the individual farmers, I make a motion to instruct the county
manager to issue a letter to the appropriate committee of the North
Carolina General Assembly to the effect that should an Iredell
County site be selected for the location of the regional
agricultural facility, that Iredell County will commit up to
$167,000 toward the cost of land acquisition for this site.
In discussion of the motion, Commissioner Boone said the
original proposal was approximately $600,000, and this motion
represents basically a compromise proposal and is much better than
the original proposal, but my idea is more like 11011, he said.
Commissioner Johnson said, as stated earlier, they asked us to
commit to $600,000 with lack of any statistical evidence that we
would recover our investment in any reasonable length of time, I
thought that was an unreasonable request. There still is no
statistical evidence to substantiate how long it would take to
recover this cost, but it will be substantially shorter than the
recovery of the $600,000. I don't know the economic value of this
thing long term for Iredell County, and that is the reason I was
reluctant to go with the original request. This is not the best we
could do, but I can live with it.
Commissioner Stewart said, "Ditto, Ditto, Ditto."
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Boone).
REQUEST FOR SURPLUS EMERGENCY SERVICES PROPERTY: The
Mooresville Rescue Squad has requested the County donate two
surplus stretchers that we have on hand. General Statutes permits
these types of transactions to the rescue squad without having to
follow the procedural requirements for disposition of surplus
property. The value of these stretchers is approximately $50. A
resolution was submitted to the board for its consideration.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to adopt the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, the County of Iredell has possession of the following
items of personal property which are surplus to its needs and
desires to dispose of same.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners
of Iredell County, that since the Mooresville Rescue Squad has
requested the following equipment, it shall be transferred to that
unit as provided in G. S. 160A-273 at 110" cost.
Two (2) Patient Stretchers
