and asked the county manager to begin the agenda briefing.
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - DISCUSSION OF AUXILIARY DEPUTIES: Sheriff Clyde Lloyd was present to
discuss the reserve officers at the sheriff's department. There are 17 reserve officers, he said.
They are used for back-up, weekends, and at peak times. The only time these reserve officers are
covered with insurance is when they are rendering service under a full-time law enforcement officer,
Sheriff Lloyd said.
After further conversation, Commissioner Mitchell said he would like to go on record supporting
the auxiliary deputies.
DARE OFFICERS: Sheriff Lloyd said on May 14th the City of Statesville voted to do away with
the DARE officer funding. This means they now have two officers covering the entire newly consoli-
dated Iredell-Statesville school system. The sheriff said they would be unable to do this with ,just
the two officers.
Commissioner Madison said he would make a motion to contact Dr. Register and see if the schools
would not fund another DARE officer from the $80,000 ABC funds they are receiving since the funds no
longer go to the City and are coming to the consolidated school system. This will be placed on the
agenda for the meeting this evening.
FEES FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT: A schedule of fees, some of which have been changed, was
presented to the board. Commissioner Madison, the representative to the health board, said the
board discussed these fees at length and the board was satisfied with the increases. The fee
schedule is to be placed on consent for this evening's meeting.
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN: A four-year plan for Transportation Development with the
Department of Transportation has been prepared under the direction of the Centralina Council of
Governments and with an advisory board from some of the agencies who have transportation available
for their clients. Mr. Bill Duston introduced the plan and presented Michael Rose from COG and Mr.
Caldwell of DOT, who were present to discuss the plan. Mr. Rose explained there were funds
available from the DOT for purchasing and/or renovating vehicles, but a transportation plan must be
approved before the funds can be released. The four-year plan is flexible and can be adjusted to
meet particular needs as the time period goes along, Mr. Rose said. The lead agency is the Iredell
County Vocational Workshop.
Mr. Mashburn had to leave the meeting during this presentation. Commissioner Haire asked Ms.
Goodman to take over in the absence of Mr. Mashburn.
AMBULANCE BILLING COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT: Mr. Al Upton, Emergency Medical Services Director,
and Ms. Goodman, Finance Officer, presented a plan with a budget amendment for the establishment of
a new Ambulance Billing Collections Department. After discussion the budget amendment was placed
on the consent agenda.
The board spent additional time reviewing the other items on the agenda and heard from Mr.
Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, regarding the items on the agenda for public hearings. Some of the
items were placed on the consent agenda for this evening.
