RESOLUTION
To
create the North Fulton Boundary Commission; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
the area of North Fulton County is populated by three municipalities:
Alpharetta, Roswell, and Mountain Park, and two additional municipalities,
Milton and Johns Creek, have been proposed; and
WHEREAS,
there has been a significant amount of discussion concerning the appropriate
boundaries for such municipalities; and
WHEREAS,
it is the intent of the General Assembly to permit the local jurisdictions to
resolve these issues among themselves, if possible; and
WHEREAS,
the General Assembly believes that the establishment of a commission composed of
representatives of each of the affected municipalities would be the best vehicle
for achieving a resolution of these issues.

created the North Fulton Boundary Commission to be composed of one
representative each selected by the governing authority of the City of
Alpharetta, the City of Mountain Park, and the City of Roswell and, if

the City of Johns Creek. The chairperson and vice chairperson of the commission
shall be elected from among the members of the commission by the members of the
commission.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, upon all members of the commission being appointed,
the commission shall undertake a study of the boundaries of such municipalities
taking into account the conditions, needs, issues, and problems related thereto
including the natural boundaries, communities of interest, service delivery, and
the preferences of the residents affected and shall prepare a report
recommending any changes which the commission deems necessary or appropriate.
The commission may conduct such meetings at such places and at such times as it
may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise fully and effectively
its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the objectives and purposes of
this resolution. The members of the commission shall not receive any
compensation for attending the meetings of the commission. Upon unanimous
agreement by the members of the commission, the commission shall make a report
of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation,
if any, on or before February 1, 2007. The commission shall stand abolished on
