Commissioner Williams asked if annexation could be guaranteed.
Marshall said it was hard to predict the actions of future councils, but it would make
sense for the annexations to occur.
Commissioner Tice asked about the impact on Troutman.
Marshall said initially, the Troutman officials had been asked if they desired to
participate, but at the present time the municipality was not included in the project.
Currier said discussions had occurred with the Troutman Town manager. He said a
municipal agreement would have to be approved for Troutman's inclusion.
Near the conclusion of the discussion, the commissioners agreed to learn more
about the USA concept.
Marshall said a task group had been established and another meeting was planned in
September. Mayor Marshall said the meeting specifics would be shared with the county

next task group meeting.

Bid to Phoenix Fabricators & Erectors in the Amount of $961,000 for the West
Farm Development Project Contingent Upon Obtaining Easements, etc., & (3) the
Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding Pertaining Contingency Funding
for the Tank: Benji Thomas, an engineer with West Consultants, recommended that
the contract for the new water tank at the West Farm development site be awarded to
Phoenix Fabricators and Erectors contingent upon obtaining the necessary property
easements and a lease agreement with EnergyUnited Water.
County Manager Mashburn said an Amended Capital Project Ordinance had
been created stating the owners of the property (West Realty or West Farm
Development) would pay $200,000 "up -front" before the water tank construction
company was paid the first payment. He said West Realty would then owe a balance
of $100.000.00, but this would not be due until all of the other funds had been used.
