committee to the board and said it was the unanimous decision of his committee to recommend the
funding of Phase II as outlined by the engineering firm, Camp, Dresser & McKee, Raleigh, and that
this agreement be entered into immediately.
Mr. John Roberts and Miss Ann Cole, CDB representatives, discussed the study with the county
commissioners and staff members. The board members discussed the concerns of both the county
commissioners and the water sewer committee members about Phase I of the contract. There were some
expressions by the board members about the fact that Phase II of the contract was going to cost
$8,000 more than the original estimate. It was also expressed that much more time than had been
originally estimated by the engineering firm was required on Phase I.
Mr. Roberts said the Phase II study would take approximately six months. Mr. Deal asked if it
were not possible to receive this information in less than six months as certain information from
this phase would be needed for budget preparation for the 1986-87 fiscal year. Mr. Roberts said he
could have preliminary draft figures for this purpose.
Cost of the Phase II was quoted by Mr. Roberts as $40,000.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to authorize Camp, Dresser & McKee to proceed immediately with the

side that this road is scheduled for paving and most likely would be done in the spring of 1986.
The Greenbriar Road residents also spoke about the traffic signal located at the intersection

long waits at the intersection. The chairman asked the clerk to look into this matter with the
Department of Secondary Roads at Shelby.

architectural quotations on renovating the old courthouse. The work is being proposed to be accomp-

permit.
The board was in consensus with this position.

Design Associates, Statesville. Mr. Gene Krider and Mr. Bill Leonard, representatives from

sition of historic grants for renovation of historical buildings.
The board discussed other court houses across the state that have been renovated and are
presently being used as offices. A list of these buildings was presented to the board. Chairman
Hedrick appointed Mrs. Jessie Crosswhite and Mrs. Frances Murdock to visit some of these court
houses to gather information for possible use in this project.
Chairman Hedrick named other agencies of the county who need additional office space, and he
said he believed what we should be doing is to find out what our total needs for office space are.
Chairman Hedrick said that we were going in that direction with these architectural quotations on
the old court house building.
Mr. Deal said an overall plan for office space needs would be good. This way planning could be
done and determinations could be made.

Museum, discussed with the board his concerns about the location of the children's museum. He said
they had considered asking for space on the first floor for the museum.

stored elsewhere.

PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL AUDIT, 1984-1985 FISCAL YEAR: Mr. Bill Furches, Finance Officer, had
mailed each of the board members a copy of the annual audit performed under the audit contract with
D. A. Ervin and Company, Mooresville.
The board discussed the fund balance briefly. The fund balance is now at $1.8 million, which
is 7.9% of the total budget amount. Mr. Furches said he would like to see us have a larger fund
balance because of the cash flow capabilities during the low period of tax collections.
COUNTY VEHICLE USE POLICY: The board had received through the agenda mail-out a copy of the
proposed County Vehicle Use Policy. Mr. Furches discussed this policy with the board at this time.
Mr. Furches said the policy meets the Internal Revenue Services' regulations for vehicle use and
addresses proper care of the county's vehicles by those employees who drive them.
Mr. Wayne Deal, county manager, said most of these policies were now being followed by the
staff at this time; it was the intention to get this policy in writing.
One of the matters addressed in the policy is the appointment of a committee to review acci-
dents that occurred when driving county vehicles. Mr. Bill Pope, county attorney, recommended that
the findings of this committee be turned over to the county attorney.
The County Vehicle Use Policy is to be placed on the February 4, 1986 agenda for final approval
by the board.
BIDS FOR VAN AT SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Mr. Bill Furches, finance officer, presented the bids
for the van at the sheriff's department to the board. These formal bids were opened by the county
on January 17, 1986.
The following bids were received:
DEALER BID
Boggs Motor Company $12,833.30 (exceptions)
Bell & Howard Chevrolet $13,668.42
Mooresville Motor Company $14,358.00
The amount of $13,200 was budgeted for this vehicle, and it is to be used for the Canine
Officer for drug information, crime prevention, and other needs as they arise.
The recommendation from staff was for the low bidder, Boggs Motor Company, to be awarded the
bid. After a discussion of the bids, it was the consensus the board that the air conditioning
quotations were not equally considered by all the bidders, and Mr. Furches was asked to do further
review of all the bids by eliminating the dual air conditioning from all the bids for an equal
comparison.
INSURANCE FOR ROPES COURSE: Mr. Jim Wall, Acting Recreation Director, came before the board
to discuss the possibility of acquiring insurance for the Camp Adventure Program (Ropes Course).
This program has presently been cancelled because of lack of liability insurance. It was reported
to the board that Webb Insurance Agency says the insurance is available at a premium rate of $5,000
to $10,000 annually.
During the course of the discussion, a question was raised regarding the possibility of raising
the fee charged for the Camp Adventure Program to offset the premium cost of the liability insur-
ance. This fee charged would be based on a "reasonable expectation" of the number of participants
in the program. Commissioner Mills said he thought the fee presently established should be looked
at to see if it is in line with the expenses.
Mr. Bill Pope, county attorney, said as long as the county has adequate insurance, he would
feel comfortable with the ropes course continuing.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills that we allow the county manager and the recreation department
to work out the fee for the Camp Adventure Program based partially on the premium cost of the
liability insurance that will be purchased for this program.
Further, the liability insurance that is being purchased is not “all risk" insurance; it is
purely general liability that pays only where the county has liability. The liability insurance
will not pay every claim; it only pays where the county has some negligence.
The county is not waiving its immunity except to the exent that insurance is available.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MOORESVILLE AMBULANCE SERVICE: Mr. dohn Fleming, Emergency Medical Services Director, and Mr.
Wayne Deal, County Manager, discussed with the board a proposal for acquisition of the Mooresville
nie ga eal
5635
Ambulance Service. This would be effective July 1, 1986. The proposal was developed after the Town
of Mooresville gave notice that they would not provide ambulance service after June 30, 1986.
Two proposals for providing ambulance service to Mooresville were submitted by Messrs. Fleming
and Deal. One plan is to assume the Mooresville service and leave all the existing services as they
are now. The second proposal is to close the Troutman base and handle all Troutman area calls
through Mooresville or Statesville. Since there is not a lot of time left until the county assumes
the operation, decisions need to be made right away. The major decision to make, Mr. Deal said, is
how to deal with the Troutman station.
In the 1985-86 budget year, the county allocated $165,000 to fund 60% of the cost of operating
the Mooresville Ambulance Service. Total first-year cost, deducting the subsidy now being paid to
Mooresville and including the capital necessary in 1986-87 fiscal year, and based on leaving the
Troutman station as it presently is located, is $370,469. Mr. Fleming said subsequent years would
be less than this amount because the capital expense would be unnecessary.
Mr. Fleming said he would like for the ambulance station to be at the hospital. He said almost
half the ambulance calls originated at Lowrance Hospital, so he thought the best place for the
station was at the hospital. The hospital has the facilities and space for the station, Mr.
Fleming said. Mr. Deal said he had spoken to officials at the hospital, and said they were very
interested and would like to discuss the matter.
Commissioner Mills inquired about the additional response time if the Troutman station were
closed. A discussion took place regarding response time.
Commissioners Murdock, Stewart, and Crosswhite said they would like to see both the Troutman
station and Mooresville station remain.
Members of the Troutman Rescue Squad were present and said they appreciated the Troutman EMS
station being left in Troutman. They said they would have two rescue units that were certified as
ambulances that could be used in emergency situations.
RESOLUTION REGARDING LANDFILL: The chairman gave the county manager a resolution in reference
to landfills and asked that he look it over.
WATER AND SEWER STUDY: Chairman Hedrick said he had suggested to the Camp Dresser & McKee firm
that they come down in their price for Phase Ilof the water and sewer study. Mr. Hedrick said he
received a letter from the firm saying they would do less study. The county manager said he and the
company official are still hammering out the cost. Taking out the section that addresses the lake
area was one of the things suggested by CDM, yet this is one of the things stressed from the start
as being in the study. Another thing that was added to the study by the water and sewer study
committee was the disposal of effluent that comes from pumping out septic tanks, which is a special-
ized problem.
Mr. Deal said he and the CDM representative will try to have something to present to the board
at the next meeting.
BOARD PLANNING SESSION: Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the progress the county mana-
ger has made regarding the establishing of the planning session. Mr. Deal said they could not do
the planning session in January or February, but could do it in March. He did not get any specific
dates. Mrs. Crosswhite said she would like to recommended March 15 or 22 as a date.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to exert all efforts to secure the weekend of March 22nd

board's attention to articles she had requested to be distributed to the county commissioners for
their information.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Commissioner Mills to adjourn.
VOTING: Ayes - 0; Nays - 5.
BID BONDS FOR SHERIFF'S BID ON VAN: Mr. Bill Furches, Finance Officer, came before the board
in reference to returning the bid bonds for the van bids. He said he would like to return these bid
bonds for the obviously high bidders.
Another problem is there is a possibility on Chevrolet and Ford vans they may not be able to
reduce their bids from dual air to single air, so he may have to ask the Dodge dealer to figure an
564
add-on dual air unit so that an accurate comparison can be made. Mr. Furches was asking the board's
permission to return the bid bonds of the obviously high bidders.
The board consented for these bid bonds to be returned.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Commissioner Mills to adjourn the meeting at 10:10 p.m. Next meeting:

NATIONAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE MONTH: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to accept the following special
resolution:
COMMUNITY COLLEGE MONTH
The more than thirteen hundred community, technical, and junior colleges,
public and private, in the United States have contributed enormously to the
richness and availability of American higher education. Nearly half of all
undergraduate college students in the Nation today are enrolled in such
institutions.
By providing educational opportunities at costs and locations accessible
to all who are qualified, community, technical, and junior colleges have
generally enhanced the opportunity for every ambitious student, young or old,
to enter a postsecondary school program. As community-based institutions,
these schools provide varied programs and offer specialized training for more (
than one thousand occupations.
The Iredell County Board of Commissioners joins with the Federal and
State government in recognition of the important contributions of community,
technical, and junior colleges to our total educational system, and especially
recognizes the contributions of Mitchell Community College to our own
community, and hereby joins the Federal and State governments in proclaiming
the month of February as
NATIONAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE MONTH
and commends its observance to the people of Iredell County for appropriate
activities that express recognition of the significant contributions these
institutions have made.

ordinance: (1) All dogs and cats shall wear a collar showing name of owner, address of owner and
telephone of owner, (2) No dogs or cats that are unattended by owners shall be allowed to pack
together. This can mean one or more dogs to gether, one or more cats together, (3) In no circum-
stance shall anyone be allowed to kill a dog just because he wants to unless it is endangering human
life and unless he is hurting a farm animal, (4) rephrase this law as not as a dog leash law but as
a dog collar law. Then you are putting the burden on the owner. (5) Any dog that is picked up
without a collar and is later claimed, then the person shall be fined. Thinks cats should be
included in the ordinance.

some revenue to the county in addition to advancing medical research.
Cathy Heinnen: In favor of selling dogs for research.
Questioned if there could not be both leash law and optional dog lot.
Bill Brater: Inquired when the board would consider this subject again.
Chairman Hedrick: In the near future. Mr. Hedrick said he believed the problem does not lie

STATE 401(K) PLAN: Mr. Bill Furches, Finance Officer, discussed with the board a
memorandum regarding State 401 (K) Plan.
State legislation in 1984 caused all law enforcement officers employed by local governments to
be members of the State's Supplemental Retirement Plan; to allow local government officers to make
voluntary contributions to the plan on a tax deferred basis through payroll deductions, to transfer
Special Annuity Accounts of members of the Law Enforcement Officers' Retirement System to the plan,
and increase the court costs assessed in criminal cases by $1.25 and credit the proceeds as contri-
butions to the plan in the accounts of local government officers on an equal per capita share basis.
Branch Banking and Trust Company was selected by the State to administer this plan. Mr. Furches
was asking permission from the board to allow all county employees to participate and that the board
adopt a resolution that would allow voluntary contributions from the county employees who wish to
participate in this plan. A clause may be inserted to limit it solely to the law enforcement
ee ‘ bi aes re . ape On x . me: "Ripe etn. Seb ex Mites AA AREA A AAS | Pee ER a

officers, but Mr. Furches was asking that all county employees be included. A copy of this resolu-
tion would be forwarded to Branch Banking and Trust Company.
MOTION FROM Commissioner Mills to adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina, by action of the 1984 General Assembly, has adopted the
Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina pursuant to which the State of North Carolina,
its departments, agencies and instrumentalities are authorized to provide a supplemental retirement
income plan to conform with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended, and
WHEREAS, the governing body of this unit realizes the necessity of providing its employees with
the benefits of the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Iredell County Board of Commissioners in regular session,
1. That the Iredell County Board of Commissioners hereby elects to
participate in the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of
North Carolina.
2. That the Iredell] County Board of Commissioners hereby agrees to
comply with all the provisions of the Plan and the operating
procedures of the Administrator of the Plan.
3. That the Iredell County Board of Commissioners is hereby ordered
and directed to make application to the Board of Trustees of the
Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina for the
enrollment of this Unit and its employees in said Plan.
Upon motion of Commissioners Mills, the above resolution was introduced and approved on the 4th
day of February 1986.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
COUNTY VEHICLE USE POLICY: The discussion of this agenda item was continued from the January
21st meeting. The board discussed with the county manager and the finance officer the law enforce-
ment officers’ taking county-owned vehicles home, Mr. Deal said the way the policy is presently
written prohibits the employees from taking the vehicles home with them.
Another item addressed under this policy would be persons on vacation or
sick leave are to turn in their county-owned vehicles to the garage while they are away. The policy
has been changed to place the responsibility on the department head to see that this is done in the
event the employee is unable to do that.
Under the accident reporting section of the policy, changes were made to have reports written
up when bump-ups occur with the heavy equipment also, The county attorney recommended that when
accident reports are written up, names of witnesses be recorded also, so in the event litigation
occurs, the witnesses of an accident will be known.
The board discussed with the staff disallowing installation of personal equipment on county
vehicles. An example is CB radios that are placed in the sheriff's cars by employees. After the
discussion it was the consensus of the board that the installation of personal equipment would be
allowed if approved by the county manager and installed by the county garage. Approval by the
county manager would be required prior to the installation of any personal equipment. This was to
be specified in the policy.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills that the County Vehicle Use Policy be adopted, to become effec-
tive February 19, 1986, subject to the changes being made on February 18th, which is the next
meeting of the board.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING NEEDS: Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, informed the board he had been
discussing the county's office building needs with a firm who does studies to determine needs of
this type. He has just received a proposal from a firm, but he has not yet had an opportunity to
review it. Mr. Deal said he would bring it to the next meeting of the board.
COUNTY PARKING NEEDS: Mr. Deal said the staff was in the process of looking at property for <
additional parking area for the county employees at the Old Court House Annex Building. He would
like to discuss this matter in executive session with the board later on in the meeting.

WATER-SEWER STUDY, PHASE II CONTRACT WITH CAMP, DRESSER AND MCKEE: Mr. Deal said he had
discussed the captioned contract with CDM and had made them aware that the board was unhappy with
Phase I of the study and would require a more quality product in the Phase II portion of the
contract. Mr. Deal has meet with the CDM officials while he was in Raleigh on this date.
INCINERATION OF SOLID WASTE: Mr. Deal said he had been talking for some time to C & H Waste
Energy, a company from Mooresville who is working to develop an incineration system in Rowan County.
C & H has a strong interest in this county providing waste to that facility. Mr. Deal said he
believed it would be worth our time and would be appealing to transfer waste from our transfer
station in Mooresville to the incinerator in Rowan County. The company has given Mr. Deal a copy of
a contract that they used with another unit, and they are in the process at this time in altering
this contract to make it applicable to the Iredell County situation. Mr. Deal wants to forward a
copy of this contract to the county attorney for his review and to the county board for them to look
14,
Tentative quotation is $7.50 per ton for solid waste from the Mooresville Transfer Station.
This can be transferred to the incinceration site and it would be no farther than the landfill
destination. The county would save on the use of the landfill, extending the life of the landfill.
It would be easier on the equipment to transfer to Rowan County. Mr. Deal believes this is well
worth looking at and will bring more information to the board as soon as it is available.
There are no specific dates at this time as to when the facility will be available. Tentative-
ly they have said it should be in operation in 1987. They are presently working with the State on
the permit. A firm contract is expected with a large company to use the steam for generating
electricity by February 27th, at that time the plans would be certain.
REPORT ON LAKE OWNERS GATHERED IN CONCERN (LOGIC) MEETING: Mr. Deal reported on the LOGIC
meeting, saying that a group of Iredell County officials met with officials from the other counties
that border on Lake Norman. The group felt it was best for each county to address the needs of its
respective county and see if the needs cannot be handled that way. If not, they would get together
again and discuss it further. In the meantime each of the counties were to write the person from
whom they received a petition and share that information and ask them for names of individuals from
the respective counties who are members of LOGIC so that they could be contacted to talk about
problems at the Lake area and what could be done to address them.
DISCUSSION OF ROWAN/IREDELL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT: Chairman Hedrick reported on boundary
questions with Rowan/Iredell and Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Departments and said he had gotten in
touch with the Fire Marshal to see if this matter could not be handled in the same manner the
Davie/Iredell and Harmony Volunteer Fire Departments was handled. Mr. Hedrick said they had been
unable to get a meeting scheduled at this time, and asked Mr. Deal to see if he could not urge the
Fire Marshal to arrange such a meeting between the Cool Springs and Rowan/Iredel! Volunteer Fire
Departments. ~

Pope discussed getting law students to assist with delinquent tax collections. Mr. Pope said he and
the county manager had been discussing this and trying to get some kind of analysis as to what is

CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR BANKING SERVICE: Mr. Bill Furches, Finance Director, presented a
list of banks bidding for banking services for period July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1988. Three bids
were received. Mr. Furches said each bank used a different method to submit their bid, so he had
changed it to dollar cost per year. Using this method he came up with the following bids:
BANK COST PER YEAR
Branch Bank & Trust $11,350
NCNB $15,140
Wachovia $37,500
First Union No Bid
First Citizen No Bid
Mr. Furches recommended Branch Bank and Trust Company as despository for all Iredel! County funds

—. Accident Policy
Upon
will
resul
Effective jmmediately, an Accident Review Committee will investi-
gate all accidents involving County owned vehicles and heavy equip-
ment (including those in parking lots, etc.) The Committee's purpose
will be to fairly assess the accident and determine if the employee
was negligent. The Committee will consist of the County Manager,
Finance Officer, Garage Superintendent, Safety Officer, and the
Department Head of the employee involved. Based on all facts given the
Committee, a decision will be made as to whether any disciplinary
action will be taken. A copy of the Committee's evaluation will be
placed in the emp loyment filed.
Regardless of the situation, the following procedures must be
followed in the event of an accident.
1. Notification of the proper law enforcement agency.
2. Notification of the Department Head.
3. Preparation of an Iredell County Accident Report. This report must
be completed legibly in quadruplicate. This report along with four
copies of the law enforcement agency report and narrative statement
of the supervisor should be turned in to the Finance Officer.
4, Preparation of the Workmen's Compensation Claim form if there was
any personal injury.
The above forms are required to be filed within 48 hours of an accident.
completion of the Accident Review Committee's investigation, the employee

are assigned clean and are expected to remain the same.
4. Installation of equipment which is not property of Iredell County
will be not allowed. The County Manager may approve installation
of equipment neither owned nor regularly maintained by Iredell
County if deemed important in the performance of job duties.

F.
canes 4; ee clas Mal Biss 2 Cede igi tcc
As the time approaches for this periodic maintenance, the driver
of each vehicle shall call the Garage Superintendent to set up
an appointment for service. Preventive maintenance is the key
to prolonging the useful lives of the vehicles, and this will be
strictly enforced.
7. EMS vehicles will be given top priority when needing repair work.
Minor repairs to the ambulances will be taken care of immediately
in order to cut down on costly change over time between ambulances.
8. A “Maintenance Request" form is required to be filed by the operator
for specific maintenance complaints other than period maintenance.
This form is to be prepared in duplicate. One copy will be signed
by the garage employee making the repair and returned to the operator.
The second copy will be retained at the Garage.
9. Emergency type repairs are to be reported to the Garage Superintendent
immediately. For example, a burst water hose can cause minor
frustration and delay but costly damage can be done to the engine from
overheating if an effort is not made to report the problem and have it
corrected.
10. In a situation such as the example above it is best to drive off the
road and stop. Call the Garage Superintendent for emergency service
and the problem will be taken care of as soon as possible. If the
situation arises in the night or on a weekend, the problem will be
assessed by the Garage Superintendent and repaired on the next working
day.
11. If you call the garage and make an appointment for maintenance, either
be there or let someone at the garage know why you will not be there.
Daily schedules at the garage are adhered to as much as possible but
emergencies will sometimes arise. The Garage Superintendent always
lets a scheduled appointment know if he will be unable to keep the
appointment. The same is expected if an employee cannot make an
appointment.
12. Employees of the County Garage will perform all maintenance and
repairs of vehicles. Only specific work authorized by the Garage
Superintendent can be performed by someone other than the County
Garage employees.
Failure to comply with the above-mentioned maintenance procedures
can result in loss of vehicle, suspension, demotion or dismissal.
Spare Vehicles
1. There are spare cars located at the garage which can be borrowed
during times of major maintenance to an assigned vehicle. The need
for a spare car and major maintenance to an assigned vehicle will be
determined by the Garage Superintendent.
2. Any required maintenance to a spare vehicle must be reported to the
Garage Superintendent when the vehicle is returned. This includes
flat tires. The purpose of spare vehicles is to be able to provide a
vehicle in good running condition when needed.
3. Do not return spare vehicles to the garage with anything less than a
full tank of gas. Make it a point to fill the tank and charge the
gas to your department before returning it to the garage.
Rules regarding Operation and Care and Spare Vehicles will be
strictly enforced. The Garage Superintendent has been instructed to
report those employees who do not adhere to the rules to their respective
Department Head. If it is a Department Head who is not following the
rules, it will be reported to the County Manager. The Superintendent has
a special form to fill out and discuss with the proper official. In
either case some type of disciplinary action will be taken.
Heavy Equipment Operation
1. Operators of heavy equipment are required to wear safety helmets
and safety glasses when operating equipment which is not enclosed.
Hearing protection will be worn as required by OSHA regulations.
2. The policies outlined under E. Accident Policy will apply to heavy
equipment as well as on-road vehicles.
All other policies contained within the overall County Vehicle
Policy Policy applicable to heavy equipment operation shall be
strictly enforced.

