March 29, 2008 (Regular Meeting) Page 750 Mr. Wightman also responded to questions from the Board. Thomas Smith, resident of 2397 Barr Road in Concord, stated he sent an email to the Board last week regarding the Monroe/Midland Gas Pipeline and thanked Chairman White and Vice Chairman Juba for their response. He reported residents are receiving offers to purchase right-of-ways by US Mail. He asked if it is legal for Midland to use condemnation since the Town already has natural gas service. He asked for the Board's assistance in testing the legality of the condemnation. Dewey Mesimer, resident 9680 Archer Road in Davidson, expressed opposition for the Monroe/Midland Gas Pipeline and for the amount of money being offered for the sight-of-ways. Jimmy Champion, resident of 10900 Sudbury Road in Davidson, questioned how Commissioners' addresses have to be listed and whether or not they have to be County residents. He reported Commissioner Privette's address is listed as 4720 Moorehead Road, Unit 901, which is a vacant field. Although there are condos at 4721 Moorehead Road, he said Unit 901 belonged to Mr. James Simmons. He asked if a typographical error had been made. He also said Commissioner Privette told citizens he would resign from the Commission when his house sold, but has not. During his family's travels across the eastern seaboard, he said his daughters have been embarrassed by comments made when they tell people where they are from. He said the healing process cannot begin until people stop talking about what happened. He said several years ago he testified before the General Assembly on Salvage Titles and Commissioner Privette asked him to do the "right thing" and now he is asking Commissioner Privette to do the "right thing". With there being no one else to address the Board, Chairman White closed that portion of the meeting. (E) OLD HUSINE83 None.
