Commissioner Boone asked for clarification on the motion. He
said it was his understanding the County would reimburse the Town
of Mooresville as the tax base was created and this included the
hospital. Chairman Haire said this was correct.
Commissioner Boone said the normal practice was to engage in
water sewer assistance for new industry. In this instance
(hospital), assistance is being given to the expansion of an
existing business. Boone mentioned the hospital would be built
regardless of the commissioners' decision and that some of the tax
base increase was being relinquished by this commitment. Utilities
will be extended and development will occur. This is speculative.
Other municipalities will have similar requests in the future. A
precedent would be set if the motion was approved.
Commissioner Johnson said that by structuring the mechanism
where reimbursement is made to the Town of Mooresville that
speculation is not being done. Johnson said he was satisfied that
$500,000 was nothing compared to the commercial development that
would soon occur in the area. In addition, Johnson said this type
of development educated the children of the County. He said he
would resist any effort to raise the tax rate. Expansion of the
tax base should satisfy the County needs, i.e., school facilities,
etc.

Davis Medical Center).

REQUEST FOR CHANGES IN LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FARM SERVICE
AGENCIES: Jim Vernon, during the briefing, stated the requested
changes were brought about by organizational restructuring. Tom
Dixon, the area developer for Rural Development (formerly FHA) also
attended the meeting. Dixon said the Farm Service Department
(formerly ASCS office) was expanding (could go to 10-12 people) and
that rural development was downsizing. The suggested plan is to
switch the office space used by the two agencies and to allow the
Cooperative Extension Service to obtain some additional space (two
offices).
