Clint Williams, ENP, GIS/E-911 Operations Administrator, requested approval of a Joint

(Corner) Between Wake County, Harnett County, and Chatham County and Commitment to
Pursue Joint Enabling Legislation to Modify the Wake County and Chatham County Boundary
as Described in the 1961 Survey.
Mr. Williams listed the preliminary impacts on properties. He noted that to establish this as the
correct boundary corner for the three counties, and correct the Wake/Chatham County boundary
line, state legislation must be enacted in accordance with N.C. G.S. 153A-17. This joint
resolution, to be adopted by all three counties, provides support for legislation to make this
correction in the 2018 NC General Assembly short session. After legislation is enacted, Wake

and Harnett Counties will work toward locating its official boundary in accordance with N.C.
G.S. 153A-18. This can be enacted locally upon agreement between the two counties.

Mrs. Stewart reviewed the revised 2018/19 budget calendar and asked commissioners to consider
scheduling an additional work session to discuss the budget. Vice Chairman Penny moved that
the Board meet in special session to discuss the 2018/19 budget on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at

Mrs. Stewart suggested the Harnett County Economic Development Advisory Council discuss
CCCC's The Harnett Promise proposal and the Occupancy Tax during their upcoming meeting.
She noted the council is still trying to define their mission.
Regarding CCCC's The Harnett Promise, Chairman Springle said if the Board goes ahead and
makes the decision to do it this year; Dr. Marchant thinks they could fund the pilot program at
$400,000 to start because there will be less people. However, Dr. Marchant said the County
would still need to commit to the total amount for four years as discussed. Chairman Springle
asked that this considered at the first meeting in May so that they could let CCCC know
something as soon as possible.
Mrs. Stewart reviewed upcoming meetings and invitations.
There was no new business.
Commissioner Miller moved that the Board go into closed session to discuss certain personnel
matters. This motion is made pursuant to N.C. General Statute Section 143-318.11(a)(6).

WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. § 153A-17 provides that the boundaries of each county shall
remain as presently established, until changed in accordance with law; and
WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. § 153A-18 also provides that if two or more counties are uncertain
as to the exact boundary between them, they may cause the boundary to be surveyed, marked and
mapped; and
WHEREAS, Wake County and Chatham County located the boundary line between them
in 1961 in accordance with procedures which governed at the time set forth in N.C.G.S. § 153-11
and by dual action of their Board of Commissioners detailed in Deed Book 1476, Page 332-338,
Wake County Registry and the E.C. Smith survey recorded in Book of Maps 1961, Page 68,
Wake County Registry; and
WHEREAS, in recent years, confusion over the situs of specific parcels of land in Wake

assessments, deed recordation, zoning and regulatory inspections, public safety, elections and
school assignment in the respective counties; and
WHEREAS, through recent survey work completed by North Carolina Geodetic Survey
in association with locating the boundary between Wake County and Harnett County, errors have
been discovered in the 1961 Wake County and Chatham County survey which must be resolved
with corrective legislation in accordance with N.C.G.S. § 153A-17; and
WHEREAS, the preliminary survey recently completed by North Carolina Geodetic

County and Chatham County; and
1

counties and have determined that a boundary correction in the Wake County and Chatham

WHEREAS, the property owners that will be affected by the location of the common
corner between Wake County, Chatham County, and Harnett County and resultant modification
to the 1961 Wake County and Chatham County boundary line have been notified; and

Geodetic Survey prepare an official survey for adoption and ratification by the North Carolina

Resolution; and
WHEREAS, following the establishment of the mutual corner between the three
counties and correction in the boundary line between Wake County and Chatham County,
