APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Mrs. Rena Turner, Iredell County Clerk of Court, advised that
the court system was stretched for adequate space. This past
November a State survey was completed in an effort to receive a
grant. Turner advised that she was requesting that a broad-based
committee be established to study the needs of the courts. The
objective of the committee would be to develop a plan of action for
the court facilities. This would alleviate the problem of having
to react to a crisis in the future.
Chairman Haire thanked Mrs. Turner for herappearance and
advised that the Board, through the county manager, would consider
this request and respond soon.
Mrs. Debi Lee, Centralina Council of Governments (COO)
Ombudsman, presented the annual reports of the Adult Care Home
Advisory Committee and the Nursing Home Community Advisory
Committee. She also passed out updated copies of Options: A Guide
to Consumer's Housing and Long Term Care. A copy of this guide is
provided to the Iredell County and Mooresville libraries. In
addition, it may be purchased from the COG office. Lee praised the
140 volunteers in the eight -county COG region for their valued
assistance. She mentioned that the volunteers not only do mandated
visits of facilities, but they also do "friendly" visits and they
interact in many other activities that the facilities provide.
They act as advocates for older adult citizens' rights.
Chairman Haire thanked Lee, as well as the numerous county
citizens serving on the adult care home and nursing home
committees, for their work in ensuring that proper care and
attention are being given to the residents of these facilities.
