RESOLUTION FROM ROCKINGHAM COUNTY REGARDING OPPOSITION TO H. 8. 1204: This resolution of
opposition to H. B. 1204 was discussed by the board. The County Attorney, Mr. William P. Pope, said
he had read the resolution and explained the Chapter 162A allows the creating of water and sewer
authorities and gives condemnation power. Before condemnation power is exercised, they have to
appear before the State's Water Conservation Board to get permission. This bill would eliminate the
requirement of appearing before this board and makes it easier to condemn property for water rights.
He said it appears that Rockingham County's concern is that Guilford is going to come up into
Rockingham County and condemn land and water rights and take water from Rockingham County. In
applying this to Iredell County, he said he did not have enough information about water courses in
Iredell to know if the County could be jeopardized in any way by some other county in taking water
out of one of the Iredell County streams. If so, then the board should oppose this HB 1204.
Commissioner Crosswhite said there is another county that is interest in acquiring some of
Iredell County's water. She said she thought the board should support Rockingham County's request,
as it would also be in line with what Iredell might need to have available later on.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to support Rockingham Caunty and adopt a resolution of
opposition to H. B. 1204, stated as follows:
RESOLUTION OF IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
IN OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL #1204
WHEREAS, THE Board of Commissioners of Iredell County has received information as to the
introduction of HB 1204 in the General Assembly of North Carolina by Representative Lineberry of
IV Guilford County, and
WHEREAS, the stated purpose of the said bill is to repeal Section 162A-7 u; the North Carolina
General Statutes and gives no further indication of its real purpose, and
WHEREAS, 162A-7 sets out a number of protections of paramount importance to Iredell County and
its citizens in matters relating to the taking of water, water rights, and land having water rights
under the power of eiminent domain, and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County that the action of
the Representative from Guilford County in filing the said House Bill 1204, is not the kind of
action that should be taken by the larger counties of North Carolina and can only be deterimentai to
the smaller neighbors of such large counties, and
WHEREAS, it is further the opinion of the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County that H. B.
1204 is a flagrant attempt to deprive the citizens of the entire State of North Carolina of rights
possessed by them since the founding of this Country and constitutes a danger which should be
addressed immediately.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is unanimously and unequivocally resolved that the Board of Commissioners of
Iredell County is opposed to the enactment of H. B. 1204 and any and all other Bills repealing the
rights protected under G. S. 162A-7, and that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to all
members of the Legislature who represent Iredell County, asking their support in seeing that H. B.
1204 is defeated.
