DISCUSSION OF TRANSFER STATION MODIFICATIONS AT SOUTH IREDELL:
Mr. Jim Woodie of the Municipal Engineering Company was present to
discuss the plans for the modification of the transfer station on
Highway 150 in South Iredell County. The County must ask for a
Conditional Use permit from the Mooresville Planning Board and the
Town of Mooresville prior to the work beginning at the site. In
order for the Conditional Use permit to be issued, the County must
submit a site plan. The drawing submitted for approval by the
county board of commissioners today is a site plan showing the
planned location of the transfer station and the road that is to be
built.
There was a discussion regarding the water line. It is
recommended by the engineers that a 6" water line be installed for
a fire hydrant at the transfer station. Also the street has curb
and guttering, which makes the cost higher. This was questioned by
some of the commissioners. It was stated that the road is supposed
to be turned over to the Town of Mooresville once the work has been
completed and that the curb and guttering is a requirement of the
Town.
Mr. Ron Weatherman said the county presently handles 150 tons
of garbage daily at the transfer station. He expects that it will
increase to 300 tons a day.
Commissioner Madison inquired about the demolition of the
existing facility. Mr. Weatherman said he thought his crew could
dismantle the building without any outside costs.
It was questioned by the board members why the estimated cost
is so much higher than the budgeted amount, which was $700,000.
The additional road costs and the water line were costs that were
mentioned. The site plan shows boxes for recycling. Mr.
Weatherman said we do not have the recycling boxes, and they will
have to be purchased.
In addition to the capital costs for building the station,
there will be additional costs for operating the facility. Mr.
Weatherman projects that it will take three people to operate the
facility. A question arose about the extra hours that the transfer
station stays open.
There is $1.9 in the Enterprise Fund Balance, according to
Susan Blumenstein. She said there should be at least 10% of the
total budget reserved in a fund balance. There is no reserve
presently for depreciation of any of the landfill equipment, which
would be used to replace the equipment when it becomes necessary to
replace it.
