The new fee schedule was also included in the revenues for FY 92-93.

Mr. Mashburn, county manager, discussed a Citizen's Survey. He said Wachovia Bank is doing a community ballot, which might be helpful to the county. The board discussed the DARE program, which has been cut to one officer. It is stated there is no way to measure the success or failure of the program. After more discussion it was decided that the county manager should pursue this further and come back to the board with a recommendation about the DARE officers for this year. Mr. Mashburn mentioned some bills that will affect local government. A FAXed letter from Rod Autrey, chairman of the Mecklenburg County Commissioners, regarding Welfare Reform, was discussed. Commissioner Alice Stewart stated she has been working on this report with the four counties heretofore represented by Representative McMillan. The board gave consent for Chairman Sloan to sign the letter of endorsement of SB 1883 and HB 4046 and that it be FAXed back to Mr. Rod Autrey. Mr. Jerry Lundy presented a brochure to each of the five commissioners on the amount of equip- ment owned by the volunteer fire departments. DISCUSSION OF PAVING ROADS OUT OF PRIORITY: Numerous calls have been received from residents and/or property owners on a portion of Hoover Road, which is SR 2366. (Note: Mr. R. W. Spangler said the road has erroroneously been changed to S. R. 2402 by the local people to make it coincide with the road name.) The request from these people is to ask the county commissioners to call for a public hearing and go through the process as outlined in the General Statutes for a road to be paved out of priority. After discussion of this request, the board members concurred that taking this kind of action would be setting a precedent they would not want to continue. Paving a road out of priority means that someone who is on the state's priority list is gong to be excluded from paving. EXECUTIVE SESSION: MOTION from Chairman Sloan to enter Executive Session to discuss industrial recruitment. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to adjourn from executive session. ADJOURN: The board adjourned at 6:30 p.m, for refreshments prior to the 7:30 meeting, which will be held in the County Commissioners' Meeting Room, Iredell County Government Center, Statesville, NC.
