Forming Municipalities Chapter 14.1

Local Authority All state constitutions lay out rules for establishing local governments. Local ordinances (laws) must follow the state & federal constitution.

Municipalities Include cities, towns, and villages. The type of government depends on charter. Large cities tend to use the strong mayor-council-manager plan Small municipalities tend to use the weak mayor-council-manager plan Currituck Co. has no municipalities. Currituck Co. is part of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Area. What is a Metro Area?

Incorporation When an area wishes to incorporate as a municipality to form a local government, the NCGA must approve the charter. A charter is the municipality’s plan of government. What is included in a charter? Currituck Co. BOC sought to incorporate the entire county. This referendum failed. Corolla sought to incorporate 3 years ago. The NCGA refused to approve their charter. What are advantages & disadvantages of incorporation?

Annexation Why would a city need or want to annex new territory into their city limits? What happens if the citizens of the unincorporated area do not want to be annexed? What are the pros & cons of being annexed by a municipality?

Services provided by Municipalities Services include maintenance of streets, utilities, sidewalks, cemeteries, and public safety. Municipalities in NC collect property taxes, sales taxes, and income taxes to pay for these services. The city manager develops the budget which then must be approved by the council. Mayors are largely ceremonial.
