APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
• FIFTH STREET MINISTRIES/DIAKONOS, INC., - REQUEST FOR DONATION OR
LEASE OF OLD TRI -COUNTY DETOXIFICATION CENTER PROPERTY (WILSON
LEE BOULEVARD): Gary West, Executive Director of Fifth Street, said this agency was in
need of additional space. Several uses of the former detox center are proposed since the property
is in close proximity to Fifth Street Ministries. West explained that Fifth Street would not have the
financial means to purchase the property. He also said Fifth Street paid the Iredell-Statesville
School System ten dollars per year for usage of an old school building site. The county manager
advised that the detox center was jointly owned with Rowan County. He mentioned RowanCounty
did not have a problem with the proposed leasing arrangement. There is a modular unit on the
property, but it has been transferred to Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to lease the detoxification center property to Fifth Street
Ministries at $10 per year with the following stipulations.
• Fifth Street will maintain the property.
• Fifth Street will pay the utility costs.
• Fifth Street will vacate the property if Iredell/Rowan Counties determine a future
need for the site (the counties to give proper notice to Fifth Street).
