toward authorization of Bonds for construction of the projected

received grant authorization under the Clean Water Bond Act in
an amount of $1,521,000; whereas, Farmers Home Administration
has made an offer of a grant to the District in the amount of
$1,500,000; and whereas, expediting the project to contract
stage in calendar year 1976 appears mandatory to protect the
allocation of grant monies; whereas, to bring the project to
contract stage in 1976 requires the Engineers to proceed with
final contract plans and specifications immediately; and whereas,
the County Board of Commissioners consider it in the best inter-
est of County of Harnett to authorize the Engineers to proceed
with final plans and specifications immediately; therefore, be
it resolved that County of Harnett will underwrite the planning
cost on the project up to the date of the proposed Bond Referen-
dum, with the provision that planning cost to that date shall not
exceed $50,000, that should the Bond Referendum of the Metropoli-
tan District be favorable, that no obligation shall accrue to
County of Harnett, but would rather become the obligation of the
Metropolitan District, that should the Bond Referendum fail, that
the obligation of County of Harnett would be limited to planning
fees obligated by the Engineers to the date of the Referendum,
and substantiated by invoice from the Engineers; and further,
that no future obligation of the County to the Engineers is
either made or implied by reason of the Metropolitan District
Water Project.
