RESOLUTION
OF THE
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TO AUTHORIZE A LAWSUIT TO RECOVER REIMBURSEMENT
AND
RECEIPT OF REVENUE DUE THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER BEING
ILLEGALLY WITHHELD BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
WHEREAS, the 641 towns, cities and counties of North Carolina have long depended on
tax revenues to which by law they are entitled upon collection by the Secretary of Revenue; and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly until now has historically held local governments
harmless by appropriated reimbursement when one or more local revenue sources is diminished
or eliminated; and
WHEREAS, local government revenues for FY 2001-2002 were withheld illegally for FY
2001-2002 by the Secretary of Revenue and it appears the Governor will order the Secretary to
withhold FY 2002-2003 local revenues due to be paid beginning September 15, 2002 and
otherwise; and
WHEREAS, no administrative remedy exists to correct the illegal conversion of the local
revenues and a genuine controversy exists about proper interpretation of the law as to ownership
of the local tax revenues, and enactment of the pending clarifying legislation favoring local
governments will likely not be enacted; and
WHEREAS, the General Court of Justice is the sole, proper and independent branch of
government to make a final legal determination of the rights of the respective parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of New
Hanover County, hereby authorizes its attorney to retain Boyce & Isley, PLLC, of Raleigh, North
Carolina at a cost not to exceed $1,000.00 with all other fees, costs and expenses of litigation, if
any, paid on a contingency basis not to exceed ten percent (10%) of any total monetary recovery
by settlement or judgment or as may be ordered by the Court. An exception to this retainer
agreement is if the North Carolina General Assembly should adopt legislation that will result in New
Hanover County receiving its reimbursements and revenues, no contingency will be paid to Boyce
& Isley, PLLC; this retainer agreement will be null and void; and New Hanover County will not
remain in the lawsuit. Outside counsel will agree to prosecute a civil action in Wake County
Superior Court to have declared the legal rights of local government to recover past tax revenues
and reimbursements withheld and to enjoin withholding of future tax revenues as above set forth.
Adopted this the 16th day of September, 2002.
