Commissioner Stewart asked the county manager if the payment of county taxes was included in
the cost comparison.
Mr. Mashburn replied that it was not.
Commissioner Boone inquired about the number of parking spaces. Mr. Mashburn said that there
were 130 spaces. Mr. Madison said that is covered in the specifications.
Chairman Haire inquired if the lease is to be contingent upon the 130 parking spaces. Mr. Pope
said he would feel better if the commissioners' motion would be contingent upon there being 130
parking spaces in the lot being leased by Mr. Jennings to Iredell County.
Mr. Al Fraley asked if he could address this issue. The board members consented to allow him
to speak although Chairman Haire advised him this is not a public hearing.
Mr. Fraley stated his concerns which were:
He did not understand why the board was in such a hurry to sign the lease.
He did not understand why the owner did not pay the taxes and the insurance. His experience is
the owner pays the building insurance and the tenant pays the content insurance. He said that
part of the parking spaces alluded to was on property belonging to the Deatons, and Mr. Jennings did
not own that. property. He inquired why the county chose to lease instead of buy.
Commissioner Madison said a a net county dollar study was done on the property, and it was
found that net county savings after the federal monies were received would be $113,841 in a ten-
year period. The lease is for ten years.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to accept the lease as amended to reflect that the rent is
$8,880 per month with the understanding that with execution of the lease Mr. James Jennings would
provide 130 parking spaces of normal size to the county for parking. Execution of this lease by
Iredell County is contingent upon the parking lot being leased to the County containing 130 useable
parking spaces for normal size cars. '
