many people did not understand why a $300,000 fire truck was responding to a medical
call. He said it probably took $10,000 a year to run the program.
Commissioner Madison asked if the VFD had ever approached the Town of
Mooresville about contracting out for some of the calls
Robinson said no.
Barrer said that eventually through annexation, the district would be lost to the
Town of Mooresville. He also pointed out that the Gabriel Estates Subdivision was
situated directly across from the Shepherds VFD, but the development was not within
the station's fire protection district.

REQUEST FROM THE IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS FOR
APPROVAL OF A 2003-2004 CAPITAL OUTLAY AMENDMENT: Iredell-
Statesville Superintendent Dr. Tent' Holliday, Maintenance Services Director Dr.
Kenny Miller, and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Steve Lane requested approval of a 2003-
04 capital outlay amendment. Superintendent Holliday said the amendment was being
requested to provide for year-end maintenance projects, and the funding would come
from savings realized from wastewater projects. He said that in addition, the system
had received funding of $116,000 ($25,000 from the Mooresville Graded Schools for
the bus garage addition, $30,000 from the state for right-of-ways, and $61,000 in sales
tax refunds).
Dr. Miller shared a Capital Outlay Five Year Plan. (The system had previously
submitted detailed information regarding the FY 03-04 capital outlay budget
amendment.) In regards to Celeste Henkel Elementary, Miller said boiler repair funds
were in this year's budget. He said the boiler would basically be overhauled and all
piping would be cleaned. Pertaining to Scotts Elementary, he said a new septic field
had been constructed and some savings were realized from this project. Dr. Miller said
he hoped the City of Statesville would move forward on the pump station near Ebenezer
Elementary.
Finance Director Blumenstein said the amendment involved no new money, and
it was basically being used to transfer funds from one source to another.
