Mr, Dan Bradshaw said his board reviewed the project last night and he received a very
enthusiatic and unanimous endorsement to proceed.
There was a discussion of their currently existing office space.
Gene Krider explained some of the drawings and called on the health director to continue the
explantion of the plan for the health department.
In answer to a question raised, it was stated that new construction is estimated at $75 to $70
square foot. This price would be on the low end.
In looking at the exterior, it was stated the overflow parking would be grassed. No building
can go on the grassed area. Grassed area will meet the state requirements. They would be ready to
go to bid in four to five months.
There is no asbestos known of in the building. Froeling and Robertson did an assessment. The
roof appears to be in good condition, Chuck Goode said. It is 15 years old.
It was stated the next step would be to go back to First Union and look at increasing the loan.
It was believed it would be good because interest rates have dropped since the original financing
began.
The life of this building is much longer than the ten years, which is the length of the
previous loan. It was thought that a 15 -year financial plan might be best. Ms. Goodman said the
Supreme Court upheld the 160A-120 law for financing which allows a county to do a different kind of
financing. She said it would be a lower interest rate, and the county would maintain the title to
the property during the payback period, which is not the case under the current financial plan.
RURAL ADDRESSING SYSTEM: Larry Dickerson talked about the rural addressing system. It was
suggested by the chairman that Mr. Dickerson come back to the next agenda briefing.
REPORT ON EMS TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn reported on this meeting with the recommendation that
one more unit be added in the Mooresville area. An additional two people, untilizing the existing
convalescent crew of four, is all that will be required. It is estimated that it will cost $60,000
a year for two additional people. That is for wages and fringe benefits. No equipment is needed.
It was questioned if this would come up for enactment now or with the new budget in July. If it
begins now, the funds will have to be taken from Unappropriated Fund Balance, because there is not
enough money in Contingency to fund it. Additional funds will also have to be taken from
Unappropriated Fund Balance to take care of the FLSA overtime with the fluctuating work week. This
is estimted to be another $20,000.
AUDIT CONTRACT CONSIDERED: Susan Goodman recommended a contract with Foster and McLelland at
$20,700. This, she said, is much lower than other counties are paying, and the firm does very
professional work. This is to go on the Consent Agenda.
GRANT FOR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, INFANT MORTALITY RATE REDUCTION, 50%: This is a state grant for
50% of the time rather than the 100% of time requested in the grant. This will pay for the grant
until such time as Medicaid payments begin to come in to cover the costs. At that time it becomes
self -funding. This item was placed on the Consent Agenda for this evening's agenda.
BONDURANT BUILDING, SHERIFF'S OFFICE: $3,500 is required for this office space. It is recom-
mended for approval on Consent Agenda.
TAX COLLECTION REPORT: This December 1990 report was submitted for information to the board.
The board continued the discussion of various matters while the clerk left the meeting to
prepare the adjusted agenda. The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:15 for a short intermission
prior to the seven o'clock meeting.
