OTIO by Commissioner Tice to approve the following nine (9) consent agenda items.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
1. Request from the Iredell-Statesville School System for a 2002-2003 Capital Outlay
Amendment ($1,508,877 from the 2000 Installment Payment Revenue Bond for Future School
Construction & $219,301 for an Addition to the Bus Garage) & Approval of Budget
Amendment #25: During the briefing, County Finance Officer Blumenstein and Iredell-
Statesville Finance Officer Terry Haas explained this request. Haas said the $1,508,877 revision
in the capital outlay budget was for the appropriation from the 2000 Installment Payment
Revenue Bond, and it would be used for future school construction. She said the $219,301
adjustment would be used to enlarge the school system's bus garage.
Blumenstein said Budget Amendment #25 was needed to reflect the decrease of $219,301
in 2002-03 debt service that had occurred with the refinancing of the 1992 Certificates of
Participation. She said the money would be transferred to capital outlay for the school system
and used for the bus garage enlargement.
2. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #23 for the Appropriation of Additional
Funds ($12,000) from the E911 Emergency Telephone System Fund for Road Sign
Replacements and Maintenance: Planning Supervisor Ron Smith said during the briefing that
the budget line item used to purchase new road name signs was low on funds. Smith said the
line item had $20,000 budgeted, and $17,705 has been spent in six months. He estimated that an
additional $12,000 would be needed to finish out this fiscal year. Smith said one reason the line
item was depleted so early was because a large invoice that should have been paid in last year's
budget was carried over for payment in this fiscal year. Mr. Smith said the $12,000 transfer
would qualify as an acceptable expenditure from the 911 Availability Fund.
