APPROVAL OF BUDGET REQUEST FOR TRI -COUNTY DRUG TASK FORCE AND BUDGET AMENDMENT i4: The three
counties, Catawba, Alexander, and Iredell are forming a tri -county region for application for grant
funds for fighting drug problems, especially on the interstate highways. Ms. Goodman, finance
officer, reported the county's portion would be $11,022. The municipalities within Iredell county
would be putting in additional funds to total $16,700. Plans are to employ three officers and a
clerical position. This will be for an initial two-year period. It is anticipated that this
program will be self-supporting from the fines that will be collected. This will be set up as a
separate department, according to Ms. Goodman.
MOTION from Commissioner Bryan to approve the Budget Amendment in the amount of $11,022. This
amount is to come from Contingency Fund.

REVIEW OF FIRST CITIZENS PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE ROLLING STOCK ON A LEASE/PURCHASE ARRANGEMENT:
Ms. Susan Goodman reviewed this proposal with the board. Russ Sprehe and Bill Leach, First Citizens
representatives, were present to describe the arrangement in detail. The proposal is to
lease/purchase/finance 100% of the motor vehicles over a three-year period. This does not require
Local Government Commission approval, but does require review of the documents by the County Attor-
ney and approval of the Board for the contract of Lease/Purchase. Mr. Sprehe said the Local Govern-
ment Commission has reviewed the documents and they meet with their approval, although they have not
certified to that.
The County will have full ownership of these vehicles at the expiration of the lease term. It
is very similar to any other type of commercial loan, Mr. Sprehe said. Funds will be placed in
escrow and the County will receive some arbitrage on the funds; however, they do not have to file
any type of arbitrage agreement for this short period of time, Sprehe said.
Mr. Sprehe said if the Board concurs, the funds would be placed in an escrow account in
September, and as a piece of equipment comes in the funds would be withdrawn from the account at
that time. By the time the first payment becomes due, all the funds would probably be expended for
the equipment, Mr. Sprehe said. The County can keep the funds in an Escrow Account for approximate-
ly six months without getting into an arbitrage situation, he said.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to accept the proposal to enter into an Equipment Lease -
Purchase and Security Agreement with First Citizens Bank upon counsel's review of the documents, for
purchasing vehicles for the county.
