A
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 Riverside, 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 Riverside. 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 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. The commission shall make a report of its findings and
recommendations, with suggestions for proposed legislation, if any, on or before
