Environmental Affairs Board Chairman David Vann was present and discussed with the Board some concerns their Board had. After some discussion Commissioner Matthews moved to go along with the Environmental Affairs Board request and ask the General Assembly to include membership from Chatham, Lee and Harnett counties on the Piedmont Triangle Water Authority. Commissioner Reives stated that he would like to see us add to the Piedmont Triangle Water Authority consideration to appoint a member from Lee County and perhaps even Chatham and Harnett which will also be effected. He stated, "I feel like if I'm going to be involved in a matter of that magnitude I would like to see us both sitting on that Board or at least a consideration for an appointment to that Board by some member of Lee County or perhaps Chatham and Harnett as well". He further stated, "It seems to me that we have some people who will be the beneficiary if this does take place with all the Authority invested in their Board and we have no input.
