CENTRAL, SCHOOL ROOF: Commissioner Fortner said she had talked with Dr. Julia
Williams in reference to reports about the roof at Central School being faulty. Fortner said she had
learned the school system would have the roof completely replaced this summer. The school system
is still holding a construction company retainer, and there will be no cost involved in the roof
replacement.
UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS FROM JIM VERNON, DIRECTOR OF
SUPPORT SERVICES:
Stumpf Creek Park: Recently, an air curtain incinerator was found to burn debris on site.
(It will be rented from an individual in Lincoln County.) The North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources & Environment approves of this method and a permit is not necessary. The National
Guard had a drill recently and the unit installed a 42- inch culvert.
Boggs Motor Co. Property Vernon said progress was being made, and a survey was recently
completed. The county attorney now has to piece together 18 different parcels that encompass the
site.
Bryant Property: The staff is reviewing the building/property and trying to determine the
best usage.
New Agricultural Center: The city recently approved $200,000 for water/sewer extension
and will handle the bid process. Discussions have occurred with the state engineer about the
rerouting of the sewer line. Originally, "the line was to be brought up Hill Street from an outfall
line running parallel to and to the east of Bristol Drive." If this occurred, the county would have
to build a lift station. Approximately $120,000-139,000 would be required extra to accommodate
a gravity flow system. Vernon said the county might want to review the pump lift station, especially
if the city approved a maintenance agreement.
The state construction department has advised it will seek bids for the initial site work and
three buildings on May 25, 1999. About $6 million is estimated for expenditures.
Commissioner Fortner asked if a drainage basin had been discussed with the state
representatives. Vernon said the state architect had changed the plans several times. The latest plan
shows a permanent stormwater runoff catch basin. It would be adjacent to the main entrance (just
to the north of the county's property). He said this space could be used for additional parking, horse
rings, etc. Vernon said he had discussed having the basin on county property. He said there were
some "springheads" on this property that might be used to build a permanent pond. Maintained at
a proper level, a pond could serve as a stormwater runoff basin and for beautification. A letter will
be sent from the state about the matter.
Brawley School Road Rights of Way: Vernon said agreements had been entered into with
all of the property owners that had been assigned to the county. The Town of Mooresville is
pursuing some of the property owners.
Central Transfer Station: All of the permitting has been done. Vernon said one more
inspection of the septic field design was needed. The facility should be operational by late summer.
Vernon said this station would be 16 miles from the 901 facility. He predicted high usage.
Commissioner Stewart said west Iredell residents were asking when a similar facility might
be constructed in that area. Mashburn said if the community would help to identify an area it would
be helpful. He added an ideal tract would be approximately two acres, at road level, sloping to the
back, and in a convenient location.
