CALL TO ORDER: Chairman James Mallory called the meeting to order.
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGENDA: County Manager Beth Mull went over the
following adjustments:
Remove Personnel from Closed Session.
Replacement supporting documents for VIII.11
Minutes from the Fire Tax Oversight Committee Meeting were added to Items VIII. 7 –
VIII.10.
Chairman Mallory asked Mull to cover the changes to the 2021-22 budget.
Mull said item the information provided in agenda item VIII.2 details the revisions that
resulted from the budget workshops. The revisions are in the budget ordinance. The final budget
number is $236,155,420 and maintains the tax rate at 53.75 cents per $100 valuation, and the All-
County Fire Tax rate at 9 cents for $100 valuation.
Chairman Mallory said the one item that came between the two meetings was the Tactical
Channel study.
Mull said that is not in the budget ordinance. The Board voted by consensus to hire a
consultant to look at ECOM operations and the multiple request for tactical dispatch then present
to the Board on how that should be approached.
Chairman Mallory said the study will provide an overall comprehensive look at ECOM
and the tactical channels.

June 1, 2021
Commissioner Houpe asked if the Board will meet with the consultant before the study
begins.
Mull said yes, if the Board wishes.
Commissioner Houpe said the Board and/or the Public Safety Task Force.
Chairman Mallory suggested the Public Safety Task Force can discuss expectations upfront
and not be involved during the process.
Commissioner Houpe agreed.
Commissioner Houpe asked if the $10 minimum is for permanent part-time.
Mull said yes.
Commissioner Houpe asked if shift differential is currently $1.00 per hour.
Mull said yes.
Commissioner Houpe suggested the Department Director be given a range from $1-2
depending on the shift or up to $2 per hour.
Mull said there are several departments with multiple shifts. Currently, if it is a half-shift,
the employee receives half of the shift differential (50 cents). If it is a full-shift, the employee
receives the full shift differential ($1).
Commissioner Houpe suggested doubling the shift differential to help with employee
retainment.
Finance Director Deb Cheek said the budget ordinance would not need to be amended.
Chairman Mallory recommended up to $2 for shift differential at the discretion of the
Department Director.
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

Revenue Funds: Finance Director Deb Cheek said the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board searches for ways for the County’s financial statements look more like public financial
entities. Under statement number 84, the following funds are no longer classified as Fiduciary
Activities and thus must be represented in a Special Revenue Fund with an annual budget, Fines
and Forfeitures, Sheriff's Tax Warrants and Judgments, Employee Flex Benefits, DSS
Guardianship, Inspection Bonds, and Register of Deeds Collection Fund. Cheek noted these funds
are not tied to the General Fund.

Request from Emergency Medical Services for approval to sign multi-year contracts
with Prepaid Health Plans and transportation brokers: EMS Director Blair Richey explained
in order to continue to receive Medicaid funding for the five health plans, EMS must contract with
each entity. In addition to the Medicaid Managed Care plans, EMS must also contract with the
transportation brokers that are associated with the Plans, so that EMS may bill for Medicaid
Managed Care Non-Emergency Medical Transportation services. Being the sole provider for this
type of transportation in Iredell County we foresee the necessity to contract to continue services in
Iredell County and submit claims following. An estimate of 63% of Medicaid plan holders will
be moved to the new Medicaid Managed Care plans this summer.

Request from Administration for approval to award contract for the Main Library
Mechanical Upgrade project to Associated Heating and Air: Project Manager David Saleeby
said the Library’s mechanical systems were designed and installed in the early 2000s. At that time,
proper air exchange was not incorporated into the building design and plans. Currently, the
building has minimal fresh air coming into building, thus creating a negative air pressure wi thin
the building envelope. Also, the air in the building stays and is reused before the fresh outside air
is introduced by way of door openings and normal air leakage throughout the
building structure. The library modification project will include exhausting existing air from the
building and replacing it with fresh outside air. To ensure good quality of outside air, the intake
will be at the roof level of the library building. The air exchange rate for the proposed system is
2.78 air changes per an hour. Currently the air exchange rate is minimal. As conditioned air is
exhausted from the building, unconditioned fresh air is introduced to the occupied space. To
recover the energy loss of conditioned air, an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is installed. The
ERV project will supply fresh air for the building occupants and also recover the heating/cooling
cost which would be lost in the air exchange. Recently constructed County facilities, (Detention
Center, Public Safety Building and Government Center Renovations projects, all incorporated

Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems in their mechanical design, per current building code
and environmental requirements. A bid opening was held May 12, 2021 and Associated Heating
and Air was the lowest responsible responsive bidder with a bid of $902,000. staff proposes to
carry a 5% ($45,000) contingency for any unforeseen items that may come up during the
construction process. Saleeby added the request also includes approval for the County Manager to
sign the documents.
Commissioner Brown asked if the Library’s hours will be affected.
Saleeby is hopeful that anything causing noise or disturb the Library’s function will be on
the weekends or after 9pm during the week.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public hearing to consider a request from applicant Christy Allen, of The Allen Team,
Inc., to rezone approximately 2.95 acres along Stutts Road: Planning Director Matthew Todd
said the property is currently zoned residential agricultural and the applicant is requesting straight
general business. The property lies within the 2030 Horizon Plan as Corridor Commercial and is
adjacent to other general business uses. There are watershed restrictions on the property which will
limit a smaller scale general business use. Staff supports the rezoning and Planning Board voted
unanimously in support of the request. Todd noted there has not been any opposition to the request.
Chairman Mallory opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Chairman Mallory closed the public hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Brown to approve the zoning map amendment, and to make
a finding that said approval is reasonable and in the public interest because the property lies within
the 2030 Horizon Plan Corridor Commercial designation, it is adjacent to various existing
commercial uses, and critical watershed restrictions should limit development to smaller-scale GB
uses into the future.

