REQUEST FROM CITY OF STATESVILLE FOR PARTICIPATION IN
A SEWER PROJECT AT THE STATESVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT &
APPROVAL OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT: Mike Johnson said the city
was proposing to build a pump station near the airport to handle sewer. He said two
large basins would be developed. M. Johnson said the city desired to extend its
extraterritorial jurisdiction to serve more areas at the airport and this would increase the
tax base for both the city and county.
Chairman Johnson said an overlay needed to be developed for the airport area,
and he would be willing to serve on a committee to study the matter. He added that
"tight" standards needed to be developed.
Mike Johnson said the Urban Services Area (USA) plan would show the
"logical extension" for sewer. He agreed that standards were needed, and he said the
"whole corridor needed to be landscaped."
Commissioner Tice said the airport in Wilkes County was very attractive, and
standards were needed at Statesville's facility.
Commissioner Madison said he understood the engineering costs for the project
were estimated at $1,063,000.00. He said the interlocal agreement should be contingent
upon this amount and if the costs increased, the county should be given the option to re-
evaluate its participation.
OTIO by Commissioner Madison to approve the proposed interlocal
agreement with the following conditions:
1. The City of Statesville will approve the Interlocal Agreement dated
July 6, 2004 (The city will meet on July 7 to consider the agreement.)
2. Should the project exceed the engineering estimate of $1,063,000.00,
the county will be given the opportunity to re-evaluate
its participation in the project.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
Note: The agreement as offered by the City of Statesville is as follows:
WHEREAS, the City and the County entered into an Interlocal Agreement related to
the City's project to improve and expand the Statesville Municipal Airport by agreement dated
the 7" day of October, 2003, and
