48 When a holiday other than Christmas Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the County shall observe the same day as the State of North Carolina observes for the holiday in question. If a holiday as designated by the County Personnel Ordinance falls on a day other than Monday and is designated nationally to be observed on a Monday, then the County policy is amended to observe that holiday on a Monday. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter and unanimously carried, the Board added to the agenda a presentation by Mr. Larry Cole from the Poplar Tent Community Association. Mr. Larry Cole, Chairman of the Poplar Tent Community Association, reviewed a proposed bill to be entitled "An Act to Incorporate the Town of Poplar Tent, Subject to a Referendum". He indicated the area proposed for incorporation met the density requirements and that a majority of persons surveyed in that area supported the incorporation effort and a recommended tax of 15 cents per $100 valuation to fund services relating to planning and zoning, water and sewer, garbage collection, increased police protection, and street lights. Mr. Cole further stated that the airport was not an issue as it was protected in the bill for incorporation and that there was no problem with the proximity of the area to the cities of Concord and Kannapolis. In conclusion, Mr. Cole asked that the Board send a letter to the County's legislative delegation stating that the Board does not object to letting the people vote on the incorporation bill. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Chairman to send a letter to the County's legislative delegation stating that the Board of Commissioners does not oppose the introduction of the bill entitled "An Act to Incorporate the Town of Poplar Tent, Subject to a Referendum" for the incorporation of the area known as Poplar Tent. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board amended the previously adopted Personnel Ordinance amendment relative to the holiday schedule and set an effective date of January 1, 1992 for the new holiday schedule. Commissioner Barnhart and Mr. Hartsell reviewed the draft of the recall legislation. Items discussed by the Board included the banning of a recall during the first six months and last three months of office for the Board of Commissioners, the posting of a $500.00 deposit to be returned upon validation of petitions by the Board of Elections, a 60-day time frame to complete the petitions, and a provision to allow for the appointment of members until a special election can be held to fill a vacancy. Also, Mr. Hartsell suggested that if the legislation is expanded to include other elected officials that the proposed draft be forwarded to those officials for their review. The matter will be brought back to the Board for further discussion at a later date. REPORTS The following budget amendment as approved by the County Manager was included on the agenda.
