APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
MITCHELL COMMUNITY COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVES= Mr. R.B. Sloan,
Jr., Chairman of the Mitchell Board of Trustees; Dr. Virginia
Mitchell, Vice President of Instruction; and Larry Williams,
Finance Director, spoke in the absence of the college president.
Sloan advised that on May 26, 1997, the Mitchell Board of Trustees
voted to request $119,900 from the commissioners to purchase a
house and lot at 410 Walnut Street, Statesville, NC.
Commissioner Fortner asked if the college was interested in
any other properties. Sloan said there were two sites on Race
Street; however, the Walnut Street property was the number one
priority request. He said, "The others would be nice, but I don't
feel we will be back in the short term requesting additional
property."
Commissioner Boone asked if the house would be used, moved, or
demolished. Sloan said the main purpose for the tract of land
would be for access to Mitchell. it is not the intention of the
trustees to demolish the house. There is, however, likelihood the
house might be moved at some point in time.
Mr. Boone asked about college endowments. Mr. Williams said
Mitchell had two types: 1) "Endowment for Excellence" was first
established in November of 1996 and has a balance of $26,000. The
money is to be used to support educational programs. The college
receives about $250,000 from the State for equipment. 2) Endowed
Scholarships (these are restricted for students).
Commissioner Johnson asked the size of the requested property.
Williams said it was .17 acres.
