NEW BUSINESS
Announcement of the 2003 Annual Conference of the North Carolina Association of County
Commissioners in Greensboro, NC (Koury Convention Center) on August 14-17, 2003: Chairman Johnson
mentioned that any board members desiring to attend the annual NCACC conference should notify the clerk to
the board. (The voting delegate will be elected at the August 5 meeting.)
Contracts with Volunteer Fire Departments: Chairman Johnson said he had received a copy of a
2003 Report for the Volunteer Fire Department Fund that had been given to the members of the North Carolina
General Assembly. He said Iredell County had two fire departments (Monticello and South Iredell) that applied
for supplementary funding from the State; however, they didn't receive any money. He said the total amount
requested was $26,581.50, but nothing was approved. Johnson said Wake County did not receive any money
either, but a department in Mecklenburg County received $6,848. Chairman Johnson said the highest rating
(point system) of any department receiving the funding was 432. He said the lowest rating in Iredell County
was for South Iredell at 558. Mr. Johnson said this indicated that Iredell County had been cooperative and
generous in its funding to the VFDs. He continued by saying it did appear, however, that there should be some
amendments in the way the county conducted business with the fire departments. Johnson suggested that at the
next meeting, a discussion occur about the contracts with the departments not included in the county -wide fire
tax district. Mr. Johnson said the amendments would stipulate that the members of the board of directors for
these VFDs would come from the imposed tax district, but they would not be associated with the fire
department. He said this would provide a cross-section of the community in which the fire department was
located, rather than a narrow section of the area. Johnson said this would maintain credibility in the
community, and it would assure the residents that they had some say-so in the governance of the fire
departments.
�V10T10 by Chairman Johnson to discuss amendments to the contracts with the volunteer fire
departments having voted -in tax districts at the next meeting.
Commissioner Madison asked if the chiefs from these departments could be invited.
Johnson was agreeable to inviting them to the meeting.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
