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.