DISCUSSION OF PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY AND WATER AND SEWER LINES TO SERVE THE
INDUSTRIAL SITE: Chairman Hedrick made the board aware of the possibility of
a new industry that is considering locating in the southern United States.
The marketing representative for the industry is considering five southern
localities, two of which are in North Carolina, and both of these are in
Iredell County. One potential site is in the Mooresville area, and the other
is the Crawford Road area.
Requests from both the Mooresville Chamber and Statesville Chamber for
preliminary commitments from the County for funding of these water and sewer
line extensions is required.
Chairman Hedrick discussed the project briefly. The company plans to
hire 850 employees initially and expand to 1,000 employees. Seventy per cent
of the jobs will be for women. The company manufactures electronic
components.
Commissioner Mills expressed concerns about the company.
The county manager, Wayne Deal, recommended the board make a commitment
based upon its existing water/sewer line extension policy.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to authorize the chairman to write a
letter stating that the board of county commissioners would agree to run water
and sewer lines in accordance with the existing water and sewer extension
policy as long as the presentation that the company representative has made is

PROCLAMATION OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following
proclamation:
COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK
North Carolina county government has served the citizens of the state since 1663 when the
County of Albemarle was authorized by King Charles II. Today there are 100 counties in North
Carolina providing services to more than six million people. As the population has increased and
service needs have undergone major changes, the role of county government has evolved to meet those
demands.
Counties are active partners in the governmental structure of this state and the nation. They
are responsible for a growing number of services: social services, health care, mental health,
libraries, veteran's services, tax assessment and collection, planning and zoning, parks and recrea-
tion, water and sewer services, ambulance services, sheriff's departments, deed registration, buil-
ding inspection, and agricultural extension. They also provide funding for local schools. Many of
these programs are mandated by state and federal law, but are administered and/or funded by coun-
ties.
County officials remain dedicated to providing as many of the needed services as possible
without placing an undue burden on local taxpayers. Counties throughout the years have contributed
to North Carolina's tradition of good government. The elected and appointed officials in county
government take great pride in serving the citizens of this state and in being directly involved in
shaping the future of North Carolina.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners joins James G. Martin, Governor of
the State of North Carolina, in proclaiming the week of February 23 through February 28, 1986 as
"County Government Week" in North Carolina, and urges the citizens in Iredell County to learn more
about county government's role in our lives and to be more involved as county citizens.

houses in the state since each one is different. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to proceed

renovation. :
The county manager said he would like to bring a report on acquiring a study for assessing all
county office needs, and would bring that at the next meeting.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Commissioner Murdock said since each court house is unique she believed it would be a good idea
to appoint a committee and use senior citizens who have been familiar with the court house over the
years.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES - ELIGIBILITY SPECIALIST: Mr. Don Wall, Social Services Direc-
tor, and Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, discussed a proposal for two additional eligibility specia-
list positions at the Social Services Department. The purpose of the request for two additional
positions is to reduce the overload of work in eligibility applications for AFDC and Medicaid. It
will also help in maintaining a higher degree of accuracy, help to get the processing of paper work
done in a more timely manner, improve morale, and help maintain a high level of service to the
community, Mr. Wall said.
The cost of the two positions is $7,674 for the remainder of this fiscal year. The county's
share is $1,279 per month. There are adequate funds in the FY 1985-86 budget to support these ¢
positions, Mr. Wall reported.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to accept the recommendation of the Department of Social
Services Board and fund the two eligibility specialists positions for the remainder of FY 1985-86 in
the amount of $7,674.

Mooresville had requested the right to retain one of the four older ambulances for use as an
equipment truck. In reviewing this request, both Mr. John Fleming and Mr. Wayne Deal felt it would
be better for the county to retain all four of those units and to make available to Mooresville a
1981 Ford ambulance that has been taken out of service due to high mileage. This is a 1981 model
280
Ford Ambulance, Serial #1FDKE30L2BHA51313, with a mileage of 88,298.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to accept the County Manager's recommendation and transfer this

the following bids to the board:
Datascope Corporation $11,620
Physio-Control $14,352 |
Survival Technology (received too late for the bid opening)
During the course of the discussion, Mr. John Fleming entered the meeting and discussed the
bids with the board. Mr. Fleming said the Datascope Corporation bids did not meet the specifica-
tions. He brought the defibrillator/monitor to the meeting, showed the equipment to the board, and
explained now it worked.
AScar further discussion, MOTION was made by Commissioner Stewart to accept the bid from the
Physio-Control Company for two defibrillator/monitors in the amount of $14,352, which meets the
specifications.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - BID FOR NINE PATROL CARS: Ms. Evie Caldwell presented these bids to
the board, which are:
Bell & Howard Chevrolet $107,327.70
Boggs Motor Company $108,334.17
Mooresville Motor Company $104,429.63
Ms. Caldwell said that Mooresville Motor Company did not have the proper bid bond with their
bid; therefore, the bid was disallowed. Ms. Caldwell also explained the exceptions to the specifi-
cations. She said there were five exceptions to the specifications, three of which were upgrades to
the advertisement and two minor items were eliminations to the specifications.
The staff recommended Bell & Howard Chevrolet, the next low bidder at a total of $107,327.70
for nine automobiles.
In addition to these nine cars, one car was totally wrecked recently. The insurance company
will pay for the replacement car. The bids received for these nine cars were available for
additional cars, therefore, a tenth one to replace the wrecked vehicle was proposed to be ordered
also.
The unit price per car is $11,925.30, for a total of $119,253.00 for ten cars.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to accept the lowest qualified bid from Bell & Howard at
$107,327.70.
Commissioner Mills amended his motion to purchase ten cars, unit price of $11,925.30, for a
total of $119,253.00.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT - ASSISTANT PROGRAM DIRECTORS: Mr. Jim Wall, Recreation Director, oe
requested a reorganization of the recreation department. Mr. Wall proposed to do away with the
Assistant Recreation Director, Grade 66, position, and substitute two program directors at Grade 64,

The two program directors would fulfill the duties of (1) director of athletics, and (2)
outdoor education.
Mr. Wall said there would be an overall decrease in the department's salary portion of the

REPORT ON PHASE II OF THE WATER AND SEWER STUDY BEING DONE BY CAMP, DRESSER & MCKEE: Mr. Deal
discussed the revised contract with the Camp, Dresser & McKee firm for the Phase II of the water and
sewer study. The total contract price is $35,900.
Questions were raised about when the Phase II would be completed. Mr. Deal said if the board
wished to have a general obligation bond referendum during the November 1986 election, it would be
necessary to have completed the study by late August, which he thinks is quite feasible under the
present schedule.
No motion was made by the board to accept the contract terms, but the board was in agreement
ic bt ET

with the $35,900 amount. The contract will be brought before the board at the March 18th meeting for final action.
Several board members expressed concern that this will be a better study than the Phase I portion was.

MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn from executive session.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
SALE OF COUNTY PROPERTY TO THE PURPOSE OF ERECTING A KIDNEY DIALYSIS SERVICE: Chairman Hedrick directed the County Manager to write a letter to Health Systems Management, conveying the good wishes of the Iredell County Board in their location in Iredell County; however, the hospital property figures strongly in expansion of our governmental needs. In light of that, the board is not in a position to declare the proper surplus for any other use.
BIDS FOR BANKING SERVICES: These bids were submitted at the February 18th meeting, and the finance officer was asked to make further study of the matter before final action by the board. Mr. Furches had taken an even closer look at the proposals and recommends the Branch Bank & Trust proposal of $11,350 a year.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to accept the low bid and designate Branch Bank & Trust as the County's depository for period beginning July 1, 1986 and continuing through June 30, 1988.

After the staff has had an opportunity to review these bids, they would need to be presented to the board with a recommendation. The board set March 12, 1986, 12:00 Noon, as a time for a meeting to award the contract on the engineering bid as well as the contract to administer the CDBG-ED grant.

CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick
IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS - BUDGET AMENDMENT: Dr. Don Williams and Mr. Franklin Ivey from Iredel]
County Schools came before the board regarding a recent bid for renovations and new construction to
Ebenezer School. Dr. Williams and Mr. Ivey showed the plans to the board members who discussed the
plans and asked questions of Dr. Williams and Mr. Ivey.
An additional $30,000 is needed in order to award the bid, Dr. Williams said. They have funds in Contingency which were not needed during the heating season. In addition to this Contingency they have earned $24,000 to $25,000 in interest. Dr. Williams asked the board to amend the school budget to shift $40,000 from these two sources, Contingency and Interest, to Capital Expenditures so that the bids could be let.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to transfer $40,000 within the current school budget to meet the needs of the construction bids. These funds are to come from the schools' Contingency with the
balance coming from their Accrued Interest.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
TAX SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE - RAILROAD CASE: Mrs. Lois Troutman, Tax Supervisor, made a report to
the board on the status of the legal suits with the railroad companies.
Mrs. Troutman said the County has picked up $4.6 million in assessed value for the 1980 fiscal
year. They do not have the assessments for 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985. In order for the
County to get these assessments, Mrs. Troutman said it would be necessary to notify Raleigh that the
County is not going to fight the case any more. Mrs. Troutman said the County's attorneys in this
matter recommend that the County not fight the assessments any more.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to accept the recommendation not to proceed with the legal battle,
and authorize Lois Troutman to notify the Ad Valorem Division of the Department of Revenue to this
effect.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
DATES SET FOR BOARD OF EQUALIZATION AND REVIEW HEARINGS: The following dates are set for the
Equalization and Review Hearings:
norti 7, 14, 21 at 7:00 6.m.
April 28 at 5:00 p.m.
May 19 at 7:00 p.m. (adjourn)
REPORT ON THE ENGINEERING BIDS FOR THE I-77 AND NC 150 PROJECT: Mr. Deal, County Manager,
reported on the status of the engineering bids for the captioned project. The staff has been
reviewing these bids and, accompanied by Mr. Troy Scoggins and Mr. Homer Faulk, has interviewed the
four low bidders. Plans are to make a recommendation to the board on Tuesday evening, March 18th.
PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PREMIUM FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS: Mr. Deal presented a statement
from the insurance carrier covering the insurance for the fire departments. He said the County
would be paying the entire premium and it would be charged back to the individual departments, which
would result in a savings to all the volunteer fire departments.
No action was required on this matter.
PROPOSED 1986-87 BUDGET DISCUSSED: Mr. Deal discussed the upcoming budget preparation and
asked the board for any suggestions they wished to make regarding a format for the new budget.
283
Chairman Hedrick suggested that the prior three years' budgets plus the new budget be shown, if not
on the regular budget sheets, then on additional sheets. This could be used to show trends in
budget figures.
Mr. Deal said he would like to give the board more detailed figures on what is mandated by law
for the County to fund.
Commissioner Mills asked about costs for office space for agencies the county is required to
furnish, i.e. courts, etc. It was suggested that the cost for operating such buildings could be
included also. Mr. Mills said he believed this was a tremendous cost, and he thought it would be
interesting to look at these costs.
It is believed that General Revenue Sharing would be gone by the first of July. The County may
receive the first entitlement, which is $145,000, but no funds at all may be received. General
Revenue Sharing loss will result in a 3 1/2 cent tax increase to maintain the same level of
revenues. Total amount lost will be $890,000.
An additional cost in the new budget will be for the Mooresville Ambulance Service and the
implementation of the 911 system.
The board discussed briefly the schools' requests for the new budget year. It is understood
that they will be asking for $50 per pupil for current expense, which is approximately $800,000 or
3¢ on the tax rate.
Mr. Deal mentioned the Gramm-Rudman Act and the impact it will have on the counties. Mr. Deal
said the county will be asked to pick up funds lost through federal and state government.
Departments he specifically mentioned are agricultural extension service, health, etc.
Mr. Deal said the fire chiefs for the volunteer fire departments were unanimously in favor of a
supplemental tax for all the volunteer departments who are outside the municipalities and those who
already have a district fire tax. The fire chiefs were discussing which would be the best route to
take--one special district for the remaining fire districts or to have individual districts as for
the remaining fire departments.
In discussing the revenue side of the budget, Mr. Deal projects a 3-5% growth in tax base,
which will result in approximately $1/2 million or less than two cents on the tax rate. Additional
sales tax is projected to be approximately $250,000.
BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Chairman Hedrick had previously suggested a Budget Advisory Commit-
tee to be involved in the budget making process. This committee would be comprised of citizens with
expertise in finance and budgeting. Mr. Deal said it was rather late in the season to get a
committee formed and involved in the budget process this year, but that a committee could be appoin-
ted and would have time to learn from the process this year, and in the following year could serve
in advisory capacity.
Discussion was held regarding charging fees for use of the landfill. Mr. Deal said a lot of
things were involved, such as using the 40 cu. yd. sites and how a service charge could be made for
those. In addition a capital investment for scales, etc., would need to be made before the County
could get into charging fees. He sees this as something that could not be ready by July 1, 1986.
Mr. Deal said he had given an April 1 deadline for the department heads and agencies to get
their budgets into his office. He will start work on the budget on April 1, and hopes to have the
budget to the board by the middle of May.
The board discussed the Mavorettic Bill regarding the repeal of all property taxes and
implementation of sales taxes. Mr. Deal discussed the effect this bill will have on general obliga-
tion bonds.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn at 1:35 p.m. Next meeting: March 18, 1986,
7:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2.

INVOCATION: By Vice Chairman Mills
SPECIAL RESOLUTION IN REFERENCE TO FARM LOANS: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the
following special resolution:
RESOCCGIIGSA
WHEREAS, many business concerns, including agriculture, are
facing uncertain economic times; and
WHEREAS, due to the strong U. S. dollar in the world market,
increased imports, the long-term effects of high interest rates on
old loans, and the cumulative effect of inflation; and
WHEREAS, the profitability of farming has decreased
drastically with the increased restrictions on tobacco marketing
and the increase in assessments, the decrease in profitability on
U. S. made products when competing with imports; and
WHEREAS, the final effect of the economy is the closing of
businesses, the merger of businesses, and the foreclosure of
businesses and the liquidation of farms.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of es
Commissioners of Iredell County requests lending institutions,
the state government, and the federal government to refrain from
pursuing farm foreclosures for the calendar year 1986.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the lending institutions and
various governmental agencies work with the financially depressed
accounts and assist in the re-organizing of debts. In this way,
the lenders stand a better chance of recovering the monies loaned
and the debtors stand a better chance or remaining viable in
their business concerns.
Adopted this the 5th day of March 1986.

ABSENCES FROM THE MEETING: Chairman Hedrick announced that the county attorney, !!illiam P.
Pope, and Commissioner Frances Murdock would not be present this evening.
IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Mr. Bill Holman, Manager of Iredell Water Corporation, came before
the board regarding a recent allocation of State Funds for water distribution lines the County had
allocated to Iredell Water Corporation on December 17, 1985. The county commissioners on that date
approved an allocation in the amount of $112,500 to be paid from the Senate Bill Funds, subject to
approval from the Attorney General's Office for funds to be used in this manner (as a match to
Farmers Home Administration funds). The Attorney General's Office subsequently approved this match
and the approval was confirmed. This water line extension would serve 20 additional users including
Olin Volunteer Fire Department and North Iredell High School.
After discussion with Farmers Home Administration, Mr. Holman said the crux of the matter is
that FmHA has a problem with taking fine farm land and promoting subdivision developments. One of
the lines proposed on December 17th does lend itself to subdivision development.
Mr. Holman says they still want to serve the same area, including North Iredell High School and
the Olin Volunteer Fire Department. The new plan as approved by Farmers Home Administration will
allow them to serve a greater number of people in time to come and will still service North Iredell
High School and Olin Volunteer Fire Department. Mr. Holman outlined the route of the water line for
the board's information.
The County Manager, Mr. Deal, inquired about fire hydrants along the route of the water line.
Mr. Holman said he would be glad to discuss this with him at a later time. A cost of $1200 per fire
hydrant prohibits Iredell Water Corporation from installing them, Mr. Holman said.
For information of the board, Mr. Deal said there was some concern about using the state water
and sewer money. An opinion was received by Mr. Deal, which he summarized to the board. In essence
the Attorney General is saying that you may use the state water and sewer allocation to build a line
and to lease it to a non-profit water corporation. However, it cannot be done for $1 a year lease;
it must be an arm's length transaction, basically fair market value.
Chairman Hedrick said he did not believe the board would need to approve the change in the
route of this line; therefore, no board action was taken.
ROWAN-IREDELL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT - BOUNDARY CONCERNS: Mr. Randy Wooten, chief of Rowan-
Iredell Volunteer Fire Department, came before the board. He presented a petition signed by resi-
dents of Berry Oak and Long View Roads, showing their concerns for fire protection in their area, he
said. When the State approved five-mile districts, all the territory the Rowan-Iredell Volunteer
Fire Department had in Iredell County was taken from them and given to another fire department.
Jerry Bumgarner, an Iredell County resident, spoke regarding his position in favor of
continuing to be served by the Rowan-Iredel!l Volunteer Fire Department. He said it was .8 mile from
Rowan-Iredell to the county line, and it is approximately 5.3 miles from Cool Springs to the county
line.
Chairman Hedrick inquired how many Iredell County families were served by the Rowan-Iredel]
district, to which Mr. Bumgarner replied that there was just 100 residences. With the five-mile
district, Cool Springs covers 35 or 36 of these. The remaining 65 residences will be out of the
district again.
Chuck Gallyon, Fire Marshal, spoke regarding this matter. Mr. Gallyon presented a letter from
the Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department's Board of Directors.
After further discussion, the Chairman tabled this matter until a later date, saying that the
board would take it under advisement and have a position or a solution by the second meeting in
April.
Commissioner Mills said he would like to know before the Board makes a decision how many people
we are forcing out of a rated fire district. He said he personally did not think that is the way to
go.
Before the next meeting, Chairman Hedrick asked the Rowan-Iredell VFD Chief, Randy Hedrick and
Fire Marshal Chuck Gallyon to come up with an answer on (1)how many persons would be out of a rated
fire district and (2) what a proposed definite boundary line would be for Rowan-Iredell and Cool
Springs if the five-mile boundary proposed is not acceptable.
NO BOARD ACTION.
MOORESVILLE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE ACQUISITION:The board had previously agreed to assume the
Mooresville Emergency Medical Services on July 1, 1986. Mr. Deal, County Manager, said a number of
items that would be required to begin and maintain this additional service are needed prior to July
1. Approval of additional funds for personnel - $6,450, uniforms - $2,500, medical equipment -
$24,000, VHF radio system - $4,200, UHF radio system - $56,000, for a total of $99s@60"will need to

Mr. Deal said the staff has also applied for grant funds for these expenditures, but it has not
yet been approved.
Commissioner Mills restated his position on taking money from the Contingency Fund unless it is
an emergency situation.
After further discussion, MOTION from Commissioner Hedrick to appropriate $93,060 out of
Contingency for the purpose set forth in this request by Mr. Fleming to allow him to proceed with
the bidding to obtain what he needs to obtain to get Mooresville Ambulance Service ready to go to
work on July 1, 1986.

DISCUSSION OF TRENDING OF BUSINESS PERSONAL PROPERTY: Mrs. Troutman introduced Roger Ellis
from the N. C. Department of Revenue, Ad Valorem Tax Division, who discussed with the board trending
of business personal property. Mrs. Troutman introduced Howard Vanderford, Business Personal
Property appraiser for the county.
Mr. Ellis told the board that in recent years the utility companies have been successful in
challenging the level of assessments of property in varicus counties and have managed to get tax
refunds because of this assessment level.
The biggest area of personal property in any county is business personal property, inventory,
machinery, etc. Under the provisions of the law effective recently, the Department of Revenue will
be required to analyze the assessment system in every county to determine whether or not the county
is doing such things as they deem necessary to reach the true value of business machinery and
equipment. Mr. Ellis' department has mailed out questionnaires in reference to this assessment,
and some of the counties have asked him to come and take a look at it now. Mrs. Troutman has
invited him to look at Iredell County's methodology of assessing machinery and equipment. The
county formerly used historical cost less depreciation. The recommendation from the State that they
have implemented in 80 counties throughout the state is the replacement cost approach. This
methodology is trending or indexing original cost information.
Mr. Ellis said this is an appraising technique; it requires no formal action of the board of
commissioners. However, when there is a change of methodology that affects values, then the tax
assessors want to bring this to your attention. He said he believed it was necessary for counties
to go to this method in order for them to be able to certify personal property for the purpose of
weighting personal property in connection with utility appeals. The trending concept in the accoun-
ting approach is recommended beginning in 1986 by using the manual the Ad Valorem Division has
developed.
The board members discussed this matter with Mr. Ellis.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to proceed with the trending of business personal property for the
tax year 1986.

the county board of commissioners.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to approve these fees as recommended by the county manager
and approved by the board of health at a cost of $3 each for blood glucose analysis and hematocrit.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.

for a van at the sheriff's department to the board. The following bids were received:
Boggs Motor Company $12,395.80
Morrow Chevrolet $12,640.00
Bell & Howard Chevrolet $12,778.07
Ms. Caldwell discussed the exceptions in the bids with the board. She said that the van did
not come with a spot light, but Boggs has said the spot light could be bought from a local parts
house and mounted by Boggs. Total cost of the addition of the spot light would be $121.08. With
the addition of the spot light, Boggs would still be the low bidder at $12,516.88.

MOTION from Commissioner Mills to accept “he low bid, Poggs Motor Company, including the spot
light for a total of $12,516.28.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
I-77 and NC-150 WATER & SEWER LINE PROJECT, A'MARD OF ENGINEERING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT ADMINISTRATION BIDS: ir. Wayne Deal, County Manager, stated that it was not necessary
to bid engineering proposals, but since this involved Community Block Grant Funds for this project
and the State recommends bidding when grant funds are used, the County did receive bid proposals for
the engineering of this project. The following bids were opened on February 28, 1986 for
engineering on the captioned project:
Burmeister, Wright & Associates $98,000
Frank C. Cockinos $86, 300
W. K. Dickson $89,990
Hensley-Schmidt, Inc. $96,838
Koonce-Noble $82,000
Ragsdale Consultants $64,000
Talbert, Cox & Associates $95,000
Willis Engineers $96,000
J. N. Pease & Associates $160,000
Mr. Deal stated that a committee comprised of Troy Scoggins, Mooresville Town Manager; Homer
Faulk, Mooresville-South Iredell Chamber Executive; and Alice Fortner, Assistant to the County
Manager; reviewed the bids and interviewed the four low bidders: Ragsdale Consultants, Frank C.
Cockinos, Koonce-Noble, and W. K. Dickson. It was noted that W. K. Dickson's bid was reduced by
$3,500 (removing the amount bid for administration of the Davis-Bacon Wage Review, which will be
handled under the Administration contract). The committee recommended W. K. Dickson at $86,400.
Mr. Deal stated he was unable to be present for the committee's meetings, so he met with the
committee the following day and reviewed with them their recommendations. He called the board's
attention to the memoranda from Mr. Faulk and Mr. Scoggins and the staff cover letter with their
recommendation of the Dickson firm in support of the Dickson bid in lieu of the low bid from
Ragsdale. Mr. Deal expressed his concerns regarding the low bid being so much lower than the other
bids and the repercussions this may have on the project as a whole.
Mr. Troy Scoggins and Mr. Homer Faulk made comments regarding their recommendations.
Mr. Paul Embler, Ragsdale Consultants marketing representative, was present to discuss his bid
with the board. He said his firm stands behind their bid. He said two things that helped them
present a lower bid is by the survey work that they planned to do at a savings and by using a local
person to be the project inspector which will alleviate the need for paying per diem and travel for
an inspector, which represents a large portion of the cost to the engineer.
In response to a question from Commissioner Mills regarding the firm's ability to bid lower,
Mr. Embler restated their plan to use aerial photography in lieu of physically surveying the project
and explained the procedure, which he said would save a great deal of money. The other cost item
will be the subsistence (per diem and mileage) for the inspector out of their Smithfield office.
The company plans to use a local person for this work.
Chairman Hedrick inquired about a $1,300 increase in the Ragsdale engineering cost if a lift
station were to be designed and cast in place instead of using a package plant. Mr. Scoggins had
requested a cast in place plant as opposed to a package plant. A $1,300 increase in addition to the
$64,000 was believed to be needed by the Ragsdale firm if they went with the cast in place lift
station design.
Also present was Mr. David Peeler, president of W. K. Dickson, who briefly discussed his oe
proposal with the board.
MOTION was made by Chairman Hedrick to award the bid for engineering to Ragsdale Consultants,
Smithfield, NC, in the amount of $64,000 to do exactly what the request for proposals required them
to do in terms of design work on the lift station. Chairman Hedrick said he would also emphasize
that if his motion passed, he wanted to stress the importance of Ragsdale's completing the contract
within the amount of money and the time limit of their quotation.
AMENDMENT by Chairman Hedrick to the above-stated motion include the requirement that the
project inspector that is to be hired from this area meet with the approval of the board.

