Chairman Scurlock pointed out that the delegation gave us less than a receptive ear last time we approached them re di s1ncorporation. Mr. Koolage noted that the Board was expressing the will of the people, and he has a problem with an elected representative not following the will of the people. He continued to express his feeling that the Town should be dissolved. Commissioner Eggert asked if Orchid's Comprehensive Plan has been approved, and Mr. McQueen advised that it has been submitted to the state, but he was not sure that it has been finally approved. Mike Dailey came before the Board representing North Beach Water Company. He wished to state for the record that they have sent a letter to the Town of Orchid saying that they are ready, willing and able to serve that Town and, in addition, are negotiating with the county to sell that utility. He felt this will answer the Town's concerns for utility service whether it be by North Beach or the county. Chairman Scurlock wished to note for the record that North Beach has still failed to provide a plan for Summerplace, which is in their existing franchise area, and they have served outside their franchise area. Commissioner Bird stated that he would like to move that this item be removed from the agenda of matters to be presented to the legislative delegation. Commissioner Eggert questioned whether it should be removed with no comment made at all, and Chairman Scurlock felt we should at least appear and express our concerns for this very significant part of our barrier island. We appear to have a wonderful group who seem to be legitimate, but he still felt we should express the concern we have until this is actually built. Commissioner Bird did not have any problem with that but just did not want to go to the delegation and argue to disenfranchise the town. 93 ,JAIL 191988 BOOK 70 F[ 653
