Mr. Robinson stated there was a drug officer in 90 of the 120 school districts in North
Carolina. Mr. Robinson said they would like to see the officers in place by September 1990.
Plans are to pay the officers out of the sheriff's budget. They thought $25,000 should cover
the cost of one officer.
The commissioners discussed the proposal and thought the school boards should be involved in
the request, since it would be viewed as a part of the curriculum.
The matter was tabled until inquires were made of the school systems.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
NORTH IREDELL MIDDLE SCHOOL WATER LINE: Mr. Wilson White, representing Iredell Water Corpora-
tion, and Mr. Mike Wolfe, W. K. Dickson engineer, came before the board in reference to the exten-
sion of a 12,000 foot water line from the current water tank at Union Grove, down the Jennings Road
to the site of the North Iredell Middle School. The cost of the line extension is estimated to be
$147,375, according to Mr. White and his engineer. Mr. White advised the board the school system
could erect a tank on the school site and develop a well at a cost $100,000 more than the cost of
the water line extension would be, which is $250,000. Iredell Water Corporation has given its
consent to put in the line, provided funds are available. Mr. White said it has been learned there
- are low interest loans available to finance the line; however, it will be necessary for the county
commissioners to apply for the money rather than the school sytem.
Commissioner Bryan questioned if the merger plan should be consulted to see if there are any
plans for water and sewer in the planning for new buildings.
In further discussing the low interest loan, the county manager said there is a $200,000 low
interest loan available, but the loan would have to be made to the governmental agency.
Commissioner Hedrick said he would like for staff to check into this further and let the board
know something by the next meeting.
