COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT: County Manager Mashburn gave
information about the following items.
1. Public Officials' Meeting Sponsored by the N C Department of Transportation:
This meeting was held on February 28, 2002 and concerned improvements to be
made along I-77 in south Iredell. The improvements involve the interchange at
SR 1109 -Williamson Road, the relocation of SR 1245 -Centre Church Road, and
the construction of a new interchange near SR 1102-Langtree Road.
2. Quick Response Vehicle (QRV) Site: Funding was approved for a QRV this
budget year, with the vehicle to be situated in the Brawley School Road area.
Discussions about stationing the QRV at the Mooresville Rescue Squad site have
occurred, but nothing has been worked out. Currently, the vehicle is stationed at
the Mooresville EMS base.
North Carolina Road Assistance Pilot Program: The North Carolina Department
Transportation (NCDOT) has chosen Iredell County as one of the pilot counties
for a non -system, unpaved road program. A total amount of $105,000 will be
available and the money may be used to improve approximately 3.5 miles of road.
The NCDOT is trying to improve roads that do not qualify for state maintenance,
and the work will include grading, drainage work, and supplying stone. The
work will not bring the roads up to state standards, and it will be on a "first-
come first -serve basis." Applications are available with the DOT, and Clay
Lunsford is the contact person.
4. Scrap Tire Disposal Funds: The county will receive $22,156 in Scrap Tire
Disposal Funds. This money is part of the disposal fee that is collected when
tires are purchased.

for the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce recently passed a resolution
requesting Governor Easley to return the funds being withheld that are due to
Statesville and Iredell County.
