Request for a Decision Regarding the Catawba-Wateree (Duke Energy) Relicensing
Final Agreement and, if agreeable, Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Chairman
of the Board to Sign the Document: Commissioner Robertson shared concerns about the
water management group (water users using over one million gallons a day) who would pay fees
based on how much was taken out of the Catawba basin less how much waste water was returned
to the basin. He said the scope of the projects that could potentially be funded by the group was
unlimited. Robertson said the group had goals and objectives, but the members weren't limited
to these items. He said the municipalities of Mooresville and Statesville, along with the other
users, would pay into the system, and the charges were not set. Robertson said each user had one
vote -- it wasn't set upon how much money was paid. He said after the agreement was signed, a
chartering committee could make changes. Mr. Robertson referred to the state highway tax
along with the lottery proceeds and said these were initially identified for one purpose but they
were now being used for other purposes. He shared concerns about politicians re -directing the
water fees in a similar fashion. Robertson requested for the county staff to share these concerns
with Statesville and Mooresville and to also suggest that the municipalities have representation
on the chartering committee. In addition, he suggested that Iredell County's chartering
committee representative have a copy of the April 4, 2006 revisions approved by the board for
the draft relicensing agreement -in -principle even though the changes weren't included in the
final document. Robertson recommended for the representative to try and persuade the group to
include the language in the agreement.
