisory group to the Board of Commissioners. He stated that in order for the Authority to have any statutory authority it would have to be formed by two or more local governments or the North Carolina General Assembly would have to enact legislation to allow the formation of an Authority by a county. Mr. Bill Bonny objected to the appointment of the proposed Authority to serve only as an advisory group and urged the Board to explore the possibility of the County establishing an Authority with a municipality in the county.

The Board reviewed the recommendation from Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, that the Board rescind the Sidestown/Shankletown sewer front footage charge of $3.50 as the sewer collection system in that area was financed by a Community Development Grant. This charge was adopted in a Lease Agreement between Cabarrus County and the Board of Light and Water Commissioners of the City of Concord in May, 1983.