989
Technice] Resources International, Ltd. $ &,670
The County Manager reviewed the proposals with the board. Because of the extremely low quota-
tion from Technical Resources International, Ltd., the firm was contacted to inquire if they had bid
the entire scope of work listed in the Request for Proposals. The principal of the firm quoted a
higher price after the opening of the bids, stating in her letter that she was raising her quotation
from $8,670 to $14,600 by increasing the total number of hours from 433 to 703. This increase in
the number of hours came about because the firm did not understand the scope of work involved in the
Request for Proposals, Ms. Eva Clayton, principal of the firm said. Because of this technicality in
raising the bid price after the bids were opened, the staff recommended that this bidder should be
disqualified and the contract be awarded to Centralina Council of Governments, second low bidder, at
$16,850.
Commissioner Mills inquired about Centralina Council of Governments' references for this type
of work, to which Mr. Deal said that their work was acceptable and they are presently administering
a grant for Troutman.
Mr. Deal said Centralina's proximity to the project was a positive factor in making a decision
to recommend COG.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to select Centralina Council of Governments, the low acceptable
bidder, at $16,580 to administer the Community Development Block Grant, subject to the County's
receiving the Community Development Block Grant.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.

following persons to the Involvement Council:

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
REGION F ADVISORY COUNCIL: Chairman Hedrick announced the resignation of Mr. Alvin Morrison
from the captioned council and that another person needs to be appointed to fill the unexpired term.
Commissioner Crosswhite said she had someone jn mind and would check to see if this person would
serve. She would do this prior to the next meeting (April 1).
TABLED UNTIL APRIL 1.
ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE: Chairman Hedrick inquired about the report back on the public
hearing and amendments to the animal control ordinance. Mrs. Alice Fortner said the staff hoped to
have this on the April 1st meeting with changes made since the February public hearing.
CONVALESCENT TRANSPORTATION: Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, shared a letter with the board
members regarding transportation of convalescent patients. Mr. Deal said the county would be better
off financially if a private company offered this service. He said his reason for bringing this to
the attention of the board is the need for coordination between the county and this company in
determining what is convalescent and what is an emergency call.
DISCUSSION OF GREEN BOXES FOR GARBAGE DISPOSAL: Chairman Hedrick inquired about the County's
policy of green boxes throughout the county. Mr. Deal said we have a problem with the boxes that we
now have. A proposal is being made in the budget for changes in the operation of these boxes. The
County now contracts with haulers to empty these boxes, the roll-off site on Highway 901, a green
box site on Highway 115 (which has always been a problem), and there is a need to construct a site
in the area of Highway 115. There is also a green box site at the landfill.
Some of the problems are with the contractor not servicing them and a problem with lack of
cleanliness around the site. Consideration is being made to recommend that the County get into the
business of hauling its own garbage. Mr. Deal said he was not in favor of adding additional boxes
without proper servicing. All of the sites are abused, he said.
WEST IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Mr. Deal advised the board that he had a call from Mr. Sam
Hindman saying he was under a deadline from Farmers Home Administration to address the water line
sitaution at West Iredell. He asked if the board would be willing to meet with the West Iredell
Water Corporation officials prior to the meeting with the Statesville City School Board. This
meeting could be held at 6:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room, Statesville, NC.

WEST IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Mr. Sam Hindman, president of West Iredell Water Corporation,
presented two route options to the board that would tie West Iredell Water Corporation's lines to
the City of Statesville. Alternate A estimated cost is $756,125., and Alternate B estimated cost of
$618,388. While Alternate A is more costly, Mr. Hindman said it was the more preferable route.
The board discussed with Mr. Hindman the two routes and the water corporation's plans. Mr.
Bill Pope, County Attorney, discussed the legal transfer of the State water and sewer funds (Senate
Bill #2) to a non-profit organization such as West Iredell Water Corporation.
The board also discussed changing impact fees as a way of recouping funds spent on water and
sewer distribution lines.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to agree to allocate $250,000 for the West Iredell Water Pro-
ject. The details for this expenditure are to be worked out at a later time, with the understanding
that it may be allocated to the City of Statesville or to some other entity.

INSURANCE: Mr. Bill Furches was present to make the board aware of the recent changes in the
County's insurance. He said that the U. S. Fidelity and Guaranty no longer writes municipal Ba
coverage and will not renew the County's policy for vehicles. Mr. Furches said he had been able to
obtain insurance through Travelers Insurance Company for all of the County's vehicles up to
$1,000,000 coverage except for the Sheriff's Department vehicles. In the Sheriff's Department he
was only able to obtain bodily injury insurance of $100,000 to $300,000 and physical damage coverage
of $50,000. Excess insurance is available through Mt. Vernon Insurance Company to bring the
coverage up to $1,000,000; however, the cost is $72,975 for 36 Sheriff vehicles for a one-year
premium. Mr. Furches said he has notified the Sheriff's Department that the limits of their
coverage lias been lowered.
After further discussion of this matter, MOTION was made by Commissioner Mills and worded by
County Attorney Pope as follows: ¢
RESOLVED that Iredell County waive its immunity to suit but only to the estent of $100,000 for

PROPOSED ZONING OF PROPERTY LYING BETWEEN THE LAKE NORMAN 760 CONTOUR AND THE COUNTY LINES:
This item of business was continued from the April 1, 1986 meeting when the public hearing was
advertised; however, this matter was inadvertently left off the April 1, 1986 agenda, The public
hearing was opened and continued until the April 15th meeting when it appeared on the formal agenda.
Mr. Lundy, planning director, identified the property on the zoning map, which currently lies
between the 760 contour line and the center of Catawba River, which is the county line. The
planning board recommends that this property be added to the county's zoning districts and be
classified as R-20 in its entirety. Mr. Lundy said R-20 classification gives the board of commis-
sioners and the planning board maximum review for treatment of problems in this area before they
arise. Mr. Lundy says legal notices have been run and everything is in order for board action. He
recommends if the board favorably approves the zoning as proposed that at the same time the board
should lift the moratorium on issuance of building permits on islands within the bounds of Iredel]
County.
In response to a question from Chairman Hedrick regarding the number of islands in the Iredel]
County area, Mr. Lundy said there are three in private ownership and another six or eight that
belong to Crescent Land & Timber Corp.
No one from the public spoke regarding this proposal.
HISTORIC PROPERTIES ORDINANCE - PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, said this
js an ordinance that has been amended. He said he thinks in essence it accomplishes what is
necessary for the county to have a historical properties ordinance.
Mrs. Pat Crooks, Chairman of the Historical Properties Commission, was present to discuss this
ordinance with the board.
Chairman Hedrick asked why the ordinance addresses the county, Mooresville, and Troutman and
does not address the other zoning jurisdictions.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said Statesville has its own commission, and Mrs. Crooks said ‘
Harmony and Love Valley wish to be excluded from the ordinance.
Mrs. Crooks gave a brief review of the ordinance. She said it empowered the historical proper-
ties commission, which is appointed by the Iredell County Board of Commissioners and the Town Boards
in the zoning jurisdictions that are listed in the ordinance (Mooresville and Troutman) to preserve
and safeguard the heritage of Iredell County. The commission operates under the auspices of the
county board of commissioners as well as the State of North Carolina.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said the procedure used by the historical properties commission
to safeguard the heritage of Iredel! County is that the commission itself recommends a property that
is of historical, cultural, or archeological significance to the county commissioners (or Troutman,
or Mooresville). These respective boards can declare a historic property.
998
A question was raised by the county attorney about the status of the six properties already
designated by Iredell County as historical property if the former ordinance is repealed and restated
with the nine amendments. Mr. Pope also said he had concerns about the commission that now sits--if
it would be necessary to appoint an entirely new commission.
Mr. Pope also pointed out some discrepancies in the ordinance that needed to be corrected.
Mrs. Crooks recommended that the present members continue to serve on the historic properties
commission.
No one else present spoke regarding this ordinance.
ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE - AMENDED: At this time the board considered again the amended animal
control ordinance that had been presented at a public hearing on February 4, 1986.
Mr. Sidney Weisner, Animal Control Coordinator, brought the board and public up to date on the
changes that have been made in the ordinance since the last public hearing. He explained the
change in the requirement for a petition for a leash law in a community to a “direct control” law.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, discussed the section of the ordinance pertaining to penalties.
Mrs. Jessie Crosswhite, County Commissioner, inquired about the maximum penalty of $500 being
in the ordinance for cruelty to animals.
Mr. Bill Brater asked some technical questions about the ordinance.
The county manager, Mr. Wayne Deal, said if this ordinance is adopted, it will definitely take
more staff. In answer to a question from Commissioner Mills, Mr. Deal said it would probably take
three additional persons plus the necessary equipment. Mr. Deal said he would like for the staff to
be in place at the time of adoption of this ordinance. It will also be necessary for the county to
expand its shelter facilities if this ordinance is implemented. He anticipates that it will take
$60,000 in additional funds; however, revenues will be increased through a fee-charge for licenses
as well as for the penalty charge for violation of the ordinance.
Mr. Jeff McHargue spoke regarding the loose dogs in his neighborhood.
Mrs. Ethel Sloan spoke regarding the dogs that come in her yard.
A discussion took place among the board members regarding when would be the best time to adopt
the ordinance and for it to be made effective.
No one else spoke regarding the ordinance.

COUNTY-WIDE SERVICE DISTRICTS - FIRE DEPARTMENTS: The Chairman called the board's attention to
the information distributed by Mr. Chuck Gallyon, Fire Marshal, regarding a county-wide special
service district for the purpose of a fire tax.
Mr. Gallyon said service districts are an alternate method of funding fire departments, as
provided by the General Statutes of North Carolina. The association of chiefs council has met and
asks that the board of commissioners consider funding in this method for 1986-87 fiscal year.
The county manager, Mr. Wayne Deal, said more financial accountability of funds would be
required, A six-member committee comprised of the fire commissioner, fire marshal, county manager,
finance officer, president of the firemen's association and planning director would be in charge of
ick RE: GR tol MBER srt ae?
299
overseeing this method of financing.
Mr. Deal said there must be a plan for providing this service if a special district were
implemented. Any fire tax district already existing would be excluded from this plan.
Chairman Hedrick inquired what the status of presenting a definite proposal to the board. Mr.
Gallyon said a plan is not finalized: they do have a plan to bring budgets to a reorganized fire
commission. Requirements to receive funds will be to have a budget, have an audit, and be a member
of the association. Guidelines are not completed at this time, but he hopes to have them completed
very soon.
Mr. Gallyon said all property in Iredell County is covered at this time. Not everything is
within a five-mile district, which is for the purpose of insurance premium deduction. All property
in the county has fire protection. -He also said that nothing is finalized at this time.
The county manager said he thought the key issue was developing a formula for distribution of
the funds. He said from an administrative point this is a good move.
The Fire Marshal was to report to the board with further information as soon as possible.
NO BOARD ACTION.
ROWAN-IREDELL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT - BOUNDARY DISCUSSION: Members of the Rowan-Iredel]
Volunteer Fire Department from Rowan County And Iredell County were present to discuss the impact
of the five-mile boundary policy on their territory in Iredell County. Members from the Cool
Springs Volunteer Fire Department were also present.
The Rowan-Iredell Volunteer Fire Department wishes to maintain its territory in Iredell County
and continue to receive the funding from Iredell County. Some Iredell County citizens who are
presently being served by this fire department voiced their opinions about which department by which
they preferred to be served.
There are 85 residences involved in this department that are located in Iredell County and 37
are outside of the Cool Springs five-mile area. The board members looked at the map that showed the
location of the department and the Iredell County residences that are presently a part of the Rowan-
Iredell department. Iredell] County is now paying Rowan-Iredell Volunteer Fire Department $1,900
annually in support of that portion of the service area in Iredell! County.
Mr. Gallyon said that 37 of the homes in this area are outside the Cool Springs service
district, and these same 37 homes are in the Rowan-Iredell insurance district.
The Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department officials spoke in reference to their department.
They said they were willing to take over fire protection service to the Iredell County people in the
Rowan-Iredell Volunteer Fire Department area. They also told of their plans for moving their
station in the near future.
After further discussion, MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that the Rowan-Iredel! Volunteer Fire
Department be allowed to continue service to this area until the Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment has relocated its station.
VOTING: Ayes - 1 (Hedrick); Nays - 4.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - ORDINANCE AMENDED: This ordinance
was approved on April 1, 1986; however, after checking with the State, it was learned that the
Senate Bill #2 funds could be used as a match for the CDBG-ED funds. This would allow the County to
— use an additional $200,001 of their Senate Bill Funds, which would free the $200,001 in County funds
that are presently allocated to this project. This would also give the County Commissioners more
flexibility in funding of the projects for water and sewer lines.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the amended ordinance for the Community Development Block
Grant - Economic Development Project.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

insurance premium reduction area, that all such funds so collected be paid to the South Iredell]
Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. for use in its general fund.

outline of the plan to coordinate transportation with some of the agencies in the county, Council on
Aging, Vocational Workshop, Tri-County Mental Health Center, Health Department, Mitchell Community
College, and I-Care, Inc.; and Mr. Duston discussed this with the board at this time.
Mr. Duston said the Vocational Workshop would be the "lead" agency for this program, and the
Transportation Development Plan would be submitted in that agency's name. He also said it would
be the early or middie part of 1987 before funds were received if a decision was made to apply for
the funds. Included in the presentation were three vehicles at $69,000, which would be equipped
with wheelchair lifts. In addition base stations and mobile radios would be purchased so the
drivers would have contact with their home offices. Cost of these three base stations is $10,500;
cost of the three mobile radios is $4,500, with a total projected cost of $84,000. If the grant is
approved, it calls for a local cost of 10% of the $84,000 or $8,400.

can be done by the agencies involved in the transportation development plan.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION TO BE SENT TO N. C. LEGISLATORS REQUESTING THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE IREDELL
COUNTY/STATESVILLE CIVIC CENTER AUTHORITY: A request had been made by the City of Statesville to
the Iredell County Board of Commissioners, asking the county commissioners to pass 4a resolution to
abolish the Iredel1-Statesville Civic Center Authority. After a discussion by the board members,
it was decided that this matter would be delayed until the June 3rd meeting, at which time the
county attorney will have had an opportunity to review the State legislation on this authority and
make a report and recommendation to the board. It was the consensus of the board that the authority
to tax hotel and motel charges should be retained by the county, and, subject to the county attor-
ney's recommendation, come up with a resolution to abolish the authority contingent upon the coun-
ty's being able to retain the taxing authority, and that it be mutually agreed upon by Iredell
County and Statesville.
NO BOARD ACTION.
RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD - APPOINTMENT: Commissioner Murdock nominated James Michael Ray,
Sr., Route 7, Box cee Mooresville, NC 28115, to serve on the captioned board. Commissioner Stewart
said she had planned to recommend the same person. This is a three-year term, beginning retroac-
tively in January 1986 and continuing through December 30, 1988.

PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER LINES FOR I-77 AND NC 150 PROJECT: Mr. Deal reported on the status of
the captioned project. On May 12th, a meeting was held with the developers, Town of Mooresville,
Mooresville Chamber, Ragsdale Consultants, and the county manager in reference to discussing the
alternate routes for the water and sewer distribution lines.
Mr. Deal recapped the early plans for financing of this project. He said that sometime ago the
people who were interested in getting the water and sewer out to 1-77 and 150 came and talked to the
commissioners about the possibility of applying for a grant. The discussion at that time, based on
the engineering figures from Mooresville's engineer (Willis Engineering Co.) that the project was
approximately $1.4 million. Our records show that the county committed to a maximum of $350,000 or
24.14% of the project, and the City agreed to a small amount. Basically the commitment by both the
City and the County did not exceed $400,000; the grant would be $750,000; and the developers would
come up with the balance.
‘
Mr. Deal said Skip Green, who wrote the grant application, revised the grant total, lowering
the amount to $1.1 million. The amount the developers were to contribute was reduced. This is the
way the financing was until the May 12th meeting when the committee learned from the engineer that
several decisions needed to be made in reference to the project which would be in excess of the $1.1
million amount that is pledged. Total estimated amount of funds needed are now $1,350,000.
Mr. Deal reported that a decision was made to use ductile iron pipe instead of PVC pipe for the
water line down N. C. 150. With other alternates that are recommended, an additional $160,000 will
be needed over the $1.1 million previously committed for this project by the county, Mooresville,
the chamber, and the developers. Mr. Deal said he had a meeting planned with Mr. Bob Ebert, one of
the developers who would benefit from the water and sewer lines who has not yet contributed toward
RPAREERE TR oc oe 4 AE:

the project. In addition the Belk Construction Company from Charlotte, who is developing the
shopping mall, and the YOKO organization, who is building the service station, are planning to
assist with the payment of this additional $160,000.
The county manager said he planned to meet on Wednesday with Mr. Ebert in reference to this
project, and he hopes to get a commitment from the developers to cover the additional cost. If he
comes within $50,000 of the preliminary cost estimate of the project, then engineering work could
proceed. However, if no commitments are made for the additional $160,000, this matter will be
brought back to the board on June 3rd. The board concurred with the county manager's plan.
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS - FIVE-MILE BOUNDARIES: Mr. Deal reported that at the April 15th
meeting of the board, Chuck Gallyon, fire marshal, gave the board a report, saying that the fire
chiefs council had met and was requesting that the board of commissioners consider a special fire
taxing district for the remainder of the county that is not presently in a taxing district. At the
April 15th meeting, Mr. Deal said, the board instructed Mr. Gallyon to proceed with the necessary
steps and bring back to the board a full report at the appropriate time.
There have been several meetings on this, looking at what needs to be done. Mr. Deal said he
met with Mr. Gallyon just this morning, and he is meeting with the fire chiefs this evening to
present to them the same type information that he was presenting the board.
It was discovered that there was quite a bit of leg work to be done. In summary, there is a
line of procedures that have to be followed, and they are based upon a time schedule. It is
believed that the time schedule cannot be met in order to have it in effect July 1, 1986. A special
district of that kind becomes effective July 1 of the fiscal year following its adoption. If it is
done after July 1, 1986, it will be July 1, 1987 before the taxing district can become effective.
Both Messrs;-Beal and Gallyon recommended what they have concluded is the best option, which is
to do the work very carefully, bring all documents together for board consideration to be effective
July 1, 1987.
Mr. Deal said with the recommendation in mind, he has included in the 1986-
the same type funding that is in the 1985-86 budget.

REZONING REQUESTS AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE HEARD: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning
Director, presented the following rezoning requests to the board:
(1) Mrs. Margie Pope, Agent for Nine Property owners, located at the end of S. R. 1369, W.
Lewis Ferry Road near Lake Norman: The requested rezoning is from Residential Agricultural to R-20,
Single Family Residential. This approximately 22 acres has been approved as to appropriateness of
the petition on April 1, 1986. Staff says this rezoning to R-20 would be in keeping with the
surrounding properties. This rezoning change is unanimously approved by the planning board.
No one present spoke for or against the rezoning.
(2) W. J. Bishop, Route 4, Box 534, Mooresville, rezoning from Residential Agriculture to
Neighborhood Business. This property is located on the US 21 By-Pass, between SR 1307, Glory Road,
and SR 1302, Cornelius Road, at Oak Barrell Superette. A buffer would be required where this
property abuts residential district. Mr. Lundy said Mr. Bishop had earlier requested to rezone only
a portion from RA to NB, but in his opinion it would be better to rezone the entire tract to NB and
allow the mobile home to continue as nonconforming use due to the location and number of buildings.
This rezoning comes with unanimous approval for RA to NB.
(3) Zoning Ordinance Amendment. Mr. Lundy said the following amendment is recommended by the
planning board and staff because current language in Section 61 was unclear in reference to the
maximum elevation allowed for advertising signs (billboards). Problems have resulted from this lack
of clarity, and for this reason an amendment is being proposed as follows:
ARTICLE VI, SECTION 61 (SIGN REGULATIONS) OF THE IREDELL COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE:
1. Section 61.2 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance is amended
by inserting the following:
61.2(i) The maximum elevation for the top of an advertising sign
shall be thirty (30) feet above the average grade of
the natural terrain beneath the sign structure, or
thirty feet above the grade of the roadway adjacent to
the sign; whichever is higher.
2. Any provision of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance in conflict
with the amendment is hereby repealed.
3. This amendment shall be effective from the date of its adoption.

AMENDMENTS TO THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES ORDINANCE DISCUSSED: A public hearing was held on the _—
proposed amendments to the Historic Properties Ordinance on April 15, 1986. At that time the board
asked the county attorney to review the amendments and make a recommendation to the board at a later
meeting. Mr. Pope reviewed with the board all the proposed amendments to the original ordinance,
Mr. Pope said he was in favor of amending the existing ordinance rather than repealing the former
ordinance and adopting a new ordinance. The reason for this, he said, was because it would “un-
designate" historic properties that have already been designated. Mrs. Pat Crooks, chairman of the
Historic Properties Commission, was present and also discussed these changes.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to adopt the amendments to the Historic Properties Ordinance as
presented by County Attorney Bill Pope.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
c
NOTE: The amended Historic Properties Ordinance is on file in the County Ordinance Book II,
beginning with page 572.
REQUEST FOR AN ATTORNEY FOR THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES RESEARCH: Mrs. Crooks, chairman for the
Historic Properties Commission, requested permission from the board to retain an attorney for title
research for historic properties. This attorney would have to give an opinion on the title, and
Mrs. Crooks said it was important to have an attorney whose main priority would be to look after the
business of the Historic Properties Commission. Chairman Hedrick directed Mrs. Crooks to the county
manager. She could discuss this matter with Mr. Deal, and, in turn, he could make a recommendation
to the board at the next regular meeting of the board.
APPOINTMENTS TO THE TROUTMAN PLANNING & ZONING BOARD - ONE-MILE PERIMETER AREA: MOTION from
Commissioner Murdock to appoint the following members who were recommended by the Town of Troutman

