present use schedule.
Chairman Haire said one individual had approached her about obtaining a higher tax value
on his home and property. Weisner said this wasn't out of the ordinary, and when a homeowner
made this type of request it was handled the same way as a tax appeal. (The staff evaluates the
request and it later goes before the board of equalization and review.)
Weisner said he and another staff member (Jim Deaton) had prepared a program on the 1999
Reappraisal. Local civic clubs have been notified, and four presentations have already been
scheduled.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF VEHICLE BIDS (SHERIFF'S DEPT. / PLANNING &
ENFORCEMENT / MAINTENANCE / ANIMAL CONTROL / HEALTH / SOCIAL SERVICES / SOLID
WASTE: Evie Caldwell advised that all bids met or exceeded the specifications. In addition, all
purchases can be made within the budgeted amount. Caldwell said the sheriffs department was
scheduled to obtain 14 patrol vehicles. Since the bid specifications included an additional quantities
clause, she mentioned the need to replace a vehicle that had been totaled in a recent collision.
Caldwell said she made this notation in case 15 patrol vehicles were purchased.
REQUEST FROM SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR APPROVAL OF BUDGET
AMENDMENT #17 FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECOGNIZING REVENUE RECEIVED

REQUEST FROM HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH POSITION IN THE ON-SITE WASTEWATER PROGRAM: Ray Rabe said one
new environmental position had been approved in the 98-99 budget; however, the demand for septic
system inspections continued to increase.
Commissioner Fortner asked how soon a suitable employee could be found. Rabe said the
department hoped to find someone fully qualified. He added that once the staff returned to normal,
(one employee is out on medical leave) they hoped to have a turnaround time of a week to ten days.
Commissioner Johnson asked the current turnaround time. Sheeks said it was four weeks
in Mooresville and three in Statesville. Sheeks said the staff had been cooperative in putting in
overtime, however, they were becoming exhausted with the additional hours. (The staff has been
giving 12 hours per month in overtime.)
Rabe said he was convinced that another person was needed.
