Chairman Sloan called the meeting to order and began the meeting by discussing the three
special resolutions for the agenda on Tuesday evening.
Commissioner Bryan raised a question about the June 19th meeting regarding the land slope in
the northern section of the county. Mr. Lundy replied he had received information from some of the
mountainous counties and was making an amendment to the ordinance.
Chairman Sloan inquired about the M-2 zoning and said perhaps this might be a good time to
tighten up the restrictions.
In discussing the tax releases, Commissioner Bryan moved that the board not forgive penalties.
There was no vote on the motion, but it was placed on consent for voting on July 24th.
Several other items of business were placed on the consent agenda.
The county manager addressed smoking in the workplace. It was decided that they would leave
the policy as recommended by staff members with designated smoking areas at department heads'
discretion.
The county manager reported on the hazardous waste siting and distributed a copy of user fees
in North Carolina.
An additional budget amendment was added to the agenda on the setting up of the Tri -County Drug
Task Force as a separate department. This involves Catawba, Alexander and Iredell Counties' law
enforcements. The grant lasts for two years, after which time it should be self-supporting from the
fines and fees collected, which go directly to the administration of the program, in this instance.
Two drug officers and one secretarial position are needed for Iredell County. The board gave
approval of the grant application, and the acceptance of the grant along with the budget amendment
are now on the agenda for approval.
Ms. Goodman spoke to the board about the lease for vehicles to be handled under G.S. 160A-20.