CONTRACT FOR RECREATION DEPARTMENT, LEASING IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOL BUSES: The county manager
stated this was essentially the same agreement that has been used in prior years. It has been sent
to Mr. Pope, county attorney, for his review. Mr. Pope said he reviewed the contract and had
written the Webb Insurance Agency to verify that the county is covered, but he has not heard from
them. He said he had no problem with the contract, assuming that the County is insured.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to approve the contract, authorizing the chairman to sign in
behalf of the county, after the county has received proper verification of the insurance coverage.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
I-CARE, INC. - APPLICATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR ANNUAL FUNDING: The
county manager explained this application, stating the county is traditionally asked to review the
application and give a general statement that it has been reviewed. He said he had reviewed the
application and found it to be very similar to applications submitted in prior years. He said he
had no problems with the application as submitted to him.
This application does not obligate the county, Mr. Deal said. The county is budgeting the same
amount of funds as in prior years for the I-Care Agency.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to accept the application and authorize I-Care to forward
it to Raleigh for consideration.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
_CONSIDE’ATION OF GASTON COUNTY'S RESOLUTION ENTITLED “ONE-HALF PERCENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
TAX." The board discussed the proposed 1/2 cent additional sales tax that may come before the
General Assembly during the upcoming session. Mr. Deal said Gaston County is asking that the 1/2
cent tax go for capital improvement tax. He said that there appeared to be a good possibilty for
this tax to be enacted during this session. If the board thinks this is a good alternative to
property tax, he said, he would like to see the board go on record as favoring the 1/2 cent sales
tax to come to local government without any strings attached.
Commissioner Crosswhite said she had talked with various local merchants to get their feeling
on this tax, and they were all in favor of this additional 1/2 cent sales tax. They said it would
make their work a lot easier. One-half cent would bring $1.8 million to the county.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to approve a resolution for 1/2 cent sales tax, to be returned to
the county without any strings attached.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
HERONWOOD PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - LETTER FROM R. PAUL WILMS, NORTH CAROLINA NATURAL
RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Chairman Hedrick stated for the record that a letter was
received from Mr. Paul Wilms, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, dated May
19, 1986, relative to the Heronwood PRD. The letter from Mr. Wilms inquired if the Iredell County
Board of Commissioners' position relative to zoning for this project is final.
Mr. Bert Walser, attorney for the Heronwood Developers, was present to discuss this matter with
the board. He said one of the things that the developers have offered to do in a settlement of this
matter was to reduce the density. He said he could not answer to the number of units that will be
built.
Mr. Bill Pope advised the board that from a legal view there is no request before the board to
rezone the property. Should there be a request to rezone it, he would have serious reservations
about the legal ability of the commissioners to do that at this stage of the game, he said.
Chairman Hedrick inquired if any board member's position on the waste disposal system at
Heronwood had changed. No commissioner commented. ‘
The board directed the county attorney to write a letter to the effect that the Iredell County
Board of Commissioners has no plans to rezone the Heronwood PRD property; however, the majority of
the board's feelings is still as it was throughout the board's deliberation--that subsurface treat-
ment should be used. A copy of this letter was to be sent to Mr. Bert Walser.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES, MAY 20, 1986 MEETING: MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to approve the
minutes from the May 20, 1986 meeting.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT - I-77 & NC150 PROJECT: Mr. Deal, county manager, brought the
board up to date on the activities of the captioned project. He explained how the project was
do i a RIS 8 PAS Lil Ne AM TE AROS 6 BUTE as EC aap pee
616
reduced from the original estimate of $1.4 million to $1.1 by Skip Green when he was preparing the
CDBG application. When Mr. Green reduced the project cost by $300,000, he reduced the developers'
share by that amount. Recently the Ragsdale Consulting Firm, who is doing the engineering for the
project, has advised that he estimates that the project will be $1.350 million. The developers are
now asking that the County come up with this $250,000. Mr. Deal said he has recommended that the
developers come up with this money, that the County has fulfilled its monetary commitment on this
project.
Mr. Deal said the engineers have not been held up to this point. After tomorrow, June 4, 1986,
they feel the job will be held up if they do not have any direction. The original engineering
contract fee is $64,000. That is broken down in segments: Fee to get the project to the bid stage
and receive bids is $29,000. The county has already spent $12,000, so it will cost a maximum of
$17,000 more, engineering-wise, to go to bids. Mr. Deal's proposal is to tell the engineer to
proceed to draw up the necessary documents to bring the bids in and see what they are. His
recommendation, further, would be that when this is done, a letter should be written to all the
developers involved and inform them of what is being done. When the bids come in, if the bids are in
excess of $1.1 million, then the County will expect the developers to come up with the difference.
If the developers do not do this, this the County will cut the project back to whatever is money is
there, or, if necessary, the County will scrap the project.
In answer to commissioners' questions, Mr. Deal said the developers have committed to the point
that the project is $91,000 short of what the engineer estimates will be needed. The bids may come
in low or they may come in high.
Commissioner Mills said he felt comfortable with what the county manager recommended, fore-
warning the developers that the county has made its total commitment of funds.
Mr. Deal said he felt strongly that the developers should put in this additional money.
Commissioner Stewart said none of these commitments were ever made in writing; all of it is was
vocal. Mr. Deal said there were written commitments from the three firms that are actually involved
in the project, which were necessary for the grant. Mr. Deal said he would ask the developers to
make written commitments.
Chairman Hedrick said he did not think the board needs to take any action at this point.
CRAWFORD ROAD WATER AND SEWER LINE EXTENSIONS: Mr. Deal reported that sometime ago the board
agreed to fund 1/2 of the engineering of the sewer line to Crawford Road. One company in this area
has a major problem. Additionally, this is the area the Chamber believes has the greatest indus-
trial growth potential at this time. Engineers’ estimates for constructing the sewer line involve a
12" line part of the way, and an 8" line the rest way up to Crawford Road. This is 7,000' at an
estimated construction cost of $350,420. This is for sewer line only.
Of this $350,000, approximately $58,000 is directly related to Klear Knit, who will have to put
in a pump station. Klear Knit will put in the pump station, leaving a balance of approximately
$300,000, which will be the County's portion to get the line to Crawford Road.
Chairman Hedrick, Mayor Bentley, Pete Connet, and Wayne Deal have discussed this project. The
City has proposed that they would like for the County to fund the entire cost of the sewer line, and
the City would take care of getting water to Crawford Road. The City is proposing to receive bids
in early July and extending the water line to Crawford Road. The estimate on the water line is a
little over $1 million. This plan for extension of water lines serves a larger area than the
Crawford Road area and is a part of the City's master plan.
Mr. Deal said he met with Pete Connet and Jack King to discuss industrial development, and he
believes industrial growth is going to occur in this area. Mr. Deal said all agreed that it would
be short-sighted to put in an 8" sewer line that would potentially open this large area. To
increase the 8" line to a 12" would cost an additional estimated $50,000. Mr. Deal said with this
increased size line, the County's portion would be $350,000.
Commissioner Stewart expressed concerns over putting County funds into a project before any
industries have committed to come into the area.
Mr. Deal reviewed the projects the County has committed to during the past fiscal year. He
stated if the County did not commit the Senate Bill #2 funds prior to the end of the fiscal year,
the County would lose its allocation. The county has $419,000 available in state water and sewer
funds as of May 29, 1986. This is the combined allocation for 1985-86 and 1986-87. Total county
water and sewer funds available is $394,000 through June 30, 1986. He said if the County was going
to do the Crawford Road Project, this is the time and the place to do it.
Summarizing the request, total amount of funds needed for the line from the County is $350,000
for a total 12" line. If the County goes with the 70/30 policy that is in effect between the City
of Statesville and the County, this would require $250,000.
Chairman Hedrick asked the county manager to send all the board members a statement showing the
available water and sewer funds.
GRANT APPLICATION FOR OLD COURT HOUSE RENOVATION: The county manager brought the board's
attention to a grant application that was prepared by Alice Fortner. This grant application was a
request for $100,000 through a special bill from the N. C. Legislature to begin the renovation of
617
the old court house.
BUDGET WORK SESSIONS SET: The following dates were set for budget work sessions:

Service should not be done through the Iredell County Communications Center.

TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT, MONTH OF MAY 1986: Mr. Joe Ketchie, Tax Collector, presented the
collector's report for the month of May 1986. Mr. Ketchie said it was going to “push them" to
collect 97% of the tax levy. Vice Chairman Mills asked Mr. Ketchie for comments on the three or
four per cent of taxes that were not collected each year. Mr. Ketchie presented a print-out of
bankruptcies in the county. This print-out listed in excess of $136,000 of personal and business
bankruptcies in Iredell County. Mr. Ketchie said these cannot be touched; his office is at the
mercy of the Federal Bankruptcy Court for county taxes involved in these bankruptcies. Mr. Ketchie
further stated that the only thing the law allows him to do is to submit a claim to the Federal
Court and hope that sometime in the future we may get a portion of the county taxes involved in
these properties.
Commissioner Crosswhite said someone had approached her about the county's status in uncollec-
ted taxes. She said she advised this person that the board had looked into the possibility of
hiring someone to pursue foreclosures on delinquent taxes. She inquired what the status is on this
matter at the present time.
Mr. Ketchie said funds for a person to do this work is included in the proposed 1986-87 budget,
and he is waiting approval of the budget so that this could be pursued.
Vice Chairman Mills made comments about the improvement in collections rate during his tenure
on the board, which is almost eight years. He said the collection rate has improved about 3% during
the time he has served on the board.
Mr. Ketchie updated the board on the condition of the delinquent tax collector, Mr. Johnston,
who has had surgery. Mr. Johnston is to return to the hospital on June 23, at which time he hopes
the doctors will release him. If the doctors do release him on June 23rd, he will return to work on
June 24th, Mr. Ketchie said.
By consensus, the board accepted the May 1986 Collections Report.

Chairman Hedrick called the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m. The purpose of this meeting was a
budget work session, being specifically for hearing the Social Services budget requests and the
Health Department budget requests.
Mr. Don Wall showed a film on the Work Fare Program. He hopes to implement this program, which
he believes will break the "dependency cycle," Mr. Wall said. There are three specific areas in the
Work Fare Program: (1) Work Incentive Program (WIN), (2) Program to assist with job seeking skills,
and (3) CWEP.
Four new positions are being requested for this Work Fare Program. Total county cost is
$24,439. Fifty (50) per cent will be paid by Federal government, 25% will be paid by State govern-
ment, and 25% will be paid by County government.
Mr. Wall discussed the remainder of his budget with the board and answered questions asked by
the county commissioners.
Mr. Mashburn, health director, and members of his staff were present to discuss the health
budget. He had invited members from the community to speak in behalf of the health department's
involvement in a program called “Personal Care." This program would be offered in conjunction with
the Home Health Program, if it is approved by the board.
The health staff was considering using part-time employees rather than full-time employees in
this program. The board discussed this program further with Mr. Mashburn. No decision was made
regarding funding for the program.
The remainder of the time was spent discussing other programs in the health budget.
ADJOURN: The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Next budget meeting is planned for Monday,

THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH D. A. ERVIN AND COMPANY, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, FOR PERFORMING
THE COUNTY'S ANNUAL AUDIT: This matter was discussed at the board's June 17th meeting and delayed
because the county attorney was not present at the meeting. A letter from David Ervin dated June
6th was discussed at the June 17th meeting, and it was decided by the board members to refrain from
taking any action until the county attorney had an opportunity to read the letter and advise the
board.
Two of the three years' work contracted with the D. A. Ervin Company have been performed. In
the remaining year, Mr. Ervin has asked that his fee be increased to $18,000.
Mr. Ervin spoke regarding his request and cited some unforeseen problems he encountered during
the first two years of his audit; namely, internal accounting problems with grant accounts, lack of
accrual basis accounting, single audit concept, and report disclosures. He said he had 2,000 hours
invested in learning what is going on.
Commissioner Mills said he thought the board had three alternatives:
(1) Increase fee to $18,000;
(2) Negotiate that figure;
(3) Hold to original contract
Mr. Ervin said at the time of bidding he was told by the county manager that his bid was
unusually low, and he was given an opportunity to withdraw his bid under the circumstances. Mr.
Ervin preferred to execute the contract at the bid amount.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to legally release the D. A. Ervin Company from the contract for
the audit of the 1985-86 fiscal year.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
The county manager recommended that in the interest of time the board needed to proceed with
retaining another firm to perform the 1985-86 audit. Mr. Deal has talked with Barnard and Foster,
who were the second low bidders at the time of awarding this contract. These company officials
agreed to do the work at their original bid price, $15,500 for a one-year contract.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to award the contract to Barnard and Foster for $15,500 for the
year 1985-86, ending June 30, 1986.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DISCUSSION OF THE 1/2 PER CENT SALES TAX LEGISLATION: Chairman Hedrick and the other members
of the board discussed contacting the legislators in Raleigh to encourage them to support the
enactment of the additional 1/2 per cent sales tax. The chairman instructed the county manager to
send telegrams to the two senators since the bill will have had its third reading in the House of
Representatives this evening.
DISCUSSION OF FY 1986-87 BUDGET: The county commissioners continued discussion of the proposed
1986-87 budget with the county manager and the finance officer. A new program, Personal Care, was
discussed at the June 18th budget meeting. The county manager recommended that this program not be
enacted until proven feasible.
Commissioner Crosswhite raised a question about lease/purchase in lieu of outright purchasing;
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the travel budget.
The board discussed the possibility of hiring a physician which would eliminate the necessity
of having so many physician contracts, etc. Mr. Deal said a doctor could be used to look after the
clinics, do physicals for new employees, perform the physician duties at the county jail, and many
other duties. After further discussion, the county manager said he would compile the data on having
an on-staff physician and bring it back to the board at the next meeting.
The board also discussed the Work Fare Program proposed on June 18th by the Social Services
Director, Mr. Don Wall. Commissioner Mills said he would like to do the program if it would be
626
successful.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to accept the Social Services budget as presented, subject to
another review before final adoption of the budget.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
PLANNING AND ZONING: MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. i
MAPPING: A part-time employee to do data entry was discussed for this department. The county
manager said he believed he could move employees from other departments to do this work instead of
hiring a part-time person.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to approve this budget.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
INSPECTIONS: MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to accept.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MAINTENANCE: The board agreed to take out the paving of the annex parking lot at $7,500 and
the commissioners' table at $4,000. The board discussed taking out the grass catcher.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about installing two spot lights on the front lawn of the old
court house to light up the columns of the building at night.
Commissioner Mills asked for better justification of the pick-up truck in this budget.
The board agreed to conclude the budget review at this point.
OTHER MATTERS: Chairman Hedrick said he had spoken with Mrs. Edna Harris, a farmer in North
Iredell. Mrs. Harris told him that a State of Emergency has been declared in Iredell! County due to
the prevailing lack of rain. He said Mr. Kenneth Vaughn, Agricultural Extension Chairman, has
made a request for the state of emergency to be declared on a national level. The board requested
that a letter be sent to the proper authorities to enforce the request made by Mr. Vaughn.
Chairman Hedrick questioned the closing of the transfer station during holidays since this was
the time when so many people are at Lake Norman and could use the transfer station instead of
littering the highways. The county manager said he would prepare a full schedule of the days of
landfill and transfer station operation before the next meeting. It was suggested that the transfer
station might be left open on July 4th to see if this eliminated the littering.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn the meeting at 10:30 p.m. Next meeting:
June 30, 1986, 7:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room.

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
EXPLANATION OF BUDGET MATTERS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED BY THE BOARD: The county manager discussed
questions board members had raised about previous departmental budgets. He said the maintenance
department had nine people and five vehicles, one of which is a large flat bed truck. The supervisor
sometimes uses his own pick-up.
Mr. Deal also gave the hours of operation of the transfer station, which is 7:00 a.m. until
6:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday; 1:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The transfer station is
closed New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. He said
if the transfer station is open when the landfill is not open, it will become necessary to open the
landfill, which will require additional staff.
LAW ENFORCEMENT BUDGET: Questions were asked about the contracted services for the Law Enforce-
ment Department. These are: Breathilizer for $875, PIN Machine $6600. The manager cut out the
$1806 for cleaning services.
The holiday pay was omitted from this budget, and, due to the nature of the department, it must
be included. The Sheriff's Department had included a 94% salary increase in the budget.
Board members asked about the Victim Assistance Program and some other matters, so it was
decided that this budget would be discussed at the meeting on the following day, July 1, 1986, at
4:00 p.m.
JAIL: Commissioner Crosswhite raised a question about the laundry and dry cleaning services.
The Food and Provisions line item was discussed.
MOTION FROM Chairman Hedrick to approve this budget as recommended.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
FIRE MARSHAL AND FIRE FIGHTING: An additional person was requested in this budget, but the
manager is recommending two persons, which is the current level. The supplies line item was ex-
plained, which is for fire prevention promotional materials.
It is planned to move the Fire Marshal's Office to the basement of the Old Court House, where
the Big Brother Agency is now located. Commissioner Mills asked that the staff check into surplus
furniture, possibly what the Big Brother organization is now using, before purchasing any new for
the Fire Marshal's Office.
A discussion took place by the board members relative to paying the volunteer fire departments
insurance. MOTION from Commissioner Mills to pay 1/3 of the volunteer fire departments’ insurance
premiums for the 1986-87 budget year, and hopefully over a three-year period the County can fund all
the insurance costs for the volunteer fire departments.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills to approve the Fire Marshal's budget as adjusted, and to check
on the office furniture as discussed earlier.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
AMBULANCE: This budget delayed until July 1, 1986, 4:30 p.m.
LANDFILL: Mr. Deal said plans were being made to open a transfer station at the Highway 901
site in North Iredell. The present green box site will be converted to a compaction site. The
County will need to buy a compacting unit, build a small house for the attendant, and purchase two
additional tractors and trailers. The one-acre site at Highway 901 is presently leased on a ten-
year basis, and much work has been done at this site to accommodate the present roll-off box
arrangement. This could be converted to a compaction site at less expense than another site, Mr.
Deal said.
In closing down the site on N. C. 115, Mr. Deal said the County should pay for the expense of
fencing the area to prohibit people from continuing to dump trash there after the boxes have been
removed. Signs would be placed there to direct people to the transfer station, and the area would
be checked on a regular basis.
Cost of the above-listed landfill equipment would be $80,000 a year for three years, to be
handled on a lease-purchase arrangement.

"direct control" provision, additional staff will be needed by this department. The county manager
said plans are to hire two men initially to see if this would be enough staff to carry out the
direct control law. Three new positions are budgeted for this. In addition, the finance officer
recommended purchasing a cash register at the Animal Control Department. This is estimated at
$650.00. Total budget is $234,297.

DISCUSSION OF FY 1986-87 BUDGET: Staff members from the Sheriff's Department were present to discuss the Sheriff's budget, in particular the Victim Assistance grant, about which the county commissioners asked questions at an earlier meeting.

This is a $24 to $25 thousand grant which is for an 18-month period rather than a one-year
period. There is a provision for the purchase of an automobile in the grant, which will be used to
transport victims in certain situations. The Sheriff's department requested a smaller car for this
program; however, after consideration by the board, it was decided that the county would purchase 14
patrol cars instead of 13. The board members believed this would be better use of tax funds.

the 1/2% sales tax enacted in 1983 requires 40% of the revenues be budgeted for the schools’ capital
outlay; the 1/2% amount now before the legislature will require 60% of the revenues for school i
capital outlay for the first year. These two amounts will constitute an approximate $1.4 million
for school capital outlay in the 1986-87 budget. The county manager recommended that the board
consider setting up a capital fund for a portion of these funds.
Last year's funding for the current expense was $415 per student; the county manager has
recommended $40 per student in the proposed 1986-87 budget. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to
fund an additional $30 per student for the schools for a total funding of $445 per pupil.
VOTING: Ayes - 1 (Crosswhite); Nays - 4.
Commissioner Mills said he would support a $40 increase in current expense funding; he
stressed the hope that the schools would use it wisely. Forty dollars per pupil additional funding
would be an additional $630,480 (15,762 students). Total Funding: $445 per student.
In discussing the capital outlay funding, the county manager said that county ad valorem tax
revenues could be supplanted with the sales tax funds. With the $40 additional funding level and
the estimated $1.4 million in capital outlay, this would be $2,030,480 in additional funds from the
county's budget.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that the board approve the school funding as discussed with the
county manager and that the capital outlay funds coming from the county's ad valorem taxes be
supplanted with the sales tax revenues from the additional 1/2%, if the bill passes.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Crosswhite).
WATER AND SEWER BUDGET: The proposed budget shows $419,715 available for appropriation during
Fy 1986-87. MOTION from Commissioner Mills to allocate $420,000 plus the carry-forward amounts that
have been committed to for the Camp-Dresser-McKee contract. According to the county manager, the
$420,000 amount would allow matching funds for all State Water and Sewer Funds that the County
expects to receive.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
OTHER SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS: The board members spent some time discussing the various agen-
cies in this budget. Commissioner Mills recommended that $2,000 be funded for the Children's Museum
program. The NACo awards line item was eliminated. The Third Creek Watershed was reduced to
$9,000.
DISCUSSION OF ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET: The board members spent some
time discussing the larger items that had been either added or deleted. Since the additional 1/2%
sales tax has not yet been approved by the General Assembly, the board requested the manager to make
the recommended changes in the expenditures budget, and the board would wait and see what the final
outcome of the sales tax is in Raleigh. In the meantime, the board was scheduled to meet again on
July 10, 1986, 5:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room to approve the expenditures. If the 1/2%
sales tax is approved by the state, it will be necessary to have a public hearing to adopt the sales
tax in the county. Following the public hearing and resolution of adoption of the sales tax, the
board can then adopt the budget for 1986-87.
ADJOURN: Chairman Hedrick adjourned the meeting at 11:00 p.m. Next meeting: July 10, 1986,
5:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room.

ONE-HALF PERCENT (4%) ADDITIONAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT SALES AND USE TAX:
Those speaking were as follows:
Mr. R. B. Woods
Statesville, NC
Mr. Woods expressed concern over the delinquent taxes that are unpaid. He also expressed
concern over the cost of advertising delinquent taxes. Mr. Woods also said he was
concerned over the falsification of car registration forms where people indicate that
their property taxes are paid when the taxes may actually be unpaid.
Mr. William A. Mills, County Commissioner
Mr. Mills gave a background of the activities involved in collecting delinquent taxes. He
cited as a reason for the amount of unpaid taxes is the low amount of interest that the
State allows the County to charge when the taxes are unpaid. Mr. Mills also explained
that the County Tax Office cannot touch bankruptcies and discussed using good business
judgment to go after larger amounts of unpaid taxes because of the cost incurred in the
collection procedures.
Mr. Mills advised that the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners had tried to
get the State Legislature to require a paid tax receipt when purchasing a car license
plate, but were unable to accomplish this.
Victor Crosby
Harmony, NC
Mr. Crosby is not opposed to the sales tax and said he thought it was more fair than
property tax. He said he would like for whatever money is not earmarked for schools to go

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Irede]] County is now of opinion and does
hereby find and declare that the levy of said sales tax within Iredell County is both
desirable and necessary to adequately finance the operation of the county and the cities
and towns herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Iredell County
as follows:

NC 150/1~77 WATER SEWER PROJECT: Approval of contracts for sewer rights-of-way
appraisal and review Services.
Jack Kiser, Administrator of the NC 150-I-77 Water Sewer Grant, explained that it
will be necessary to acquire rights-of-way and one fee simple parcel for the pump station.
This would involve four property owners in the area. This will be sewer right-of-way
only; there will be no right-of-way required for the water lines. Mr. Kiser advised about
the guidelines required by the government on federally financed grants, i.e., the Uniform
Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. Requests for proposals
following these guidelines were sent to five appraisers, and the following proposals were

ADOPTION OF FAIR HOUSING PLAN FOR CDBG PROJECT (NC150/1-77 WATER/SEWER PROJECT LINE:
Mr. Jack Kiser advised that every local government that receives a community development
block grant is required to undertake some type of activity to promote equal housing
opportunities within their jurisdiction. In complying with this, it is necessary to
submit a plan to state grantor agency indicating what type activities the county proposes
to undertake to promote fair housing. "Fair Housing" refers to the policy and principle
that housing (both owner and rental) be available to any location to persons without
regard to race, color, religion or national origin. Mr. Kiser further explained that
basically this plan would be an information and referral service in the area of fair
housing. Coordination would perhaps be done with agencies such as I-Care, Minority Af-
fairs Committee, Chamber of Commerce, etc.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the Fair Housing Plan.

