The total cost for Iredell County is $31,962.48; however, the County is only asked to contribute $15,981.24. Both economic development recruiters for the County (McKay & O'Connell - Underwood) feel the survey would be useful. Mr. Mashburn, as well as Chairman Haire, indicated that most industrial referrals to this area are made by the State. Haire said she didn't think the money requested ($15,000) was that much; especially if the County didn't participate in the inventory and an industrial prospect went to another location. At a recent Centralina meeting, several representatives from area counties suggested that Carolinas Partnership cover all or part of the local share. Commissioner Stewart said she felt that before the Board voted on the matter that someone should ask about the financial situation of the Carolinas Partnership. OTHER BRAELEY SCROOL ROAD/ZONING JURIBDICTION: William Allison advised in a memo that if the County adopted some type of Land Development Plan for this area the Watershed, Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances would need amending. Also, the establishment of an Overlay District would need to be done. Allison further stated that since the plan was created for a municipality and not a County that considerable staff time would be needed to find what would be appropriate for the County. If the County adopted a plan, it would also require staffing to review and enforce it. SAPECLAIN PROPERTY: Commissioner Boone asked about the property formerly occupied by the SafeClaim Company. The property has a large amount of combustible material on the site. Jerry Lundy mentioned that the staff could research the matter and find out who owns the property; however, it's sometimes difficult to locate property owners. The County could clean up the debris and place a lien on the property, but it would probably never recover the costs involved in the matter. Mr. Lundy will research this matter. Commissioner Madison asked if the lien would be in first place. Blumenstein answered that a tax lien should be placed before most any other debt. CARRIGAN PARKS: Chairman Haire mentioned that residents near this business had complained about the irrigation system which wets the road and makes hazardous driving conditions. Jerry Lundy mentioned that the owner of the farm can be issued a citation by the highway patrol. Lundy will also look into this matter. NOISS ORDINANCE: Commissioner Boone asked if the noise ordinance could be used with barking dogs.' Lundy said the County' ordinance was somewhat vague. The owner of the dog could probably be charged; however, it's doubtful the charges would stick. RABIES UPDATE: Jerry Lundy mentioned that the Animal Control Office had not had any domestic animals with rabies yet; however, several wild animals have been confirmed. He mentioned that rabies in humans was very serious. RIBBON -CUTTING POLICY FOR AREA CEANEERs: The county manager mentioned that many times his office was requested to invite commissioners to area ribbon -cutting ceremonies. He asked for a procedure to be used for notification if the commissioners desired to participate. It was mentioned that the Mooresville -South Iredell Chamber invites each commissioner individually as a courtesy. After some discussion, it was determined the Statesville Chamber should issue its own invitations and not go through the manager's office.
