LAKE NORMAN MARINE COMMISSION BUDGET: Mr. Bob Randall, Iredell County Board of Commissioners'
representative to Lake Norman Marine Commission, came to the board meeting at the request of the
board members to discuss the Lake Norman Marine Commission budget. Mr. Randall discussed the budget
in detail. He stated that the contracted services were for the secretarial services of Mrs. Hilda
Threatt, Centralina Council of Governments, for acting as clerk to the marine commission board,
keeping accounting records, etc. This is at a cost of $11,000 annually, as listed in the 87-88
budget. He gave a detailed report on the insurance costs and explained the Car/Boat Replacement
line item of $5,000. This is so that the commission can build up a fund balance to use to replace
the boat without having a large sum in the budget in any particular year for this replacement.
Regarding the minutes for the board meeting, Commissioner 'Ostwal t
requested that more detail be
written in the minutes so that the county commissioners could be advised of the activities of the
marine commission. Mr. Randall said he would see that more information was given the county commis-
sioners. Chairman Hedrick requested that this report be forwarded to the county manager and disbur-
sed to the county commissioners. �^
Chairman Hedrick raised a question regarding a user fee schedule for the activities that were
exclusively related to Lake Norman. Mr. Randall said the legislation for the Lake Norman Marine
Commission does not permit charging of fees and explained that it would be difficult and cumbersome
to collect.
Commissioner Ostwalt inquired what Mr. Lute's job ways with the Lake Norman Marine Commission.
Mr. 'Randall said -He perceived 'Mr."Luti's job to be one of protector�of property.
Chairman Hedrick inquired how critical it would be if Iredell County did not increase their
payment to the marine commission. Mr. Randall said that the enabling legislature called for all
four counties contiguous to the lake to pay equal amounts for the marine commission. If Iredell
County did not raise its appropriation to that of the other three counties ($19,928), then the other
three counties (Mecklenburg, Lincoln, and Catawba) would have to reduce their amounts to that of
Iredell County. Mr. Randall said the commission could continue one year using the $5,000 that is
set aside for the boat replacement; however, after that time, it would not be able to exist.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that due to the fact that the other counties seem to think the
Lake Norman Marine Commission is worthwhile, that Iredell County put in the $1,200 reduced from
their budget request. (Note: This would make Iredell County's total $19,928, up from $18,728 as
currently budgeted.) These funds are to come from Fund Balance Appropriated,
VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Murdock, Ostwalt, Crosswhite; Nays - 2 (Stewart; Hedrick).
Chairman Hedrick requested that the staff contact the commissioners from the other three
counties involved in the Lake Norman Marine Commission so that they could try to come up with some
sort of user fee plan that would work.
PLAN OF CODIFYING ORDINANCES FOR IREDELL COUNTY: Two quotations were submitted to the board
for consideration to perform the work necessary to codify the Iredell County ordinances. A plan of
work was outlined showing what steps would have to be taken to do this work. The two quotations
received were:
. Lewis and Lewis $12,000, _.
Mupicipay Code $10,000 ,.
Both companies were quoting on 100 copies based on 400 pages, the Lewis quotation was $28/page over
400, and Municipal was $30/page over 400. It is believed that the document will not contain over
300 pages total.
Staff recommended the Municipal Code quotation, based on their lower price and their experience
record in this type of work.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite that the County award a contract to Municipal Code Corpora-
tion in the amount of $10,000 for codifying the county's ordinances, subject to approval by the
board of a written contract.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
CONTRACTS WITH THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS FOR DELIVERING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES IN THE
FIRE TAX DISTRICTS: These contracts were presented to the board for approval. The contracts are
all the same, with the variance to the various contracts regarding funds being set forth in the
formula for funding fire departments as discussed earlier in this meeting. The county attorney has
