It would just be a different spread in the way the money is received and no difference in the amount received, Boone said. Dr. Register said Mr. Boone had asked him at the break if the board could consider this change in the appropriations. He said this is a very quick reaction to this suggestion, but he thinks this would be a workable plan, he said. They are looking at property and making plans and are looking at a construction time of the first of 1995. Chairman Haire inquired if Commissioner Boone is proposing to change the Mooresville Schools funding also. He said he thinks in all fairness the board would have to give the same out per pupil, since this is the way it has always been done. This would spread about $152,000 of Mooresville's money into the 95-96 fiscal year, Boone said. Chairman Haire said she thought in all fairness too, the Mooresville Board should be asked the same as the Iredell- Statesville Schools are being asked, before the final changes are made. Commissioner Boone inquired if it would be possible to put this amount in Fund Balance and wait until the next meeting to see what Mooresville's comments are. Mrs. Blumenstein said it could be kept in the Capital Reserve Fund Balance. Commissioner Madison inquired if the board is under pressure to approve the budget at this meeting. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to amend his former motion and amend it to table the budget adoption until June 21, 1994, until it is found out whether or not Mooresville can live with these changes. He said he realized Mooresville had some heavy debt services in their budget this year. VOTING ON AMENDED MOTION: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Commissioner Madison said he wished to commend the staff for doing such a good job on the budget. Chairman Haire added her thanks to those of Commissioner Madison's. Mr. Mashburn brought up the information that has been mentioned about being included in the tax bills. A chart that would show by department the total of county funds had been suggested. Mr. Mashburn said the dilemma is that unless mailing of the tax bills is delayed and things may change in the budget on June 21, 1994, snf this may not be totally accurate if the appropriation to the schools is altered. The board discussed the way the charts would be shown on the tax bill. By consensus the board members agreed that the information would be on the tax bills and that the tax bills should be delayed until the budget is finally set because the percentages could be off. HOME HEALTH AGENCY DISCUSSION REsuxZDt Commissioner Madison inquired of County Attorney Pope if the Home Health Agency is put up for bid, and the final bidder cannot convince the county commissioners that they can meet the criteria, can that bid be rejected. Mr. Pope said he thought if the criteria is established and sufficiently clear in advance and the bidder does not meet the criteria, the bid could be rejected. If the bidder does meet the criteria and the bid is rejected, then Mr. Pope said he thought the board would have a problem. Commissioner Madison and Commissioner Hamby discussed the reason for bidding.
