ON WATER SEWER LINE EXTENSION): Commissioner Stewart said she had been asked by West Iredell Water why the well was still being treated. The county manager and Commissioner Boone advised that any well that was a public water system had to be tested periodically. Mr. Mashburn said the school system was treating the water because of the lead being picked up in the pipes. Commissioner Stewart said the water was being treated in the well prior to being flushed into the pipes. Mr. Mashburn said the most logical place to put the chemicals would be the well. MOTION by Commissioner Boone to send the Sharon Elementary School well and water findings from the Iredell-Statesville School System and the Iredell County Health Department to the West Iredell Water Corporation. (Request of funds denied.) VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. NEW BUSINESS: Commissioner Johnson stated that recently the finance director had faxed revenue models pertaining to school funding. He requested that the board members review the material. The model included the appropriation of $2.5 million to the schools along with the $625,000 continuation money. If the commissioners choose to use the funding formula, the fund balance will be reduced to 12%. Mr. Johnson said if the Board used the model for the next year that water sewer funding projects, etc., would have to be limited. Commissioner Stewart asked how the fund balance would affect bond ratings. Blumenstein said the Local Government Commission (LGC) required 8%. The LGC recommends an average of like -size counties which is currently 16%. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT: Mr. Mashburn shared the following: • The commissioners will receive the FY 98-99 budgets on May 5, 1998. • A letter has been received from Piedmont Pathology Associates, Inc., advising that as of June 1, 1998, this corporation will no longer perform the duties as medical examiners or regional pathologists for Iredell County. A problem stems from the fact that the State of North Carolina has not increased autopsy/investigative fees in a long time. Mr. Mashburn said he would keep the Board updated on the matter. • The NCACC has asked county managers to inquire with the board members about rescheduling the primary election date. Several commissioners advised that this would create a hardship on the candidates.
