The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular
Session on June 10, 1993, 6:00 p.m., for a budget work session.
The meeting was held in the County Commissioners' Meeting Room of
the Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street,
Statesville. The meeting was changed from the South Wing
Conference Room because of the power outage that caused damage in
the Annex Building.
Those present for the meeting were:
Sara K. Haire, Chairman
David A. Boone, Vice Chairman
Diane M. Hamby
Alice M. Stewart
Absent: C. Douglas Madison, Jr.
Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager
Susan G. Blumenstein, Director of Finance and
Administrative Services
Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board
Chairman Haire called the meeting to order. Mrs. Blumenstein
distributed the report on the Justification of Telephones requested
by Commissioner Boone. Chairman Haire suggested that the board
members take it home and study it over the weekend and talk about
it on Tuesday.
SOLID WASTE ENTERPRISE FUNDS Mr. Ron Weatherman, Solid Waste
Supervisor, was present to review this budget with the board.
Regarding the capital expenditures proposed in the budget, a street
flusher is being requested. $300,000 is for a transfer station at
Love Valley and an improved facility at Mooresville, with
assistance from the Town of Mooresville. There is need to address
the Mooresville station this year and the transfer station in the
Love Valley area.
Chairman Haire questioned the $6 charge made when people bring
trash to the landfill in a pick-up. The fee is not collected at
the site, but people are billed for it. Mr. Weatherman said it
would take an additional person at the Mooresville Transfer Station
in order to take cash for payment of the $6 charge. The
Mooresville Station is open seven days a week.
Chairman Haire inquired about a volume credit. L. Gordon's
annual fee for landfill use is $300,000. This is for the "fluff"
that is brought to the landfill out of car seats, etc., from
Gordon's. The EPA and OSHA requires the fluff to be wet, and the
water makes the fluff weigh more, which makes it more expensive to
landfill.
It was brought out that this is a product that is not
generated in Iredell County.
Chairman Haire asked if the landfill officer was busy all the
time. Mr. Mashburn said he was very effective in his job.
Commissioner Haire said she thought he could be called upon to
police the junk yard ordinance. Mr. Weatherman said the officer
already works with the health department.
Chairman Haire said she gets a lot of calls about junk.
Mr. Mashburn said he felt that the budget fairly represents
the needs for next year. If a program of collections is begun at
Mooresville Transfer Station, it will take another person.
Chairman Haire inquired how many tickets are written at the
