Other counties have expressed the same concerns to the NCACC. Mr. Ron Aycock of the NCACC has
written a letter to Secretary Patric Dorsey and asked that this statute be reviewed.
CONCERNS WITH STATE BUDGET: Mr. Mashburn reported he had read that the State will have very
little fund balance to carry forward and the growth projections for the 92-93 state revenue will be
scaled down from 7.5% increase to 5.5% range, which means counties will probably receive from the
state what was received last year.
LEGISLATIVE GOALS MEETING AT RALEIGH ON JUNE 10, 1992: Mr. Mashburn announced the NCACC
Legislative Briefing and Reception on June 10, 1992. The Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce is
planning an AMTRAK trip to Raleigh that day and have invited the county commissioners to attend.
The plans are to have lunch with the legislators instead of dinner as is the usual procedure by the
county commissioners.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONVENES ON May 26, 1992, AT NOON: Any local bills will have to be introduced
no later than June 2, 1992.
INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT REQUEST TO DEFER INSPECTIONS COSTS ON HOUSE BEING BUILT BY STUDENTS BY
NORTH IREDELL COUNTY: The North Iredell High School is planning to build a foundation for the house
on school property. The students will build the house. It will be sold and moved by the owner.
The school is requesting that the $161 inspection fee be deferred until the house is sold. The
school will have to have the same inspections that any house would receive during construction time,
and it would also have to be inspected after it is moved.
MOTION from Commissioner Mitchell to defer the inspection fee of $161 until after the house is
completed and then charge the normal inspection fee.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
1992 SALES RATIO STUDY: Mr. Mashburn said the N. C. Department of Revenue is required each
fourth and seventh years to conduct sales assessment ratios. The purpose of doing this is to update
the properties that are assessed annually by the state, such as utilities, railroads, etc. These
assessments are adjusted based on the ratio of our valuations. Iredeil County ratio for 1992 is
100%. This being a revaluation year, this would be proper and was the goal of Iredell County's
revaluation.
ANNUAL MEETING FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES: This will be held August 13-16
in Charlotte. If there are any special resolutions we want to go before this association, they must
be in to the NCACC before July 17, 1992. This will be mentioned again.
