time.
Commissioner Stewart inquired how many children stay in mobile
units from K-5. Dr. Carrigan said they would not stay in the
mobile units all the time. They have developmental day and some
other special programs that are in mobile units, but not regular
classrooms.
Commissioner Stewart said people (usually those who don't want
their taxes increased) say what is wrong with mobile units for
classrooms?
15 -MINUTE BREAK
MOORESVILLE TRANSFER STATION: Mr. Woodis, Carson Fisher, and
Ronald Weatherman were present to discuss the plans for the
renovations to the Mooresville Transfer Station. Mr. Woodie
displayed a graph that showed the land swap involving all the
property owners located near the Mooresville Transfer Station site.
Tentative agreements have been reached regarding the swap of land;
however, no contracts have been signed at this time. Commissioner
Madison made a motion to proceed with the land transfers as
proposed. The voting for the motion was unanimous.
Ron Weatherman said there are now about 720 cars a day that go
through the transfer station. There is $700,000 in the Capital
Projects Budget for building the new transfer station.
Mr. Woodie presented the drawings that show the layout of the
proposed transfer station and how the traffic would be routed to
the various areas of the project. He described the need of a
control point through which to route all traffic for giving
directions and instructions.
Carson Fisher discussed the fly ash being deposited across the
road from the transfer station, which is being brought there by
Duke Power Company. There will be a need for a temporary transfer
station area while the modifications are being made at the
permanent site. The area across the road from the transfer station
is being considered, Mr. Weatherman said. They will have to have
temporary personnel to hand feed the boxes, he said.
Mr. Weatherman said there is about 120 to 160 tons of solid
waste that goes through the transfer station each day. Mr.
Weatherman said there might be an additional 50 tons a day when the
new transfer station is in place. So they may reasonably need to
plan for 200 tons a day in the beginning.
Mr. Woodie said they have not attempted yet to place a cost of
the new transfer station. There is $700,000 in the Capital Budget.
Mr. Woodie said with this facility, he would suspect they would be
pushed to get it under that and provide what you need to provide.
Commissioner Hamby inquired if Mooresville was planning to
contribute toward this project. Mr. Mashburn said he thought
Mooresville was looking at a minimum of $100,000.
Mr. Woodie said their firm has done about eight or ten of
these transfer stations, and the cost is there. The scales are
going to cost $38,000.
LENGTH OF USE OF TEE PRESENT CELL AT TBE LANDFILLS In answer
to questions, Mr. Weatherman said they had originally anticipated
that the first cell of the landfill would last five years; however,
with the increase in solid waste tonnage flow, they are now
estimating close to 4 1/2 years instead of five years.
