Mr. A.J. BARGHOTHI - RE: TOWN OF TROUTMAN'S REQUEST FOR WATER
SEWER ASSISTANCE (Town Limits at Hwy. 21 & S. Eastway Dr. to Kerr's Branch South of Exit 42):
Barghothi, the Troutman Town Administrator, discussed a $1,038,125 water sewer project that
would extend 2.1 miles. Since the project would include property (1.9 miles) outside the Town's
corporate limits, Iredell County is being asked to financially assist in the amount of $250,000.
Mr. Barghothi distributed copies of a chart that showed how much Exit 36 had increased
in tax base since water sewer was brought into the area in 1986. He added there had been much
interest from developers and property owners about obtaining water sewer.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the project included trunk lines. Barghothi said it did not.
He said the project was a gravity sewer type with eight -inch lines. Barghothi added that the firm of
McConnell & Associates, out of Cary, N.C., had drawn up the plans and they were 75% complete.
Commissioner Johnson asked the time frame. Barghothi said a maximum of 480 days. The
earliest completion date would be January of 1999 - - no later than March 1999.
Commissioner Johnson asked about the contingency amount. He asked if there was a
possibility the County could benefit from any leftover funds. Barghothi said yes, and that everything
was ahead of schedule and the project was under budget.
Commissioner Boone asked what would happen if Iredell County chose not to participate in
the funding. Barghothi said Troutman could not do the project unless the County assisted. Mr.
Boone asked if the money needed to be upfront. Barghothi said, "We are asking for some type of
commitment." Mr. Boone then asked about annexation plans. Barghothi said Troutman could not
take in the entire area because of legislative dictates.
Commissioner Stewart asked if Troutman would borrow its portion of money. Barghothi
said a portion would be borrowed.
