<br />and Southampton to create a Water Authority under the Virginia Water and Sewer Authorities
<br />Act.
<br />
<br /> The resolution contains the proposed Articles of Incorporation which must be executed
<br />and filed with the State Corporation Commission. The Articles of Incorporation will not be
<br />effective or approved by the State Corporation Commission until each political subdivision,
<br />after.its public hearing, advises the Commission to proceed. Any required changes by any
<br />political subdivision after its public hearing will require the proposal to be withdrawn and
<br />the entire procedure repeated.

<br /> While the requirement that the resolution be adopted-before the public hearing appears
<br />awkward, the State law establishes this procedure. The public hearing by the City of Portsmot
<br />on the establishment of this authority has been scheduled for the Council meeting on February
<br />27, 1975."
