WHEREAS, the General Assembly of North Carolina amended the General Statutes of the State of
North Carolina regulating the purchase of apparatus, equipment, materials and supplies to increase
the amounts which may be purchased without any bid in the amounts above which formal bids are
required; and,
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Iredell County Commissioners that the Iredell County Purchas-
ing Ordinance (adopted August 5, 1975, and amended January 5, 1982) be made to conform to the new
requirements of state law and thereafter automatically contain the same requirements as state law.
Now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That the existing Iredell County Purchasing Ordinance adopted August 5, 1975, and amended
January 5, 1982, is hereby amended so that:
I. Section IVA will read as follows:
Purchase all supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services
required by the agencies in an estimated amount of $5,000 or less; and
submit to the County Commissioners for award of contracts for purchases
of supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services in estimated
amounts in excess of $20,000.
Section VIIB shall read as follows:
If the amount of the expenditure for a contractual service or for
a commodity or class of commodity is normally obtainable from the same
source of supply is estimated to exceed $5,000, the contract bids
shall be submitted in accordance with the provisions of state law.
Section VIIC shall read as follows:
If the amount of the expenditure is estimated to be less
than $5,000, it shall be on an open market transaction and whenever
possible, be based on at least three competitive bids.
Section XB shall read as follows:
It shall be unlawful for for any agency to split its requirements
for supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services into
estimated amounts of less than $5,000 in order to evade the provisions
of Section VII of this Ordinance.
II. Henceforth, the provisions of state law with regard to the purchase of apparatus, sup-
plies, materials and contractual services, as the same may change from time to time, shall automati-
cally be included in the Iredell County Purchasing Ordinance and the Iredell County Purchasing
Ordinance shall be deemed automatically amended to include all future amendments to state law.

CONSIDERATION OF HOSPITALIZATION FOR RETIRED COUNTY EMPLOYEES: This matter was on the agenda on
September 20, 1988, and was tabled pending further information from staff. Mrs. Carolyn Harris,
personnel director, has been in touch with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield corporation, with whom the
county is insured for group health insurance, and Mrs. Harris has reconfirmed the earlier statement
from Blue Cross that they will not extend the coverage to employees already retired. Retiring
employees beginning with the present time will be covered with health insurance that will be paid
for by the retiring employee. This coverage will continue until the employee reaches the eligibili-
ty status for Medicare, at which time the group health insurance will be dropped, and the employee
will be required to get an individual supplemental policy to coincide with the Medicare.
