the rezoning requests for the evening meeting and then described
the request to revise the procedures used in non -owner petitions.
Currently four meetings are used and staff would like to shorten
this to two. Using this method, the staff will have more time to
review applications and increase the public notice requirement from
10 to 15 days.
Commissioner Boone asked how much trouble it would be to draft
a petition wherein if there was an 80% approval rate met these
could go on an expedited process. Anything lower should proceed
through the regular process. Commissioner Madison said he felt
that certified letters should be sent to the people that did not
sign the petition.
Mr. Allison said he would revise the request, using the
suggestions, and bring it back to another meeting.
BRADLEY SCHOOL LARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Commissioners Boone and
Madison mentioned that the Board's concern about this plan should
be given to the planning board. This matter will be added to the
evening agenda.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE GRAVITY
SEDER EXTENSION/MOORBSVILLE TRANSFER STATION: Carson Fisher, Town
Engineer of Mooresville advised that Chairman Haire was requested
to sign the necessary right of way document for the gravity sewer
extension for the Mooresville Transfer Station. Bids have already
been requested for this project. It is a little behind schedule,
but nothing of significance.
REQUEST FROM IREDELL COUNTY LIBRARY TO PARTICIPATE IN
CHARLOTTE'S HER RURAL ACCESS PROJECT: Judy Clayton advised that
she thought this would be a very worthwhile project. A grant would
provide Internet access to the citizenry of Iredell County at the
library. All initial costs of hardware, software,
telecommunications, and installation would be paid with grant
monies. Clayton mentioned there would be no local costs during the
first year. Mooresville has already signed up to participate which
aids Iredell because of the telephone service between Mooresville
and Charlotte. Recurring costs, beginning July 1, 1997 would be $5
per day of library operation [telecommunications costs would be the
only recurring cost ($150 per month)]. Workstations (3) will be
provided. Educational software will be included at the station
located in the children's dept.
Commissioner Stewart asked about the possibility of hooking up
to the Internet when Mitchell College is on line. Clayton said
this was a possibility; however, it would probably be more
expensive.
REQUEST FROM AMERICAN RED CROSS FOR SURPLUS AMBULANCE: Evie
Caldwell mentioned the ambulance the Red Cross office was inquiring
about had been taken out of service. The vehicle needs extensive
body work, and at the present the County has no use for it.
Caldwell cited the statutes to follow in releasing the ambulance to
Red Cross.

County would prevail. The tax collector mentioned that he planned
