This ordinance being duly adopted this the 16th day of March 1993. In discussing the vote, Commissioner Boone said he was voting against the Capital Projects Ordinance because he was opposed to the Certificates of Participation financing. He asked the record to reflect that and cited the $381,000 listed as costs for preparation of the documents for issuance as an example of his opposition to the matter. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Boone). PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF WALNUT AND MEETING: STREETS: Mr. Carson Fisher, staff engineer, presented this item to the board. The parking lot was originally constructed on the basement level of a masonry building. Portions of the retaining walls were formerly walls of the building which were left as retainer walls. The walls are starting to fail, and Mr. Fisher was recommending some changes, which were to tear down the walls that need repair and construct an earthen embankment, to reconstruct the walls with a similar type structure, to fill in the entire parking lot and then resurface, or to leave it as it is. The cost of filling in and resurfacing will cost approximately $40,000, which is the recommendation. There was $26,573 allotted in the Maintenance budget for this project. This would require additional funds. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to authorize the filling and paving as Mr. Fisher has suggested, with a maximum expenditure of $40,000, which would require a Budget Amendment $30 for $13,427 from Contingency to the Maintenance Budget for this work. VOTING: Ayes - 2 (Madison, Haire) Nayes - 3 (Hamby, Stewart, Boone) DINKY FRAI8ER AMD WIFE, NANCY R. FRAZIER, APPEAL OF TAX ASSESSMENT: Mr. Brent Weisner, Tax Assessor, presented this to the board. The taxes that were discovered on this property came from a discovery on Queen City Rentals. The audit began on January 1990. For some reason the bill was not issued until November 1990. In the meantime, the Fraziers had purchased the pioperty and Queen City Rentals had gone bankrupt in December of 1990. The Fraziers purchased this property approximately six weeks before the bill went out. A petition was received from the Fraziers, and Mr. Weisner said the facts were correct. When they purchased the property they had no way of knowing an audit was in the process. The Board does have the authority to compromise this bill, and it is Mr. Weisner's recommendation that the Board be receptive to making an adjustment to this bill in view of the circumstances. The amount of taxes is $21,191.75, Mr. Weisner said. The amounts for Mooresville, Mooresville Schools, and Iredell County will be in the next Releases. Mr. Joe Ketchie, Tax Collector, was present and recommended forgiving the assessment.
