HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_0873 (2)BURKE-CATAWBA-IREDELL REGIONAL JAIL RESOLUTION: Mr. Mashburn
discussed the captioned regional jail resolution that was presented
by Catawba and Burke Counties for Iredell County's consideration.
Some of the suggested changes that are being requested by the
Iredell County Board of Commissioners, Mr. Mashburn said, are as
follows:
1. Composition of the board of directors of the authority to
include a county commissioner from each county.
2. Verify the ownership of the facility while the debt is
still on the jail building.
3. A cap on the amount of funding and an incentive for
keeping the cost as low as possible.
These three suggestions will be relayed to the other two
counties involved. Catawba County has already agreed to this
resolution, and Burke County will consider this on April 18, 1995.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this resolution
until the board receives the information from the other parties on
the items requested.
In discussion of the motion, Commissioner Boone said he would
reiterate what he said at the briefing that the board needs
definite information before a final decision is made.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
RESOLUTION REGARDING FUNDING OF PARKS AND RECREATION: Mrs.
Susan Blumenstein discussed the resolution stating that in 1991 the
General Assembly enacted a bill that increased the excise tax on
land transfers by one dollar per thousand. The state has dedicated
85 percent of tML revenues from this increase for parks and
recreation development. To date only about $200,000 has been set
aside for this purpose for the entire state. The resolution being
presented for the board's adoption is to encourage the State to use
these funds for recreation and parks as intended and not to go into
the General Fund where it previously has been placed.
Commissioner Madison said he would trust the legislators at
Raleigh to do what is right in this concern and he would MOVE that
the board not adopt this resolution.
In discussion of the motion Commissioner Johnson said he could
not support the resolution as it appeared to call for increasing
tax revenues coming to the county and he could not support such a
move.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
LAKE VISTA - LETTER OF CREDIT: Mr. Lundy discussed this L/C
with the board. The letter of credit is for $70,000 and was issued
to cover the cost of street improvements and the necessary
engineering/surveying costs.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the Letter of
Credit in the amount of 70,000 drawn by Lincoln Bank of NC.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
