GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1993 SESSION

CHAPTER 2
SENATE BILL 23

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF MONROE TO PAY A REWARD.

Whereas, the buildings on an entire block on Main Street in Monroe were either severely damaged or completely destroyed and one life was lost as the result of an explosion and ensuing fire on July 28, 1990; and
Whereas, an investigation into the cause of said explosion was conducted by the Monroe Public Safety Department, the SBI, and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; and
Whereas, Audrey Morgan came forward with information as to the persons responsible for said explosion and further cooperated with the law enforcement agencies by obtaining tape recordings of conversations with one of the suspects at some risk to her personal safety; and
Whereas, these taped conversations were critical to the investigation and directly led to indictments and guilty pleas in the matter; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the said Audrey Morgan be rewarded for her outstanding contribution as above set out; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  The city of Monroe may appropriate and pay to Audrey Morgan from its general fund a cash reward in the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 19th day of February, 1993.
