ADJUSTMENT OF AGENDA: The county manager requested that a
Closed Session (G.S. 143.318.11 (a) (3) - Davis Hospital vs.
Iredell County) be added to the agenda.
PUBLIC HEARING MATTERS: Mr. Lundy explained the various
rezoning requests, the proposed amendments to the zoning
ordinance, and a proposed extension of vested rights (Raymer Oil
Company). Transmission tower amendments were discussed and it
was requested that Mr. Lundy add another amendment (Proposed
Amendment 16) pertaining to towers located in residential zoned
districts. A legal notice will be printed for the latter
amendment, and it will be presented for approval on a future
agenda.
REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT OF SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE: Mr. Ron
Weatherman explained that the SafeWaste Corporation (Charlotte,
NC) had entered into a contract with Iredell Memorial Hospital to
microwave medical waste on-site two or three times per week.
Weatherman said that an employee (Dr. Ernest Lawrence) of the
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources in a memo
dated October 11, 1995, had advised that microwaved treated waste
(end product) was acceptable for municipal landfill disposal.
Weatherman mentioned that this type of treatment was widely used
in Europe, and that he had visited Buncombe County's site. He is
in favor of accepting this type of waste and noted that other
hospitals in the County would probably seek this type of
treatment measure for their waste. An amendment to the
ordinance will be necessary to accept this type of waste.
REQUEST FOR MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT BETWEEN IREDELL COUNTY AND
MECKLENBURG COUNTY: Larry Dickerson advised that laws are in
place which allows counties to assist in disaster situations;
however, this agreement would simply put in writing a statement
of mutual assistance between Mecklenburg and Iredell.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ADVENTURE
COMMUNICATIONS & IREDELL COUNTY: Dickerson explained that
Adventure Communications (WSIC/WFMX) owns a radio transmission
tower located on Woodleaf Road in Rowan County. Due to jail
expansion it will be necessary to dismantle the tower located
near Water/Tradd Streets. The Woodleaf Road tower would then be
used for county purposes. The agreement requires that Iredell
County provide a diesel fueled generator (along with maintenance
and fuel for the term of the lease) and an automatic power
