unit. The inmates housed here would have to be misdemeanants.
Sheriff Redmond reminded everyone that the North Carolina prison
cap was being lifted soon.
Mr. Mashburn said it would be difficult to place two
separate modular units close to the present jail site. He
reminded everyone about the Shelton Avenue (IGA) facility;
however, the drawbacks here are that the food would have to be
transported and plumbing would have to be done.
Sheriff Redmond mentioned electronic monitoring. The State
will discuss this next week with the sheriff's department.
Dowdle mentioned that the current equipment they have for the
monitoring will have to be modified.
The county manager requested that a surveyor or engineer
look at the area around the jail for the best placement of a
modular unit(s). The information obtained will be brought back
to the January 16 meeting.
Commissioner Boone asked if bids would have to be solicited
for the modular units. Blumenstein answered that if the project
is under $50,000 and deemed construction, that bids would not be
required; however, if the project is not deemed construction and
the work is over $20,000 then bids are required.
REVIEN OF DRAFT RFPB FOR IREDELL COUNTY NONE NEALTE
TRANSFER: The county manager explained the draft proposals
submitted for the transfer of the home health agency.
Commissioner Madison said that his main intentions on the
sale of this agency were to protect the County and to protect
against future indigent care.
Commissioners Boone and Johnson stated that they would like
the commitment to indigent care in the RFP to be stronger. Janet
Blaufuss said it was her understanding that the home health
agency could revert back to the County in the future.
Commissioner Boone said there was a reversionary clause in the
Iredell Memorial agreement.
The county manager stated that he would like to see the RFPs
go out by the end of this month. Past discussions centered on
closing out this transfer by the end of this fiscal year.
Commissioner Madison said that he didn't want to rush the
process. If the transfer went into FY 96-97 this was alright.
He wanted to make sure the sale was done right. The county
manager mentioned that for the home health employees it would be
best to get the transfer done as soon as possible.
It was decided to establish a working committee to review
this process and establish some criteria for the RFPs. This
committee will meet and a report of findings will be given at the
January 16 meeting.
Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