REQUEST FROM CRESCENT LAND & TIMBER FOR REFUND OF COUNTY TAXES FOR YEARS 1983, 1984
AND 1985: Mr. Deal, County Manager, advised that based upon the information that the tax
supervisor's office had received from Mr. Doug Holbrook of the North Carolina Department
of Revenue this request should be denied. This denial is based upon the following:
1. Denial of the request because it was illegal as the law now
reads under G. S. 105-277-4.
2. No Use Value Application has been filed with the Tax Supervisor's
Office.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that the board deny the request based upon the tax
supervisor's and the county manager's information.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER EXTENSION: Mr. Deal, County Manager, recommended that the
Board of County Commissioners agree to fund 70% of the cost of extending a 12" sewer line
to the Crawford Road area. Mr. Deal also recommended that the County and City authorize
the engineering firm of Peirson and Whitman to place this project out for bids. Prior to
awarding of bids on this project, the County and Statesville should work out an acceptable
impact fee schedule for the Crawford Road area.
Mr. Deal further explained that of the $350,000 estimated cost, the engineering firm
of Peirson and Whitman state that approximately $59,000 of the cost would be related to
the sewer line for a pump station to be installed on Hatfield Drive. This $59,000 cost
is necessary to serve sites in the Hatfield Industrial Park area where Klear-Knit is
located, and it is his opinion that this cost should be borne completely by private
developers. Thus the estimated cost to the County and/or Statesville would be approxi-
mately $291,000. Mr. Deal advises it would be to the county's advantage to proceed with
this project due to the fact that all water/sewer funds must be obligated by the end of
December.
Commissioner Crosswhite asked if the City had agreed to the 70/30 policy of funding.
Mr. Deal explained what he is recommending has not gone to the City Council; he explained
he is requesting the board to act on it in the 70/30 standard agreement that is presently
established between Statesville and Iredell County.
Mr. Jack King, Manager of Economic Development, Greater Statesville Chamber of
Commerce, stated that in the five months since he has been employed in this position, this
area has generated more interest than any other area. This property has much acreage, but
prospective clients lose interest without water/sewer.
Ulf Boshammer, President of Klear-Knit, stated his company is looking at additional
expansion, but if his company has to pay $20,000 for a sewer system, any further expansion
at this location would be prohibited. To do this they would be using up their land which
would leave no room for expansion.
Ron Spargo, Vice President of Klear-Knit, advised that the state will not issue
another pump and haul permit to the company as they have already done this once before.
Commissioner Stewart stated she could not morally vote to extend water/sewer to these
industries because water is so critical at this time. Further, Mrs. Stewart added, we
should not rush to use these funds simply to avoid a deadline.
Chairman Hedrick advised that the impact fee should be looked into within the next 30
to 45 days.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to approve the funding of sewer line extension from Davie
Avenue at Fourth Creek to the intersection of Crawford Road and Hatfield Drive. The cost
of this extension is approximately $350,000, with the County paying 70% of this amount and
Statesville paying the remaining 30%. This is in keeping with the existing Water and
Sewer Line Extension Policy now in existence between Iredell County and the City of
Statesville. Further, the funding is contingent upon the City of Statesville developing
an Impact Fee Policy that will be acceptable to Iredell County and the City of
Statesville. The funding is also contingent upon the private developers paying the cost
of the line along Hatfield Road.

proposal to the board of health. Commissioner Mills stated this is a project the board
of county commissioners should work on. Thought could be given to setting up a fee
schedule for well water testing. It was requested that Mr. Mashburn pursue this matter in
the next several months.
SALE OF D. MATT THOMPSON SCHOOL: Chairman Hedrick stated that notification had been
received that D. Matt Thompson Junior High School was being offered by the Statesville
City School Board to the County for sale by the Statesville School Board. This matter
will be further addressed at the August 5th commissioners’ meeting.
IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Chairman Hedrick indicated that he had talked with Will
Simmerson, Iredell Water Corporation. Mr. Simmerson had asked about the possibility of a
grant from the Farmers Home Administration. It was stated during the discussion of this
matter that Friday, August 1st, would be the deadline for these grants. It was also
stated that the funds are almost depleted.
Chairman Hedrick said North Iredell High School has experienced a water problem and
that the board of commissioners should express to the state representatives their concerns
about our pressing water needs.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 p.m. Next

FLOYD COLLINS - REQUEST FOR REZONING: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, presented the re-
quest for rezoning to the board. Mr. Collins owns property located in Davidson Township on State
Road 1109, Williamson Road, at Lakeside Grocery. The request is to rezone the property from R-20
(Single Family) and N/B (Neighborhood Business) to H/B (Highway Business) for the purpose of opera-
ting an automobile sales, new and used, including related repair service. The total property
644
involved in the request is 200' x 750' with 200' x 350' of that having been rezoned to N/B in 1981.
The planning board denied the request to rezone the property on July 2, 1986.
Mr. Lundy said the request was well within the exterior boundaries of the fairly large acreage
tract in the same ownership and should not create a problem for the adjacent properties.
Mr. T. C. Homesley, attorney representing Mr. Floyd Collins, said the owner has plans to build
a new and used automobile sales business. Mr. Homesley said his client had no objections to the
rezoning being restricted to automobile sales and would accept conditions being placed upon the
zoning.
The request presented by Mr. Homesley was for a 200' x 200' portion to be rezoned for Highway
Business.
Petitions were presented to the planning board stating that they thought the building would be
an “eye sore."
Mr. Lundy said a smaller lot with a restrictive use was not introduced to the planning board.
Chairman Hedrick said he did not want to act on a matter that was not presented to the planning
board.
Joe Costa, who lives in the area of the rezoning, wanted to get clarification of what the
property owner was going to do.
Lee Harris said he would like to see the request restated to the planning board.

located on S. R. 1109, Williamson Road, between S. R. 1100 and 1190, near Dick Skaff's property.

property, which lies between the Knight property and another area that is zoned R/O. This
property comes unanimously recommended for rezoning from the planning board.
Mr. Bill Neel, attorney representing the Knights, said there is an office building already on
the property that is being requested for rezoning.

S. R. 1303, Perth Road. The proposed use is for a possible shopping center, motel, boat works and
sales. The requested rezoning is from R/A & N/B to G/B. The planning board recommended
unanimously to deny the request for rezoning.
Bob Randall, attorney, represented those who were opposed to the rezoning request. Mr. Randall
said Mr. Norman was not a good steward of his land. He said the area in question is presently
unsightly and also influences the appearance of the rest of the neighborhood. Mr. Randall asked
Chairman Hedrick to recognize those present who were not in favor of this rezoning.
IREDELL COUNTY PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION TO REZONING OF DICK SKAFF PROPERTY: Mr. Dick
Skaff was present regarding his rezoning. The Planning Board was requesting his property to be

RESOLUTION REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE FARMERS: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to
adopt the following resolution:
REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR FARMERS
WHEREAS, for the past seven months Iredell] County and North Carolina have suffered the most
extreme drought in over one hundred years, and
WHEREAS, while all our citizens have felt the effects of this drought, those experiencing the
most extreme immediate conditions are the farmers who are already enduring economic hardships that
have been intensifying for years, and
WHEREAS, we are appreciative of the generosity of our neighboring states in donating hay for
jmmediate use, for Governor Martin's declaration of a disaster area on the state level, and for the
provision for U. S. Agricultural Department to donate surplus feed grains to farmers in counties
that need livestock and poultry feed; however, this does not alleviate the immediate financial needs
nor does it do anything for the farmers who do not have poultry and livestock who, too, have
immediate financial crises,
_ NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners requests financial assistance,
particularly but not exclusively, in the form of grants, from the Federal Government for all
farmers who have suffered from the drought, realizing that this is a disaster equal to the agonies
of any other natural disaster such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes,
FURTHER, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners asks that a copy of this resolution be sent
to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for consideration and adoption at the 1986
Annual Meeting in Winston-Salem.

There are 34 lots involved, and Crescent Land and Timber owns five of these. Out of a possible
30 signatures, 28 signatures were obtained for the petition. It is the wish of the residents to
prohibit additional mobile homes from being placed in the area. Planning staff recommends the
rezoning request, and it also comes unanimously recommended from the Iredell County Planning Board.
The Iredell County Commissioners, on a recommendation from the Iredell County Planning Board,
approved the petition's appropriateness on July 1, 1986, and the rezoning is now in order.
CRESCENT LAND & TIMBER AND SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS, REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE PETI-
TION'S APPROPRIATENESS: Mr. Lundy identified this property on the Iredell County Tax Map. Crescent
Land & Timber (CL&T) owns approximately 253 acres and two lake front lots. There are 31 property

TAX COLLECTION REPORT - JULY 1986: The county manager recommended to the board the acceptance
of this July 1986 Tax Collection Report.
A discussion was held on the lateness of mailing the 1986 tax bills. Mr. Deal explained that
the County had entered into a contract with the W. P, Ferris Company for a computerized tax collec-
tion and billing system. He said the program had "bugs" in it, and documentation on the program was
never given the County by the W. P. Ferris Company. A group of three county managers who have had
similar problems with the W. P. Ferris Company was getting together to make a joint contact in
writing to the Ferris Company, specifically requesting a step-by-step method for use of the collec-
tion program.
Other problems are also being experienced. Because of the new method of bank collection,
machine readable bills are necessary to make the collection system work a lot faster. The staff has
had trouble getting quality printing that the equipment can read. A special ribbon is now being
used, and Hewlett Packard has made another adjustment on the computer. Mr. Deal said he would
continue to keep the board updated.

PRESENTATION OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION: MOTION From Chairman Mills to approve the following spe-
cial resolution:
PROCLAMATION
North Carolina has developed one of the finest Emergency Medical Services (EMS) programs in the
nation since it was created by the General Assembly in 1973. The progess and growth of EMS have
resulted in better equipped and designed ambulances, improved personnel training, more efficient
emergency departments, and simplified public access.
All North Carolinians can be proud of our emergency medical system which provides a life-saving
treatment and care twenty-four hours a day. This is made possible by the dedicated team effort of
emergency medical tehnicians, paramedics, emergency department physicians and nurses who received
specialized training to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies.
Thousands of citizens volunteer their time to provide this invaluable service. In addition,
many North Carolinians have been trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in order to help
others during a medical emergency. To recognize and honor this dedication and service, we set aside
a special period to observe this great contribution to our people and state.
me NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners joins with the Honorable James G.
Martin, Governor of the State of North Carolina, to proclaim the period beginning September 21
through September 27, 1986, as “Emergency Medical Services Week" in North Carolina, and especially
in Iredell County, and dedicates this observance to those individuals whose tireless and selfless
efforts provide critical lifesaving medical care to our citizens.

Committee, addressed the board regarding the Phase II study recently completed by Camp, Dresser &
McKee. Mr. Morrow first gave a summary of the committee's activities since its inception. The
purpose was to discuss the future of water and sewer supply in Iredell County as it related to
commercial, residential, and industrial growth. Phase I of this study was accepted and approved,
& & &
654
and now Phase II has been completed and studied by members of the committee.
The Water and Sewer Study Committee has met with Mr. John Roberts and Ms. Ann Cole, Camp,
Dresser & McKee representatives. At their committee meeting on Friday, August 29, 1986, the commit-
tee voted unanimously to recommend to the Iredell County Commissioners the adoption and implementa-
tion of the study. Mr. Morrow assured the board of the support of everyone on the committee as the
county moves forward to implement the recommendations of the study.
Others who spoke were:
Mr. Cash McColl, representing Iredell Water Corporation. Mr. McColl expressed the urgency to
move on the recommendations in the near future. He said the recent drought in Iredell County made
people aware of the need of water. He said Iredell Water is now averaging 70 to 75 meters per month
installation where they used to average 200 meters per year. He expressed his gratitude at the
cooperation between the several water systems that has never existed before.
Mayor Joe Knox, Town of Mooresville. Mayor Knox expressed his support of the study and said he
believed he spoke for his entire governing board. He offered 100% support and the influence of
Mooresville and the south end of the county. He asked the Iredell County Board of Commissioners to
support the study.
Mr. Pete Connet, Statesville City Manager. Mr. Connet was representing the Statesville City
Council, who supports this study. He said he thought the next step was to work together to find
other sources of raw water for the northern end.
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER LINE PROJECT: Chairman Mills asked Mr. Pete Connet the status of the
Crawford Road project. Mr. Connet said they had been meeting with some of the developers in the
area. Some of the concerns of the Statesville City Council are impact fees and pay back in case of
annexation. These items are to be discussed at the joint meeting of Statesville City Council and
Iredell County Commissioners, to be held on September 22.
The county and city managers have meet with one of the major land holders to find out their
feelings about participating in acreage charges, etc. Mr. Jack King, Greater Statesville Chamber of
Commerce, has met with the owners of Klear Knit, Inc. (Hatfield Road), and they have written a
letter stating that they are willing to participate financially. This was a concern of the City
Council.
In answer to Chairman Mills' question as to when the City Council would make a decision, Mr.
Connet said an answer may be available, one way or the other, within thirty days. He is hoping by
the October 6th meeting, after the joint meeting with Statesville and Iredell] County on September
22nd.
DISCUSSION OF WATER AND SEWER REPORT RESUMED:
Mr. John Roberts and Ms. Ann Cole, Camp, Dresser & McKee representatives, gave a brief overview
of the Phase II study. Mr. Roberts said the first phase of the recommendation covers 4a ten-year
period and estimates a cost for expanding water facilities at $26 million (including engineering and
contingencies). Total cost estimated for this same period for waste water facilities is estimated
at $14 million (including engineering and contingencies).
Phase II is estimated at $41 million for expansion of water facilities and $10 million for
expansion of sewer facilities. Total cost for both phases is $91 million (1986 $'s).
A gentlemen (no name given) in the audience inquired if the Mecklenburg Neck area was included
in this study.
Mr. Roberts said the recent ordinance governing sewage treatment plants at Lake Norman has
provided protection of the water quality in that area, and that the water quality indicates that
septic tanks are not contaminating the lake. Mr. Roberts recommended an on-going water quality
testing for the lake, which will provide a means for determining at what point the county might want
to begin to think about an area-wide sewage collection system.
Chairman Mills thanked Mr. Roberts, Ms. Cole, Mr. Morrow, and Mr. Morrow's committee.
MOTION from Chairman Mills to accept the report as information and will have further disposi-
tion of it later.

Mr. Sigmon uses to dump waste from septic tanks. Mr. Deal, county manager, was directed by the
chairman to look into this matter.
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER LINE PROJECT, KLEAR KNIT REPRESENTATIVE, Mrs. SHOEMAKER: Mrs. Shoemaker

ROAD SIGNS FOR ADVERTISING SERVICE STATION: Mr. Tom Glover and Mr. Charles Welling, who have
interests in the Lake Norman Fuel Stop, located just off I-77, at Amity Hill Exit in Iredell County,
came before the board in reference to the maximum height of advertising signs in the Iredell! County
Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Glover said the ordinance limits height of signs to 35', but the trees block
the view from the interstate until motorists are too close to exit at the ramp that leads to their
business. They are asking for an amendment to the zoning ordinance in order to erect a higher sign.
The county manager said he had discussed this with the planning director and was informed by
him that this matter has already been before the planning board, and the request was denied. It is
scheduled to come before the Iredell County Board of Commissioners on October 7, 1986.
Chairman Mills advised the two gentlemen that the board would try to have an answer for them on
October 7th.
CARE-A-VAN CONVALESCENT AMBULANCE SERVICE: Mr. Wayne Deal and Mr. John Fleming discussed the
convalescent ambulance service in the southern end of the county. Since the County has assumed the
Mooresville ambulance service, some misunderstandings have occurred regarding the roles of the
County's Emergency Medical Services and the Care-A-Van service. He said he had planned a meeting
with the director of Brian Center of Nursing and some other people who have called. Mr. Fleming
says he wants to hear the concerns first-hand.
Mr. Fleming said he did not know at this time what the solution to the problem is, but he would
like to come back to the next meeting and look at some of the alternatives regarding the convales-
cent service. He reiterated that the county no longer has a convalescent service and does not
dispatch for convalescent service. The county has strict guidelines about the EMS responsibility,
he said.
In reply to Commissioner Murdock's question regarding Lowrance Hospital's knowledge of the
county's operating procedures, Mr. Fleming said that he did not think the hospital officials have
distributed copies of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) to the nurses.
65/7
Mr. Deal said he had been in contact with the Care-A-Van officials, and they plan to begin
immediately to send a unit to Mooresville from 8:00 to 5:00; and as quickly as he can, they plan to
have a second unit in the Mooresville area.
Chairman Mills said the board would wait for a report on this at the October 7th or the October
21st meeting.

DISCUSSION OF RENOVATION OF THE OLD COURTHOUSE: Chairman Mills asked Mrs. Alice Fortner to
discuss this matter with the board.
The Iredell County Board of Commissioners submitted a request for an allocation of funds from
the 1986 General Assembly. Senator Bill Redman asked that the County come up with a concrete plan
and resubmit the request during the 1987 General Assembly.
The county commissioners heard proposals from three local architectural firms in early 1986.
These proposals were for complete architectural work in connection with the renovation of the
building and were all based on a percentage of the overall cost of the renovation. At the request
of Chairman Larry Hedrick, this matter was placed on the agenda for further discussion by the board.
Mr. Gene Krider from the firm of Pendleton, Leonard & Krider, has suggested that since the
renovation is planned to be completed in phases, it would be a good idea to have the complete
working drawings done in advance to eliminate unnecessary costs in the event of overlapping work in
the phases.
After further discussion Chairman Mills appointed a committee comprised of Commissioners Mur-
dock and Crosswhite and Mrs. Alice Fortner from the County staff to come up with a specific proposal
for using the old courthouse and how to go about implementing such a plan. This recommendation
should be brought back to the board by the second meeting in January 1987, in time to submit a
request to the 1987 General Assembly.
Mr. Deal, county manager, pointed out that Harnett County had just completed an arrangement on
a new lease-purchase of a building. This was discussed at the manager's meeting during the North
Carolina Association of County Commissioners in Winston-Salem. Mr. Deal said he would like to get
more information on the arrangement. Mr. Deal also named some other departments of county
~— government that are in need of additional office space, which are Sheriff's Department and Health
Department.
He also discussed a proposal that the City of Statesville and the County had been discussing,
which is putting the two building code enforcement departments in the same building, the old city
hall building. This is to be discussed further at the joint meeting of Statesville and the County
on September 22nd.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES AT LANDFILL: The county manager had solicited
proposals for engineering services at the landfill. This was based on a directive by the board in
executive session on April 29, 1986. A proposal with Municipal Engineering Services, Raleigh, NC,
in the amount of $29,000 is being recommended by the County Manager.
MOTION from Chairman Mills to approve the proposal of $29,000 between Municipal Engineering
Services and Iredell County. Funds are to come from the landfill budget.

CENTRALINA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION; On July 6, 1982, the board by consensus agreed to loan
$2,000 for start-up costs for the Centralina Development Corporation, Inc., under the direction of
Centralina Council of Governments. Contract for this loan was approved on November 9, 1982. This
matter was brought before the board at the September 2, 1986 meeting, and more information was
requested. The board discussed the matter further at this time.
MOTION from Chairman Mills that the Board release Centralina Development Corporation from the
obligation to repay the $2,000.

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
LEASE ON MOORESVILLE OFFICE BUILDING (CLODFELTER BUILDING): The ten-year lease for the Moores-
ville Office Building expires on November 30, 1986. According to the lease agreement, option to
purchase requires three appraisers: one to be chosen by Iredell County, one to be chosen by Mr.
Clodfelter; and these two appraisers choose the third.
A list of realtors from the Mooresville area was presented to the board. From this list by
drawing three names the board chose the following:
1. Howard Realty
2. Lake Norman Homes
3. Basinger & West
The staff was directed come up with an appraiser from these three, starting with #1 and going
through #3, if necessary.
LOWRANCE HOSPITAL SALE - PAYMENT OF BILL: The county manager brought to the attention of the
board one additional bill that was incurred in the sale of the Lowrance Hospital. The county
manager recommended payment of the bill to Ernst & Whinney in the amount of $11,750.
No board action is required on this matter; the county manager wanted to inform the board of
the payment. Chairman Mills said if there was no objection, the board would allow the payment to be
made. There were no objections from any board members.
PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE GOALS - 1987 SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: A letter was received from
the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners requesting that the county commissioners
submit any proposed legislative goals to NCACC prior to October 8, 1986. In disucssing this matter,
Chairman Mills brought up the matter of nuclear waste disposal sites and the desire not to have such
a site in Iredell County.
MECKLENBURG NECK: Chairman Mills inquired if there was anything the county commissioners
should do regarding the recent news about Mecklenburg Neck citizens desiring to become a part of
Iredell County. The county manager said there was a lot of interest by the citizens in the Mecklen-
burg Neck area in becoming a part of Iredell County. Mr. Deal has talked with the Mecklenburg
County Manager, and he said there was a lot of feeling on the part of the Mecklenburg County
Commissioners that if at the public hearing (to be held on October 20, 1986), those people really
want to be a part of Iredell County, the board would go along with it. Mr. Deal further said that
the Mecklenburg Board of Commissioners would need to go on record as favoring the change of coun-
ties. Final decision will be made by the North Carolina General Assembly.
Iredell County now furnishes emergency medical services, fire protection, schools, and rescue
squad services. Law enforcement is not included. This is handled through a inter-governmental
contract arrangement between Iredell County and Mecklenburg County.
DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE SEPTEMBER 22ND MEETING WITH THE CITY OF SATESVILLE: The
county manager gave the following as a tentative list of items of business for the joint meeting
between the City of Statesville and Iredell] County, which is to be held at 6:00 p.m., Statesville
City Club, on September 22nd:
(1) Hotel/Motel Tax
(2) Water and Sewer Policy, specifically as it relates to the
Crawford Road Project
(3) Central Communications Center
(4) Joint efforts by City and County (the possibility of having
the planning and inspections departments and perhaps the
sanitarians located in the same building)

SEPTEMBER 22, 1986
(JOINT MEETING WITH THE STATESVILLE CITY COUNCIL)
The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met with the Statesville City Council at the States-
ville City Club on Monday, September 22, 1986, 6:00 p.m. Present for the meeting were:
Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman
William A. Mills, Vice Chairman
Jessie S. Crosswhite
Frances L. Murdock
Alice M. Stewart
Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager
William P. Pope, County Attorney
Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board
Others present; Members of the Statesville City Council
Mayor Ralph Bentley
City Attorney Whittenton
Members of the Press
CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick and Mayor Bentley
INVOCATION: By Councilman A. E. Peterson
PRESIDING OFFICER: Chairman Hedrick announced that Mayor Bentley would be conducting the
meeting.
HOTEL/MOTEL TAX: Mayor Bentley said that the Statesville City Council had set the development
of a civic center as a high priority. The City Council wanted to use the hotel/motel tax as a
source of income for this project. The City would like to put the revenues from a hotel/motel tax
in a reserve account and after a period of time, they could use these funds as "seed" money to begin
construction on a civic center.
Mayor Bentley asked the County to abolish the Civic Center Authority so the City of Statesville
could implement the hotel/motel tax for the purpose of constructing a civic center. The projected
potential income from such a tax is approximately $200,000 annually, based on a 50% occupancy rate.
Vice Chairman Mills inquired how this would be set up so that the county commissioners would be
assured that this is what the money would be used for, to which the Mayor replied that the funds
would be set up in a special account and earmarked by a resolution. Mayor Bentley also said it
would probably be two years before they could “break ground." He said they would be promoting smal]
conventions; they would want the project to be self-supporting, no taxes to support a civic center.
Councilman Rick Dagenhart said the first priority would be to get the civic center paid for,
and eventually have a user fee for supporting the civic center, which should make it self-suppor-
ting.
Commissioner Alice Stewart inquired if a time limit could be established for building a civic
center. Mayor Bentley said they do not have a timetable; they would need to get outside information
before a timetable can be established.
Vice Chairman Mills said a lot of revenue was being lost through not having a hotel/motel tax.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if, in the future, this project was found not to be feasible, the
proceeds could be divided between the City and the County on a percentage basis. Vice Chairman
Mills also mentioned that eventually the civic center would be paid for and then the City would have
the funds for something else.
County Manager Deal inquired about the collection procedure for the hotel/motel tax if the
county commissioners agreed to do as the City asked. It was decided that the City would collect
this revenue and it would not come through the County's Tax Collection Office.
County Attorney William P. Pope said he believed the two governmental bodies could enter into a <
contract with one another, each saying what they would do. He said he did not see why it would not
be a valid contract.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to authorize the execution of a contract between the City of
Statesville and the County of Iredell whereby the County of Iredell agrees to abolish the Civic
Center Authority and the City of Statesville agrees that the proceeds from the levy of a hotel/motel
tax will be applied towards the construction of a civic center, and in the event construction of a
civic center is found unfeasible by the City of Statesville, the unspent funds would be divided
between the City of Statesville and the County of Iredell on a 50/50 basis, and future taxing
authority would be as determined by the North Carolina General Assembly.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Vice Chairman Mills said the contract would still have to be approved; this is simply the
662
intent. The two attorneys would have to get together and "hammer out" the contract and bring it
before the two boards for final approval.
(Following this, the City took action on the motion; voting was unanimously in favor of the
motion stated above.)
WATER AND SEWER, CRAWFORD ROAD: Mayor Bentley gave the following cost estimate for the Craw-
ford Road Project:
Sewer Line $350,000
Additional line construction,
engineering, rights-of-ways 120,000
The City of Statesville proposed the following change to the 70/30 plan, currently in force
between the City of Statesville and Iredell County:
(1) Develop 50/50 joint share
(2) No pay-back after annexation
(3) Share in acreage fee to be charged
Total revised shares are as follows:
County $230,000
Klear Knit, Inc. 20,000
Contributions from
Other Developers 73,000
50/50 Contribution
from County & City 140,000
Mayor Bentley proposed that the acreage money would be put back into a revolving account, and
funds from this account would be limited to development of water and sewer lines from the
Statesville area.
Vice Chairman Mills said the county commissioners would have to be concerned with the other
municipalities in the county; the board could not do for one municipality what they were not doing
for another.
Councilman Dagenhart inquired about control over price of the property to be developed in that
area, to which Mayor Bentley replied that Jack King from the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce
is looking into this and will have a letter setting forth prices of land for development. Council-
man Dagenhart also inquired about lack of rail siding for this area, which may prohibit some plants
from developing there.
Mayor Bentley said a revolving fund was needed. An overall policy, then some general planning
could begin. Heretofore, he said, it has been “crisis” planning.
Councilman Kivett reported on the impact fee, which is to be called a "Utility Availability
Fee." These fees are suggested as:
Water $450 per acre
Sewer $500 per acre
A letter of intent would be secured for the 195 acres, fixing a firm price for the sale of the land
for development for a fixed period of time.
Regarding availability of water, which is now supplied by Iredell Water Corporation (8" line),
Councilman Dagenhart said that water for the area may have to be looked at also, because of
sprinkler systems, etc.
The City Council voted unanimously (Gregory excused; conflict of interest) to enter into the
plan as outlined by Mayor Bentley, which is:
County $230,000
Klear Knit, Inc. 20,000
Contributions from
Other Developers 73,000
50/50 contribution
From County & City 140,000
No Pay Back to County
Acreage Impact Fee (to be placed in a revolving account for
future water/sewer projects involving Statesville and
Iredell County)
Chairman Hedrick said the County Board of Commissioners would get all the information and
discuss this as soon as possible.
UPDATE ON CENTRAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: County Manager Deal discussed this with the group.
The Statesville City Council voted to explore the matter further. Motion carried.

CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick
CONTINUATION OF DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER LINE PROJECT: Chairman Hedrick announced that the purpose of this meeting was to follow up on the joint meeting between the City of Statesville and Iredell County that was held on Monday, September 22nd, at the Statesville City Club, when the City of Statesville proposed and unanimously approved a new formula for financing the Crawford Road Sewer Line Project. The City approved financing as follows:
County $230,000
Klear Knit, Inc. $ 20,000 teas Contributions from other
developers $ 73,000
50/50 Contribution from
County & City $140,000
No pay back to County
Acreage Impact Fee (to be placed in a revolving
account for future water/sewer projects
that involve Statesville & Iredell County
A memo on this subject was mailed to each commissioner by the county manager. The memo con- ‘ tained a recommendation to the board, which was to authorize the City's proposition in spirit and put the project out to bid. This would give the City time to finalize the acreage impact fee, the contributions by the developers, and will enable Klear Knit, Inc., to request an extension on their pump and haul permit from the State.
A discussion took place by the board members and the manager regarding the recent deviations from the original 70/30 funding policy for water and sewer line extensions. Mention was made of the Mooresville Industrial Park and the I-77 and NC-150 Project (CDB Grant), where funding levels were different from the 70/30 participation. It was brought out by Commissioner Mills that 22% unemployment rate in the area was a factor in the change of funding level in the Mooresville Industrial Park, and the $750,000 State grant received made a difference in the funding levels for the I-77 & NC-150 Project.
Available funds for water and sewer extensions were discussed. At the present time $1,095,242 in State Water & Sewer Funds have been allocated to Iredell County. Of this amount $711,428 is earmarked for projects (I-77 & NC-150 Project $313,028; Iredell Water Corporation $112,500; West Iredell] Water $250,000; Water Sewer Study, Phase II $35,900), leaving a balance for appropriation at this date of $383,814 in State Funds.
County funds available for appropriation in the 1986-87 Budget are $420,000. However, it may be necessary to change the funding source for the Iredell Water Corporation ($112,500), which would

leave more State Funds and less County funds available.
The county manager discussed with the board that the funds from the State must be appropriated
by December 31, 1986. He said these funds had to be committed for specific projects by this date.
A discussion took place on how these funds could be allocated to keep from losing the funds in the
county and on annexation, deviating from the 70/30 policy, and tap-on fees.
Regarding changing the present 70/30 policy, Commissioner Mills said if the County agrees to
the City's proposal, the County should make sure this 50/50 policy is where they want to go in the
future and adopt it for all the municipalities in the County. '
Chairman Hedrick suggested that in another budget year a notice should be published in the
local newspapers stating the amount of funds available for water and sewer extensions so that
everybody would be aware of the funds available. He said he thought the chambers of commerce should
act as a clearinghouse to keep water and sewer funds from becoming political decisions.
Jack King, Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce, discussed the Highway 70 request that was
to be presented later in this meeting. He discussed the alternate routes that are possible. No
preliminary engineering work has been done on this project to date. There are 715-750 jobs in the
Highway 70 area, he said. Rail is also available here.
Mr. King said it was better to have two or three industrial sites to show to industrial
prospects, which helps to keep the prices for the sites more competitive. Mr. King said he would
like to have letters of intent on prices of land. He said there were 200,000 people within a 25-
mile radius of Statesville, and about 5,000 in any 60-day period looking for work. Mr. King things
a choice of sites is ideal.
In discussion the 70/30 plan for water and sewer extensions, it was brought out that the 30% is
returned to the County, but there has never been any annexation during the 10-year period when a
percentage of the County's allocation to the project could be returned.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick:
The County, subject to final details, agree in spirit for the City Engineer to proceed to put
the bids out on the Crawford Road Project. This would be some time in November. Encourage the City
to have the bids back before the new board of commissioners takes over at the first Monday in
December.
Before voting on the motion, a discussion took place by the board members on the meaning of
“agreeing in spirit." This was defined as follows: Bring back the bids and determine how much the
County's part is going to be before the County agrees to fund. The County will not fund more than
70% of the project. The acreage impact fee would be shared equally between the County and the City
of Statesville.
(1) Accept Statesville's proposal in spirit and jointly authorize
the City's engineer to proceed to put the project out to bids.
(2) County and City request a pump and haul extension for Klear
Knit based upon receipt of bids.
(3) State clearly that the agreement on Crawford Road is a one-
time project (much like I-77/NC-150).
(4) Stipulate that a final awarding of bids for Crawford Road is
contingent upon the following:
(a) Satisfactory adoption of a joint City-County
schedule of acreage fees (or whatever they are
called).
(b) Contributions by Klear Knit and the developers.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Commissioner Crosswhite said she wuld also like to see the County pursue the items #5 and #6,
listed in Mr. Deal's letter to the board, which are:
(5) The County should work diligently to develop a new water
and sewer extension policy for the entire county.
(6) The County work diligently to carry out the County's new
water and sewer study.
All the commissioners agreed with Commissioner Crosswhite's statement.
HARRY TSUMAS REQUEST FOR HIGHWAY 70 (SALISBURY ROAD) WATER AND SEWER EXTENSIONS: Mr. Harry
Tsumas, Jr. represented his father in this request, since Mr. Tsumas, Sr. could not be present at
this meeting. A petition containing 17 businesses in the Highway 70 area was presented to the
board. The petition requested consideration for water and sewer extensions in the Highway 70 area
before additional funds were spent for speculative development in Iredell County.

Mr. Tsumas said he was definitely not opposed to the (Crawford Road) project, but believes the
Highway 70 project deserves some attention. There is growth potential in this area, he said. The
water and sewer lines presently come to Intercraft. All the other industries beyond this point
would like to have water and sewer also.
Mr. Tsumas referred to the recent water and sewer study and said that it did not address
private systems in the county. They presently have a 200,000 gallon water storage tank that serves
the industrial park on Highway 70. This system was built to specifications for the City of States-
ville to take over in the future.
Mr. Tom Willet, Alton Corporation, now Jefferson Smurfit (Dublin, Ireland) spoke to the board.
Mr. Willet has lived nine years in Iredell County. One of his concerns is with insurance due to low
water pressure. He spoke of the expansion of his company. He believed the County should take care
of the industries now located here before recruiting additional industries. He said they wanted to
be remembered. They want to grow, he said, and have enough land to double their size.
Mr. Jim Thabet, business partner of Mr. Tsumas, said U. S. 70 project has approximately 1,000
acres with rail. He thinks the City and County should look at U. S. 70 for industrial sites
requiring rail. He said they needed public sewer and water facilities in the Highway 70 area.
Commissioner MI11s asked the developers at Highway 70 to come up with a proposal for this area.
IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: The board and the county manager discussed the possibility of
having to substitute $112,500 of County funds for the Iredell Water Corporation line extension to
North Iredell High School, which has already been approved by the board, using State funds. Because
of the requirements of Farmers Home Administration, the County many not be allowed to use State
funds for this project. Mr. Deal has talked with Mr. Holman, Iredell Water Corporation Manager,
about this change.
REQUEST FOR FUNDS FOR TROUTMAN: Commissioner Murdock brought up a need for funds for water
from the Town of Troutman. Troutman has entered into a contract with the City of Statesville for
water; however a pump station, which will cost between $70,000 and $90,000, is needed. Commissioner
Murdock said this agreement between Statesville and Troutman is according to the water and sewer
plan. Commissioner Murdock requested that the board give Troutman approximately $15,000 to be used
toward the cost of the hook-up with Statesville.
The board and the manager discussed the best use of the County's funds for water and sewer as
pertains to the recently completed water and sewer study. Chairman Hedrick asked if the board
should consider getting into the water business and does the board want to stay with industrial
contributions only. He said this was a question that the board needs to ask at another meeting.
Commissioner Mills said he thought the board should ask the county manager to offer a proposal to go
to West Iredell Water Corporation.
The board also discussed the establishment of a water authority and the need of some sort of
reservoir.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the Troutman funding she brought up earlier. She said
Troutman needs to have an answer in the next couple of months. Commissioner Mills said the board
would need to take action by December ‘st.
DISCUSSION OF APPRAISAL OF MOORESVILLE OFFICE BUILDING (CLODFELTER PROPERTY): Mr. Deal offered
the names of Sherrill Parks and Richard Edmiston as appraisers for the County in the three-member
appraisal team for the consideration of purchase of the Clodfelter building in Mooresville. Mr.
Parks would be representing the County, and Mr. Edmiston would be representing both the County and
— Mr. Clodfelter and the third member of this appraisal team. Mr. Clodfelter has asked Mr. Edwin
Hunter to represent him in this appraisal. The board had no problem with these appraisers.
HOLLY FARMS: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, brought to the attention of the board that
Holly Farms has purchased a 200-acre tract in North Iredell for the purpose of disposal of waste
through land application. A letter has been prepared to respond to the application, and the letter
was read at this time.
Mr. Lundy explained the process of the land application. He said this is an organic sludge
that settles out of the lagoons at the plant in North Iredell. The also plan to bring the sludge
from Wilkes County for application at this 200-acre site. The substance is plowed into the soil.
The board members agreed that a public hearing should be held regarding this matter, and it
should be held in the North Iredell Area. No date was set.
LOW LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE IN IREDELL COUNTY: A discussion took place by the board members of the
possibility of Iredell County becoming a low level nuclear waste site. An organization called
Citizens Against Radioactive Environment (CARE) has asked to have a representative at the next
meeting of the board of commissioners.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: A discussion took place regarding the lengthy agenda for October 7th,
especially items that are scheduled for public hearings on rezoning matters. It was decided that an
agenda briefing would be held by the staff and board on Monday, October 6, 1986, at 3:00 p.m. This
would give the board members more time to familiarize themselves with matters listed on the agenda
and would give the staff more time to do research the board members might request prior to the board
meeting.

ADJOURN: Chairman Hedrick adjourned the meeting at 2:00 p.m. Agenda briefing scheduled for
3:00 p.m., Monday, October 6, 1986, County Annex Conference Room. Regular Meeting of the board is

ROBERT W. & CHARLES H. STAMEY, REQUEST FOR REZONING: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director,
presented the request to the board. The request is for rezoning from R-20, Single Family Residen-
tial, to G-B, General Business. The owners plan to use the property for service and trades type A
use. The surrounding property is vacant, and the property across the road from it is already
General Business and contains an existing lumber yard. —
The Iredell County Planning Board unanimously recommended the request for rezoning as
requested.
No one present spoke for or against this rezoning matter.
SHERRILL A. OSTWALT, REQUEST FOR REZONING: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, presented the
request to the board. The request is for Residential/Agricultural to General Business. The proper-
ty is located on SR 1615, Mt. Herman Road, off State Road 1005, Old Mountain Road, near I-40. Mr.
Ostwalt had requested earlier that this property be rezoned, but the request was withdrawn and
resubmitted. The planning board has considered that request and their concerns are the two means of
access are undesirable for trucks and are both through established residential areas.
There are also severe water problems in the area which the planning board feels need to be
resolved prior to creating new business-type zoning in the area. The planning board voted unani-
mously to recommend to the county board of commissioners to deny Mr. Ostwalt's request for rezoning.
The proposed use, according to Mr. Ostwalt, is for a wood-working shop and other other general
business permitted uses.
66/7
Vice Chairman Mills recognized Mr. Bedford Cannon, Mr. Ostwalt's attorney. Mr. Cannon said the
property in question is located primarily on the southern side of Mt. Herman Church Road, which is
the road that Mr. Ostwalt lives on. Mr. Ostwalt has a tract of land which is approximately 60
acres, which extends back from 1-40 a good deal in excess of the 1000' limit.
Mr. Ostwalt has a well on the property. Currently the only use of the well is for Mr. Ost-
walt's residence. Mr. Ostwalt has a hook-on to West Iredell Water. The well has a 14-gallon per
minute capability, and Mr. Cannon said a water system could be developed from this well. The type
of light businesses included in General Business would not necessarily have to use West Iredell
Water Corporation water.
Mr. Ostwalt has no specific plan in mind as far as the development of this property. Mr.
Cannon said they were seeking a general upgrading of the uses to which this property can be put.
They believe it will have beneficial effect of increasing the value of the property, and it would
make the property more marketable if it was decided later to sell a portion of the property.
Mr. Cannon said there seemed to be a lot of emphasis placed on problems encountered with
regards to trucks or tractor-trailer trucks, if such were to come into a business in this area. Mr.
Cannon has had a neighbor, who is a truck driver, who took his rig and drove it through all the
intersections which are in question; and Mr. Cannon said he believed he could demonstrate that this
issue is not a negative issue as far as the zoning request is concerned.
There are three intersections in question: one at Fame Plastics, one farther north, off Old
Mountain Road, and one to the south of I-40. So there are three accesses off 01d Mountain Road into
this area. Mr. Cannon showed photographs to the board members showing a tractor-trailer negotiating
the intersections.
Mr. Wayne Deal, owner of Deal's Machine Shop, was present to answer questions concerning
tractor-trailers negotiating the intersections while making deliveries to his place of business.
One of the problems, Mr. Cannon said, was that in the past there has been some deve lopment
around the I-40/0ld Mountain Road interchange which could be described as undesirable. Mr. Cannon
believes that what has happened in the past has made the people who own property in this area
hesitant about any type of further development. Mr. Cannon asked when the board makes a decision
that the board base its decision strictly on the facts that are presented rather than what has
happened in the past. He said that with regards to Mr. Yount or any other potential investor, he
was not there to have the zoning changed for someone else. There are no contracts with any person
at the present time for the development of this property, he said. The location and the general
tenor in that area lead them to believe that it would be beneficial to upgrade the zoning on this
particular piece of property.
A number of the adjoining landowners were present in support of this petition, Mr. Cannon said.
He also had affidavits signed by the landowners which he presented to the board of commissioners.
He gave some distances from his client's home to various strategic areas, dwellings and businesses.
Mr. Cannon asked those in support of the rezoning to stand. Six people stood in favor of the
rezoning.
If Mr. Ostwalt decides to utilize this property himself, he would probably build a woodworking
shop. Mr. Cannon showed a drawing by Mr. Gerald Grant showing where a woodworking shop could be
located south of Mt. Herman Church Road. Mr. Cannon said his client would not want to be confined
to building the woodworking shop as the intended use.
In summarizing, Mr. Cannon said he believed there is going to be development in the area. He is
present because he believes he presents a case for orderly development. He said he realized that
— there may have been some unplanned or hasty development in this area prior to this time, but he
doesn't think that his request would follow that course. He believes his request is a logical
request and lends itself nicely to the businesses that are already in place. It will not appreciab-
ly increase the traffic on this road, which he believes is a sparsely populated, rural paved road.
It is a nice community and he does not believe that any of the land uses which are contained in
General Business would change that to any degree. The types of businesses that are in General
Business could be handled by the water capacity that his client has in his existing well, so he
would not be dependent upon West Iredell Water Corporation. He said he did not envision any appre-
ciable amount of heavy truck traffic, and whatever truck traffic there was could easily negotiate
these three interchanges, which would further diminish the traffic.
Vice Chairman Mills asked if there were questions from the board members. Commissioner Murdock
inquired about the affidavits and the use of the property. The affidavit said from R/A to M-1, c
where the request from the planning board is R/A to G/B, Commissioner Murdock said. Mr. Cannon said
the board had the wrong set of affidavits, because the original affidavits addressed the M-1, and
when the application was changed they had new affidavits for G/B. Affidavits in the same form were
done for G/B.
Vice Chairman Mills inquired about the length of a trailer. Mr. Cannon said the length of a
trailer is 20'; the cab another 15'. The maximum length of trailer plus tractor is 60’. Mr. Wayne
Deal and Mr. Miller have had extensive use in 60° trailer length. Mr. Deal said his suppliers did
have 60' tractor-trailers, and they posed no problem.
Mr. Wayne Deal said they had tractor trailers from Edgecombe Steel, Common Carriers, Ryerson
Steel, and Alcoa Aluminum. All of these are huge trailers, and none seem to have any problems
getting to his place and back. Mr. Deal's place of business's primary access is off Old Mountain
Road, onto Beulah Church Road.

