company did recommend a higher deductible; however, Mr. Mashburn
thought the board would want to take a more conservative approach
in the initial year. Commissioner Madison inquired about the types
of claims that would require a $100,000.
Chairman Haire asked Mrs. Blumenstein to give her opinion.
She recommended the board try the self-insurance with the low
deductible as being recommended. Mr. Mashburn said the County
might eventually build up an escrow account and not have to
appropriate as much. These funds would be placed in a separate
internal service fund, Mrs. Blumenstein said.
Commissioner Madison asked for a comparison of the former
quotation they had received and with the one that is before the
board this evening. Mrs. Blumenstein explained the difference in
the two plans.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to go as has been proposed
this evening, with Sedgwick James and the $100,000 deductible for
the next fiscal year for a self-insurance workers' compensation
program.

TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN - NR- DEN GARRISON: Mr.
Garrison presented the Transportation Development Plan Steering
Committee's recommendation. The TDP is a four-year plan, the last
plan having been done in 1991, which lays out goals and objectives
for the period. The fourth year of the plan called for involvement
of public transportation. The county commissioners approved
Centralina Council of Government assisting with coming up with a
private, non-profit corporation which would oversee all the
transportation services in the community. The Iredell County
Vocational Workshop now serves as the lead agency. The reason to
form a corporation would be to develop a better coordinated system.
COG helped develop by-laws and the Articles of Incorporation which
can be filed with the Secretary of State, if the board of
commissioners approved. The TDP steering committee is asking the
board to appoint the seven members required for the Articles of
Incorporation. The TDP steering committee recommends this plan.
After incorporating the group has the following options: (1)
the group could continue as they are now operating; (2) one agency
could assume all transportation in the county; (3) the non-profit
organization could set up its own transportation system and run it;
or (4) a private vendor could operate the service. The TDP
steering committee hopes to move from a coordinated transportation
system to a consolidated system.
The request of the board is to approve the concept of the non-
profit organization, approve the by-laws, and appoint the seven
members to the board of directors as required by the Articles of
Incorporation. The names suggested for the board of directors are:
Ben Garrison, Iredell Vocational Workshop; Anna Rice, Council on
Aging; Paul Wilson, I -Care; Ron White, Tri -County Mental Health;
Dot Blackwelder, E1derCenter; Ron Matthews, Adult Learning Center;
and Lisa York, DSS.
This would be the initial membership. once the board is
established if anyone wishes to become a member, they have to make
a written request which goes to the Board of Directors, then the
Board of Directors would bring the request to the county
commissioners.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the Articles of
Incorporation.
