COUNTY PROPERTY: Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said he had a proposal from Mike Lassiter,
attorney representing Nancy Feimster Winters, to acquire the county's interest in the property known
as Mable Jurney Owens Property. The total price is $4,000, from which the County would deduct any
taxes that are outstanding. Mr. Pope said he believed that taxes were $700 - $800. This would net
approximately $3200 to $3300. This tract of land is approximately five acres and is located in the
vicinity of Olin. It has a barn on it and a house that probably decreases the value of the land.
Mrs. Winters has a life estate, and it has been ascertained that $4,000 would be a fair price for
the county's interest.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to authorize the County Attorney, William P. Pope, to dispose
of the County's interest in the property known as Mabel Jurney Owens Property, Map X08-13MA47,
consisting of approximately 5.26 acres, by a Negotiated Sale and Upset Bid Process, as permitted in
Article 12 of Chapter 160-A, G.S. 160-A-269. The sale will be to Nancy Feimster Winters for a
total price of $4,000. Outstanding County taxes on this property for years 1988 through December
31, 1992, is $766.51 (Account X52210500). Also, the staff is hereby authorized to run the proper
publication in the newspaper giving notice of the County Commissioners' intent to sell its interest
in this property.

ASMO EDUCATIONAL APPROPRIATION - BUDGET AMENDMENT #14: MOTION from Chairman Sloan to authorize
the payment up to 50% of the unfunded balance for training of ASMO personnel, not to exceed
$150,000, contingent upon suitable agreements being made between and ASMO and Iredell County, and
ask that Mr. Pope and Chairman Sloan and any other board member who wishes to join with them,
discuss the settlement with the ASMO officials. These funds are to be taken from the County's Fund
Balance.
Commissioner Madison inquired if this would not be an illegal action since there is no law suit
at this time and the board is offering to pay something that is not a due and payable debt to the
County.
Chairman Sloan asked County Attorney Pope to respond to this question. Mr. Pope said he
thought it would be in order to amend the resolution (that is on the floor), but he said he did not
think it is a requirement. Mr. Pope said the County can legally compromise disputes whether or not
a dispute has been settled in court.. Mr. Pope said it might be a good idea to clarify the resolu-
tion.
Chairman Sloan amended his motion to say this would be a one-time settlement for the
educational contract between Iredell County and ASMO. He also clarified that there is no law suit
at this time, but the board is offering to pay this as a settlement.
