UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Statesville Regional Airport: Commissioner Johnson said a $2.5 million
federal grant had been received, and with this occurrence, the financing had now
"turned the corner." He said from here on out, the county would see a positive cash
flow. He said three significant hangars were being constructed and expensive aircraft
would be based at the facility.
NEW BUSINESS
Carolina Land and Lakes: Commissioner Williams said Carolina Land and
Lakes desired to apply for a grant that would be used to clean up property in the Withers
Creek and Shinnville Road area. He said the grant was several hundred thousands of
dollars, and a match was needed. Williams proposed that a waiver of the solid waste
tipping fee be used as the local match. He said the agency had access to debris clean up
equipment to remove tires and other trash that bad been thrown into the creek bed,
gullies, and nearby areas. Williams said Carolina Land and Lakes would be the recipient
and administrator of the grant.

Commissioner Johnson noted that demolition or building materials had also been
dumped in the area. In regards to the dumping of tires, he said it had been brought to his
attention that Iredell County's policy on tire disposal deviated somewhat from other
counties.
County Manager Mashburn said the solid waste department didn't charge for the
disposal of tires from private individuals.
Commissioner Johnson asked if there was a limit. He said there seemed to be a
significant problem with people illegally dumping old tires.
Mashburn said he didn't think there was a limit.
Commissioner Williams said that perhaps a transfer station was needed in the
Shinnville area.
