VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
(All items were explained during the briefing session.)
1. Request from the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education for Approval of a
Predevelopment Agreement with First Choice Public -Private Partners (Moseley Architects
& English Construction Company) for Presbyterian Road Elementary: Superintendent Dr.
Terry Holliday said new legislation allowed predevelopment agreements for new schools as long
as they received approval by the Local Government Commission. He said to his knowledge,
Iredell and Cumberland were the only counties ready to pursue this type of public-private
partnership. Holliday said the Moseley Architectural firm would use a previously used building
design prototype to bid out a facility to house 950 students. He said if there were changes in the
law the payments would be locked -in, but if a lower interest rate could be found, a refinancing
was permissible.
2. Request for Approval of the March 2007 Refunds and Releases: County Manager
Joel Mashburn advised that Tax Administrator Bill Doolittle had presented the following refunds
and releases for approval.

3. Request for Approval of a Letter Advising of Opposition to Senate Bill 1492 (Solid
Waste Management Act of 2007) as Proposed by the NC Dept. of Environment & Natural
Resources (DENR): Solid Waste Director Lambert said Senate Bill 1492 and House Bill 1233,
if approved by the legislature, would have serious adverse effects on the landfill operation, and
he requested that a letter of opposition be sent to the county's legislative delegation. He said the
legislation came after a year-long moratorium on landfills, and the new law would make it cost
prohibitive for counties to operate enterprise facilities which would only leave mega -landfills.
Lambert said DENR was proposing a $2 per ton surcharge on the solid waste disposal tipping fee
for landfills/transfer stations, and this would impose an additional burden on the county's
citizens.
4. Request for the Staff to Send a Letter to the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS)
Advising that Iredell County was not Interested in Participating in a Project to Extend
Commuter Rail Service to Mount Mourne: The staff will draft this letter as requested. (See
briefing minutes for additional information.)
5. Request for Approval of the April 2 & April 3, 2007 Minutes
