Section 6. Effective Date This Joint Resolution shall be effective as of July 1, 2012. Commissioner White expressed concern with Section 3, Governance, noting that as the resolution is currently drafted, it is possible for the make -up of the Governing Board to become one -sided in the future, as a number of the membership could be employed by the same provider /entity /industry. Chairman Poole questioned the "Commissioner" appointments and noted the possibility also exists for this group to become one - sided, not knowing who the other participating counties are appointing and their background, unless information is shared in advance. Ms. Yon advised the Board's feedback would be shared and noted the merger deadline of July 1. Following discussion, there was a general consensus of the Board to place this item on New Business. County Manager - Request from Odell VFD for Dry Hydrant On behalf of the Odell Volunteer Fire Department (VFD), Jonathan Marshall, Deputy County Manager, presented the following information: The Odell Volunteer Fire Department has requested permission to install a dry hydrant on Lake Howell off NC 3. This hydrant would permit Odell VFD to use lake water in the event of an emergency and they feel that will positively affect their insurance rating. The location is on County owned property and Odell has provided a basic agreement, but since WSACC (Water & Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County) maintains and operates the Lake for the County, a 3 -party agreement would be more appropriate. Jody Johnson, Odell VFD Representative, identified other dry hydrants and water tanks in the district and advised the additional water source would close the gap in that area and possibly lower insurance ratings. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Johnson and Richard Koch, County Attorney, responded to a variety of questions from the Board. CCS - QSCB Funding Reallocation Request - $801,483.00
