APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
LONG RANGE PLAN FOR SCHOOL CAPITAL PROJECTS: According to the School Facilities Finance Act of
1987, the school systems have to present their 1993 Long Range Plans to the County Commissioners
prior to submission to the state. They have to report to the Legislature by the end of this month.
By consensus of the two school superintendents, Dr. Houston and Dr. Register, Dr. Houston gave the
Mooresville report first.
The Mooresville Graded Schools report is for $10,970,000 in Total Actual Cost. (Bond costs
including interest will be approximately $20 million.) It calls for refurbishing two elementary
schools and turning one middle school into a technical center. Two projects will be needed by
1996 and the third project will be needed by 2001.
The Iredell-Statesville Schools report was then discussed by Dr. Register. This report is a
total estimate of $51,129,091. One of the main requests was for $14 million for a new South Iredell
High School.
`ullowing the two presentations, the county commissioners agreed that this should be placed on
the evening's agenda as a matter of Appointments Before the Board.
TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE: Mr. Brent Weisner, Tax Assessor, was present to discussed the tax
assessor items on the agenda. He gave information on the new laws on paying taxes on motor
vehicles. He said abstracts should go out of the office by the end of December.
DISCUSSION OF SOCIAL SERVICES PROPOSED LEASE OF J. C. PENNEY DOWNTOWN STORE BUILDING: The
board discussed the various methods of creating additional space for the department of social
services. The J. C. Penney building can be renovated in 150 days, according to the proposal submit-
ted by James Jennings, owner of the building. It is estimted that it will take one year to eighteen
months to build additional space at the present site. The old health department building on
Hartness Road was suggested as a temporary alternative to the space problem. Other possibilities
discussed were moving the entire agency to the K -Mart building on Wilkesboro Road or the Avery
Sherrill school building, two immediate possibilities. Mr. Wall reported that Dr. Sokol from the
Department of Human Resources was planning to visit and look at the options and make a recommenda-
tion.
The board continued to discuss other matters on the agenda and concluded the meeting at
approximately 6:45 p.m, for a refreshment break prior to the 7:30 p.m, meeting.
