VP (SEAL) THE GREATER CABARRUS COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION by: /s/ Michael R. Coltrane President PARTY OF THE SECOND PART This instrument has been preaudited in the manner required by the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Act. By: /s/ Blair Bennett County Finance Officer Date: 8/18/86 UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhardt, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board appointed Commissioner Payne as the represen- tative of the Board of Commissioners to The Greater Cabarrus County Economic Development Corporation. Commissioner Payne reported that he and Commissioner Barnhardt had met recently with the Harrisburg Town Council to request permission for the County to tap onto the Town's sewer line at Robinson Church Road. He explained that this tap would provide sewer service to a new subdivision located outside the Town of Harrisburg and would enable the County to get more homes on the County's interceptor sewer line from Harrisburg to the treatment plan. Commissioner Payne further stated that that the Harrisburg Town Council had granted approval for the one tap with the stipulation that the County maintain the Harrisburg line for approximately 2,000 feet from the tap to the point it connects to the County line. During the discussion, Commissioner Barnhardt proposed that the County and the Town of Harrisburg enter into an agreement whereby the County would be responsible for main- taining the Harrisburg line up to the railroad tracks and all future taps to this line would be coordinated between the County Engineer and the Town of Harrisburg. Two representatives of the Town of Harrisburg were present for the meeting and participated in the lengthy discussion regarding the pro- posed taps to the Harrisburg sewer line. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt and unanimously carried, the Board moved to agree in principle subject to the execution of a formal agreement between the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners and the Harrisburg Town Council that the County will tap the Harrisburg sewer line at Robinson Church Road and in return the County will maintain the line from that point 2,000 feet ± down to where it ties onto the County line. The tap to the Harrisburg line will be metered and charges deducted from the County's monthly bill to Harrisburg. The Board instructed the County Attorney to draft an agreement whereby the County would take over the maintenance of the Harrisburg line up to the railroad tracks. Mr. William L. Mills, III, Attorney for the First Baptist Church of Concord, presented the church's request for the refund and waiver of taxes on its property located on Branchview Drive, Township 12, Map 61, Parcel 14, for the tax years 1983, 1984. and 1985. He explained that the property had been exempt from taxes in the early 1970's but had been added to the tax scrolls at the time of the last revaluation. Mr. Mills reviewed the chrono- logical order of events regarding the property from time of purchase in the early 1970's to the first formal worship service in the completed facility on July 7, 1985. He argued that the Branchview site had met the exemption requirements of North Carolina General Statute 105-278.3 as interpreted by the North Carolina Supreme Court in the case of Harrison v. Guilford County. According to Mr. Mills, the Branchview site was at all times reasonably necessary for the convenient use of the church's Spring Street facility in the furtherance of its long range plans and was at all times exclusively used for religious purposes.
