These inspections are required of <br /> local governments under Section 107 of the North Carolina State Fire <br /> Prevention Code. <br /> At the June 7, 1993 meeting, the Board approved the Town' s request, <br /> with details to be worked out in a contract to be considered by the <br /> Board at a future meeting. County and Town staff have developed a <br /> proposed agreement for review by the two governing bodies. The <br /> County will be fully reimbursed by the Town for the costs of the <br /> inspection program. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br /> agreement with the Town of Hillsborough, and authorize the Chair to <br /> sign. <br />
