March 10, 2008 (Work Session) Page 741 areas, residents will need to pay tap fees to connect to the water and sewer lines. We will be holding two community forums next month to help answer your questions about the process. The meetings will be at 6 pm on March 18th and 25th. Both forums will be held at Kannapolis Public Works Operation Center at 1401 Bethpage Road. We hope that you will be able to attend one of these meetings. After the forums, the City will hire a private firm to conduct surveys of all residents of the Fishertown Community. If 70 percent agree to pay tap fees for the lines, then we annex the community and provide the utility services. If you have any questions in the interim, please feel free to call X. Sincerely yours, Ms. Sifford responded to several questions from the Board. Mike Downs, Deputy County Manager, reported the County asked Kannapolis to investigate this project as part of the TIF process. He said Kannapolis cannot find any grants to help pay for services and has two options: (1) annex the community and provide the utilities or (2) leave the situation at status quo. As an alternative, he said Kannapolis is asking the County to participate in the funding or take the project on ourselves. There was a general discussion on whether or not to participate in the letter and the project itself. Ms. Sifford pointed out that she has been approached by another community with utility issues and whatever decision the Board reaches may set a precedent. Further discussion was held. By consensus, the Board of Commissioners agreed not to participate in the aforementioned letter. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Mynatt and unanimously carried, the Board voted to place the Fishertown Otilities Plan on the March 24, 2008 Agenda as a New Business item.
