The historic boundary line forming Alamance County from Orange <br />County was described and surveyed in 1849. In the subsequent 160 years, this line became <br />uncertain, resulting in unintentional modifications to the boundary line affecting taxation, <br />school attendance, zoning maps, and elections within and among Alamance County, Orange <br />County, and the Town of Mebane, North Carolina. Pursuant to G.S. 153A-18, entitled <br />"Uncertain or Disputed Boundary," both county commissions passed resolutions (Alamance <br />County, December 17, 2007, and Orange County, January 18, 2008) to request that North <br />Carolina Geodetic Survey (NCGS) perform a preliminary resurvey_and present a proposed map <br />for consideration by both counties. <br />SECTION 2. The Alamance County Board of Commissioners agreed by vote on <br />Apri121, 2008, and Orange County on May 20, 2008, to approve authorizing NCGS to conduct <br />the preliminary survey and the placing of monuments by NCGS consistent with their research <br />to form a boundary baseline. On July 8, 2010, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted <br />S.L. 2010-61, which enabled Alamance County and Orange County to transition properties <br />between the two counties for the purpose of recommending to the North Carolina General <br />Assembly a mutually agreed upon boundary line between the two counties. <br />SECTION 3. Section 3 of S.L. 2010-61 reads as rewritten: <br />"SECTION 3. In the 160 years since the initial survey of the Alamance County/Orange <br />County boundary line, Alamance and Orange Counties have entered into multiple taxing <br />agreements that have resulted in properties being taxed in one county by the adjoining county. <br />Other situations have arisen in which children of one county attend school in the adjoining <br />county and voters in one county have voted in the adjoining county. The General Assembly <br />recognizes the difficulties in addressing these issues and authorizes .Alamance County and <br />Orange County to maintain the current taxing, elections, education, and any other recognized <br />government functions in place until July 1, 284 2012." <br />SECTION 4. Section 4 of S.L. 2010-61 reads as rewritten: <br />"SECTION 4.(a) on--~.n'}d- fl' T~t17 '~~ni i ..ii a a„ o.,~~ ..a .,~±..,,~,~ <br />RITG~-T , LCT , ...~' ~ <br />Except as otherwise provided in this act on and after January 1 2012 all pavers documents, . <br />i10101119lI <br />
