HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_0260 (2)Commissioner Boone made mention to the fact that the limiting
of vehicles in residential districts is already addressed in the
ordinance.
Mr. Lundy advised that approval of this request would probably
make the majority of towers in Iredell County nonconforming.
Commissioner Madison asked if this would have any impact on
the Duke Power high lines and large utility poles.
Mr. Lundy advised that the current ordinance does not regulate
these lines. Research would have to be done to see if Iredell
County could regulate these.
Commissioner Stewart asked how many citizens contributed into
the input of the amendments at the planning board meeting on
7/7/93.
Mr. Lundy advised that one citizen was at the meeting.
Chairman Haire declared the public hearing closed.
MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to approve amendments to
Sections 80.3, 81.2, 82.2, 93.1, 93.3 & 95.1 in the Iredell County
Zoning Ordinance.
VOTING: Ayes - 1 (Stewart); Nays - 4.
REQUEST FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IMCWII POSITION POR IREDELL
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: Mr. Don Wall, DSS Director, advised that the
Social Services Board approved this position on 8-27-93. Reasons
for this request:
1. Generate more Medicaid revenue for Iredell Memorial Hosp.
2. Increase the percentages of patients eligible for
Medicaid.
3. Ensure that clients get the health care they qualify to
receive.
4. Eliminate barriers to preventive & primary health care. Every
dollar spent on prevention saves hundreds and thousands of
dollars later on.
Mr. Wall further advised that the total cost for a IMCII position
was $25,824. If approved, this employee would be stationed at Iredell
Memorial Hospital. The federal share (50%) is $12,912, & the non-
federal (50%) is $12,912. Mr. Arnold Nunnery, Iredell Memorial Hosp.
Administrator, was also present for the meeting and advised that the
hospital would pay the non-federal share for the position.
It was stated by Mr. Wall that the cost to the County for this
position would be $0.
Commissioner Boone asked if the employee would sign people up for
programs other than Medicaid.
Mr. Wall answered by law that the employee would have to take any
application that the client is eligible to receive. The person would
not be assisting in Food Stamps or state/county special assistance.
Mr. Nunnery advised that the hospital was very supportive of this
position, but he did not know how much money this position would
generate. They do not know how many people are not being enrolled who
are eligible. The hospital is willing to assist in funding as long as
the position is established.
Commissioner Madison asked Mr. Wall if he was prepared to initiate
this same type of request for the two other hospitals. He also asked
how much of the money in Medicaid was county money.
Mr. Wall responded yes -- he would present this same proposal if
the other hospitals requested. About five percent of the Medicaid money
is funded by the County.
