determination needed to be made on the payout method. She said currently, the VFDs were paid
1/12`h of their annual appropriation each month.
Stewart said the truck was the major expense.
It was then decided that an invoicing method would be used, and payment to Trinity
could occur through direct deposit.
Commissioner Johnson asked how much the fire tax one -cent generated.
Commissioner Williams said $838,000.
Phillips said one more VFD, probably Ebenezer, could be assisted this year.
Goodman added that a third VFD, with a smaller need, might also be included.
REQUEST TO CALL FOR AN ELECTION ON THE QUESTION OF
CREATING THE TROUTMAN FIRE DISTRICT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
G.S. 69-25.1: Assistant County Manager Tracy Jackson presented a map outlining the proposed
new fire district. He said the fire department officials had requested for the district to be
identified on the election ballots as the Troutman Fire District rather than the Barringer and
Fallstown (B & F) Fire District to avoid confusion.
Tax Administrator Bill Doolittle submitted a verification memo that stipulated the
petition names had been verified. He said the petition exceeded the required 35% resident
freeholders.
Attending the meeting to answer questions regarding the election were Troutman VFD
Chief Allen Church and representative Keith Troutman.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN NC 3 CORRIDOR STUDY (AREA
BETWEEN MOORESVILLE & KANNAPOLIS) COST WILL BE $47,638 BUT WILL BE
SHARED EQUALLY WITH TOWN OF MOORESVILLE, CITY OF KANNAPOLIS AND
CABARRUS COUNTY. Planning Director Ron Smith said the NC 3 Corridor Study would be
beneficial, and the county's cost of $11,842 could be paid out of his budget. He recommended
approval due to the study area having key intersections.
Commissioner Robertson said he understood Iredell County would not be bound by any
of the recommendations.
Smith said this was correct, and the state department of transportation (DOT) would not
be bound either.
Robertson asked if the study would elevate Iredell County's road needs on the DOT
priority list.
Smith said it would help by providing more credibility, but not necessarily move the
county's needs up higher.
Commissioner Johnson said the land topography might dictate the best governmental
entity to provide water sewer.
Smith said the corridor study would not address water sewer, and it would be a while
before this type of utility was in the area.
Commissioner Tice said the Town of Mooresville had extended lines to the DEI (Dale
Earnhardt Inc.) site, and the area was growing.
Robertson requested for the study to list doable projects. He said an "action list" should
be included.
