Request from the Covenant House of Statesville, a 501C-3 Organization,
for Waste Disposal Exemptions: Mr. Darryl McIntyre, Covenant House Executive
Director, requested a waste disposal exemption. McIntyre said the Covenant House
previously was located in downtown Statesville, but it recently relocated to 117
McElwee Street. He said the McElwee site had been an eyesore, but it had now been
fully renovated. McIntyre said contractors had estimated a cost of $340,000 for the
renovation, but by using the labor of the Covenant House participants, the structure
was improved and restored for $100,000. He said the Covenant House was no
different from the Salvation Army or Fifth Street Ministries, but the agency had a
structured program. McIntyre said $300 was spent at the solid waste facility last year,
and 80% of the trash disposal fees were due to the facility's renovations. He said it
cost $240,000 a year to operate the program, and only 20% of this came from the
United Way. Mr. McIntyre said the remaining 80% came from the Covenant House
men working in the community. He said the program primarily worked with
individuals from Iredell County. McIntyre said a "cap" could be placed on the
exemption.
Commissioner Norman asked the criteria used in the past for organizations to
be exempted from the waste disposal fees.
