Commissioner Johnson said he had been meeting with the rescue
squad members about the dissolution. The NIRS has asked for a
budget amendment in the amount of $97,000; however, the County is
only being requested to give $10,000. The remaining money
($87,000) will be in the form of a promissory note with payments
(balloon) due in 24-30 months. (The note is to be used to make
payments on the mortgaged building.)
The Iredell County Rescue Squad has agreed to appropriate 298
($23,000) of its fundalance to the North Iredell squad. Bill
Sherrill, a member(ICR 3 advised the check would be cut when the
actual split occurred ( my 1).
Commissioner Stewart asked how much money the County
appropriated to the Iredell Rescue Squad for FY 1996-97.
Blumenstein said the total was $97,135. If the dissolution occurs,
during 1997-98 the Iredell Rescue Squad is due to receive $70,470
and North Iredell would receive $28,943.
Commissioner Fortner advised that Centralina Council of
Governments might be able to assist in securing grant money.
Commissioner Stewart said that what started out as an amicable
split had turned into a staggering amount of money. Johnson
advised that neither side was entirely satisfied with the
settlement. Richard Renegar, a citizen of northern Iredell County
advised that more squad members would be serving the county. All
state requirements will be met.
Commissioner Boone asked if the promissory note would be
interest bearing. Blumenstein said yes.
Commissioner Johnson asked Larry Dickerson, Director of ECOM,
if his office could work with both squads. Dickerson said he did
not envision any problems. Johnson advised representatives of both
squads that he expected a spirit of cooperation to exist between
them.
PLANNING/SONING MATTERS: William Allison explained the
various public hearing matters. In reference to transmission
towers, he mentioned that a consultant (Benchmark, Inc.) had given
an opinion that counties should not become too involved in tower
regulations. Allison mentioned the current set back was 50% of the
tower height. This could be raised to 75% and this would require
larger tracts of land. Commissioner Stewart said she felt the
County needed to take a closer look at the set back distances.
Commissioner Johnson said an adequate amount of space needed to be
between towers.
