COUNTY KKNAGER'S REPORT
1994 TAX BILLS TO'Blf MAILED ON AUGUST 26, 1994: Mr. Mashburn
announced that the 1994 tax bills will be mailed on August 26th.
There will be increases in the fire taxes. The City of Statesville
had an increase and this will be included on the bill.
INFORMATION FROM THE NCACC REGARDING PROPERTY TAX RATES AND
SCHOOL FUNDING: Mr. Mashburn presented this to the board for
information.
NESTING WITH THE REGIONAL JAIL TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn
reported on the meeting with this task force where both he and
Commissioner Boone were present. They received the first report
from Sedgwick James and he presented copies to the board at this
time. Mr. Mashburn called the board's attention to an item in the
report that shows Iredell County is booking more people into their
Jail than Catawba. Future projections are the same, he said. The
average length of stay in Catawba County Jail is 7.1 days and for
Iredell County it is about 4 days.
Commissioner Boone said the significant facts that have been
established is that to meet the needs by the year 2015 will take a
facility of 150 to 200 beds for both counties. These would be
minimum security beds. There are plenty maximum security cells in
the existing facilities. These are new beds.
WORK SESSION PLANNED FOR COUNTY C0XK1SSI0NERs: Chairman
Haire discussed a possible work session for the county
commissioners, sometime in September to discuss the overlay
district that was put on hold sometime ago. Chairman Haire said
she had agreed, if it is the pleasure of the board, to serve on a
task force for the Catawba River Study, and she thought maybe they
should wait until the four counties agree on standard rules and
regulations before the county gets into the overlay district. She
asked the board for comments on this matter, whether the other
board members thought the board should proceed with the overlay or
wait until the Catawba River Study is completed.
Mr. Mashburn said the Iredell Statesville School Board has
selected an architect for the new South Elementary School building,
and he thought it might be a good idea at the next quarterly
meeting with the school board to take a look at the schematic
design of that facility. The county commissioners have expressed
some concern in the past with the design of certain facilities, and
he thought it would be good for the school board to keep the county
commissioners abreast of their plans.
