Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, explained that the North Carolina General Statutes permit a board of county commissioners to meet in another county in connection with another public body. However, in order to clear up any question regarding the action taken by the Board during that recessed meeting, he recommended that the Board ratify its action of December 11 to send a letter to Mayor Bernie Edwards relative to the airport. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart with Chairman Simmons and Commissioners Barnhart and Payne voting for and Commissioner Hamby voting against, the Board ratified the letter dated December 11, 1990 to Mayor Bernie A. Edwards and signed by Chairman Simmons. The letter is recorded in the minutes of the December 11, 1990 meeting. Chairman Simmons requested that the Board review the Suggested Rules of Procedure for Boards of County Commissioners and note any rules with which they have a problem. Those rules will be compiled and discussed by the Board during January. Chairman Simmons announced that Judge James C. Davis had issued a Temporary Restraining Order relative to the airport. This Order had been issued upon a Complaint and Motion filed by the City of Concord. Chairman Simmons recessed the meeting for five minutes and reconvened the meeting in the Commissioners' Conference Room.
