North Carolina General Statutes § 77-51 Creation of Commission authorized

The two counties may by joint ordinance create the High Rock Lake Marine Commission.  The Boards shall hold a public hearing on the joint ordinance to create the Commission.  The location of the public hearing shall be determined by the Boards and established by resolution.  The Boards shall cause notice of the hearing to be published once a week for two successive calendar weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in each county.  The notice shall be published the first time not less than 10 days nor more than 25 days before the date fixed for the hearing. Upon its creation the Commission shall enjoy the powers and have the duties and responsibilities conferred upon it by joint ordinance, subject to the provisions of this Article and the laws of the State of North Carolina.  The provisions of any joint ordinance may be modified, amended, or rescinded by a subsequent joint ordinance.  A county may unilaterally withdraw from participation as required by any joint ordinance or the provisions of this Article, once the Commission has been created. Any county may unilaterally withdraw from the Commission at the end of its fiscal year, by written notification to the other county and the Commission of its intent to withdraw, with notification 90 days prior to the end of the fiscal year.  Upon the effectuation of the withdrawal, the Commission is dissolved, and all property of the Commission shall be distributed to or divided among the two counties and any other public agency or agencies serving the High Rock Lake area in a manner considered equitable by the Commission by resolution adopted prior to dissolution.
