Board agrees to have county attorney serve as legal counsel to FACVB during governance transition
Summary
Cumberland County’s attorney’s office will serve as legal counsel for the nonprofit Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (FACVB) as it transitions governance to a tourism development authority; the board approved the request unanimously.
The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Nov. 3 to approve a request for the county attorney’s office to serve as legal counsel to the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (FACVB), a nonprofit corporation undergoing a governance transition to a tourism development authority.
County Manager Grier explained the transition and asked County Attorney Rick Moorefield to address the board. Moorefield said his office had been asked to serve the nonprofit and was willing to do so; he noted the board previously approved the FACVB board’s action to make the tourism development authority the governing board. Commissioner Patel moved approval and the motion passed without opposition.
The action authorizes the county attorney’s office to provide legal services to the FACVB during the governance transition; the record does not specify fee arrangements or a formal contract for those services.
