REQUEST OF IREDBLL-STATBSVILLE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR LETTER OF
INTENT pBRTAINING TO TROUTMAN NIDDLE SCHOOL RENOVATIONS1 Dr.
Register said that originally this school was supposed to be used
for expansion. Last summer his staff bid this project along with
Lake Norman Elementary. The bid process was unsuccessful so the
school system recently rebid. The scope of the project has
changed -- it was first started about three years ago. The
school board on February 12, 1996, accepted the bids for
renovations, heating and air conditioning. The acceptance,
however, is contingent upon approval of the commissioners.
In a letter dated February 29, 1996, Dr. Register mentioned
that the school board had held $257,130 of funds from the sale of
the Amity Hill property and the Rickert Street property for
construction purposes. Commissioner Boone referred to the $257,130
and he mentioned the roof conditions of West Iredell Middle and
North Iredell High. He asked if the bond failed how the school
office proposed to make the needed roof repairs. Dr. Register said
they would continue to use public school building funds and sales
tax revenues, etc. Commissioner Boone then specifically asked,
"Will you have money from the capital improvements fund to fix the
roofs in the next few years?" Dr. Register replied, "Yes, over the
next several years."
Commissioner Madison asked if the County had already
appropriated the funds. Mrs. Blumenstein answered that this
project was a part of the three-year plan.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN UPDATE TO THE
IREDELL COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT PLANS This request was
tabled from the February 20 meeting. Mr. Ben Garrison explained
that the TDP allows the County to receive funds from the State and
Federal government. The proposed TDP defines "where we are now."
Garrison mentioned that his committee is not near a final
recommendation. There are many advantages in the TDP program. DSS
meets ADA standards with the vehicles. It helps the County in
overall costs to have a coordinated system.
Jerry Lundy stated that the TDP eliminates owning vehicles the
County doesn't necessarily need.
