MOTION from Chairman Sloan as follows:
The County will participate in the Tsumas Water Line Project on a 50/50 basis, not to exceed
$75,000 and the additional expenditure necessary for a meter near Bell Road. The ownership of the
line would be turned over to the County. The County would, in turn, lease the line to Iredell Water
Corporation who would operate and maintain the line until such time as the County establishes a
water department. At that time it would revert back to the County. Payback for the funds to Tsumas
would be at least two budget years, beginning with FY 89-90. First payment would be made after
completion and approval of the line by the City of Statesville. This motion is
conditioned upon the premise that the County can purchase water from the City of Statesville at a
wholesale price.
