CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick
DISCUSSION OF THE REQUEST FROM IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY FOR THE TROUTMAN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION: Mr. Deal said he did not believe the board could give the Iredell
County School Board a letter of intent and live with it. In the 1987-88 budget they are asking for
$1,251,000. In the year 1988-89 this schedule would require an expenditure of $1,749,000. This is
$436,674 more than the county commissioners are giving the schools in capital outlay this year. Mr.
Deal advised the board that they would have to increase the appropriation to the county schools at
least $432,000 just to give these expenditures. The cash flow for 1987-88 for these
four payments would be at the end of the year; however, the 1988-89 would be at the beginning of
the fiscal year. This $1,000,000 payment would be impossible due to cash flow.
Commissioner Crosswhite asked if the board did not think they should wait to see what the
General Assembly is going to do about the Capital Projects Bond.
Chairman Hedrick requested that the board accept this as information and table until they have
an opportunity to get with the Board of Education and have a better understanding,
The Board decided they would make arrangements to get with the school board on Wednesday, July
8th, at 1:00 p.m., subject to the school board being able to meet with the county commissioners at
this time.
ADOPTION OF FY 1987-88 BUDGET: Prior to the adoption of the budget several questions were
raised and answered satisfactorily by the county manager.
FEE INCREASES: The board discussed the increase in fees as proposed by the recent study. Mr.
Deal said the ambulance fee is increased to $120 per call, effective July 1. The increase in
sanitation fees needs more time to publicize, he said, and requested that the board make these fees
effective September 1. The building inspection fees would be approved at the same time. Building
inspection fees are not expected to be more than $25 to $30 higher.
Commissioner Murdock inquired why it would be necessary to give more notice regarding the
sanitation fees and building inspections fees than for the ambulance calls. She felt advanced
warning should be given on the all the fee increases.
