AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE DURHAM CITY COUNCIL TO DELEGATE TO THE CITY MANAGER THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE THE PAYMENT OF FACILITIES FEES IN INSTALLMENTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 115.6(b) of the Charter of the City of Durham, being Chapter 671 of the 1995 Session Laws, as added by Chapter 476 of the 1989 Session Laws and rewritten by Chapter 992 of the 1991 Session Laws, reads as rewritten:
"(b)	The City Council may permit the payment of a facilities fee in a lump sum or in equal monthly or annual installments over a period of time not to exceed 10 years.  The city council may delegate authority to the city manager, or designee of the city manager, to authorize the payment of a facilities fee in installments when requested by the person who is responsible for paying the fee.  If paid in installments, such installments shall bear interest at a rate fixed by the City Council of not more than nine percent (9%) per annum from the date when the City approves payment of the facilities fee in installments.  The facilities fee, with accrued interest, may be paid in full at any time."
