extending not more than one mile two miles beyond its limits.

all powers conferred in this Article. No city may exercise extraterritorially
any power conferred by this Article that it is not exercising within its

this Article, the city council and the board of county commissioners may use
the most recent annual estimate of population as certified by the Secretary of
the North Carolina Department of Administration."
