The Iredell County Board of Commissioners submitted a request for an allocation of funds from the 1986 General Assembly. Senator Bill Redman asked that the County come up with a concrete plan and resubmit the request during the 1987 General Assembly. The county commissioners heard proposals from three local architectural firms in early 1986. These proposals were for complete architectural work in connection with the renovation of the building and were all based on a percentage of the overall cost of the renovation. At the request of Chairman Larry Hedrick, this matter was placed on the agenda for further discussion by the board. Mr. Gene Krider from the firm of Pendleton, Leonard & Krider, has suggested that since the renovation is planned to be completed in phases, it would be a good idea to have the complete working drawings done in advance to eliminate unnecessary costs in the event of overlapping work in the phases. After further discussion Chairman Mills appointed a committee comprised of Commissioners Mur- dock and Crosswhite and Mrs. Alice Fortner from the County staff to come up with a specific proposal for using the old courthouse and how to go about implementing such a plan. This recommendation should be brought back to the board by the second meeting in January 1987, in time to submit a request to the 1987 General Assembly. Mr. Deal, county manager, pointed out that Harnett County had just completed an arrangement on a new lease -purchase of a building. This was discussed at the manager's meeting during the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners in Winston-Salem. Mr. Deal said he would like to get more information on the arrangement. Mr. Deal also named some other departments of county ,�...- government that are in need of additional office space, which are Sheriff's Department and Health Department. He also discussed a proposal that the City of Statesville and the County had been discussing, which is putting the two building code enforcement departments in the same building, the old city hall building. This is to be discussed further at the joint meeting of Statesvill^ and the County on September 22nd. APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES AT LANDFILL: The county manager had solicited proposals for engineering services at the landfill. This was based on a directive by the board in executive session on April 29, 1986. A proposal with Municipal Engineering Services, Raleigh, NC, in the amount of $29,000 is being recommended by the County Manager. MOTION from Chairman Mills to approve the proposal of $29,000 between Municipal Engineering Services and Iredell County. Funds are to come from the landfill budget. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
