REQUEST OF IREDELL-STATESVILLE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR LOAN
OF $3.26 MILLION (tabled from April 11, 1998 meeting): Commissioner Johnson said he
understood that if the request was approved, the County would be borrowing 90% of the $3.26
million and that an appropriation for $326,000 would have to be included in the new budget. When
the County receives the bond money from the State ($3.26 million) the County will pay off the
remaining principal.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to grant the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education's
request and appropriate the $326,000 (shortfall) between the $3.26 million and the grant anticipation
note and to authorize the County Finance Officer to file an application with the Local Government
Commission.
Commissioner Boone said he thought the motion was actually two actions. Proceeding
with the loan application would be one motion, and the resolution of intent to spend another
$326,000 out of the FY 98-99 budget would be another. Boone asked that Johnson's motion be
divided and voted upon separately.
