Chairman Sloan called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. The board discussed the agenda for
this evening's meeting. Mr. Bill Mashburn and Mr. Joel Mashburn discussed the fee schedule changes.
It was stated that these fees have been recommended by the Health Board. The new fee schedule was
also included in the revenues for FY 92-93.
There was also discussion about the reclassification of the Fee Manager Position from Patient
Account Representative III to Patient Account Representative IV. This is from a Grade 59 to 61.
This is recommended by the State Personnel office.
There was discussion about the contract for meals for the jail.
All the above items were placed on the Consent Agenda for this evening's meeting.
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.
