BUDGET PRESENTATION FOR 1996-97
Mr. Mashburn mentioned this was the ninth budget he had
presented in Iredell County. Revenue projections for the upcoming
year continue to be optimistic.
The county manager stated that the 96-97 budget is less than
a 1 percent increase over 95-96 (general fund). (The home health
sale might make the figures look misleading.)
Notable information included in the 96-97 budget mentioned by
Mr. Mashburn was:
- Law enforcement asked for 10 new positions and 7 have been
recommended.
- Inspections requested 3 new positions and 2 are
recommended.
- It is recommended that the mapping dept. receive $200,000
for aerial photography. In order to have the whole County
photographed by revaluation time it is necessary to
initiate this work in the upcoming budget. It is customary
to have this done once every five years, and the work was
last done,in 1992.
- A contracted position is recommended for the health
department to provide Hispanic/Latino interpretation in the
immunization program.
- A 4 percent salary increase is recommended for county
employees.
- Current expense for schools has been increased by 8 percent
and capital outlay has been increased by 7.8 percent.
Mitchell Community College is recommended to receive
$250,000 for special capital outlay.
- The construction work for the Mooresville Transfer Station
should be bid out soon. A $3.00 per ton transport fee on
all commercial haulers is recommended.
The recommended tax rate remains at 45 cents per $100
valuation. This is based on a value of $6,043,048,420 and
a tax collection rate of 963.