668
Vice Chairman Mills inquired if there were any others who wished to speak in favor of the
rezoning.
There were no others to speak.
Vice Chairman Mills opened the floor to those in opposition to the rezoning.
Mr. Mike Southerland asked a question about negotiating the turn off Mt. Herman Road .down onto
Beulah Church Road, which comes to a dead end and makes sharp turns and enters on a curve. He said y
it seemed that it would be extremely difficult for a longer tractor-trailer rig to negotiate. He
said it seems that the most viable way would be to have the road regraded, which would be very
expensive on the State, and he doubted if the State would ever do this.
Mr. Miller answered Mr. Southerland's question in reference to driving a tractor-trailer with a
P6 Bulldozer on it. He said on any two-lane road with a tractor-trailer, there is no way to make a
turn without crossing the center line. He made reference to driving in Charlotte in alleys, etc.,
where he said it is necessary to take both lanes.
Mrs. Evaline Fulbright said she believed the board is being misled because of the statement of
three access roads to the property. She said Fame's road is a private road and has a sign that says
"no through traffic." Mr. Cannon said he was talking about three public roads, not a private road.
Mrs. Fulbright said Mr. Deal's business is not located on Mt. Herman Church Road. Mrs. Fulbright
said she was opposed to any additional business being put in the community because it lowers the
value of their residential property, and they would like to see it stay residential.
Mr. Troy Cash said he used to drive a truck for a living, pulling house trailers. He said
there was no way you can come out of Beulah Church Road without crossing the center line into the
blind curve. He said there was an S turn, and a tractor-trailer had to take both lanes. This road
was not built for heavy traffic, Mr. Cash said. It is a country road with tar and gravel and does
not have 9" base and 4" concrete.
Mr. Cash said they were being led to believe they were going to have a small shop built there.
Sixty acres are not needed to build a small shop, he said. He believes there is already an intended
use for it. He believes that businesses will depreciate the value of the neighbors' land. It will
deter anybody else from building a home there. He thinks there will be a decline of the community.
The zone change is about 100' to 125' from Mr. Cash's house.
Mr. Glen Rimmer, resident of Mt. Herman Church Road. Basically without going through the whole
thing again, there is a traffic problem, a water problem, and a hazardous driving problem with large
trucks. He said it is congested enough. The curves are difficult enough with a car. He also said
there was a noise problem already with the businesses there. Walking for exercise on the road would
be difficult with additional heavy traffic on the road.
Mr. Cannon requested that the board look at the General Business usages. He thinks Mr. Ost-
walt's rezoning would support the useages already in the area. There cannot be anything like Fame
or Zimmer or large plants with a lot of noise. There are not going to be that many trucks going
into or out of businesses listed under General Business. He said he would not characterize this
neighborhood as a residential neighborhood; he believes that the area is a mixed neighborhood.
There is some heavy industrial development up and down I-40, and his request does not rise to the
level of Fame Plastic or Zimmer. It is basically to have the ability to support business of this
type. He envisions no noise. They have they own water with a well in place. There are three ways
of access into the property.
Mr. Cannon asked that the board take all this into consideration.
Commissioner Stewart asked for a show of hands in opposition to the rezoning. Thirteen persons
raised hands in opposition; six people raised hands in favor of the rezoning.
An unidentified person said Mr. Cannon referred to the area as not being a residential area.
He said Mt. Herman Church Road is approximately 1/2 mile long, and there are eleven homes in the
neighborhood.
Vice Chairman Mills said the board would hear five rezoning applications; at the end of the
hearing, the board would return to regular session and make decisions on all five of the cases.
JOHN R. KINDLEY, HERON POINT: Mr. Lundy said that Mr. Kindley owns a lot located on Heron c
Point in Heronwood Subdivision. The request was received from Mr. Kindley and reviewed by the
planning board. Mr. Kindley is requesting an upgrade in zoning; however, it will have an effect on
an already approved PRD. Mr. Lundy said his concern is that positive action toward this rezoning
request will create a major change to an already approved PRD. He does not believe the board is in
a position to make that change without going through the procedural hearing that is required for a
major change in a PRD. The planning board has recommended denial of the request for rezoning from
PRD to R-20.
Vice Chairman Mills inquired about the other individual lots on the point and discussed the
opinion of the staff of the board not making a change without going through a procedural hearing.
A discussion took place on what constitutes a minor modification and that the other party
involved has not made any move to go along with Mr. Kindley's request. Mr. Lundy believes because
Heronwood has not jointly made a request for this rezoning, it becomes a major modification that
cannot be done without a procedural hearing to consider Mr. Kindley's rezoning request.
669
Mr. Edwards, attorney for Mr. Kindley spoke in reference to the rezoning request. He believes
that Mr. Lundy could approve this as a minor modification. He said his client cannot proceed with
single family dwelling structure unless they get a zoning that allows them to get a building permit.
He again said he did not think they were talking about a major modification. If the board is
inclined to go through the procedural hearing for the modification, then he and his client would be
ready to do so.
Mr. Kindley said that Mr. Lundy was worried about Heronwood's position, but they were not at
the meeting tonight, they advertised the property for sale, they sold it, they signed a contract,
they dated it, and he thinks they showed a pretty strong intent to do something. He asked for a
show of hands for himself and for Heronwood.
Vice Chairman Mills said the board would have a voicing of opinion a little later. He thought
most of the board's questions would be directed to the county attorney.
Mrs. Clark said that it was their understanding when they came before the former board that a
motion was made that all the property that bordered on Clark Cove would be single-family units. Mr.
Kindley's property borders on Clark Cove, and they feel that the ordinance (sic) has already been
passed, that that property was rezoned at that time for single-family use. She saw no reason at all
for this property to be brought before this board again, because it was settled at that time. Mr.
Campbell made the motion that all the property that bordered on Clark Cove would be single-family
units, and Mr. Kindley's property is included on Clark Cove.
Vice Chairman Mills asked her to look at the map and see what was zoned as R-20 and how far
around it went.
Mrs. Clark said she realized what the map shows now because she went to the planning board
meeting, but they were under the impression from the very beginning at all those meetings that there
would be only one family on the lots that were on the Cove.
Vice Chairman Mills said that was correct. It is just a matter of how far around that cove it
goes. This particular piece of property is not included in those R-20 lots.
Vice Chairman Mills asked for additional comments for the rezoning.
No one else spoke.
Vice Chairman Mills asked for comments in opposition.
No one else spoke.
Vice Chairman Mills asked for the comments of William P. Pope, County Attorney. Vice Chairman
Mills said he thought it was a legal question. He said he did not agree with Mr. Edwards' comments
that Mr. Lundy could make a change of this nature, especially under the circumstances of the nego-
tiations and all the problems that we have had with this one particular subdivision. Vice Chairman
Mills said legally he wanted the board to be as right as it could be.
County Attorney Pope said he expressed an opinion to Mr. Lundy that he felt this was a spot
zoning request to rezone a spot single-family in the middle of a PRD, and that the county would have
a problem rezoning it to single family without rezoning the adjoining property, of which he doesn't
think there is a request.
Mr. Pope said he also expressed the opinion that he agrees with Mr. Edwards in all probability
the court would determine that the developers of Heronwood are estopped to do anything about Mr.
Kindley's development of his property for single-family purposes; however, Mr. Pope does not think
it is encumbent upon Mr. Lundy to make judicial interpretations. He does not think it is fair to
subject him to that under the circumstances. Mr. Pope said he suspected it is a minor modification;
however, Mr. Edwards is calling upon Mr. Lundy to make a decision that he is not sure it is fair to
call upon him to make. If Mr. Kindley's property joined the other R-20's, then you would be
clearly confronted with tie question of whether it is a minor modification. In conclusion, he said
he thought it was a spot zone.
Vice Chairman Mills asked Mr. Edwards if he wished to make further comments.
Mr. Edwards said he could understand the board's position, and he would be willing to go back
and petition and ask for the modification of that special use permit. Rather than withdraw, he
asked that the board allow them the opportunity to continue this hearing and allow them to make the
efforts, and he did not believe it would be any question then.
Vice Chairman Mills said the board was not changing anything that is on the ground, but they
would be changing a basic approval that was made for the PRD, the basic location of the units. He
spoke again of the legal hearings, etc., in this particular matter, and there was nothing easy about
it. He asked Mr. Lundy if the board did not deny this, as Mr. Edwards has requested, what would be
the procedure through the planning board and the planning department.
Mr. Lundy said the board could continue this public hearing at a later date, upon which the
parties involved would be notified. It would save having to advertise another public hearing and it
would save Mr. Edwards having to file a rezoning application. Mr. Lundy said his concern is that
in order to make what he considers a simple decision for Mr. Edwards is creating a major change to
something that the board has already approved under a very legalistic required hearing. He believes
oe ae ee ae ee ee er Ue eee wiles onan!
670
in order to make this change, the board will have to go back to another hearing in conjunction with
his request, and then he believes, with Mr. Pope's concurrence, that the board would be free to make
a decision on Mr. Kindley's request after giving the other side an opportunity.
Mr. Kindley said Heronwood has pretty much invalidated their PRD. He did not think Heronwood
was very considerate of the work the board has done on it. He believes that Heronwood has invali-
dated their zoning themselves by selling property. There's no way they are going to build a condo
on his property, he said.
Commissioner Murdock asked if there was another map other than the one posted on the board for
the hearing. Mr. Lundy said there were three separate maps. Mr. Lundy explained the maps, and i
Commissioner Murdock said she would come by the Planning Office to discuss this further.
Mr. Lundy said his concern is not so much with the other (Heronwood) situation as has been
inferred. He said his position is in what position he puts the county.
FLOYD 0. COLLINS, REPRESENTED BY T. C. HOMESLEY, JR. REQUEST TO REZONE FROM R-20 AND NEIGHBOR-
HOOD BUSINESS TO CONDITIONAL USE HIGHWAY BUSINESS. The board of county commissioners heard this
request at a previous meeting, and during that meeting, Mr. Collins, who was represented by Mr.
Homesley, sought to amend his request and to request a smaller portion of his property be rezoned
and place a conditional use on that property. The board at that point remanded this case back to
the planning board for additional hearings during which time the staff discussed with Mr. Homes ley
what the conditions on that request would be.
During the planning board meeting it was proposed that the planning board would allow the store
operating automobile sales, new and used, including related repair services, not to include outdoor
storage of junk cars or major mechanical repairs. Mr. Lowery, a member of the planning board, asked
Mr. Collins to exclude service repairs and only have clean-ups. Mr. Collins agreed to that amend-
ment during that meeting. After further discussion concerning the proposed conditional use request,
the planning board on a 7-3 vote recommended that the county board of commissioners deny Mr. Col-
lins' request.
Vice Chairman asked for questions from the board and asked if there was anyone present to speak
in favor of this rezoning. He asked if there was anyone present to speak in opposition.
Mr. Floyd Collins spoke in favor of his request. He said those who are opposed to the rezoning
living approximately one mile to a mile and a half from the site.
Mack Wilson said he lives directly across from the property that is being requested to be
rezoned. He said it was not a mile, it was more like 600' to 700'. His view is directly into this
property, and he asked the board to consider the planning board's decision.
Barbara Potter said she was in the same position as Mr. Wilson. Her house overlooks the cove.
Especially during the winter time when the leaves are off the trees, she had a direct view of this.
Mr. Moss lives next door to Mrs. Potter, and he supports what they are saying. He said he
believes there are several people present who are asking the board to uphold the planning board's
recommendation who has two times denied this. Even the second time after the request was modified,
putting stricter zoning, they are still looking at a car lot.
Roy Copeland lives two houses up. He said he is looking at the same thing. It is not some-
thing he would like to look across at. He said he was not trying to hurt anybody's business, the
property values are good, and he doesn't want to see them go down.
Joe --------- . There are three restricted subdivisions close by this property. He believes
the board would be setting a precedent for spot zoning if the board permits this highway zoning on tree
this road. He asked the board to uphold the planning board's recommendation.
Vice Chairman Mills asked for additional comments. There were none.
REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 61.2 OF THE IREDELL COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW ON-
PREMISE SIGNS NEAR INTERSTATE INTERSECTIONS. Mr. Lundy said the planning staff received a request
from Mr. Tom Glover, representative of Gastonia United 0i1 Company, and Mr. Charles Welling, who
operates a business at the intersection of Amity Hill Road and I-77, South. The request was for
Article 9 be amended to allow for on-site advertising sign in Highway Business District to exceed
the 35' maximum height limit. They wish to erect a sign 85' above ground level for identification
purposes. The sign would be erected on Mr. Charles Welling's property. The sign needs to be higher
because of the trees in the area are 70'.
The planning board has considered the request of Mr. Welling and Mr. Glover to allow 85' signs
in any district similar or like this, and they voted to recommend that the board of commissioners
deny the request for this amendment to Section 61.2.
Vice Chairman Mills asked if anyone wish to speak in favor of this request.
Mr. Glover stated that Mr. Charles Welling, the owner, is still requesting permission to erect
an identification sign. They did not want to get into changing the ordinance to do this. They
really wanted to get a variance in this particular instance on his particular property and not get
into opening the door for everything on I-77 and Iredell County could go 85'. Their position is to
ask for a variance.
Vice Chairman Mills said at the pre-agenda meeting the board had looked at what some of the
& & any.
671
other counties do. He said he thought a better solution would be the state's new logo system. He
inquired what would be their feeling about this rather than an 85' sign. Mr. Glover said they had
talked with the state about this, and they thought it would come about after the first of January.
This will help their situation, he said. The state puts these signs almost at the exit ramp going
up to his property. The sign says fuel and gasoline, and gives a small decal of the oil company.
It doesn't let a trucker a mile away know that he can pull off there.
Vice Chairman Mills said some of the board members had been out to look at the site, and there
was some thought about whether a sign could be seen coming up the incline in the south bound lanes.
Mr. Welling said the sign would not be visible in the low gap, but it would be visible farther north
at the next rise, about a mile away. The sign will be lighted which would make it more visible, Mr.
Glover said. He said the sign would cost $21,000, but without the sign, the business could never do
what the owner intended to do.
Vice Chairman Mills asked if they had a high rise Chevron logo, how does the trucker know that
it is a truck stop. Mr. Glover said by the size of it.
Mr. Glover said in Statesville on I-40, they have the 80' signs. Vice Chairman Mills said the
City has an 80' ordinance. Mr. Glover said they could probably get buy with an 80' sign.
Commissioner Murdock says Mr. Welling does have a problem at this location.
Vice Chairman Mills asked Mr. Lundy how he felt about a variance rather than changing the
ordinance. Mr. Lundy said his belief was that the Board of Adjustment did not have the authority to
grant a 50' variance. Actually it creates something that doesn't even exist in the ordinance, which
states that the board should not have a power to place something in existence that is not permitted
anywhere in the ordinance. High rise signs are not permitted anywhere in the ordinance.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if the ordinance could be amended to allow a variance. The
board of adjustment takes their authority from the General Statutes, rather than the ordinance,
Lundy said. He did not think the board of commissioners could create a scenario to allow the board
of adjustment to have power to grant such a variance.
Mr. Pope, county attorney, said the board of commissioners would be delegating to non-elected
officials the power to change the law of Iredell] County, which the board previously adopted. Under
certain very defined and controlled circumstances, this could be done. The General Statutes em-
powers the board of adjustment to grant variances based on hardships that are peculiar to the land
itself, Mr. Pope said, and he asked Mr. Lundy if he recalled the statute. Mr. Lundy replied that
his problem was that the board was talking about a variance that is not allowed anywhere in the
ordinance. High rise signs are not allowed anywhere in the ordinance. It is the staff's opinion
that the board of adjustment does not have the authority to grant a variance that creates a new use
that the ordinance does not allow. That is why the staff recommended an amendment to the ordinance.
Vice Chairman Mills said he thought there was sentiment on the board to allow the sign to be
put in, but he did not believe there was sentiment to change the ordinance.
Mr. Welling said he thought the ordinance was speaking to billboards. He thinks there is a
difference in high rise signs and billboard signs.
Vice Chairman Mills said the board had promised Mr. Welling and Mr. Glover an answer tonight,
but the board did not want to create something that they couldn't live with. The matter was to be
turned over to staff and attorney, and they would have an answer in two weeks.

Vice Chairman Mills congratulated Mitchel] Community College, saying this is a big step forward
for the progress of Mitchel] Community college and the community, both Statesville and Mooresville
areas.
Dr. Charles Poindexter, President of Mitchell Community College, was present and expressed
gratitude for the actions of the board.
Vice Chairman Mills said this action had total support of the board of commissioners.
COALITION AGAINST RADIOACTIVE ENVIRONMENT (CARE), MRS. ELLEN O'BRIEN: Mrs. O'Brien was present
to discuss this matter with the board. She introduced Dr. Pam Sholar, a cancer specialist located
in Statesville, and Mr. Eric Hansen, engineer, who both spoke on the matter of nuclear waste sites.

Mr. Hansen spoke first in reference to this matter, followed by Dr. Pam Sholar, who gave her
extensive credentials as a cancer specialist and qualified her to speak on this matter. Mrs.
O'Brien spoke last on the matter.
The group requested the board to adopt an ordinance governing nuclear waste sites in Iredell
County. They requested that the waste be disposed of at the site of generation and that disposal be
in an above-ground facility rather than in a landfill-type situation. Above-ground allows better
monitoring, according to the spokesmen. The group also recommended that Iredell County ask North
Carolina get out of the compact for nuclear waste disposal.
Following their presentation, Vice Chairman Mills recognized Senator Bill Redman, who spoke
regarding the compact of southern states, which is comprised of Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia,
Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Vice Chairman Mills said the board would accept the entire packet of information and take
action on all or part of it within the next two meetings.

COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD: This is a new agenda item for the board. The county
manager plans to report at each meeting on activities from his office. He reported the following:
WATER AND SEWER EXTENSIONS, PROGRESS ON I-77 AND NC-150 PROJECT: Mr. Deal reported that formal
bids for this project would be opened on October 30, 1986, 2:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room,
A report was given from the engineering firm of Ragsdale Consultants, whose estimate on the total
cost of the job exceeds the allocated $1.1 million by $170,000. It is hoped that low bids will be
received.
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER LINE EXTENSION PROJECT: Mr. Deal reported that bids would be opened on
October 29, 1986, at the Statesville City Hall on this project. Between now and the time of the bid
opening, the staff will be working with Statesville to get all the details of the appropriation
worked out.
LOWRANCE HOSPITAL: Mr. Deal reported that Mr. Mills, Mrs. Stewart, and Mr. Pope, the committee
appointed by the board for the sale of the Lowrance Hospital, have met with Mr. Jimmie Houston and
discussed the proceeds from the sale of the Lowrance Hospital. They are trying to get some special
legislation to restrict the use of these funds for a period of years. This group has worked out
some information, and the county manager will be pulling this together and will bring it back,
hopefully, to the next meeting so the board can formally go on record and have it submitted to the
General Assembly.
STRATEGIC PLANNING: Mr. Deal reported on the Strategic Planning Process that has been discus-
sed with the board. This has been discussed with other boards, specifically Statesville, Moores-
ville, and the two chambers. Mr. Deal said, with the board's permission, he would like to have the
chairman call a meeting of the two mayors and the two chambers to finalize the plans for this study
and bring it back to the board.
DATES SET FOR CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARINGS: MOTION from Vice Chairman Mills to adjourn the
public hearing on the Request for an Amendment to Section 61.2 of the Iredell County Zoning
Ordinance to allow on-premise signs near interstate intersections to October 21, 1986, 7:30 p.m.,
Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2, Statesville, NC, and to adjourn the public hearing on
the matter of John R. Kindley, request for rezoning of property on Heron Point to November 18, 1986,

NUCLEAR WASTE SITE DISCUSSION: Chairman Hedrick recognized Dr. Kogut,
Dr. Marks, Dr. Sholar, and Dr. Rymuza, members of the Iredell County Medical
Society, who came before the board to discuss the medical society's opposition
to any type of nuclear waste facility in or around Iredel] County. €
Dr. Sholar presented a copy of a press release to the board and discussed
it with the board members. The release stated as follows:
The physicians of Iredell County adamantly oppose the location
of any type nuclear waste facility in or near Iredel? County. All
the scientific and technical information available demonstrates that
low level radioactive waste would pose the greatest threat to the
health and well being of our people and generations of Iredell
County residents for centuries.
The people of Iredel! County would be best served by North
Carolina's immediate withdrawal from the Southeast Compact
Commission. The following facts support this position:
678
1. We have no guarantee that other seven states in the compact will take their turn to accept nuclear waste over the next 140 years.
z. Low level radioactive wastes will be hazardous for thousands of years.
3. There is no man-made container that will remain intact for this length of time.
4, There is no place in Iredell County which will be geologically stable for the length of time for radioactive decay.
3. There is no fail-safe transport system for moving radioactive wastes to storage facilities.
6. Participation in Southeast Company Commission will require North Carolinians to store radioactive waste which would fill a trench twenty feet deep, fifty feet wide and six miles long, the nuclear wastes from seven other states. It would take North Carolina 320 years to accumulate this amount on our own.
7. Leakage and contamination of soil and ground water have already occurred in many commercial radioactive storage sites in the U. SS. We, therefore, are certain that contamination will occur in Iredell County should such a facility be placed there.
8. These toxic wastes will poison our ground water, our plant life, our animals and our people.
9. These radioactive wastes are clearly both deadly and muta- genic to all life. The following diseases are associated with radiation: leukemia, thyroid cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, and spontaneous abortions. Other health hazards are unknown at this time, and low level radioactive exposure may be a virtual time bomb of medical problems.
10. Iredell County being heavily invested in agriculture, indeed the largest dairy producing county in North Carolina, will ultimately produce contaminated agricultural products. This will both poison innocent people and ruin our local farm economy, which is older than nuclear power.
We, the Iredell County Medical Society, in keeping with our oath to serve the health needs of mankind, resolve to work to keep Iredell County pollution free and a safe environment. We strongly oppose the location of a low level radioactive waste site in Iredell] County.
The four doctors each spoke in opposition to locating a nuclear waste dump site in Iredell] County and stressed their desire for the state to get out of the compact of southern states.
It was brought to the attention of all present that the county attorney had prepared a draft nuclear waste site ordinance which he presented to the board at this time. The county manager recommended if the board wants to move this business along, that they introduce the ordinance this evening and set a date for a public hearing.
Ms. Ellen O'Brien spoke in opposition to the nuclear waste site also. She said the Alexander County has hired a lobbyist to work with the Waste Management Board in Raleigh. The first site selection committee meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, October 22, 1986, in Marion, NC. Commissioner Crosswhite asked Ms. O'Brien to contact the County Manager after the meeting and let him know what happens at this Marion meeting.
Another person (name not given) spoke about the containers that will be used for the nuclear waste, saying they were not safe.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to introduce the proposed Nuclear Waste Site Regulation Ordinance as prepared by the County Attorney and call for a public hearing on November 4, 1986, 7:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2, Statesville, NC, for the purpose of hearing comments for and against the proposed ordinance.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Chairman Hedrick asked the staff to contact Dr. McCormick and ask him to be present at this meeting if possible.
SUBDIVISION PLAT - WINDFOREST SUBDIVISION: Mr. Jerry Lundy stated this matter was withdrawn from the agenda at the request of the developer.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO IREDELL COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 61.2, TO ALLOW ON-PREMISE SIGNS AT INTERSTATE INTERSECTIONS: MOTION from Commissioner Mills to adjourn the meeting to public hearing for the purpose of hearing proposals from the County Attorney regarding proposed amendment to Iredell County Zoning Ordinance, Section 61.2, to allow On-premise signs at interstate
679
intersections.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, distributed to the board members copies of the Iredell County
Zoning Ordinance Section 61.2 as presently written and proposed changes, proposals being section
61.25 which modifies the present Section 61.2, Special Sign Regulations, and a modification of
Section 90 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance by adding a Section 90.2.
Mr. Pope stated the board had advertised to consider an amendment to section 61.2 which would
allow signs 80' to be located in Iredell County. The Section 61.25 is an amendment to Section 61.2
which allows signs not exceeding 80' in length advertising automotive service, filling stations,
restaurants or places or lodging within a 600' radius of the centerline of the intersection grade of
an interstate highway. It limits the display on the sign to the trade name and logo of the product.
This approach allows signs up to 80' at every intersection on interstate highways provided the
advertisement is restaurants, motels, service stations, and automotive repair facilities.
Another approach is the 90.2 approach, which allows special condition permits. It allows more
selectivity of who gets a sign. It doesn't necessarily allow one at every interchatgée, adit
imposes more bureaucratic process on the applicant. This approach would be to go through the
planning board, the board of adjustment, and ifally to the board of commi’ssidners.” |
Mr. Lundy says these are the only two legal methods that are available. The first method would
potentially allow the erection of some 75, to. 100 signs of that type in Iredell County. The second
one would depend on factors that would be found by the planning board‘and the board of’ adjustment.
Mr. Lundy also said that the board could act on’ the Section’ 61.25 approach ‘bécause the’ adver-
tisement listed an amendment to Section 61.2. j Se Cerne ae
Commissioner Crosswhite said she felt more comfortable with the second version, which was more
restrictive. (90.2). She thought this gave a supervised variance.
Mr. Lundy said the second verion was written to go in a Highway Business district. Unless an
exception is made, this would also affect four or five other districts due to the cumulative nature
of the zoning ordinance.
Chairman Hedrick asked if the board would be discriminating against businesses that are not in
this category that might have a need for a 80' high sign. If so, is there any consideration for
including those businesses that are outside this category.
Chairman Hedrick said the logo signs that will be available on the interstate highways through
the N. C. Department of Transportation restrict the use to the four mentioned categories. He
thought there would be some businesses that would be unable to get signs beyond what is available
now.
Mr. Pope said if the board adopts the 61.25 proposal, the people could erect the sign on
Wednesday. If the 90.2 approach is adopted, the people would have to apply for a special use permit
from the board of adjustment. Before this can be done, the board must advertise a change to Section
90.
Mrs. Crosswhite restated her position as favoring the Section 90.2 approach. Mr. Lundy said he
thought the board should be aware of the time frame involved, i.e, the December planning board
meeting, January commissioners’ meeting, back to the. planning board and then the board of adjust-
ment. e" =
_— The board and staff discussed the graded intersections and primary separated highways and said
this change in the zoning ordinance would also apply to them. Mr. Lundy said there were probably
one or two in the county and named 150 bypass and 21 in the Mooresville area.
Chairman Hedrick asked for additional questions. There were no additional comments from the
board or the public.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn the public hearing to reconvene to regular session.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
ACTION ON PUBLIC HEARING MATTER: Chairman Hedrick set forth the options on the public hearing
matter, which are:
(1) Not do anything;
(2) Amend Section 61.2 to add 61.25 (with or without technical changes);
(3) Call for a public hearing to consider adding Section 90.2, which
requires remanding to the planning board for recommendation.
Commissioner Murdock inquired of Mr. Glover if they had wished this matter held over until the
next meeting so that Mr. Glover's attorney would have an opportunity ‘to speak. “Mr. GloVer ‘said that
it would not be necessary to do so.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite that the board remand this matter back to the planning
board for consideration of adding a Section 90,2 to the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance.
A schedule of times for meeting was outlined by Mr. Lundy, which are:
dB per 4. .' gnimeiterey 4:3 ae
680
It would be on the December planning board agenda.
It would be on the January county commissioners’ meeting.
If this is adopted, then it will be returned to the planning board
(February meeting).
(4) Final action would be by the board of adjustment (mid February).
( ( ( wn ~~ VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0; Abstaining - 1 (Hedrick).
Chairman Hedrick said he would like to see the planning board allowing business other than the
category mentioned.
The Clerk to the Board asked for clarification of the motion that was presented by Commissioner
Crosswhite. After further discussion by the board, the following action was taken:
SUBSTITUTE MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners
send this matter back to the planning board and ask them to review the question of highway signs
along grade intersections and separated primary roads in properly zoned Highway-Business Districts.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0; Abstaining - 1 (Hedrick).
REQUEST FOR CHANGE TO ROAD SIGN AT I-77 AND EXIT #45: Chairman Hedrick introduced this. matter
to the board and said it was self-explanatory. The request is for changing the road sign to add
"Amity Hill Road" to the presently existing sign which says "Troutman/Barium Springs Exit." Mr. Bob
Jenkins of the Department of Secondary Roads in Shelby has been contacted and has advised that if
the board of commissioners wished to add Amity Hill Road to this sign, a letter from the board of
commissioners should be written to Mr. Ray Spangler in Shelby requesting such a change.
Commissioner Murdock inquired if a letter could be written to the Shelby Office requesting that
Amity Hill Road be added to the Troutman/Barium Springs sign now in existence.
MOTION from Commissioner Mills that a letter be written to the Department of Secondary Roads
making this request.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
REQUEST FROM THE TOWN OF TROUTMAN FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR WATER NEEDS: Mr. Jim Troutman,
Town of Troutman manager, came before the board to discuss Troutman's request to the County for
financial assistance for the purpose of constructing a pumping station in connection with the
connection of Troutman's water system to the City of Statesville’s water system.
Mr. Troutman said they had awarded a bid in the amount of $56,000 and are asking the County to
consider assisting Troutman with part of the County's State water and sewer funds. He said the
project is planned to be completed within 90 days from the date of awarding the contract.
Chairman Hedrick said he would like to sée how this meshes with the other funding requests and
hopes to have an answer by the November 4th meeting.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the problem with the iron in the water that Troutman has
been experiencing in some sections. Mr. Troutman answered her question, saying they had put an iron
filter control on the system.
APPOINTMENTS TO THE DOMICILIARY HOME COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Two terms expire on the
Domiciliary Home Community Advisory Committee. These are Mrs. Charles Gates and Mrs. Martha Web-
ster. Both are eligible to serve additional terms.- :
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to reappoint Mrs. Martha Webster for a three-year term,
beginning December 4, 1986 and expiring December 3, 1989, and to reappoint Mrs. Charles Gates for a
three-year term, beginning December 1, 1986 and expiring November 30, 1989.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF STATESVILLE REGARDING THE HOTEL/MOTEL TAX: Mr. Wayne Deal, County
Manager, presented the proposed contract that was drawn by the County Attorney. Mr. Deal said the
City Council had reviewed this contract at the board meeting on Monday, October 20, 1986, and had
made some changes on Item 6. He said the date was effective November 1, 1986. He said if the board
had no problems with the way the City Council had amended, it was ready for adoption. :
Commissioner Crosswhite said she would like to allow Mr. Pope to meet with the City Attorney to
work out the changes made by the City Council. Commissioner Crosswhite said she would like to
suggest that the amount of funds to be spent on tourism would not to exceed 124%.
Commissioner Stewart inquired about how the 123% amount to be spent to tourism was established,
County Attorney Pope said he did not see that there is any basic disagreement between the City
and the County. He believes the City and County have a consensus, generally. He will work with the
City Attorney to make the changes, but he would like for the county commissioners to give final
approval.
It was decided that the board would give the two attorneys time to draw the contract, and the a
board would have a brief meeting of the board prior to November 1st to. approve the contract in its
final form. It was suggested that this may be a joint meeting of the two boards.

