limits were using the transfer station. She also mentioned that
originally the Town of Mooresville was told it would be charged
35%, however, the charges have been at 50%.
Landfill Supervisor, Ron Weatherman, advised that 57% of the waste
at the station originates from the Town of Mooresville. The waste
the station receives is a coagulated "mess." The current system is
not good. The station is taking yard waste, however, by law this
is not required. The traffic in and around the station is really
backed up on Friday and Saturday. An adjoining property owner (Mr.
Campbell) has a strip of land in front of the station which would
simplify any improvements, however, it is difficult to locate him
to try to negotiate an offer on the land.
A discussion was held pertaining to condemnation of the strip of
land, however, Commissioners Madison and Boone advised that they
were not willing to condemn any property for the proposed
improvements.
The county engineer mentioned that one-half of the materials the
County recycles comes from Mooresville. He is looking at recycling
boxes.
Jim Woodie advised that the transfer station would have to remain
in operation while any improvements were made.
It was the consensus of the commissioners to give the county
manager 60 days to try to obtain Mr. Campbell's property, and this
does include a swap of land if necessary. Also, the county manager
will talk with the Mooresville officials to see how much they are
willing to assist in improvement costs.
HOUSE NUMBERING PROJECT: This item was on the agenda due to the
house numbering project being behind schedule. Mr. Jim Reynolds of
CADDUM, and Larry Dickerson, Communications Director, were present
for this segment of the meeting. Reynolds stated that rural
addressing was a massive project. There was much duplication in
addressing, because so many roads were unnamed. He also said the
process being used was commendable, in that citizens had input in
naming roads, however, it slows the process.
Dickerson stated that CADDUM could deliver addresses right now,
however, there is no way they could be given out to the public. He
said the end of March 1994 was the best estimate he could give as
to a completion date.
Mr. Mashburn reminded everyone that the contract between CADDUM and
the County expires on November 30, 1993.
Reynolds requested an extension on the contract until January 31,
1994.
