MRS. JOANN JAMES RETURNS TO THE MEETING AFTER CANVASSING THE
AUDIENCE MEMBERS RESIDING IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD: Mrs. James reported that
24 individuals were in favor of the water line with property assessments.
Mashburn said that if the commissioners chose to assist, he would have to work with the
West Iredell Water Company to determine what needed to be done.
Attorney Pope said the assessments would be collected similar to property taxes. If unpaid,
a lien would be placed on the property. Mr. Pope said that with 7,000 ft. of line, there would
probably be several easements needing to be obtained.
MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to direct the county manager and attorney to pursue
the issues that would be pertinent to funding the water project with property owner assessments and
for the two gentlemen to report back to the board with their findings.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION/DECISION ON PARTICIPATING WITH THE
TOWN OFMOORESVILLE REGARDING THE NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT (county's
participation would be for court/probation space): Mashburn reported that Mooresville planned
to construct anew police department and would soon obtain bids. He said the town was offering
to add additional space for the courts and probation, if the county was interested. Mashburn
continued by saying the request forbids could list the courts/probation space as alternates. He said
Mooresville was just trying to determine if the county was interested - - a full commitment was not
expected at this time.
Commissioner Johnson said it was his understanding that Mooresville handled 400-500
court cases per month. He said the $12 court facility fee was presently going to Mooresville,
because the town owned the building where court was held. Johnson said that if the county entered
into any new agreements and paid for the court space, that he thought the facility fees should revert
to the county. He said if this happened, the county should pay the utilities. Johnson further said the
county manager could review the facility fees to see if this money could service the debt on the new
construction.
