DISCUSSION OF IREDELL NATER CORPORATION'S $1.5 MILLION LOAN
APPLICATION FOR FARMER'S ROME ADMINISTRATION, FIRE HYDRANTS AND
ELEVATED NATER TANK: Mr. Carson Fisher presented this information.
Mr. Keith Snoddy from the Iredell Water Corporation was supposed to
be present; however, he notified Mr. Fisher that he would be unable
to be present because he was going to be on vacation. No action is
being required by the board. The information is a preliminary
request for the board of commissioners to fund approximately 15
fire hydrants on some water extensions for which the Iredell Water
Corporation is in the process of preparing to go to Farmers Home
Administration. Mr. Fisher said the original amount was $1.5
million but in the latest correspondence with Mr. Snoddy the cost
has been dropped to $1.3 million.
Mr. Fisher said the Iredell Water Corporation is also asking
the County to consider funding a portion of the total cost of a
200,000 gallon elevated storage tank that would be located close to
the intersection of Old Mocksville Road and Church Lake Road, in
the vicinity of the new East Iredell Middle School. The estimated
cost for the elevated storage tank is $399,000.
Mr. Fisher outlined the plans for the water line extensions.
The Iredell Water Corporation plans to come to the board at a later
date with a formal request for these funds. They are still in the
process of making the application to Farmers Home Administration
and wanted the county commissioners to be considering their needs
in the near future.
Chairman Haire said the board would receive this as
information at this meeting, and Mr. Fisher will come back later
with a proposal on this matter.
SOLICITATION LETTER FROM REPRESENTATIVE MEL WATT FOR PROPOSED
8ITE8 TO EBTAELISH NEW JOB CORPS CENTRRBt Mr. Mashburn said this
letter was received from Congressman Watt concerning the location
of a Jobs Corps Center. Evidently he has notified all the counties
in his district. The staff wished to make the board aware of this
letter and see if there is any interest by the board in pursuing.
Chairman Haire said the board would receive this as
information, and if any of the county commissioners wished to put
it on the agenda at a later date, it can be discussed at that time.
NO BOARD ACTION.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH REAPPRAISAL OF REAL PROPERTY
EVERY FOUR YEARS: Chairman Haire said this was continued from the
July 6, 1993 meeting. Mr. Brent Weisner said this resolution would
move the effective date of the next revaluation from the year 2000
to January 1, 1995, and advance every revaluation thereafter to
every four years. Mr. Weisner said it has been his experience with
other counties who have done this is that they are very satisfied
with the results of the change. He thinks this is the way most
counties will go in the future.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the resolution as
presented.
Commissioner Boone said he thought there were good arguments
on both sides. He discussed both sides of the issue and said the
bottom line is there would be some increase in overhead in going to
a four-year valuation, acknowledging that there are very good
arguments on both sides.
The following is the resolution:
WHEREAS, General Statutes 105-286 requires all real property
be appraised at least once very eight years; and
WHEREAS, the same statute allows any county that desires to
conduct an early revaluation to do so upon adoption of a resolution
so providing; and
