RENEWAL OF FORMER REQUEST FOR SHARING COST OF TSUMAS WATER LINE EXTENSION: Mr. Harry Tsumas
came before the board again in reference to his request for financial assistance for constructing a
water line from the existing City of Statesville water line to his property on Salisbury Road. The
total estimated cost originally from Bell Construction Company was $150,000; however, the final cost
would be $10,000 to $15,000 more, Mr. Tsumas said.
Commissioner Crosswhite called attention to the action taken by the board of commissioners on
June 13, 1989 agreeing to split the cost 50/50, not to exceed $75,000.
Mr. Tsumas said he only needed a 4" line, yet he had built a 12" line for future development.
He said he did not think the proposal offered was fair.
After further discussion, a MOTION was made by Commissioner Hedrick stating that the board
reconsider the original motion made on June 13, 1989 regarding the Tsumas matter, without any
stipulations to what the new motion might contain.
