Commissioner Madison stated, "I would like to make it very
clear that anyone voting for this motion is in fact voting to
increase the current expense of the Iredell-Statesville School
System by $118,000 for funding. We had negotiated a deal at a five
percent increase, and we are increasing this amount tonight with
this vote."
Commissioner Boone said he thought that next year the
commissioners should recognize that the $118,000 is an expansion
budget. It is not something that was included in last year's
budget. He said that money was being shifted from capital expense
to current expense. "I too question the wisdom of this, however,
this is basically a school board decision."
Commissioner Madison said this brings up the accountability
issue that was mentioned during June and July. "This is the kind
of lack of accountability that this commission has had with this
school board ever since I have been on here. Until we are willing
to hold the school board accountable for the way they spend their
funds, we might as well give them a blank check. We are not
holding them accountable. We are just saying what do you want, and
how do you want to do it. I think it is an abomination to the
citizens of Iredell County to treat their tax funds the way we are
treating them in this process tonight."
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1.
