REQUEST FROM NORTH IREDELL RESCUE SQUAD FOR MODIFICATION
OF PROMISSORY NOTE: The county manager said a promissory note was approved in June
of 1997 in the amount of $87,000 with an interest rate of 5.60% per annum, fully payable in 24
months for the North Iredell Rescue Squad. In May of this year, the chairman of the rescue squad's
board of directors requested all extension on the note's maturity date. The reason given for the
extension request was the squad desired to purchase a new ambulance. The original note had an
extension option, and the request was approved with a new maturity date of December 31, 1999.
Now, the county manager said, the rescue squad desired to pay a lump sum of $15,000 on the note
and extend the maturity date on the balance until December 31, 2000. As of December of this year,
a balance of $99,733 would be owed; however, if the squad pays the $15,000, a balance of $84,733
will exist.
Commissioner Bowles asked what entities funded the rescue squad.
Mashburn said the county, the United Way, and private contributions.
Commissioner Johnson said Lowes, Inc., had given money to the squad in the past.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to instruct the county attorney to draft another
promissory note for North Iredell Rescue Squad in the amount of $84,733 with an interest rate of
5.9%. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
