AMBULANCE SERVICE SATELLITE STATION IN NORTH IREDELL: Mr. J. P. Van Hoy said he understood
there may be some changes in the location of the EMS now in Harmony. The Tri -County Medical Park
has eight acres of land, located at Tabor Road and N. C. 901. Mr. Van Hoy said he has talked with
the school authorities, and they are interested in moving the principal's home at Union Grove
School. He suggested this building could be moved to the Tri -County Medical Park and used for the
EMS headquarters.
He said if the board decided to locate the EMS at the Tri -County Medical Center Park, a
permanent location could be offered for $1 a year.
LOWRANCE HOSPITAL: Mr. Deal, county manager, said the Lowrance Hospital sale/lease bids are to
be received until 5:00 p.m., October 7, 1985. He asked the board to consider appointing one addi-
tional county commissioner to tha committe to review these bids. One member has already been
appointed --Mrs. Alice Stewart --and one additional member needs to be appointed.
After a discussion, Commmissioner William A. Mills agreed to serve on this committee.
EXECUTIVE SESSION SCHEDULED: The county manager, J. Wayne Deal, asked the
board to consider adjourning this meeting until Monday, October 7, 1985, 12:00 Noon, County Annex
Building, for an executive session regarding the Inspections Department.
WEST IREDELL MATER CORPORATION: Mr. Sam Hindman, president, West Iredell Water Corporation,
distributed copies of the engineering study just completed for West Iredell Water Corporation. He
said these reports are preliminary, not final at this point.
Mr. Hindman said that a lot of the information was not recommended. One particular proposal
seems to be more favorable than the others. It is a more expensive one, he said. This is an
interconnect with Alexander Water Corporation at Liberty Church Road in Alexander County, coming
down the Old Mountain Road with an 8" line, tying with West Iredell Water Corporation's 8" line at
Bradford's Crossroads. The estimated cost is $530,000.
Mr. Hindman said some investigations were being made regarding the possibility of getting some
Economic Development Block Grants, and he found there is some money available. They have people
working in their behalf to try to secure this grant. They will need help from the county to
administer this grant. Application for this grant must come from the county. Mr.
Hindman asks the board's help with this, and they would like to move on it as quickly as possible.
Mr. Hindman asked to go on record as asking for the board's cooperation and assistance in securing
an Economic Development Block Grant or any Clean Water Bond money that might be available that could
supplement this CDBG.
Chairman Hedrick raised the question of interconnecting West Iredell Water Corporation with
Iredell Water Corporation, as discussed with Mr. Cash McColl, president, Iredell Water Corporation.
If this is possible, Chairman Hedrick asked if the $528,000 connection with Alexander Water Corpora-
tion would be better than perhaps a cheaper version with Iredell Water Corporation, if Iredell Water
Corporation can supply them with an adequate amount of water.
Mr. Hindman said Mr. McColl was under the impression that West Iredell Water Corporation's line
came closer to Iredell Water Corporation than it does. Mr. Hindman said he did not believe connec-
tion with Iredell Water Corporation would be a viable solution. Mr. Hindman said discussions were
being held about forming an association of water corporations within the county, and he believes
this will be a reality within the near future.
FS r. Victor Crosby said he thought the county should look at connecting West Iredell Water
Corporation with Iredell Water Corporation. ..--
Mr. Deal said he had a meeting with Dale Jones at EDA to talk about some of these things and
see what the procedures are and see what the next step would be.
Chairman Hedrick suggested waiting until the county manager reported back to the board after
his meeting with Mr. Dale Jones.
Mr. Koontz, County Line Volunteer Fire Department, asked that the board not forget about the
fire departments as they make their decisions regarding water lines.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Commissioner Mills to adjourn the meeting.
Next meeting: October 7, 1985, 12:00 Noon, County Annex Conference Room,
Statesville, NC.
