ADOPTION RESOI,UTION CONSENTING TO THE JOINDER OF LOWER CAPE FEAR WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY BY TFIE COUNTIES OF BLADEN. COLUI`iBUS AND r~ivli~R - inr. Michael C. Brown, Chairman of the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority, Mr. W. B. BeerS, III, Member, and Col. William K. Shaffer, Executive Director, were present. rtayor John C. Symmes of the City of Wilmington was also present. Mr. Michael Brown gave background on the Authority. The Authority started with the backing and support of the Board of Commissioners of New Hanover County and the City of Idilmington. Immediately after it was started it was recognized that the problem was not just local but an area problem involving several counties. This was discussed with the County Commissioners and the City Council and with their permission the Authority proceeded along the course of a regional Authority rather than local Authority. The Boards of County Commissioners 6f Region "0" were contacted, and in addition Bladen County, which would be the source of any water supply, and the Authority received their wholehearted support. The~~ have been interestei3 in the project £rom the outset recognizing that what is good for one County in Southe~stern North Carolina is good for all of them. There were certain legal technicalities that had to be observed, certain requirements for hearings, as happened in New Hanover County, and the pro- cedure has been Sollowed as outlined in Section 'I62?_ of the North Carolina General Statutes. Over the months this work has been ~oing on and this past Mond.ay the Boards of County Commissioners of Bladen, Columbus and Pender Counties held hearings and passed resolutions requesting admission to the Zower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority. Those documents vrere signed last Monday in the various County offices. Col. Shaffer and Mr. Brown attended all three meetirigs. The next order of business was £or the old Authority, as originally appointed three member.s by the County and three members by the Cit~, to take action and reconmend to the City Council and County Commissioners that these counties be accepted in the Authorit3= to prop~rl.y constitute the Authority. On Tuesday a meeting of the old. members of the Authority met and passed such a resolution to recommend to the County Commissioners this afternoon these members be accepted. The City Council this morning acted on it favorably, and this step this afternoon iaill finalize the organization of the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority enabling it to process grants £rom Economic Development Administrations, Farmers Home Administration, Housing and Urban Development Administration, Coastal Plains, and the State of North Carolina for money grants to apply toward this multimillion dollar project. The remaind.er of monies will be raised through revenue bond's at no cost tb the taxpayer. The cost of those bonds and the amorti- zation of those bonds will be done throu~h those people who contract to buy water from the pipe line, so the ac'tion the Commissioners take today, hopefully favorable, will put us in the legal amenity with all o£ the various powers enumerated to carry it throvgh to a success- ful conclusion. Col. Shaffer stated the entering of the names o£ those present and members of the various counties will be entered by the Clerk to the Board. Col. Shaffer pointed out there are now only two members appointed by the City and two bp the Commissioners. Mr. Harriss pointed out the representation acceptable on this type of regional Authority is by population, and formula is one representative for each 20,000 persons or major fraction thereof. Therefore, Wilming- ton and New Hanover County are entitled to a total of four, Columbus County 2, Bladen County 'I, and Pender County `I. Mr. Brown stated the gentlemen appointed £rom the Counties, as well as the various Boards oP Commissioners, are enthusiastic about the project. ~~~ MINUTES OF ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING, NOVEMBER 22, ~972 - S~OO P.M. (CONTINi3ED) ADOPTION RESOLUTION CONSENTING TO THE JOINDER OF LOIi~ER CAPE FEAR WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY BY THE COUNTIES OF BLADINr COLUMBUS AND PENDER (CONTINUED~- ' Mr. Harriss stated, the County is in dire need of water; the water surrounding us is not good enough, and it will have to be brought from a source that wi11 guarantee portable and usable water at all times which means building a pipe line to transport it. The same is true of the other entities involved in it. The City of Wilmington Water Works has a maximum capacity at present of about '14 million gallons daily, but one industry has indicated to us that they want at least '10 million gallons. Others have indicated Similar'~n~ed's~and industrial needs £or water will more than exceed the needs of the City of Wilmin~ton, plus the fact the beaches and suburban areas in the County have got to havevater. We must bring it here, treat it and provide it where it is needed. This is the end result of a lot of hard work on the part of Mr. Brown, Co1 5haffer, Mr. Beery (who has furnished his own air- plane at no cost to the Authority) and other members of the Authority as well. They are certainly to be commended by the citizens of this County and the other counties concerned because thes have done all the work, and now it enables them to step into a proposition that is well underway. Mr. Beery pointed out importance of vehicle that is written and how useful it will be in the £uture toward getting grants, etc. Mr. Oxenfeld introduced the following resolution: "REBOLUTION CONSENTING TO THE JOINDER OF IAWER CAPE FEAR WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY BY TF~ COUNTIES OF BLADEN, COLUMBUS AND r~;ivliER. ~"WHEREAS, the City of Wilmington and the County of New Hanover have heretofore created an authority pursuant to the North Carolina Water and Sewer Authorities Act (Chapter '162A of the General Statutes of North Carolina, as amended), such Authority being named "I,ower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authorit9"; and "WHEREAS, the Boards o£ Commissioners for each o£ the Counties of Bladen, Columbus and Pender have each signified their desire to join the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority by resolution adopted after a public hearing thereon, notice of which was duly given; and "WE~REAS, the Board of Commissioners~has determined that it is in the best interests of New Hanover County for the.Counties of Bladen, Columbus and Pender to join the I,ower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority; now, therefore, that: "BE IT RESOLVED by':the Board o£ Commissioners for the County of New Hanover "Section 'I.

Mr. Brown spoke on behalf of the members of the I,ower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority and also in a sense for the citizens of the four counties that they do express sincere appre- ciation to the County Commissioners and the City for their support of this project because without their £inancial help and personal backing and enthusiasm they would never have gotten off of the ground. The citizenry owe the City Council and County Commissioners a debt of gratitude to bring it to this point. It is now in a position to carry on. Mr. Brown suggested some appreciation from the governing boards be sent to the two members dropped by the Autho- rity due to membership being based on population.
