Commissioner Crosswhite said she had collected several brochures and found that some of the
brochures were paid for by advertisements, others by state grants, etc.
Commissioner Murdock said she would like to pursue a statement that Chairman Hedrick had made,
and that this was not really County money, even though there is a contract in existence. She
inquired if the county had a right to tell the City how to spend the funds.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said as he recalled as a prerequisite to the City being able to
assess a tax, the County had to abolish its civic center authority, which gave the county a big
stick. The County required them to negotiate a contract as to how the funds would be spent.
Commissioner Murdock said at the time it was done, it seemed to be the right thing to do.
Commissioner Ostwalt said it had gotten a great deal more technical later. He said a contract
was drawn and felt that the County should abide by it.
Chairman Hedrick inquired about penalty for violating the contract. Mr. Pope said it would
depend on what the violation is. He explained the various legal terms in violating a contract.
Mr. Ralph Shuford, a local restaurant owner, made a statement in favor of the tax being used
for travel and tourism.
Mr. Kivett, Statesville City Council member, spoke briefly in favor of the tax being used for
travel and tourism.
Further discussion took place, after which a vote was taken by the board.
