the number of planning, board members from 12 to 11.
In discussion the motion, it was established that the number of members would be
addressed in the Proposed ordinance pertaininv, to rules and regulations for the
planning board, and it would therefore be unnecessary to have separate board action
to cover the number of members to constitute the board. Consenuently, Mr. Campbell
withdrew his motion.
IRFDFLL CnHNTY SCHOOLS - MUTUAL EXCHANGE AGRF,F.MENT: Commissioner Mills addressed
the board, the news media, and others Present rewarding, the cancellation of the mutual
exchange agreement with the City of Statesville Schools and Mooresville Schools.
Mr. Mills said he was personally affected because one of his children is directly
affected by the chancellation of this agreement. However, he said, he believed that
the board will have to look at some of the ramifications that affect the board. He
feels that this decision will have some far-reaching effects since the board will be
asked to fund capital-tyne improvements for which the county is not prepared.
As the average daily membershin total continues to decline, Mr. Mills said, it
is obvious that Mooresville and Statesville will be facing some school closings,
