Mr. Al Upton, EMS Director, was present to receive the resolution.
MITCHELL COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUDGET FOR 1992-93 RECEIVED: Dr. Doug Eason, president of Mitchell
Community College was present to give an overview of the MCC 92-93 budget. He presented members of
his board of trustees and introduced staff members who were with him. Staff members were Larry
Williams, Business Manager; Dr. Virginia Mitchell, Vice President of Instruction; Dean Billie Meeks;
and Dr. Bill Findt, Continuing Education Director. Members of the board were Tim Dearman, Frank
Fields, Susan Williams, and John Douglas. Alice Stewart, county commissioner, is also a member of
this board.
Dr. Eason said the enrollment for Fall 1992 was 1,591 curriculum students (those seeking a
degree). Total cumulative enrollment increase for the college has been about 7.3%.
In the fall term they served 3,756 in the continuing education. A total head count for the
fall is 4,608, which is a reasonably accurate account, Eason said.
Dr. Eason said they were particularly proud of the GED graduates. May 28th is the GED gradua-
tion of 360 adults with GED diplomas.
A special request in the budget is $500,000 for an addition to the Mooresville center. They
served right at 1,000 persons in Mooresville during the fall term. He discussed the the Allied
Health Center in Mooresville.
Dr. Eason offered his staff's assistance to answer questions the board may have at a later
date.
Vice Chairman Haire thanked Dr. Eason for his presentation and said the board would consider
his budget request at a later time.
IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS: Dr. Register, superintendent of Iredell-Statesville Schools, and
Paula Gwaltney, finance officer for the ISS, came before the board in reference to Installment
Purchasing financing. Dr. Register presented Dr. John Nantz, director of Auxiliary Services, who
just received this title.
Dr. Register referred to the financing under GS 160A-20, special legislation which the law
.,. provides for the schools to expand funds for capital expenitures. The county is permitted to
receive this financing and pass it along to the schools, but schools are not permitted to enter into
a loan of this nature because of the schools' lack of taxing authority. Local bills must be
introduced by our legislators by June 2nd, cut-off date for the short session. They will need to
work with an attorney and a financing institution to work out the mechanics of the legislation, Dr.
Register said.
In response to questions raised, the board of commissioners understood that taking action
authorizing this type of financing did not commit the board in any way to a building program. It is
just necessary to get this approved by the General Assembly in case the financing is used.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison that the board request our legislators and senators to intro-
duce the enabling legislation necessary to accomplish this financing.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
