Commissioner Gordon asked for the sake of clarity to have the maps in color instead of black and white. Commissioner Yuhasz asked for confirmation that the ability to tax within that district would not preclude the use of general fund revenues for improvements in that area and that the Board would have the opportunity to determine the amount of revenue available within the district by setting the tax rate. Frank Clifton said yes. Commissioner Yuhasz asked about the criteria that would be used to create these different districts and Frank Clifton said that the land use ordinance would be used. He said that the key to the whole scenario is to provide the opportunity to put utilities in the economic development districts. Commissioner Yuhasz asked if people that own residential properties in these general areas should expect to be impacted by a potential district tax. Frank Clifton said that people who currently live within those areas could expect to be part of the districts. A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to: 1. Authorize staff to move forward with the creation of an Efland/Buckhorn/Mebane water and sewer district map and other materials needed for a public hearing; 2. Authorize staff to research the creation of other utility districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and 3. Authorize staff to bring forward utility service agreements with host utility authorities. Frank Clifton said that his caution to the Board would be that if the County Commissioners do not want to make the commitment to economic development, then this should not be approved. Commissioner Jacobs said that he hopes that when this goes to public hearing, that this intent is made public that the County Commissioners are committed to economic development.
