DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED NATER AUTHORITY IN IREDELL COUNTY: All municipal officials and
members of Iredell Water Corporation were invited to attend this meeting because the board wanted to
discuss theplans for establishing a countywide water authority. Mr. Carson Fisher, County staff
engineer, gave descriptions of a water district and a water authority. A district has taxing
authority; an authority does not. Mr. Pope, county attorney, said the authority would be easiest to
implement; however, it cannot issue General Obligation bonds.
It was the consensus of those present from Troutman, Mooresville, Statesville, and Iredell
Water Corporation, that they were very interested in the project.
Commissioner Alice Stewart mentioned the possibility of a model to study the different compo -
tents of the project. Mr. Shoe from Mooresville said he would like to have a model also. Commis-
sioner Mitchell said he would like to ask Carson Fisher, the staff engineer, to "put this (the
model) on the front burner." Mr. Fisher said it might involve Camp Dresser McKee. It was requested
by the board of commissioners that at the next meeting the board be given an update as to where we
stand and what all is involved. Commissioner Stewart said maybe COG can help.
Chairman Sloan inquired what Iredell Water Corporation needed from the county commissioners and
when (what kind f information) in order to make decisions about the possibility of the County
taking over the water corporation. Mr. White said they needed to know the basic plan and who is to
o
participate.
Mr. Bill Pope suggested an advisory board (task force) who would help decide upon the articles
of incorporation, by-laws, etc. Chairman Sloan said each body should appoint someone to serve at
large. It was thought that the person appointed should be a staff person rather than an elected
official. West Iredell Water Corporation was not represented at this meeting, but was included in
the study.
Following further discussion, it was decided that the county manager would be the staff person
