The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Adjourned Regular Session on Tuesday, October

Staff Present: William P. Pope, County Attorney
Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board
CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick
DISCUSSION OF RELOCATION OF HIGHWAY 90 FROM ALEXANDER COUNTY TO I-40: Mr. Harry Robertson,
Member of Board of Transportation, was present to discuss the captioned project. He said they would
begin the survey on the west end of the project next week. This survey would be for this first
segment, which is approximately five miles to the Paul Payne Road.
Commissioner Murdock inquired when and if a public hearing will be held in Iredell County. Mr.
Robertson replied that the hearings had already been held in the middle of the project. He said
they had held meetings in the afternoon and in the evening to accommodate the public with different
schedules, etc.
Chairman Hedrick inquired about holding an information meeting in Iredell County for the
benefit of the citizens who were interested in the location of the road. Mr. Robertson said he had
no problem with holding such a meeting. The maps showing the proposed relocation of N. C. 90 could
be brought to this meeting. He also said that when the advertisement was run for the meetings held
earlier, the ads stated that maps were available at the Highway Department in Statesville and in
Taylorsville.
After further discussion, Chairman Hedrick suggested that an information meeting be held at
Scotts Elementary School Gymnasium, with two meetings to accommodate those with different schedules
and the elderly.
Commissioner Murdock again stated that she did not understand why a hearing was not held in
Iredell County because Iredell County has more mileage.
In reference to the proposed meeting at Scotts Gymnasium, Mr. Robertson said that he would get
in touch with Raleigh Office to set it up. He would like for the design engineer to be present to
answer questions the public may have. The date of November 10th was suggested as a good time to
hold the meeting. It was thought that it would not be necessary for any of the county commissioners
to be present. Mr. Robertson was to get in touch with the Raleigh officials and confirm the date
with Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board.
Note: Following this meeting, the confirmed date set for the Information Hearing at Scotts
Elementary School Gymnasium was changed to November 17th, 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., due to a conflict
of the State Official's schedule.
REPORT ON RE-ROUTING U. S. 64 THROUGH ALEXANDER COUNTY: Mr. Robertson reported that everything
has been done that can be done from the state level. He said the proposal is now in Washington.
They will be meeting there the first of December, and should have an answer on the name change by
the first of 1988.
EXECUTIVE SESSION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn to Executive Session for the
purpose of studying the resumes for the county manager position.
