timeframe. Then, he said the staff had been directed to develop a plan to accomplish the
projects, or to offer alternatives. He said that in regard to the hospital purchase, none of the
procedures had been followed. Johnson said he believed in limited government, and he didn't
feel that governments should get into the real estate business, especially in regard to renting out
floor space. Mr. Johnson said that at the present time, the county had $2.2 million in the capital
project fund and $600,000 was undesignated. He said the county would also soon sell the
property on Highway 150, and this money could be placed into the capital projects fund.
Johnson said the county needed more court and health office space in Mooresville; however.
everyone in Iredell County was being asked to pay for it.

OTIO by Commissioner Bowles to authorize that the proceeds from the sale of the
Highway 150, Plaza Drive property, be directed into the Capital Reserve Fund.

Mr. Bowles said the capital projects already established could continue on their timeframe and
not be delayed. Bowles said this might alleviate some concerns about the projects being
delayed.)
Ray said she assumed this was being done as a "goodwill gesture." She said it was her
understanding that there were no other projects in the capital plan at this time. Mrs. Ray said she
didn't see where anything would be delayed.

simply direct for the Hwy. 150 proceeds to be placed into the capital reserve fund where they
would be safe for the projects already outlined.
