CALL TO ORDER by Vice Chairman Williams.
Request from the City of Statesville for the Approval of an Easement for
Sidewalk Construction at Iredell Memorial Hospital (pedestrian loop around the
hospital and surrounding neighborhood): Wayne Lambert, the City of Statesville's
Director of Public Works, requested approval of an easement for sidewalk construction
on property being leased to Iredell Memorial Hospital. He said the intent of the project
was to provide a pedestrian loop around the hospital and the surrounding neighborhood.
Lambert then presented a diagram with the easement dimensions.
Commissioner Norman asked if a ten foot right-of-way was standard.
Lambert said it was this size due to the catch basin lid.
Commissioner Madison asked if the lease with Iredell Memorial had been
reviewed to determine if easements were allowed.
County Manager Mashburn said Arnold Nunnery, Iredell Memorial's
administrator, had advised that the hospital's board of trustees had no objections to the
easement.
Request from the Iredell Friends of the Library Organization for
Permission to Conduct Fundraisers on behalf of the new Library Building: Library
Director Steve Messick, along with Friends of the Library Chairman Arlene Foster and
Vice Chairman Lisa McBane explained fundraising ideas on behalf of the new library.
McBane requested permission to conduct the following fundraisers:

Engraved Brick Tribute: Personalized bricks would be available for $150.00. They
