basis. Chairman Haire expressed appreciation, on behalf of the
board, of their attendance at the meetings.
COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT: Mr. Mashburn said he did not have a
formal report, but since there was some available time before the
public hearing as advertised for 7:00, he thought the board would
like to hear an update on the Recreation Department from Mrs. Kim
Burnett who was present.
RECREATION ACTIVITIES: Ms. Burnett said this is an enrichment
program that is being offered during their intersessions, which is
every nine weeks the kids are out for three weeks. They work with
the school systems to come up with programs. The Recreation
Department is offering an Adventure Week which is a spin-off of
their Adventure Camp. They had ten children to participate in the
program last week. Each day they had a different outdoor activity
like hiking and climbing, ropes course, white water rafting.
Hopefully this will be an every nine -week event, Burnett said.
Ms. Burnett said the Camp Iredell Program was down this year
in numbers. There is a lot of competition for day care and a lot
of parents are making their kids latch -key kids.
The Adventure Camp was a success this summer. They were
filled every week except one. They do climbing, hiking, and rafting
and learning a lot about nature.
Mr. Mashburn asked Commissioner Hamby to report on the
Recreation Advisory Board Planning Retreat.
Commissioner Hamby said the retreat was held in the conference
room of the government center. All of the active members of the
advisory council came. The recreation advisory board is excited
about the park land that was donated to the county.
The meeting was recessed until 7:00 o'clock for the public
hearing.
Chairman Zaire adjourned the meeting to public hearing.

CONSIDERATION OF THE BCEEDULE, STANDARDS, AND RULES TO BE USED
IN AppRAISING REAL PROPERTY IN IREDELL COUNTY IN THE 1995
REAPPRAISAL: Mr. Brent Weisner was present to discuss the hearing.
He gave the board a one-page update to add to their packets already
received on this subject.
Mr. Weisner said he would answer any questions that anyone has
on this subject.
Commissioner Madison said he had talked with a property owner
who had purchased a couple of lots at an auction sale and asked
questions about the assessed value. Commissioner Madison inquired
if there is any way to use the auction figures to come up with
assessments for new subdivisions.
Mr. Weisner addressed this question and said that the State
does not look at auction sales at all in sales ratios. They wait
until resales occur in the auctioned areas to establish value, he
said. He said they would not consider auction sales as the fair
market value.
Commissioner Boone mentioned that he had one of those lots and
he was familiar with the matter being discussed.
Commissioner Boone inquired how the Sales Assessment Ratio
used by the State determined.
