A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO INCREASE THE USE OF MUNICIPAL AGREEMENTS TO ADDRESS GROWING URBAN OPERATIONS NEEDS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly finds that the Department of Transportation should expand efforts to turn over operations-related functions, such as signal maintenance, signal system operation, sign maintenance, and pavement marking maintenance, to local urbanized communities through municipal agreements.  The effect of these agreements will be to place operational responsibility closer to the group most impacted by the function while potentially relieving the Department of Transportation of part of the associated costs.
Sec. 2.  The Department of Transportation shall report to the General Assembly, on or before December 1, 1993, a plan to increase the use of municipal agreements to turn over operations-related functions to local urbanized communities.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
