CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Haire
INVOCATION: Commissioner Johnson
ADJUSTMENT OF AGENDA: The county manager explained that Mr.
Bernie Reynolds had called Commissioner Johnson and requested to
address the board at 7:00 p.m. (Note: Mr. Reynolds did not show
up for the meeting.) The Workers Compensation Pilot Program was
approved by consensus at the briefing so it was pulled from the
agenda. Tower removal for jail expansion was pulled from the
agenda. (Mr. Larry Dickerson was instructed to proceed in his
work on this item, and a formal contract for tower removal will
be brought to the Board at a later date.) A request for approval
of a contract for recycling coordination in Iredell County was
removed from the agenda during the briefing session. Sewer
extension to the Mooresville Transfer Station was added to the
agenda.
MOTION by Commissioner Haire to accept the agenda changes.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
SHERIFF'S OFFICE EXPANSION: The county manager reiterated
that the Board had approved funds to expand the Bondurant
Building. After further discussion, however, it appears that the
most feasible location for the sheriff's office would be at the
corner of Tradd and Stockton Street. The grade of the land here
is more level and would eliminate the requirement for an
elevator. In addition, more office space for the same amount of
money would be derived from this action. Since this is a change
in location, the county manager requested approval for the new
siting.
MOTION by Commissioner Madison to approve the siting of the
new sheriff's facility at the corner of Stockton and Tradd Street
as proposed by Sheriff Redmond.
Commissioner Boone added that the County will be receiving
more building for the money with this proposal. Currently, the
County is renting space in the Exchange Bldg. and the Parlier
Bldg. for probation and asst. district attorney offices. If the
Board approves this option the Bondurant Bldg. could be used for
these offices which would save the County annually on lease money
paid out. This seems to be a win-win situation.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
