RESOLUTION OF THE HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
CREATING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, County of Harnett has a total area of approximately 601 square miles and
has seen tremendous population growth over the years.
WHEREAS, County of Harnett is currently divided into six fire protection service
districts created pursuant to North Carolina General Statute §1 53A-301, et. seq. and ten rural fire
protection districts created pursuant to North Carolina General Statute §69 -25, ct. seq.
WHEREAS, in 2005 the Harnett County Board of Commissioners adjusted fire
insurance district boundaries to six miles, but took no action to adjust the boundaries of the fire
protection service districts or rural fire protections districts.
WHEREAS, because fire protection service districts and rural fire protection districts
abut each to the other, to extend, reduce, or consolidate the various district boundaries is
impractical and prohibitive under the existing circumstances pursuant to the North Carolina
General Statutes of the State of North Carolina.
WHEREAS, on the 12`h day of October, 2010, the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners received various proposals relating to the collection of tax revenues for fire
protection purposes and decided, by general consensus, to proceed with a proposal to abolish
existing fire protection service districts within the County of Harnett, assess a zero tax levy for
the rural fire protection districts, and to create new fire protection service districts within the
County of Harnett to fund the full cost of fire protection service, delivered on an equal basis to
all residents of the particular service districts, with the cost burden carried equitably by all
service district property owners.
WHEREAS, the Harnett County Manager, Harnett County Emergency Services
Director, the Harnett County Senior Staff Attorney, and other appropriate representatives and
employees of the County of Harnett were authorized to take such steps as might be required or
necessary to pursue the statutory and administrative processes relative to the proposal to abolish
existing fire protection service districts and create new fire protection service districts.
WHEREAS, North Carolina General Statute §153A -302 provides the standards and
process to be utilized in defining a new service district.

and North Carolina General Statutes, a thorough inquiry was conducted in connection with the

departments which would service such districts, consultations with faculty at the UNC School of

containing maps of the proposed districts, showing the proposed boundaries, statements showing
the proposed districts meet the standards as required by law, and plans for providing fire

public hearing on April 18, 2011 providing an opportunity for citizens to appear and be heard
