The meeting was called to order by Chairman Haire who asked
the county manager to discuss the items listed on the agenda for
today's meeting. Mr. Mashburn said he first wanted to present the
proposed 1995-96 budget to the board for its review. He
highlighted the budget message, essentially saying that the
proposed budget for fy 1995-96 is $58,258,600. The Solid Waste
Disposal Enterprise fund is $3,333,659.
Expenditures for 94-95 were 3.58 below the 94-95 projections
and means we will not have to use the Fund Balance Appropriated for
94-95, which was $3.5 million.
Mr. Mashburn said there is a strong economy and an inflation
rate of 38 or less, which represents a very healthy economy. The
unappropriated fund balance is 14.188 or over $8 million. Mr.
Brent Weisner, Tax Assessor, said the real and personal property in
Iredell County will have a value of $5.8 billion. This is a 7.598
increase over the present fiscal year. Approximately 4.458 of this
is due to revaluation and 3.58 is new construction.
The major increases in the budget are in the finance
department for software upgrade, the courts for fire alarm system
and asbestos abatement. There is also a $10,000 allocation for
office space in Mooresville. The Engineering Department was left
in the budget, but plans are to put in the work of this department
in other areas since the engineer has left the staff.
The capital request for the law enforcement is for building
rental for Mooresville/South Iredell. The social services has
10.88 increase; the county's share of this is 5.18.
There has been a Capital Reserve Fund established for the
Lowe's Center fund of $875,000.
School funding for the Current Expense is $834; which is up
from $794 or a 58 increase over last year. The state is proposing
a 48 increase in salaries; realistically it is expected to be about
28 increase, Mashburn said.
In Human Resources, there has been a 28 across-the-board
increase in pay and $300,000 in the merit pay. There were 11 new
positions requested and six of these positions are recommended.
