suggested that it might be well to begin earlier.
APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE 1988 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM: The board was
advised that there are grants available up to $5,000 for planning grants on use of CUBS funds.
These funds can be used for water and sewer extensions, to create jobs, and for housing rehabilita-
tion. A meeting is scheduled by the State to acquaint people with the grant program. It was
suggested that since Centralina Council of Governments was the administrator for the grant fund in
the past, that it might be well for someone from their staff to attend this meeting. It was
suggested that Centralina Council of Governments be contacted in reference to the $5,000 planning
grant.
BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: The Iredell County Bicentennial plans were discussed. The Arts
Council Committee is planning a garden around the Vietnam and Korean War Memorial located at the
Hall of Justice in commemoration of this event. Since November 18 is the actual date of the
Bicentennial and this is close to the time of the Statesville Christmas Parade, it was suggested
that a Bicentennial float in this parade might be good. It was also suggested that the theme of the
parade could be the Bicentennial, if a theme has not already been planned.
Other ideas were to hold a mock "Commissioners Court," as the county governing board was
originally called. Participants in the meeting could be dressed in period costumes. The renovation
of the old. court house is selected as the Bicentennial Project, and some program around this was
suggested.
Chairman Hedrick appointed a committee from the County to work on this project, comprised of
Commissioners Jessie Crosswhite and Frances Murdock, County Manager Joel Mashburn, and Alice
Fortner, Clerk to the Board.
RESIGNATION OF PAUL HAUGHTON FROM LAKE NORMAN MARINE COMMISSION: Commissioner Alice Stewart

REPORT ON NATER SHED: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, gave a report on the water shed.
COUNTY PICNIC: A report was given by Mr. Lundy on the County picnic, scheduled for Sunday,
October 2, 1988, 2:00 p.m., McClure Park, Statesville, NC.
