MANAGER'S REPORT: Mr. Deal discussed the following items with the board:
IREDELL WATER CORPORATION - WATER LINE TO NORTH IREDELL HIGH SCHOOL: On September 1, 1987
a> (Minute Book III, pp. 843-844), the board took action to award the contract for a water line
extension to North Iredeil High School. The low bidder was Bell Construction Company. (Note: All
1` bidders are listed in Minute Book III, p. 843.) The motion was made by Chairman Hedrick and
unanimously adopted by the board, with a provision that an agreement would be drawn between Iredell
County and Iredell Water Corporation for repayment of these fund to the county over a 20 -year period
at no interest. However, the two entities were unable to immediately reach an agreement for the
purposes of the lease.
In working out the negotiations, the amount for water meters was deducted from the contract
amount. This is to be paid from another source by Iredell Water Corporation. In addition, the
county committed to pay for the fire hydrants. This change in price reduced the amount of the
contract with Bell Construction to $133,916.
Mr. Deal now presented the finished lease agreement between Iredell County and Iredell Water
Corporation, and recommended that the board approve this agreement as presented with the addition of
a statement that the first payment will be due one year from the date the County accepted the line
from the contractor. Mr. Deal stated that Iredell Water Corporation has elected to make twelve
monthly payments annually.
Mr. Deal discussed the source of funds for this project. Sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) is
to come from the Senate Bill #2 funds and the remainder is to come from the county's water and sewer
fund.
MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the lease agreement with Iredell Water Corporation,
subject to the conditions imposed by the county manager and the county attorney.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that the board award the bid for the construction of a water
line to Bell Construction Company. The bid is in the amount of $133,916, and that the chairman and
clerk be authorized to execute the contract with Bell Construction Company for this work after the
lease agreement has been executed by Iredell County and Iredell Water Corporation.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
STATE GRANT FOR MAPPING: Mr. Deal referred to this item that was on the agenda for October 20,
1987, and was tabled awaiting additional information from staff. Mr. Lundy, planning director, was
present and said he had talked with Mr. Don Holloway from the State office, and Mr. Holloway said
the State would be flexible in their permit of how the county could use these funds. It was noted
that when the County applied for the grant, the proposal was to use the funds for remapping
territory that was to be annexed into the City of Statesville; however, since that time Statesville
has decided not to annex this territory. Therefore, some other use acceptable to the State must be
found for these funds.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that the board accept the grant and negotiate with the State
on the use of these funds.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
DISCUSSION OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS: Mr. Deal said there were difficulties
in some of the county's software programs. He especially mentioned mapping, tax collections, tax
supervisor, and inspections departments. He said the county is moving toward a land record manage-
ment system; but before the program can be completed, there is a need to acquire different software
so that when a change occurs on a parcel of property this change could be entered throughout the
