Chairman Sloan called the meeting to order.
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM: Chairman Sloan recognized Mrs. Susan Daniels of the Children's Museum who
spoke regarding their request for office space in the building now occupied by the planning, inspec-
tions, and mapping staff. Children's Museum would like to have this space when the planning and ,.
inspections move to the renovated City Hall location.
The board members discussed this with Mrs. Daniels; and after discussion, Commissioner Stewart
stated that she would like to ask the county manager to do a space analysis of the future needs of
the county so that the board would be able to ascertain what the office space needs are going to be
in the future. Commissioner Stewart said she would like to see this study done before any decisions
were made to commit office space to other agencies.
Mr. Joel Mashburn said it would take approximately sixty days to do this study. The Children's
Museum now has a lease at the City Center where they can remain until a decision is reached.
Tabled.
LEASE FOR THE OLD JAIL: Mr. James Walker was present regarding an updated lease for the old
jail. The one that is currently in force was approved by the board on September 6, 1988; however,
Mr. Walker has never signed this document and finds it unsuitable because of a clause that requires
renewal from year to year. He would like to have a five-year lease which would assist him in
getting State funding by showing a more permanent office facility. The board found this change
agreeable and recommended approval at the April 4th meeting, while at the same time action taken on
September 6, 1988, approving the former document, would be rescinded.
N. C. POULTRY FEDERATION, POULTRY MONTH IN APRIL: Chairman Sloan brought this matter to the
attention of the board and requested that a resolution be drafted to stress the Poultry Month since
Iredell County is so active in the production of poultry. This resolution would be adopted on April
4th.
PUBLIC HEARINGS REGARDING REZONINGS DISCUSSED: Mr. Lundy discussed these items with the board.
The public hearings are scheduled for April 4th.
MANAGER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD: Mr. Mashburn brought the board up to date on several items. He
said Mr. B. K. Barringer had offered to help close out the Community Development Block Grant at I-77
and NC -150 in Mooresville.
An update on Iredell Water Corporation purchase of water rights option was discussed. It was
stated that a meeting with the City of Statesville is planned for April 11, 1989, 7:00 p.m., to tour
