of $6,000 for Centralina's CED program; $4,192 for Centralina's Regional Planning
Project; and $13,448 for Centralina's NC 3 Corridor Study. It was also mentioned that 07-
08 would be the last year the county would have to reimburse Mecklenburg County for the
Meck-Neck properties.)
Statesville Airport: Commissioner Johnson said the airport's runway was not sufficient to
handle newer aircraft, e.g., Lowes' new plane. He said the statelfederal government had
promised a grant of $500,000 a year for three years, and this could be used for a new
runway overlay. Johnson said the city was willing to front the overlay costs if the county
agreed to delay or postpone the inter -local agreement reimbursements. He said no new
money was being asked from the county, and the only funding that would be lost was the
interest on the reimbursements. Johnson requested the board members to consider the
request, and he said more "concrete" information would be provided in the future.
Johnson also mentioned a 90/10 proposal between the city/county for airport fencing.
485 -Special Appropriations
NC Forestry Service: County Manager Mashburn said his recommendation for this
department was $52,853 rather than $49,095. He said the department needed a new truck,
and this accounted for the $3,758 increase.
Big Brother Big Sister: County Manager Mashburn said the local BBBS agency ceased to
exist; however, the $5,000 appropriation would remain in the budget. He said this was due
to the possibility that a new organization might operate the program
Mooresville Rescue Squad: County Manager Mashburn said the Town of Mooresville had
decreased funding to the Mooresville Rescue Squad due to the town's firemen now
providing first responder calls within the municipal limits. Mashburn said this would
decrease the county's appropriation to the squad because the funding formula was based on
the number of calls and the area served.
Fort Dobbs Alliance: This agency requested $20,000 and the manager's recommendation
was $10,000 (FY 06-07 level).
OTIO by Commissioner Robertson to increase the appropriation to the requested
amount of $20,000.
