MOSQUITO ABATEMENT AT ILLEGAL TIRE DUMP SITE IN IREDELL COUNTY
ON L. L. GUY PROPERTY, BA 031: Mr. Mashburn said under the
county's general authority, they can abate a nuisance. He proposed
(1) that the county purchase equipment for about $1350 and the
spray chemicals to eradicate the mosquito population at the tire
dump site, or (2) that the county borrow Mecklenburg County's
spraying equipment and return it to Mecklenburg over the period of
the summer. He asked the board to authorize an expenditure up to
$2,000 for mosquito abatement at this site and allow the staff to
work the next couple of weeks to try to determine the best way to
handle this problem.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve Budget Amendment
031, permitting the expenditure of $2,000 from Contingency to
General Government for the expenditure of mosquito abatement, as
recommended by the county manager.

COUSTY MANAGER 18 REPORT
COURT FACILITIES AT TOWN OF MOOREBVILLB: Mr. Mashburn
reported that Mooresville has had problems because the Courts are
requiring more space than the Town has available. A study done at
the request of the Administrative Division of the Courts mentions
the need to transfer part of the courts to Mooresville. Courts are
now meeting three days a week in Mooresville, but there is not
enough adequate office space.
Rick McLean and Joel Mashburn have been discussing this
problem and have concluded that if additional space is provided for
the Courts in the Mooresville Town Office Building, sometng else
will have to be moved out of the town office. The Cihity is under no
legislative obligation to provide office space for the courts, but
they don't mind providing what they have. They do not want to
build additional space.
Mr. McLean and Mr. Mashburn discussed moving probation and
parole out of the City Hall, which now occupies three offices.
This would allow the clerk of court and the judges to take over
those three offices. This would mean that the County would have to
provide space outside the City Hall for the probation and parole
offices.
Mooresville discussed this at their meeting on 5/1/95, and
they felt if it is necessary to have someone come in and go a

Mr. Mashburn asked for the board's authorization to check on
space in and around the Mooresville Town Hall building that could
be rented to provide space for probation and parole. it is the
county's responsibility to provide space for the courts, Mr.
Mashburn said.
Commissioner Stewart inquired if there was a legal obligation
to hold court in Mooresville. Mr. Mashburn said he knew of none;
however, there is a long history of providing court facilities in
