The amount of funds being requested by the Iredell County Schools is $10.4 million.
Commissioner Murdock inquired if this included the Troutman Elementary School, the Mt. Mourne sewer
system, and the East Elementary School changes. The Iredell County School system was also
requesting a letter of commitment from Iredell County regarding these three projects so that work
could begin on them prior to a bond referendum.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the funding of capital for the other two school systems.
Chairman Hedrick said there would be equal sharing amnng the three systems for the bond issue.
The county commissioners and county manager agreed that it would not be wise to include certain
items on the list from the Iredell County Schools. Mr. Deal suggested that the list should be
studied with the officials at the Local Government Commission and get their opinion on whether it
would be advantageous to include certain things in a bond package. The county manager was to meet
with the Local Government officals to discuss the county schools' list.
Chairman Hedrick and the other board members directed the county manager to move as quickly as
possible to pursue this matter with the Local Government Commission in reference to what items
should be deleted from the list and also to contact the other two school systems to determine their
interests for the bond issue.
