One -Stop Voting: Commissioner Johnson requested that at the Winter Planning
Session, the staff submit financial estimates for the creation of a one-stop voting center
in Mooresville.
Chairman Tice said several North Iredell citizens had also mentioned the need to
have a similar site located somewhere between Harmony and Union Grove.
It was agreed that the staff would provide voting site cost estimates for both
areas of the county.
COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT
(A written activity report was distributed.)
Local Government Seminar: County Manager Mashburn said a seminar on
North Carolina local government would be offered February 27, March 6 and
March 13, 2006, at Mitchell Community College's campus in Mooresville. He said
anyone interested could attend, but newcomers from out-of-state might especially find
the seminar informative.
EMS Transport Statistics: County Manager Mashburn referenced page F2 in
the activity report dealing with EMS patients who had not been transported to a medical
facility. He said it was anticipated the EMS department would make about 13,000 calls
this year, and so far, 2,424 of these had resulted in a non -transport for some reason
(deceased, cancelled en route, no patient found, patient refused). Mashburn said 261/0
of calls wound up being a non -transport, and when this happened, no revenue was
generated.
EMS Director Lee Darnell, who was serving as the meeting's host, said he had
spoken to officials in 10 or 12 other counties, along with city EMS providers, and the no
transport percentage was not out of the ordinary. He said in some areas, the percentage
was much higher. Darnell said occasionally, and this was not reported in the activity
summary, patients were given medicine by the medics at the scene. He said even
though there might not be a transport, a fee was then charged. Mr. Darnell said he
continuously tried to stay abreast of the transport/non transport data.
ADJOURNMENT: OTIO by Chairman Tice to adjourn the meeting at
7:50 P.M. NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, November 1, 2005, 5 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. in
the Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street, Statesville, NC.
