Executive Summary:
The Joint Appearance Commission (JAC) is pleased to present its 2018 Annual Report to the Fayetteville City Council. On January 14, 2019, Mr. Johnny Lanthorn, the current Chairman of the JAC, will make the presentation.
Background:
The Joint Appearance Commission was created in 2004 when the various jurisdictions in Cumberland County adopted an interlocal agreement. The interlocal agreement was based on enabling legislation enacted by the NC General Assembly.
The purpose of the JAC is to promote the enhancement of the appearance of the community. The interlocal agreement sets forth the duties of the JAC: To implement programs of general community beautification; to review and make recommendations regarding the aesthetic suitability of public buildings, facilities, or projects; to recommend ordinances; to direct local officials toward needed enforcement actions; and to prepare, publish, and distribute studies and reports which will advance the cause of improved community appearance.
The Fayetteville City Council appoints four members, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners appoints four members, and the governing bodies of the other eight towns appoint one member each. The four members appointed by the Fayetteville City Council also serve as the Fayetteville Tree Board.
