REQUEST TO USE PLANNING FUNDS/RECREATION PARR FUND FOR STUMPY
CREEK SITES Gallyon stated the Recreation Advisory Board was
requesting the commissioners to set aside money to be used for
planning purposes. Commissioner Johnson said the southern
community was reluctant to make a commitment to the park plan until
the County made the first move. Some seed money is needed to get
the parks concept moving. A lease is currently in the legal
department of Duke Power. Johnson said he felt around $20,000
could be obtained from the Mooresville area, because there is
enthusiasm for this project.
DISCUSSION/REQUEST FOR FIRE HYDRANTS: Accompanying Chuck
Gallyon, the County Fire Marshal, were Rhonda Bost of West Iredell
Water Corporation, and Keith Snoddy of Iredell Water Corporation.
Gallyon mentioned that in the 1996-97 budget, $30,000 was allotted
for fire hydrants. The County's 19 volunteer fire departments were
asked how to distribute the money, but only 10 departments
responded. Gallyon and the Fire Commission recommended that 15
hydrants be installed at a cost of $2,000 each. (*There is a
hydrant currently at Wayside, however, the lines haven't been
opened. This hydrant will be the fifteenth.)
Mr. Mashburn mentioned that an agreement needed to be drafted
indicating that the County had permission to hook onto the water
companies. Also, the agreement should stipulate that from the date
of installation the water companies will maintain the hydrants.
Snoddy and Bost agreed with this recommendation.
Gallyon presented information on the actual fire hydrant
installation. The material described the fire hydrants to be
purchased and a description of the work to be performed by the
installing contractor.
Locations recommended for hydrant placement were:
1) Scotts Creek Road and Della Street
2) Harmony Highway (US 21) and Forest Oak Road
3) Memorial Hwy. (901) and Guilford Road
4) Memorial Hwy. (901) and Skyview Lake Road
5) Cooper Farm Road and Clearview Road
6) Reeves Road and Millstone Road
7) Jennings Road and Lentz Road
8) Highway 115 and Windy Hill Road
9) New Salem Road and Salem Meadow Drive
10) Cool Springs Road and Ferguson Road
11) Chestnut Grove Road and Allen Creek Road
12) Highway 115 and Midway Road
13) Highway 70 and Wind Forest Drive
14) Lippard Farm Road & Original Drive (across from Oak Tree Acres Imp)
*15) Wayside Road
REQUEST FOR INTERPRETER'S FEE AT THE HEALTH DEPT.: Ray Rabe,
health director, explained a $4 interpretor fee was recently
approved by the Board of Health. The fee, for 15 -minute segments
of time, will be used to assist the Hispanic population.
Currently, a substantial amount of money is being spent in
providing services for non-English speaking individuals. Services
will not, however, be refused if families cannot afford the fee.
COURT FACILITIES TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn mentioned this
group would be meeting February 20, 1997. He requested a trial
lawyer be added to the committee. A representative from this
profession could provide useful information about court facility
needs. Mashburn mentioned the local bar association might have a
recommendation.
Approved:
�' Clerk to the Board
