OF POSSIBLE, AGRREMENT WITH CITY OF STATESVILE 6 TOWN OF
XO01gE.SVIi I RR TO OPERATE COUNTY The county
manager advised that in the past there was communication with the
City of Statesville to consider a proposal wherein they would
contract with the County and operate recreational programs.
Recently, further discussions have been held. A letter of intent
has been written, however, it is now felt a resolution calling for
a joint committee to do a study and to come back with a
recommendation pertaining to payments for service and terms of
agreement is the best course to take. The county manager stated
that all he was requesting was a resolution establishing a
committee to present an inter -local agreement for the consideration
of the governing bodies by January 1, 1994, with the idea that the
governing bodies would act on the agreement no later than March 1,
1994. This deadline date is being used so everyone will have time
in the budget process to make the necessary arrangements.
Commissioner Boone stated he had an open mind about this
matter, and he was sure that more discussion would follow about
recreation. He also stated that there was a mistake in the inter-
local agreement in that it should read two-thirds of one tenth of
a percent of the tax base. "This addresses a concern I have, and
this is with the price of the contract -- for the first year, if
you take what we are currently spending and substract the amount
going to parks and the amount going into lapsed funds that we are
not paying for a director's salary this will probably be in the
ballpark of what we are now paying. However, we have gone to a
four-year revaluation and starting in 1995 the size of the tax base
will probably increase significantly. If the formula stated in the
letter of intent is used, the amount of funding would increase
significantly. I can't help but think that some of the
representatives of Statesville knew this when they suggested it be
drawn up this way. I would suggest that any increase in funding be
tied to the inflation rate, or the consumer price index and
population growth, rather than to the tax base."

Provide for an Inter -Local Agreement.
