HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_0298 (2)MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to take the information/request
provided by Iredell Water Corporation under consideration.
Commissioner Madison asked Mr. Snoddy the time frame he was
working on with FmHA.
Mr. Snoddy said the plans were completely finished. He said
they were looking within 30-45 days to let bids. They are already
behind schedule.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the hydrants would be included
in the FmHA loan if they were not funded by the County.
Mr. Shoddy said they would not include the hydrants unless
they are funded in some way by the County.
MOTION by Commissioner Madison to fund the nine (9) hydrants
from the fire district tax fund balance. This will be Budget
Amendment 13A.
Commissioner Stewart withdrew her previous motion pertaining
to this matter.
Commissioner Boone again said that the Fire Commission had
discussed this matter but had not agreed to fund the hydrants. The
fund balance is supposed to be designated for equipment purchases.
Their undesignated fund balance is getting fairly low right now.
He voiced concern about approving the hydrants without consulting
the other members of the fire commission.
Commissioner Madison asked the finance officer if she knew the
balance for the fire commission.
Mrs. Blumenstein said that undesignated unappropriated was
$33,186. They did have $100,000 for a truck fund and a balance of
$49,890 will occur if a truck for Trinity VFD is approved in the
amount of $45,110 and $5,000 goes to Central VFD (these two items
are to be discussed later in the meeting).
VOTING: Ayes 4 - Nays 1 (Boone)
Pertaining to the elevated tank, it was the consensus of the
board to delay this matter until the commissioners could discuss in
more detail at the upcoming retreat.

COMMISSIONO Mr. Clontz stated the Fire Commission had recommended
additional funding of $45,110 to Trinity VFD to pay for a new
truck. The fire department will pay the balance from funds they
have on hand. In addition, the Fire Commission is requesting
$5,000 for a prior commitment on a truck Central VFD received about
one year ago. At that time, the fire commission, agreed to fund
them $12,500, however, only $7,500 was given to them.
Commissioner Boone stated that a policy was started this year
by the Fire Commission of putting money into a fund that was
designated for equipment purchases. The idea was to get everything
on a pay-as-you-go basis thus reducing much debt and interest.
There is a study that basically tells what new equipment purchases
are recommended each year. The truck for Trinity is designated in
this study, and if approved it will be debt free. It will be
doubtful that this can be continued on future purchases, however,
if money is continued to be spent for unapproved items.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to approve the funding for
Trinity VFD for a new truck in the amount of $45,110. This will be
Budget Amendment 13B.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