REZONING CASE # 2105-1
STAFF PROJECT CONTACT: Leslie M. Meadows
EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST
This is a request to rezone an approximately 2.95 acres parcel of land along Stutts Road,
off Brawley School Road, from Residential Agricultural (RA) to General Business (GB). This
is a conventional rezoning request, with no conditions proposed at this time.
OWNER/APPLICANT
OWNER: Marci Gallman
APPLICANT: Christy Allen, The Allen Team, Inc.
PROPERTY INFORMATION
ADDRESS/LOCATION:
164 Stutts Road; more specifically, PIN#:
4636450987.000.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Adjoining and
adjacent to this site, to the north and
west, are a variety of commercial uses,
primarily GB. Properties directly to the
east and south are still residential in
nature.
SIZE: The total acreage to be rezoned
includes approximately 2.95 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant, former single-family dwelling.
ZONING HISTORY: The property has been zoned, Residential Agricultural (RA) since
county-wide zoning was established in 1990.
OTHER JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: This area is considered entirely the County’s
jurisdiction, and is not with the Town of Mooresville’s Long-Range Urban Service Area.
OTHER SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This property is located within the regulated WS-IV-CA
Critical Watershed Area for Catawba/Lake Norman. Proposed new development will be
limited to the Non-Residential Low Density Option for 24% built-upon area. Being in the
Brawley School Road area, the Non-Residential High Density Option would not be
available at this site. The property is not located in a flood hazard zone.
10
June 1, 2021
UTILITIES: This site is currently served by well and septic only.
IMPACTS ON LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND/OR FACILITES
TRAFFIC: Stutts Road is considered a minor thoroughfare needing improvements
according to the current CRTPO Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The closest and
most recent NCDOT traffic count, just north of this property along Stutts Road, had a
traffic count of 4,600 vehicles per day in 2019. Overall traffic capacity for Stutts Road is
currently unknown. The speed limit along this section of Stutts Road is 45 mph.
SCHOOLS: This is a commercial rezoning and should have no implications on local
schools.
EMERGENCY SERVICES: This proposal has been reviewed by the Iredell County Fire
Marshal’s Office and Iredell County EMS. Neither office addressed any concerns
regarding the request.
REQUIRED REVIEWS BY OTHER AGENCIES
LOCAL: The applicant must provide a site plan to the Planning & Development
Department for review to develop the property. Zoning requirements such as parking,
landscaping, and buffering will be reviewed at such time. Erosion & sedimentation
control standards will also be reviewed for compliance.
STATE: Other than building code, there should be no formal state agency review at this
time.
FEDERAL: None at this time.
STAFF AND BOARD COMMENTS
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant, Christy Allen, a realtor with The Allen Team, Inc.,
represents Landowner Marci Gallman in attempts to sale the property in question. Due
to the adjoining self-storage facility and adjacent, growing business park, it is felt that a
rezoning to GB will make this site more marketable. It is no longer as favorable/attractive
for residential purposes. However, the smaller lot size and the Catawba/Lake Norman
WS-IV-CA Critical Watershed restrictions in this area should limit or help control GB
development at this site.
Being relatively close to Brawley School Road, the parcel in question is inside what the
2030 Horizon Plan calls the Corridor Commercial designation. Corridor Commercial areas
include existing commercial, office, and/or retail uses that exist along major
thoroughfares and highways or areas that will include commercial development in the
future, and can contain both large and small mixed-use commercial centers. These
areas are both within and outside the Iredell County Urban Service Areas. They may be
serviced by and incorporated into one of the municipalities at some point in the future.
According to the plan, commercial uses within this area generally should include retail,
restaurants, entertainment centers, automobile services, personal services, other
commercial uses, and office developments.
11
June 1, 2021
The Planning staff can support the proposed rezoning request based on the following:
The property lies within the 2030 Horizon Plan Corridor Commercial designation, it is
adjacent to various existing commercial uses, and critical watershed restrictions should
limit development to smaller-scale GB uses into the future.
SITE REVIEW COMMITTEE: Staff performed a site visit on April 16, 2021, to post property
and take photo documentation.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On May 5, 2021, the Planning Board held a public
meeting to hear the rezoning request. The applicant and land owner were present for
questioning. No neighboring landowners attended in opposition. The board voted 7-0
to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Public Hearing to consider the proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget for Iredell
County: County Manager said the Board was initially presented to the Board in May 2021. The
Board held budget sessions resulting in additions and revisions. The proposed General Fund
Budget is $236,155,420. The budget maintains the tax rate at 53.75 cents per $100 valuation, and
the All-County Fire Tax rate at 9 cents for $100 valuation.
Chairman Mallory opened the public hearing.
