Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Chair Willhoit to adopt the resolution asking for the enabling legislation for impact fees. VOTE: AYES, 2; NOES, 2 (Commissioners Lloyd and Walker) c. Fire District Boundaries Ken Thompson explained this request for special legislation would give authority to the Board of Commissioners to make a change in a particular fire district line between South Orange and the White Cross district. A petition has been received from 39 persons who are asking to be annexed into the South Orange district. The White Cross district has not allowed this to happen. Motion was made by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Marshall to request the Legislative Delegation to pass a local Act to General Statue 69-25. 11 to allow the Orange County Board of Commissioners to change these fire district lines. Commissioner Marshall noted that since there is a controversy that further meetings may produce the same result the legislation would provide and further negotiations should be attempted. After further discussion, the motion was withdrawn.
