ABC FUNDS: It was reported by the city manager that the ABC funding discussed at the April 5th
retreat in the amount of approximately $80,000 was requested to be sent to the DARE program;
however, Senator Bryan left the bill in with the funds going to the schools.
TRAVEL AND TOURISM: It was reported that information on the funds collected from the
hotel/motel tax is now coming to the county on a monthly basis. Mr. Connet said the City had funded
basically $11,000 to $12,000 for the Travel and Trourism Board with anything else to be funded on a
line item basis with a cap of $20,000. The Project 2000 and Dogwood Festival funding have been
removed from the hotel/motel tax funds.
Commissioner Stewart inquired if the County should go back and change its recommendation on the
funding for Travel and Tourism. Mr. Mashburn said that even if the County approved a greater
amount, they cannot spend more than the City Council approves. There is no requirement for the
1 40 County to do anything.

Statesville has enough volume.

processing departments, it was decided that it would not be feasible to consolidate all purchasing.
PARTNERSHIP 2000: Rick Dagenhart inquired about the membership in the Partnership 2000.
Chairman Sloan said the only two counties not particpating that he knew of were Rowan and Anson

see what they are doing.
