PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: A public comment period was offered, but no
one chose to speak.
NEW BUSINESS: Commissioner Johnson shared information on the following
two items.
1. A resolution was recently adopted by Alexander County indicating that between
1990 and 2005, $3,220,093,723 had been taken out of the North Carolina Highway
Trust Fund and used to balance the state budget. Johnson said the state was now
proposing to raise the gasoline tax. He said that at the present time, only California
and Hawaii had higher gasoline taxes than North Carolina. Johnson said North
Carolina didn't have a lack of a tax problem, but what it had, was a mismanagement
problem. Johnson said the additional money would not go to improve roads, but
rather, it would be used to pay for social welfare programs out of the general fund.
2. A letter of appreciation from the Iredell County Rescue Squad was shared. (The
squad expressed appreciation for the new funding formula.)
COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT: The county manager distributed a written
activity report and commented on the following three items.
1. A thank you letter was received from Jeff McKay (former director of the Greater
Statesville Development Corporation) for the county's past support and assistance.
2 At a previous board meeting, a question was raised about the number of tires a
homeowner could take to the landfill. He said Subsection F, in the state
regulations, did not apply to tires for disposal in quantities of five or less by
someone other than a tire collector, processor, or tire hauler.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the fine, for illegal tire dumping, was regulated by
the state. (The county manager said he would research the matter and share the
information with Johnson.)
3. In regards to the upcoming Winter Planning Session, Mashburn said a review of the
noise ordinance and nuisance rules, along with health insurance, minimum housing
regulations, voting centers (south and north Iredell) and a review of certification
incentives would be discussed. He requested that if the board members wanted
other items to be discussed to let him know. (Spreadsheets for finances and capital
needs will also be presented.)

otio at 8 P.M. to adjourn the meeting. (NEXT MEETING: January 3, 2006, at 5
