DAMAGE FROM HUGO AT STATESVILLE CITY SCHOOLS: Dr. Carson, Statesville City Schools Superinten-
dent, and the Statesville City Schools finance officer were present to discuss the damage occurring
at Northview School because of Hurricane Hugo. They presently need funds to do the repairs from the
storm damage and are requesting that they be allowed to use the capital outlay funds budgeted by the
county ($166,352) to help defray these costs. These funds would be used first; and in the meantime,
they would apply for the Public School Capital Funds Available ($245,246). When the insurance
settlement and the FEMA funds are received, these funds will be reimbursed and the capital projects
for which these funds were intended can be resumed.
The county manager advised the board of the options available to the board in consideration of
this request.
PRESENTATION OF PLANS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL STUDY: Mr. John House of David M. Griffin gave a
presentation of the methodology his firm would use in an organizational study. He also expressed
his reasons for thinking an outside agency could do a better job of a study. The study is to
include social services and the health department.
The board inquired about adding mental health, but it was decided that this should be looked at
as a separate issue.
The contract for this work is to come back to the board at the January 2, 1989 meeting for
approval.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT - MATCHING GRANTS: Mr. Jim Wall, Recreation Director, came before the
board to request approval of the recreation grants. Twenty-two thousand eight hundred fifty dollars
($22,850) is budgeted for this line item. Total expenditure recommended by recreation director and
advisory board is $22,700.
Mr. Jim Wall spent time discussing the Iredell County Athletic Association (ICYAA) with the
board.
"-" PROPOSED CHANGE IN SALARY PLAN: Mrs. Carolyn Harris, Personnel Director, was present to
discuss the salary plan with the board. The recommendation is to add 2 112 steps to the existing
plan, which presently stops at 8A. It is thought this would help address some of the problems in
seeking new employees.
DISCUSSION OF IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS REQUEST FOR NATER LINE TO THE PROPOSED NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL
SITE: Mr. Mashburn inquired what she board's position would be in regard to this proposed water
line from the Union Grove area to the new site of the North Middle School. It is estimated that
running the water line would be about one-half the cost of drilling a well and having an elevated
storage tank. Mr. Mashburn said precedent has been set in a similar situation when a line was run
to North Iredell High School, being paid for by the County, turned over to Iredell Water Corpora-
tion, who is to reimburse the County over a twenty-year period. Another similar situation exists at
the Mt. Mourne School when a sewer line was extended.
The board reviewed other agenda items and placed some on consent.
ADJOURN: Chairman Sloan adjourned the meeting at 5:15 p.m. Next meeting on December 19, 1989,
7:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 & 2, Statesville.
