MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the Iredell Home Consortium Joint Corporation Agreement
as amended and that the chairman be authorized to sign this agreement for the county.
Chairman Sloan asked Mr. Lundy to give highlights on this program for the audience.
HOME Program is a federal program that is going to be forwarded through the state to local
governments. Iredell County is agreeing with Statesville and Mooresville to form a consortium.
They will apply for a maximum grant of $1 million. There is no matching funds. Local government
must pay for the administrative costs and the fees for the lead entity, which is Statesville, for
handling financing and audit work. This program will be used for as a down payment loan grant for
first-time home buyers. It can be used to write down the mortgage, to rehabilitate owner -occupied
housing, to rehabilitate tenant -occupied housing, and in some limited cases can be used for new home
construction. It can be set up in a form of repayment and can be used as seed money for some of the
programs the banks have announced for first-time home buyers.
There is no target area designated in this grant. It can involve single units in any area.
WILLIAMSON CHAPEL - REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF LATE LISTING PENALTY: This request was on the agenda
in 1989, and the county attorney was going to research the question to see if there was an alterna-
tive to paying the taxes. The church overlooked filing the proper exemption forms for their
parsonage, and consequently were mailed bills for 1987, 1988, and 1989. The board extended the
listing period for the 1990 taxing year so they were able to fine the exemption form for that
period. However, there are three years' taxes still outstanding.
Mr. Pope said he did not believe the, low permitted the board of commissioners to forgive taxes
and there was no legal recourse to the payment of these taxes.
NO BOARD ACTION TAKEN.
