NEW BUSINESS Iredell Rescue Squad: Chairman Johnson said he had requested the Finance Director to run an amortization schedule pertaining to a rescue squad loan. He said the county several years ago assisted the squads with loans, but the assistance had been stopped. Johnson said volunteer fire departments could obtain low interest tax-exempt loans on their own, but that rescue squads could not. He said the Iredell Rescue Squad currently had a $719,500 loan with an 8.750% interest rate. Johnson said it was his understanding a new loan might be able to cut the interest in half. He said this wouldn't require any additional assistance from the county, other than being the lead agency on the loan. Johnson noted that this type of assistance could be limited to the rescue squads. 13
