the end of Fanjoy Road that is included in this tract. Mr. Lundy
said there is a 90 -acre tract that fronts on Bell Road and goes
back into the direction of Fanjoy Road.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this decision until
the next meeting on April 6, 1993.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REVISION OF THE NONE AND COMMUNITY CARE BLOCK GRANT: Mrs.
Anne Johnson, chairman of the HCCBG Advisory Board and member of
the DSS staff, presented this request. The change in the number of
units came about because of the overcalculation with current staff
and because of the difficulty in maintaining staff with low hourly
wage. Also, in the original plan, DSS staff had failed to include
costs other than aide salaries, such as overhead. Mrs. Johnson
said this newly calculated unit price is more in line with the
other agency's unit cost price. The HCCBG Advisory Board has
approved this revised unit cost and recommends the county
commissioners' approval.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the request from
the HCCBG Advisory Committee for the revised unit price.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
RESOLUTION REQUESTING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PROHIBIT
FEDERALLY MANDATED PROGRAMS: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to
approve the following resolution:
RESOLUTION REQUESTING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS TO
PROHIBIT FEDERALLY MANDATED LOCAL PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, Congress has increased local taxes by mandating
programs without providing funding for such mandated programs, and
thus has avoided political responsibility for said tax increases;
and
WHEREAS, state and local governments have been required to
respond to federal funding cuts by either increasing taxes or
reducing services to citizens; and
WHEREAS, mandated programs now account for approximately 50
plus percent of local tax expenditures; and
WHEREAS, funding of mandated programs through local tax
dollars limits the ability of the County to provide needed
services, infrastructure and capital needs; and
WHEREAS, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners believes
that it is in the best interests of the citizens of Iredell County
to prohibit legislation which mandates local services without
providing adequate funding for said services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Iredell County Board of
Commissioners that the Board requests of the North Carolina General
Assembly and the United States Congress that Constitutional
Conventions be convened specifically for the purpose of considering
constitutional amendments to prohibit federal legislation that
mandates local funding of programs or services without providing
funding for said programs and services.
