the complexities of the position had increased. Another problem factor was finding someone to
work at the suggested salary.
Niblock said it would not be necessary to increase the salaries line item this year since the
vacancy had been open for so long. Also, because two long-time employees were expected to retire
before the end of this fiscal year.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the position had been evaluated in the recent DMG salary
study. Mashburn said no, and the recent difficulty in recruiting a qualified individual was what
alerted everyone to the problem.
REQUEST FROM CARDINAL GLASS FOR WATER ASSISTANCE: Mr. Mashburn
said this company previously thought a water tower would be the chief source of water; however,
it has been determined there is not sufficient pressure. Cardinal representatives recently met with
Chairman Haire, the county manager, the Town of Mooresville officials, and individuals from the
South Iredell Community Development Corporation (SICDC). During the meeting, it was
suggested that a loop be installed. Mashburn said this accessory would enhance the industrial park
for other businesses. The estimated cost for the loop is $360,000. Cardinal has agreed to provide
$150,000. The Mayor of Mooresville, Joe Knox, has proposed that Iredell County, Mooresville
and the SICDC split the remaining costs ($210,000). Iredell County's share would be $70,000.
The commissioners held a discussion on possible ways to assist the company and which
funding source to use - - contingency or capital reserve. It was agreed that contingency would be
the best source. Mr. Mashburn said the money would need to be appropriated to the Town of
Mooresville, if approved.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 6:25 p.m
