a week and they do not have the room to hold that court in
Statesville.
Commissioner Boone said it would be more convenient for all
the people involved in court to have it in Mooresville, such as
police, etc.
The board, by consensus, agreed that Mr. Mashburn would pursue
checking on space.
GREATER SECURITY NEEDED IN THE COURT FACILITIES: Mr. Pope
inquired about the security at the Hall of Justice and also at the
Mooresville Courtroom.
CONTRACT WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM TO HANDLE ENGINEERING FOR
THE COUNTY: Mr. Mashburn said it was not his intent to recommend
that the county hire another engineer. He is recommending that the
board have a retainer, similar to the county attorney retainer, to
take care of engineering matters on a day-to-day basis. Mr.
Mashburn distributed copies of a proposal from Municipal
Engineering Services for services (on an as -needed basis) at the
rates specified in the actual proposal.
He asked the board to consider this and act on it at the next
meeting.
JAIL FACILITY STUDY: Mr. Mashburn said he asked J. N. Pease
to submit a contract for the board's review, following the last
meeting of the board when the Jail Facility was discussed. This
contract will be on the next agenda of the board.
CHANGE IN PROCEDURES FOR INSPECTIONS OFFICE: Mr. Mashburn
said this has been a very heavy year in new construction in the
county, and the Inspections Department continues to have heavy
demands placed upon it. The report for April 1995 reflects that
the department had about 150 inspections daily.
In the past the procedures have been if the person wants the
service the next day, all they would need to do is call at night
and leave a message on the recorder, and the request would be met
the following working day. However, with the additional new
construction, the department is no longer able to expedite the
inspections that quickly. The department now says if a person
makes a request prior to 4:30 p.m., the inspection will be
guaranteed for the following day. If a person calls on the phone
after that time and leaves a message on the recorder, they cannot
guarantee the inspection the following day as in the past. The
department is still giving 24-hour service, but they are not able
to fulfill the tape recorder messages the following day as they
have in the past. This is the new procedure for the department
instead of hiring additional people for the additional construction
work at this time.
No board action required.
MITCHELL CONMUNITY COLLEGE - MAY 30, 1995: Mr. Mashburn said
the board would be receiving an invitation to a live demonstration
of the N. C. Information Highway on Wednesday, May 10, 1995, at
11:00 at Catawba Valley Community College. Mitchell Community
College was selected as a site and was given a grant of $68,000.
About 40 officials from county are invited to show off the
Information Highway project.
