The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in an Adjourned Session on Thursday, July 16,
1987, at 7:00 p.m., at the Cafeteria of Harmony Elementary School, Harmony, NC. The board members
present for the meeting were:
Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman
Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman
Jessie S. Crosswhite
Frances L. Murdock
Samuel L. Ostwalt
Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager
William P. Pope, County Attorney
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hedrick, and invocation was given by Chairman
Hedrick.
Chairman Hedrick called the meeting to order and stated that the main purpose of the meeting
was to hold the public hearing concerning an amendment to the county's Solid Waste Disposal Ordi-
nance. Mr. Hedrick stated that the amendment under consideration would permit Holly Farms (while
operating under valid permits) to dispose of sludge by land application on a site contiguous to the -
existing rendering plant at Harmony, NC. Mr. Hedrick also stated that the Board had one other item
of business that needed to be considered following the public hearing.
A motion by Mr. Hedrick and a unanimous vote of the Board was made to enter into a public
hearing on the proposed amendment.
Mr. Hedrick began the public hearing by asking Mr. Thurman Horne of the North Carolina Depart-
ment of Natural Resources to explain the state regulations controlling the permitting and applica-
tion of sludge. The Chairman then allowed Holly Farms' representatives to explain the County's
proposal for disposing of sludge at the site adjoining the rendering plant.
Chairman Hedrick then read into the record a handwritten letter of July 15, 1987, from Mr. Gene
Cartner. Mr. Hedrick recognized individuals from the audience who had signed up to speak at the
public hearing. Approxiamtely twenty (20) individuals spoke concerning the Holly Farms issue.
Following the public hearing, Chairman Hedrick stated that the Board had received a great deal of
valuable information both scientific and practical at this meeting. Mr. Hedrick stated that the
Board needed additional time to consider this information prior to making a decision that would
hopefully be in the best interest of all concerned. Mr. Hedrick stated that after the county
commissioners had adequate time to review the information , and to visit the disposal sites, if
desired, the board would hold a second meeting in the Harmony area in an effort to make a final
decision.
Following the fifteen (15) minute recess the Board returned to discuss a recent request of the
Iredell County Board of Education for a letter of intent to provide funding for the construction of
a new Troutman Elementary School. Commissioner Murdock introduced the following resolution which
was unanimously adopted by the board.
