ORDINANCE: Mr. Mashburn said county property had been damaged recently by individuals
using the grounds for skateboarding and line skating. Also, litter has become a problem. Mashburn
said that at the present time, the county had no real mechanism to deal with the problem. The county
attorney was recently asked to draft an ordinance.
Commissioner Bowles said he understood the county needed to protect taxpayers' property,
but that citizens should feel they were welcome to visit the government center, especially since the
building was a historical courthouse. Bowles said he would prefer an ordinance that was inclusive
enough where the Statesville police could use their own judgment about mischievous behavior.

Commissioner Johnson said the public should have some sense of ownership in a public
building.
Commissioner Stewart mentioned the noise ordinance and the fact that law enforcement had
a difficult time aiding the public because the ordinance didn't have any "teeth." She said that any
public property ordinance, if adopted, should be drafted in a way that could be easily interpreted and
enforced.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to postpone any action on the public property
ordinance.
