third year(96-97) would be the same as on the sheet. It would just
be a different spread in the way the money is received and no
difference in the amount received, Boone said.
Dr. Register said Mr. Boone had asked him at the break if the
board could consider this change in the appropriations. He said
this is a very quick reaction to this suggestion, but he thinks
this would be a workable plan, he said. They are looking at
property and making plans and are looking at a construction time of
the first of 1995.
Chairman Haire inquired if Commissioner Boone is proposing to
change the Mooresville Schools funding also. He said he thinks in
all fairness the board would have to give the same out per pupil,
since this is the way it has always been done. This would spread
about $152,000 of Mooresville's money into the 95-96 fiscal year,
Boone said. Chairman Haire said she thought in all fairness too,
the Mooresville Board should be asked the same as the Iredell-
Statesville Schools are being asked, before the final changes are
made.
Commissioner Boone inquired if it would be possible to put
this amount in Fund Balance and wait until the next meeting to see
what Mooresville's comments are. Mrs. Blumenstein said it could be
kept in the Capital Reserve Fund Balance.
Commissioner Madison inquired if the board is under pressure
to approve the budget at this meeting.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to amend his former motion
and amend it to table the budget adoption until June 21, 1994,
until it is found out whether or not Mooresville can live with
these changes. He said he realized Mooresville had some heavy debt
services in their budget this year.
VOTING ON AMENDED MOTION: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Commissioner Madison said he wished to commend the staff for
doing such a good job on the budget. Chairman Haire added her
thanks to those of Commissioner Madison's.
Mr. Mashburn brought up the information that has been
mentioned about being included in the tax bills. A chart that
would show by department the total of county funds had been
suggested. Mr. Mashburn said the dilemma is that unless mailing of
the tax bills is delayed and things may change in the budget on
June 21, 1994, snf this may not be totally accurate if the
appropriation to the schools is altered.
The board discussed the way the charts would be shown on the
tax bill. By consensus the board members agreed that the
information would be on the tax bills and that the tax bills should
be delayed until the budget is finally set because the percentages
could be off.
HOME HEALTH AGENCY DISCUSSION REsuxZDt Commissioner Madison
inquired of County Attorney Pope if the Home Health Agency is put
up for bid, and the final bidder cannot convince the county
commissioners that they can meet the criteria, can that bid be
rejected. Mr. Pope said he thought if the criteria is established
and sufficiently clear in advance and the bidder does not meet the
criteria, the bid could be rejected. If the bidder does meet the
criteria and the bid is rejected, then Mr. Pope said he thought the
board would have a problem.
Commissioner Madison and Commissioner Hamby discussed the
reason for bidding.
