"Section 3.4. Initial Council. Until the organizational meeting after the initial regular municipal election of 2001, L.W. 'Bunk' Whitley, Joyce Beatty, A. J. Tucker, Frederick W.

"Section 2. From and after the effective date of this act, the citizens and property in the Town of Midland shall be subject to municipal taxes levied for the year beginning July 1, 2000. For that purpose the Town shall obtain from Cabarrus County a record of property in the area herein incorporated which was listed for taxes as of January 1, 2001.
