HEALTH DEPARTMENT - 1994 IMMUNISATION ACTION PLAN (IAP) FUNDS
- BUDGET AMENDMENT #29: Mr. Bill Mashburn said he was in a meeting
with Governor Hunt last Friday to improve child immunization rate
in North Carolina, a part of an eight-year action plan, he said.
The health department has received funds to try to improve the
immunization rates in Iredell County. He is asking the board's
approval of receipt of these funds and to budget these funds to be
used for data processing hardware and software, medical supplies
(needles, syringes), community awareness (flyers, magnets), and
travel reimbursement. The total amount is $11,000. Two PHN I
Grade 69 staff members will be hired for 18 hrs a week.
Because of the deadline of getting in the plan, Mr. Mashburn
said they had polled the board members and had reached 10 of the 11
members of his board, all of which approved the program being
recommended here this evening, he said.
The total grant is $32,000, $11,000 of which will be spent in
FY 93-94, with the remainder being carried forward to FY 94-95, Mr.
Madison explained. This is all state money.

1994 Immunization Plan (IAP) Funds, in the amount of $32,000,
$11,000 of which will be spent in FY 1993-94, with the remainder to
be carried forward to 94-95, and will be covered by Budget
Amendment 129.

ENGINEERING - SAMPLE RESOLUTION FOR STATE BOND FUND
APPLICATION - ELEVATED STORAGE TANS i FIRE HYDRANTSt Mr. Carson
Fisher, staff engineer, presented this information. He distributed
information he had gathered on what would be needed on the
application. He reviewed with the board the information he had
gathered on what would be necessary to put into the application.
He said the board would need to decide whether they would apply for
a grant or a loan. The only grants available are for "high Unit
Cost" projects, which means they serve projects that would increase
the cost of service to an amount where monthly bills would be
considered excessive, which would be about $40 a month. Iredell
Water Corporation does not charge anywhere near this amount,
therefore, the project would not be suitable for this type of
funding.
Mr. Fisher enumerated some things that have to be done in
order to make the application. One of these is that the county
would have to pledge certain revenues to repay this loan. Also the
question still remains if the county can build the tank and lease
it back to Iredell Water Corporation.
The total cost of the 200,000 elevated water storage tank is
estimated to be $399,000.
Chairman Haire asked what the interest rate would be with a
conventional loan. Mrs. Blumenstein said you could not get the
