MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the recommendations presented
by the Youth Services Advisory Board on the expenditure of these funds.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REQUEST FROM THE YOUTH SERVICS ADVISORY BOARD TO INCLUDE YOUNGER AGES IN THE CBA FUNDING:
Mrs. Evans, chairman for YSA, presented a letter addressed to the county commissioners requesting
the board to seek assistance from the N. C. legislators about lowering the age limit on the funding
requirements for the CBA funds. The YEA would like to see the age dropped to include fifth and
sixth graders, which they believe would be a long-range goal for the use of these funds.
Chairman Sloan thanked them for coming.
REPORT ON KEWAUNEE BUILDING STUDY - J. N. PEASE, ARCHITECTS: Mr. John Hill, representative
from Pease Company, presented the findings from the firm's study on the structural analysis of this
particular building. Mr. Hill reported an estimated cost of $8.85 per square foot for the
structural aspect, with a total square footage of 260,000. This would include the mechanical and
electrical work and the footings and steel columns for the increased stress load of the building.
In addition the Pease Company estimates an additional cost of $35 to $50 per square foot for
upfitting the entire building. This would be for be 72,000 sq. ft. of useable space. No furniture
is included. The total cost of the entire renovation is $3,310,000 for the entire 72,000 sq.ft.,
which is upfitting the entire building and includes mechanical, electrical, and structural porkq•;
After further discussion it was decided to examine the options, including looking at the
possibility of not putting in the second floor. Another alternative plan would be a separate site
for the additional 30,DDO sq. ft.
PRESENTATION OF PLANS FOR JAIL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER RENOVATION: Mr. John Duncan and his
associate presented the plans for the captioned project. They reviewed the plan changes since the
last presentation. These changes brought about a decrease in the overall estimated price from $8.6
million to $8.2 million. This price included $745,000 in Contingency. During the course of the
presentation, Mr. Duncan said they hoped to have the price down below $8 million prior to letting
the bids. They hope to have the construction documents finished by September 15th. It takes six
weeks to go through the State review, which would be the date at November 1 for advertising the
bids. Receipt of bids would be around the first week in December and awarding would come in mid-
January. It will take four months to do the construction documents. Architect's fee is $198,980.
The question arose on how to finance this project. It is hoped the county would be able to use
the GS160A-20, which is still in court at this time. General Obligation bonds were also discussed.
After further discussion, Chairman Sloan asked the county manager to give the board some
options at the next meeting.
CITIZEN CONCERNS
MR. BOB BUSBEE, BUILDING PERIMIT MORATORIUM: Mr. Busbee came before the board in regard to the
moratorium on building which has delayed his boarding kennel project on Highway 21, north of Moores-
ville. The county attorney made inquires of Mr. Busbee and told him he would look into it further
in the next two or three weeks. It may be that Mr. Busbee would have sufficient vested rights to
warrant the issuance of a building permit even though the moratorium has not been lifted.
Chairman Sloan said this matter would be left up to the county attorney.
MR. SHIRLEY LITTLE, RELATIVE TO ROAD THROUGH THE WEST IREDELL NATER CORPORATION PROPERTY: Mr.
Mashburn, county manager, discussed this with the board. Mr. Little had been to the board of
equalization and review and had discussed this matter at that time. The clerk to the board was
requested to look at the records on this matter and write a letter to Mr. Little.
