The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met at 4:00 p.m.,
Thursday, June 15, 1995, South Wing Conference Room, Iredell County
Government Center, Statesville, NC to work on the 1995-96 annual
budget. Those present for the meeting were:

David A. Boone, Vice Chairman
Stephen D. Johnson
C. Douglas Madison, Jr.
Alice M. Stewart
Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager
Susan Blumenstein, Director of Finance and

OFFICE RENTAL FOR THE COURTS SYSTEM: Mr. Mashburn reported
that the County has received a request from the Courts for
additional office rental space. They have identified space in the
vicinity of the Hall of Justice for approximately $16,800 annually.
This includes rental, utilities and cleaning. The actual rent will
be from $800 to $900 a month. The owner will bring the offices up
to the handicapped accessibility standards, Mr. Mashburn said.
This is a request to add $16,800 additional to the Courts budget.
The County plans to utilize some of the used furniture that is on
hand to furnish the offices. It was the consensus of the board
that this amount be added to the Courts budget for 95-96.
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS: Mr. Mashburn reported on the
further investigation of this matter. The Mayor of Statesville
said the City Council might be willing to rethink this request for
a policeman at the Statesville Senior High School location. The
County Schools System is budgeting $30,000 for three high schools
in the county and $15,000 for the City of Statesville High School.
The county would be picking up the difference for the three county
high schools and they are requesting that the City of Statesville
pick up the difference between what the school system is funding
and the actual cost. Also Mooresville Schools were contacted to
question if they were interested in having a School Resource
Officer. Dr. Brice Cummings, assistant superintendent, said they
are looking into this. However, they do not know what the City of
Mooresville would do about picking up the other one-half of the
cost.
* It was decided that the $45,000 would be moved in Special
See Appropriations and removed from the Sheriff's budget.

The board members decided they would try this School Resource
Officers program for one more year.
IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS: Dr. Register of the iredell-
Statesville Schools and William Barnard came to the board regarding
a letter of intent of funding for the Lake Norman Elementary School
from the County. The school system must have this letter before
they can award the construction bids for the Lake Norman Elementary
School. There is a three-year plan for funding this project. The
low bid for the project is $5,777,839.
Commissioner Boone inquired about the County's legal position
in this matter. He inquired what commitment the schools were
asking for at this time. Mr. Barnard explained that they must have
the letter of intent for funding from the county before they can
award the bids for the school.
*Per Finance Officer, it was decided
to leave the 3 officers in the
Sheriff's budget and budget $30,000 from School System Reimb.
