Resolution to Repeal the 1982 Resolution Creating the Orange County Economic Development
Commission
WHEREAS, a Resolution by the Orange County Board of Commissioners authorized the creation of the
Orange County Economic Development Commission on December 14, 1982 (revised January 20, 1987,
January 4, 1988, and June 28, 1994); and
WHEREAS, since the creation of the Orange County Economic Development Commission in 1982,
economic development in Orange County has undergone significant changes, and as a result, the
Board of Commissioners of Orange County have determined that it is in the best interest of the County
to create a different entity to guide economic development within the County; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Economic Development Commission was created as provided in
North Carolina General Statute Chapter 158, Article 2, which stipulates that a resolution creating an
economic development commission may be repealed in the same manner as it was originally adopted;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
ORANGE COUNTY THAT:
1. As provided in North Carolina General Statute Chapter 158-8, Article 2, the Orange County
Board of Commissioners hereby repeals the resolution creating the Orange County Economic
Development Commission, effective immediately; and
2. The Orange County Economic Development Commission is hereby dissolved; and
3. The Orange County Economic Development Department Director shall propose to the Board of
County Commissioners an alternate entity to advise the County on Economic Development
issues; and
4. The formation, membership, and function of this alternative entity shall be approved by the
Board of County Commissioners as provided in General Statute Chapter 158-8, Article 2; and
5. Pending the creation of a new entity to advise the County on Economic Development issues, the
Economic Development Department shall remain a part of Orange County Government
reporting to the Orange County Manager.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the recent members of the Orange County Economic Development
Commission will be sent a letter thanking them for their exceptional and tireless service to the residents
of Orange County.
This the 21St day of June, 2011.
