REQUEST FROM IREDELL COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD, INC., FOR LOAN
ASSISTANCE ($859000): Bill Sherrill, Assistant Chief with the Iredell County Rescue Squad,
advised of the need for a new ambulance. The county finance director determined that $9,200 could
be saved if the County borrowed the money rather than the rescue squad. The county would then
lease the vehicle and equipment. Payments on the loan could be deducted from the special
appropriation to the squad.
Stewart asked who would have the liability for the vehicle. Blumenstein said everything
would need to be stipulated in the lease agreement.
Commissioner Johnson asked about costs associated with the vehicle, e.g., tags. Mr. Sherrill
said the squad would assume these costs.
