alternate. He said the state required for these offices be in "close proximity" to the courts.
McLean said the entire project could be bid at the same time.
It was mentioned that Mooresville currently received the court facility fees. Commissioner
Johnson said he felt the fees should revert to the county if a leasing/owning arrangement was decided
upon. He asked if the fees could be applied towards the probation space.
Mashburn said the state did not require an accounting for the facility fees.
Chairman Tice suggested that McLean and Mashburn discuss the proposal and report back
to the board on the various payback options. She mentioned the county manager could also research
the facility fees and determine how much was being paid.
It was the consensus of the board members to allow the two managers to proceed with the
chairman's suggestion.

reported there would be about ten windows needing the blinds. The county manager said the funds

REQUEST FROM THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT FOR PERMISSION TO
APPLY FOR A RECYCLING GRANT (Paint -Swap Program): Solid Waste Director
Weatherman said the state had grant money (up to $3,500 per county) available. He requested
permission to apply for the funds, and he said a $700 match would be required. He proposed for
the money to be used to construct a "paint -swap building." Weatherman said citizens could donate
leftover latex paint that still had identifying labels. The paint would be stored and given to county
residents. A log would be kept to prevent people from abusing the system. Weatherman said the
program would aid the county in its ten year waste reduction effort.
Weatherman was asked i f he had sufficient labor to provide the paint -swap program. lie said
the extra duties would actually develop into a full-time job for an employee already hired. (This
person would be responsible for the tire program and paint -swap program.)
Weatherman reported that a $25,000 grant had recently been awarded to the county. The
money was from the state's Swap Tire Disposal fund.
UPDATE ON STUMPY CREEK PARK: Support Services Director Jim Vernon
recommended for the county to bid out the major section of the Stumpy Creek Park project. Vernon
said he had already discussed the matter with the Recreation Advisory Committee (RAC). He said
it would be more feasible to complete the park by reducing the work phases from three to two. He
also said the fields would be planted in a Bermuda -hybrid blend of grass. (It is hoped the fields will
be ready for the fall 2001 season.)
Fie continued by saying the RAC felt that once the infrastructure was completed, the
monetary donations would start flowing in for the project. He estimated the park fund had about
$450,000 with some encumbrances, and there were monetary pledges that had not been received.
Commissioner Johnson said he thought erosion might soon occur if the county didn't start
on the project. Fie said that if this happened, some previous work would have to be done again.
