Commissioner Robertson asked about the $30,500 budgeted in the economic development
budget for the Mooresville rail project. He said appropriating money to the project might imply
to some people that the county was in favor of light rail. Robertson expressed concerns about
the rail project, and he said the county should refrain from financially participating unless there
was the possibility that highway money might be lost.
Mashburn said the $30,500 was the continuation of funding for a rail study.
Commissioner Johnson indicated that once the rail study obligation had been completed, he
would not be inclined to assist anymore.
Note: On June 15, 2004, Mooresville Mayor Al Jones said an environmental review/preliminary
engineering study costing $6.7 million was planned for the north rail project and a 101/6 match of
$677,500 was needed. Mayor Jones said the City of Charlotte/Mecklenburg County had agreed to pay
$494,500 leaving a balance of $183,000. He asked if the county would pay one-half of the $183,000 or
$91,500. The board in a 3-2 vote agreed to reimburse Mooresville $30,500 annually for three years.
(Johnson and Williams voted against the funding request. Commissioner Robertson was not on the board
when the action was taken.)
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Tice made a olio at 8:30 p.m., to adjourn the meeting
until Thursday, May 26, 2005 for the second budget session.
