i McDOWIELL COUNTY P.O.. BOX 1350• MARION.NORTH CAROLINA 28752 • PHONE(704) 652-7121 August 30, 1977 :Board of County Commissioners Orange County Gentlemen: This is in regard to the resolution, pertaining to HB 658, i.n-troduced to the annual conference of the .0 ul Association of County Comissioners in Charlotte by Commissioner 'Macon Johnson of Camden Colanty. The officers and directors of the association, sitting as a resolution coz1mittee voted 18 to 1 against adopting the resolution. In subsequent floor actions the 5 certified conference delegates voted 35 for the resolution, 28 opposed, and 22 abs wing. A copy of said reso ution is enclosed herewith. As a member of the committee i strongly opposed the resolution as other members did, primatily because we felt that the associ.at: should have no part in telling our legislators that they had made a mistake. Certainly, at this tune, no one has any way of knowing whether or not the General Assembly has made a mistake. BB 658 does have a sunset provision -- that the legislature will watch closely to see how the law works, and that the legislature does not have to gait three years for the sunset provision if it feels changes are necessary before then. if we are to involve ourselves at all, i should be after some evidence that the law is not working or is harmful 'to the publ'c. T respectfully urge your board to vote agadmat the resolution in order that a good relationship may be maintained with the General Assembly._ Sincerely, - �� e '. `- F Rich dsan PR/dh BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER ; Paul Richardson,Chairman/Guy L Hensley,Vice Chairman!George Ellis.M D ;Mrs Jane Greenlee!Hawley 1N.Hicks COUNTY ATTORNEY: Robert C Hunter—(704)652-2844 COUNTY MANAGER: 1 ack H Harmon COUNTY ACCOUN'CAN i: )udy A Wright
