2 Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, advised the Board that it would be cost effective to run a water line through that area. However, he explained that the community was not in the Water and Sewer District of Cabarrus County and that there were no provisions in the General Statutes under which the Water and Sewer District was established to allow for the expansion, reduction, or dissolution of the district. He reported that officials of the Institute of Government had recommended that the Board of Commissioners ask the legislators to introduce a bill in the General Assembly which would add the necessary provisions to the General Statutes. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Milloway, seconded by Commissioner Nash and unanimously carried, the Board directed that a letter be written to the local legislators and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners asking them to lobby for an amendment to the General Statutes that would include provisions for annexing areas to a county water and sewer district and for dissolving such a district. The Board requested Mr. John R. Boger, Jr., County Attorney, to draw up the necessary amendments. Chairman Lentz thanked Mr. Stallings for his work in presenting the request for water in the Central Heights Drive area and assured him that the Board would consider this proposal.
