discussed this ordinance with the board. He said it probably is the first of such local ordinances
in America. He explained the ramifications of the ordinance. In the course of the discussion, the
board talked about the possibility of having a brick company fire the contaminated soil in kilns to
remove petroleum from the soil. This soil could then be used in making bricks.

date.
LOWRANCE HOSPITAL, ANALYSIS OF PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF HOSPITAL: Ms. Goodman presented this
report to the board and was available to answer questions. The report showed the amount of interest
earned since the last report was issued.
The board inquired about the Lowrance Hospital Escrow Funds Committee's recommendation for
appropriations for these funds. Commissioner Madison inquired about the possibility of appropria-
ting $1 million. The county manager said the staff is still pursuing advice on the amount of
liability exposure the county still has from Lowrance Hospital. As soon as a report is made to the
staff on this, he will report to the board.

Agenda for the 7:30 p.m. meeting this same date.
REPORT ON AMBULANCE SERVICE IN MOORESVILLE AREA: Commissioner Haire reported on the committee
meeting on December 17th in reference to placing an additional ambulance in the Mooresville area.

county hire two additional people and place a second ambulance in South Iredell County.
