WHEREAS, the "Articles of Association' designates the signatory official for the Consortium and the administrative/fiscal agent to administer the program on behalf of the Consortium, and requests certification of the current Centralina Workforce Development Board as the local "Workforce Investment Board" as required by the Act; now, therefore it is RESOLVED, that the execution of the aforesaid "Articles of Association and Agreement for the Centralina Workforce Development Consortium' by our Chairman is ratified and adopted by this Board. UPDATE ON THE YEAR 2000 (Y2K) PREPARATIONS: Mr. Mashburn said that much had been written and broadcasted about the year 2000. He mentioned that with so much information and so many people talking about potential problems that citizens could easily become confused. With this in mind, he suggested that a committee be created to look at Iredell County for the purpose of determining what might need to be done for precautionary purposes. Mr. Mashburn said if nothing else, the committee could create a public service announcement advising the county citizenry to be prepared but not to over react. Mashburn said many people were saying that even without Y2K that citizens should be prepared for a two -three day emergency. He mentioned snow and ice storms as an example. He also said that most people had enough food items and alternative heating sources to sustain them for this length of time. Mashburn said a county commissioner, a banker, a utility industry representative, a law enforcement representative, a hospital representative, and a member of the emergency preparedness department might be some members for the committee. Commissioner Johnson asked if the EMS bases had back up generators. Mashburn said they did not. Commissioner Stewart said that last year during the budget she had suggested the purchase of generators but they were eliminated. Mr. Mashburn said they were being requested this year. The board directed the county manager to share a recommended membership listing prior to the next meeting.
