CONTINUATION OF A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CITY OF
STATESVILLE'S REQUEST FOR THE WAIVER OF SOLID WASTE TIPPING
FEES FOR THE RAYMER BUILDING DEMOLITION DEBRIS: Commissioner
Madison asked if any discussions had occurred between the county and the city about a
joint purchase/demolition of the Downtown Motel building. He said the county could
demolish the recreation building at the same time, and the areas could be used for
parking. Madison said the city could own the motel property and maintain it.
Chairman Johnson questioned why the city would own the property.
Commissioner Madison and County Manager Mashburn said a written
agreement could be worked out where the county used the property during the day for
parking.
Commissioner Madison said that perhaps a tipping fee account could be
established at the landfill for the Raymer Building debris. He said it would be helpful
to know how much the county was aiding the city, and this could be used to enhance
any offers made by the county.
Mashburn said the solid waste director could probably estimate the tipping fee
costs for the debris.
After further discussion, the board members suggested that the city officials be
invited to the March 18 meeting to present their plans for the area in and around the
civic center and Raymer building. They also said drawings from the city, as well as the
county, would be helpful.

refrain from adding additional requests after the packets were delivered. Mr. Madison
referred to the recent North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources lease proposal as an example. He said the staff presented and distributed the
information during the briefing session, and the short notice made it difficult to fully
evaluate the proposal. Mr. Madison said adherence to the policy of having complete