PUBLIC HEARING: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to return to Public Hearing regarding the adver-

Radioactive Waste Management Ordinance."
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
EO) 3
Mr. Hedrick summarized the action the board has taken in reference to this proposed ordinance
to date. The board has heard citizens discuss hazardous waste and low-level radioactive waste in
two previous meetings and took action on October 21, 1986 to call for a public hearing to be held at
the November 4, 1986 meeting.
Mr. Hedrick then introduced Dr. Earl Mac Cormac, Science Advisor to Governor Martin and Execu-
tive Director of the North Carolina Board of Science and Technology.
DR. MAC CORMAC: The problems of low-level radioactive waste arise because we have a technologi-
cal society which produces very desirable products, such as medical products, such as electricity,
such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, all of which use radioactivity and have waste products that go with
them.
Let me also set at rest one thing: It's very difficult for anyone to understand the difference
in low-level radioactivity and high-level radioactivity. If you did not have radioactivity in your
environment as a by-product or as a co-product of sunlight, for example, cosmic rays, soil, water,
we could not live. An environment without it would not be possible for life. Everyone in this room
gets at least 100 to 200 milograms per year, and we don't have genetic affects and we don't die.
One of the basic questions, and there's a lot of arguments among scientists, is how much is too
much. We know at the other end with nuclear power fuel rods, they are highly radioactive and very
dangerous and have to buried for up to 40,000 years.
The debate comes in terms of long term effects of low-level radiation, what do we know about
it? We don't know a lot. We know that mankind has had a low-level radiation from all of his career
and has survived it. How much is too much? We don't know. How many of you smoke? Does anybody
smoke here, or are we all reformed? If you smoke one pack of cigarettes a day for 365 days, I am
told by studies that you would have 8,000 milograms, which is a very high amount, 8 grams of
radioactivity from the tobacco, which passed through the food chain. It's a very high amount
relative to the 200 that you get. Etc., Otc.
A lot of products that you have, especially granite (What are the walls made of?) are radioac-
tive. In fact the Governor of North Carolina, Jim Martin, sits in a granite walled building, the
Capitol, and probably receives relatively high doseages relative to something else.
Some of the things that are radioactive are very mildly radioactive, like the underwear, the
clothing of power plant workers. Some of them are more radioactive like some of the radio
woerne----- that are used in medicine. Some are even more, and those are some of the residues and
ion exchanges in the nuclear power process. They are classified as "A", "B", and "C."
The reason that we have the issue of a compact versus North Carolina going it alone is that a
U. S. Supreme Court Case in 1978 called City of Philadelphia versus New Jersey, was an argument
about the City of Philadelphia that was taking solid waste and putting it in a disposal site in New
Jersey. The New Jersey Health Authorities thought it wasn't being done right, so they objected to
it and stopped Philadelphia from doing it. Philadelphia sued New Jersey for that, the Health
Department of the State of New Jersey, and it went to the U. S. Supreme Court. The U. S. Supreme
Court held in favor of the City of Philadelphia and argued very strongly that a waste disposal site,
believe it or not, is a natural resource, and no state, under the commerce laws of the Constitution,
may prohibit other states from entry to that site.
We have the Attorney General's opinion that would apply to North Carolina on low-level radioac-
tive waste (There are three states that are trying to go it alone.) which suggests that if North
Carolina handles only its own waste, it would be liable to the waste of 50 other states. Hence e
compacts were dreamed up by, I don't know if they were lawyers, Bill, or who they were, but somebody
in Washington, I think the National Governors Association staff dreamed up the idea of a compact.
A compact is a group of states who enacts identical legislation and then has that legislation
bound by Congress of the U. S., which indeed happened with the Southeast Compact Commission. That
is (not clear) to avoid the liability of a common clause of the Constitution and hence the eight
states will be able to prohibit waste from other states. As a new eight-month old official, when I
am faced with a choice of eight states versus the nossibility of 50 states, then I would choose the
eight states over the liability of the 50.
The Sierra Club argues in a very nice paper that there's a difference in a state that operates
regulation and a state that operates as a market for (not clear). There's another case Reeds vs.
State, which is a South Dakota Case, 1980, U. S. Supreme Court, in which South Dakota owned a cement
plant. It sold cement at lower prices to its citizens than it sold it to North Dakota and Iowa and
other states. The Supreme Court upheld their right to do that because, they said, the state was
operating in a market capacity. They are operating in « market capacity and not in a regulatory
nn "Se eae ie asa Peet a.
685
capacity. Hence, the argument is that North Carolina environmentalists might be able to operate as
a market participant in a low-level site for its own waste produced by its own power plants, its own
hospitals, its own Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola bottling plants. Hence, they went through a compact
commission which was set up in the prior administration in 1980, 81, 83, ratified by Congress in
1985, went through a long elaborate procedure in which they picked one state to be host state and
that is North Carolina. That's where we are now.
Now, the situation is that the General Assembly has to accept this or not. It is not the
Governor who does it. In this state, you know, the Governor does not have a veto; the General
Assembly put us into the compact; the General Assembly can take us out of the compact. The question
is, What should they do? Which argument will be believed? The general feeling is that they will
probably stay in the compact, but we're not sure of that, it's up to them.
If they pull it out of the compact, then we will still have to site our own site. Now if we do
that, we may be liable to the wastes of the other 50 states. We will also have a surcharge on wastes
that is produced in this state that is sent to Barnwell, etc., until we have our site produced.
Governor Martin will recommend to the General Assembly that we stay in the compact with two
provisos, one proviso being that the other seven states and North Carolina amend their compact
legislation and have it approved by Congress such that no other state may withdraw from the compact
after January 1, 1995. Why? So that other states cannot use us for 19 years and then pull out at
15 years. He wants it really binding.
The second proviso is that there be adequate tariffs from this. Let me just suggest to you
that there are tariffs in effect now. The average cost of a cubic foot of low-level radioactive
waste received in Barnwell is $44 per cubic foot. A million cubic feet are received a year. That
produces a revenue of $44 million a year, and there are some benefits. They have 250 employees, a
$12 million payroll. They pay to South Carolina for the license $170,000 each year. They pay to
Barnwell County $440,000 in special license tax. They pay in taxes $65,000. Another $70,000 for
vehicle taxes, and the best of all, they pay $428 million as a surcharge to South Carolina, which is
used for education.
Governor Martin believes that if indeed we do stay in the compact, and if indeed we can set up
a --e---- schedule, we should use the best technology to prevent any liquids and any water soluable
products from getting into the soil and that we should have an above-ground retrievable facility so
that the radioactivity will decay over the years. By the way 90% of the decay is in 100 years, and
almost 100%, 99.something by 300 years. This is not high-level waste. High-level waste has to be
stored for up to 40,000 years. There are trace elements that have longer half-lives, but they are
in tiny amounts.
In any event, the Governor is concerned that (1) we have adequate technology that can handle
this in such a way that we don't have problems of leakage and of (not clear) into the ground water.
Secondly, he's concerned that there be sufficient revenue to compensate whoever takes this in North
Carolina. That is, for the locality and not the state. We're talking in the range of $3 to $5
million which would go into economic development. Now, that's the background. Where are we now?
I am in charged of what is called the Special Inter-Disciplinary Committee on Low-Level
Radioacive Waste, that includes representatives of various parts of the government. We have no
siting procedures; we have no legislation; we do not intend to follow the report that listed the 36
counties, including Alexander County, Iredell County, Anson, etc., as potential sites available,
because they did not have in mind the kind of technology we do, and we do not think it is fair to do
so. We have no legislation on the books. This committee is charged with writing the legislation
that will enable us to have siting procedures.
I am going to give you some of my own beliefs about siting procedure. My
own beliefs are the following:
1. You must start with education. We are going to make a videotape of what is low-level
radiation, how does one dispose of it, what are the hazards, and I could quickly say that it is not
as hazardous as some people claim when they compare it with high-level radiation. You all know that
Governor Martin opposed the high-level radioactive waste site in North Carolina because he thinks it
should be far away from population centers. He is not concerned as a scientist with having a low-
level site in North Carolina because he believes that it is possible through technology to safely
store it and with large amounts of economic benefit to whoever takes it.
2. We want input from local officials. I am writing a letter to all the chairs of all the
county commissioners that will go out on Wednesday, the day after the election, that is tomorrow, so
that it did not get confused by the partisan faces. And we will say to them where we are in our
procedures. We will also say that we intend to have local input from the Association of County
Commissioners and the League of Municipalities. Hopefully we will be in a situation in two years
after the legislation is passed, after the issue of staying in the compact is settled, after a
variety of things is done, such that we will have one or two counties or municipalities or whatever
they are in the state volunteer for the site. I talked to one of the chairmen of a Sandhills
County, whose budget is $14 million, and I said would you be willing to consider something at the
range for $5 million for twenty years, that's a hundred million dollars right now. He knew exactly
what I was talking about. He can't say that in public. Local people have to deal with issues of
compensation, a whole series of important issues about +t,
One of the interesting things is that everybody thinks that it should be in everybody else's
backyard. Let's take one scenario. Suppose North Carolina pulls out of the compact. Suppose we
have to go it alone. The State will have to site a site without the $5 million, without the
compensation, because it is not there. The volume is not there to produce it. Now, you look at a
fa ae ited. OR nt sea ; ror a ee

variety of alternatives; no one is a desirable one. Politically, the Governor and I believe it
will be very desirable to treat our own waste even if there are no economic benefits. But then you
still come back to where do you site it? Where is it going to be put? How do you make that
decision? What's the fairest way to do that? Let me say to you if you don't know it the Hazardous
Waste Treatment Commission of the State of North Carolina was created by the General Assembly in
1983 and has the power of eminent domain to locate a hazardous waste facility anywhere in this
state. Why? Because the Legislature understood the political game of each community yelling and
screaming with their legislators had to be overcome by choosing someone on a rational basis. Now
the question is, how do you do it? It is fairly impossible. How can you do it with as much benefit
and compensation as possible, and what is the least worst way out? So that is where we stand, Mr.
Chairman. We stand now having cited nothing, having no legislation on the books to site anything,
looking at writing legislation for the next General Assembly, having the General Assembly let us
stay in or out, and then going through a two-year procedure of trying to be fair and equitable in
siting.
I would be glad to answer questions afterwards. I know you have a series of speakers. They
may dispute what I've said; I don't think you can dispute what I've done.
Dr. Mac Cormac invited the audience to attend the Interdisciplinary Committee at the Dorothea
Dix Campus, Raleigh, Wednesday, November 12, 2:00.
He added that a geological survey may be done in 1987. It will probably cost $500,000.
$75,000 has been appropriated for the initial survey at this time.
Chairman Hedrick inquired about a timetable for site selection beginning and taking
approximately how long?
Dr. Mac Cormac said the whole procedure of drafting legislation, site selection, permitting,
and operation will take approximately six years at the best. By Federal law, it will have to be
available by January 1, 1992. That's the target date, so we're at the very beginning of our target.
JESS RILEY: You're entitled to know my background. I have Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry and
Physics from Northwestern University, a Master's Degree from the University of Chicago. I worked
for the Celanese Corporation for 37 years in Research and Development until I retired six years ago.
I am still a consultant for Celanese. The most recent two titles I have with Celanese are Senior
Research Associate and Staff Scientist. I incidentially did some work over a period of two years
with radiation. What I'm trying to do is to equip myself with information which, to the best of my
judgment, appears to valid given the situation with respect to low-level waste.
Mr. Riley gave a definition of low-level nuclear waste. I would not say that radiation is
benign. I'd say that we are here and operating in part because of radiation in the past, not in the
present, and in spite of radiation. There isn't much of it, but we can't avoid it. We live with
it. How do we live in spite of these? We live in spite of these because there are gene repair
mechanisms, and when a radioactive particle fouls up, ionizes the DNA, in a body cell, there are
specific enzymes in that cell that repair the break. And this is the thing that explains how come
some people can get a dose of radiation and not even get sick and other people will years later
develop cancer. What we're looking at is a lottery, the lottery involved in individual's gene
repair mechanism. If the mechanisms are working hard, you can take more radiation. If they're not
working too well, you may be in trouble with things just as they are. Take a look at the medical
textbooks and see the numbers of monsters (mal-formed fetuses) and stillbirths that occur. Some
reasonably large part of that is attributable to this unavoidable radiation. So I insist that it
isn't good for us. We can live with it if we've got good gene repair mechanisms we can live with it
better than if we don't. How many of you have got good gene repair mechanisms?
Now let's stake out where we are in terms of this low-level waste which includes everything,
including your spent reactors. While I'm saying reactors, let's put the radioactivity that is at ™
present, --------- . 97% of the -------- in North Carolina in 1985 came from nuclear power generation.
There's something called a half-life which characterizes radioactive maturity. That half-life can
vary from a few thousands of a second to something like ten trillion years. But the ones that
bother us are the ones that are in between. The things like ------- 137, which has a half-life of
30 years. That means when you start off with a pound of it, 30 years, you've got half a pound of
it. It's still pretty potent.
Remember now, we're describing the waste we're getting right now. When Three Mile Island, Unit
2, is recognized to be inoperable for the future and is decommissioned, to use the NRC's words for
it, somebody is going to catch that and it's going to be low-level waste. A very important thing to
bear in mind. Now who'll catch that? The Southeast Compact provides that a majority, that's 11 of C
16 commissions, can rule to accept waste from any other state provided that the host state's two
commissioners --------- . Oh, we hear about all this money that's kicking around, and we realize how
sensitive political people who are in charge are to liking to lay it out but not having to tax for
it, we have a real opportunity for getting waste from more than eight states. It will depend upon
what our commissioners veto.
MAC CORMAC: There is also a cap. Twenty years or 32 million cu. ft.
JESS RILEY: Well, on the other hand, by the time you've got 32 million cu. ft., you've really
got something on your hands. Here is the NRC definition of waste classifications. It recognizes
three categories:
A. The most modern
B. Ten times as potent
C. Different
tans (itn nice
687
D. Joker Category, unnamed
Let's talk a little more about this 97% --------- . Where does it come from? Mostly it comes
from leaking fuel rods in the reactor.
Another tning I'm unhappy with in this definition is there ------ with half-lives of 5,000 years
or more. It means that in a hundred years the 5,730 half-life Carbon 14, which is biologically
adjustable, which we really don't want any more of, will still be at a level of 99% of what was
originally put in, and after 500 years, it will still be at a level of 94% of what was put it. I
don't like that; I really don't like that. And that is just Carbon 14. We got ----99; we M----94;
we've got ------- 129.
0.K. If I don't like this, is there a solution to the problem? One more thing I should say,
that is there is a rather disingenuous description of many of these radioactive materials. And that
is you can have a material with a fairly short half-life decay and it doesn't make a stable product,
it makes a radioactive product. [t's bad, too. Also these lists don't show ----------
radioactive material that's produced by initial decay.
What do I think should be done? I opposed the licensing of the Oconee Plant and the McGuire
plant. They have been licensed. They are making their poisons right now. Well, what do I do? I
try to take the most painfully responsible position that I can with regard to the problem. I feel
that the best solution for these materials is to have surface monitored, maintained storage for
Ss ieetateteted and everything with a half-life short of a ----------, which would not produce
The large volume material which Earl hasn't told us about, things like plastic booties, whites,
uniforms, wiping cloths, mops, what not, are combustible. When it is burned the volume that we end
up with can be as little as .7% of the volume that you started out with. That's very important
because at present estimated prices for mile deep mined repositories, a cubic foot of space will
cost about $2,000. And when you translate that to the volumes that Earl has been describing it
turns out on the average electric bill of $100 a year. I don't think anybody is going to greet that
with enthusiasm, but if you can incinerate the stuff and reduce the volume to 1% of that, then we
are talking about $1 a year, and I don't think anybody is going to be too unhappy about that. And I
think that's the way to go. But we're not there; we're very far from it. I think our solution
should be in the interim to let this stop, be left on the surface. The power plant also has large
areas and can reasonably contain it on its property and many have over a fairly long period of time,
I feel that in the interim it should stay there where it is relatively safe and being handled by
people who have experience in radioactive materials. In the meantime I really think it is our
obligation and our duty to go to Congress, but I don't think the NRC is going to rewrite these
classifications, and sell our politicans on the idea of a competent definition of radioactive waste.
But the long time result, if we can incinerate all the combustible stuff and if it's a used reactor
which is non-combustible that we also stash it in a terminal repository aboveground.
HEDRICK: We will direct our comments toward the proposed ordinance. Speakers are limited to
three minutes.
MAC CORMAC: I think incineration is far better than above-ground retrievable. However, as
Jess points out, we are limited by Federal and State Statutes, and I have to work within those. I'm
not passing the buck. I'm a new Bureaucrat who lives within the law.
HEDRICK: I think it is a point well made that we are all hoping, whatever happens to us, that
it be done in the safest possible manner, and the manner of disposing of this waste is going to have
to be decided at the Legislative Level, and we're going to put our confidence in Jess to plead our
cause appropriately and adequately at the proper forum. I guess that would be at the next meeting
on November 12th.
MAC CORMAC: Please give me the names and the addresses, and I will put you on the mailing
list.
HEDRICK: Please give the names to our clerk, and we will see that you get copies of them.
ERIC HANSEN: ( With a local business firm.) I am with the coalition against radioactive
environment. Addressed a few of Mr. Mac Cormac's remarks. Using his term, “adequate technology”.
Our only problem is in determining what adequate technology is. It is certainly Duke Power's desire
to have a landfill site. Don't agree with that; think it should be an above-ground, monitored,
retrievable facility would be the best thing. The Canadians use these and do have better luck than
we do. €
Have heard a lot about Barnwell, SC tonight; have not heard about Maxi Flats, Ky, where they
have pumped miilions of gallons of ------- water out of the trenches. Neither have we heard about
Sheffield, IL where they have a radioactive plume extending 2,500’ per year into the water table.
We have also not heard about -------- , NY, where plutonium, which is supposed to be high-level, has
been found in the streams. These are just a few of the other examples of landfill sites, and it is
for that reason that we do not agree with them.
We are also talking about a problem that is not going to occur immediately but something that
is going to happen over a very long term. We are talking about monitoring this facility for perhaps
100 years. One hundred years, as you heard by Jess Riley's account, is entirely insufficient for
the term of radioactivity for most of these elements. I don't think that's a good policy right
there at all.

We also heard about $5 million possible income to the county. That does not mention that some
of these other places are stuck with clean-up bills in excess of $100 million. The clean-up funds
are bankrupt and the stuff still leaks, is totally out of control, and nobody is doing anything to
stop it. It's in court, and some places like Sheffield, IL, where there is a $99 million suit
pending against the Ecology System, Inc., if they got the money today, it probably would not be
sufficient to clean it up. We don't want to see something like that in NC.
We are talking about 32 million cubic feet. That's just the waste alone, not counting the
containers. It's a trench 20' wide, 50' deep, and over six miles long. I don't think that's a
small amount of waste. We are also talking about something that will take North Carolina over 300
years to produce on her own. I think it's really unfair. We are probably one of the only two
states that are going to get all these tremendous wastes from the other eight states, since in all
probability, and Dr. Mac Cormac does agree with me, that 40 to 50 years from now we are probably
going to have fusion power, if we have any time of nuclear power at all. Fusion power does not
generate the kind of ------ . This means that by that time nobody else will be having to store the
waste and they will get off scot free where we will have taken all theirs. So anyway I just don't
think that $5 million is enough to pay for our health and our future safety, not to mention that of
our children. I would like to see this kept on-site where it is generated, and make the people
there more responsible. If they can see -------- and they are aware all the time of the amount of
waste that is going in that thing, they're going to do their best to try to limit their production
of nuclear waste.
HEDRICK: This proposed ordinance that we are considering deals very differently with some of
the things that have been given by Dr. Mac Cormac to the extent of the amounts of charges and the
type of storage, etc. Keep to the purpose of our meeting, which is to have public input on the
ordinance that we are considering and not use it to express your feelings, because your feelings are
not new and not different than our feelings with regard to improperly stored or improperly monitored
radioactive materials. We are making a good faith effort in trying to come up with something that
all of us can live with.
I am going to preface my remarks to the remaining speakers with (1) have you read the proposed
ordinance, and (2) to which particular sections are you speaking to so we will be able to follow it
with you.
DR. PAM SHOLAR: Has read the ordinance. I want to say publicly that I commend you for
considering this ordinance. The comments that I would make would be medical because that's my area
of expertise. I'm an Onocologist, a cancer doctor in town. And if you do not want me to make those
statements, I just want to publicly say yes I agree with the ordinance. I do have some unusual
information about some of the radioactivity and cancer that may be beneficial to you.
I would like to say that in my work the causes of cancer are not all known at this time. We
have a problem identifying the causes because of the 20 to 30 year lag time at the time they are
exposed and the time that these malagnancies develop. We have a transit population and it's very
difficult to pin it down. I would say two things, one about the radio isotopes being picked up on a
Geiger counter. That are a number of radio isotopes that are not picked up on a Geiger counter. A
jug of ------ could sit in a room all day long and not hurt you, but if you get it in the ground
water and drinking water, the experience at Oak Ridge showed that ------- gets in the DNA, gets out
of DNA. I don't believe there have been experiences done showing what happened when you are quanti-
tively exposed to ------- in the ground water.
I would also like to say that radiation that we thought was safe at the time it was given, this
goes back 20 to 30 years at the time people were being treated for acne with radiation and treatment
of the sinus glands with radiation, these people now have an increase incidence of thyroid cancer,
As far as the radioactivity in the tobacco and cigarettes, this is felt to be due to the radioactive
------ , which is in American tobacco because of high phosphate fertilizers used to grow it.
That concludes what I want to say. I appreciate your considering the ordinance so that the
people of Iredell County can take care of themselves.
ELLEN O'BRIEN: I want to commend you and hope that you vote on the ordinance and accept. I
would like for us to go one step further in putting forth the resolution that I proposed, I gave
examples of it that Alexander and Wilkes had, urging that you put forth a resolution before the
General Assembly. to (1) withdraw from the Compact; (2) require that the large generators of this
waste be made pay for it; (3) to store it on their own property and to provide storage for the small
generators (medical).
Discussed decommissioning nuclear powers plants in the future. <
MAC CORMAC: We computed the same thing. We were concerned about that. The site opens in 1992
and closes in 2012?
O'BRIEN: The point is we are talking averages of the life of a nuclear reactor. A lot of them
don't make it 30 years.
MAC CORMAC: The expected life; they will last longer.
O'BRIEN: That's why I am urging you to withdraw from the compact. If they are decommissioned,
then we are going to get them.
HEDRICK: Back to the point of our being here. These fears and hopes of all of us need to be
directed toward the Legislature, which will be the body that will be charged with the decision to
either stay in or get out of the compact. I don't see that as a decision that the County can make.
ie
689
Let's get back to the point.
O'BRIEN: I'm just referring to the resolution also. A step further.
HEDRICK: Let the Clerk have a copy of the resolution.
DR. KOGUT: I moved here from Pennsylvania, having been in the proximity of Three Mile Island,
naving been near the chemical dumps that they have dumped into New Jersey from Philadelphia in 1978,
watching the chemical dumps surrounding the Delaware River. We have a problem, the problem is we
are generating a product that nobody wants. Nobody wants it in their backyard. I moved down here
not because my parents have lived here for 300 years, but because this is a nice place to live.
It's a wonderful place to live. If we bring a nuclear dump into this area, it's not such a nice
place to live. It will be like Times Beach, or the other place near Niagara Falls or like the
ground water problems they have in New Jersey.
It is the duty of our county commissioners to keep this as a wonderful place to live for the
people here, for the children of the commissioners and of the population. The way they can do that
is to tell the Legislature that this dump is not to come to Iredell County or the surrounding
counties. If it is a political process to get this thing out of the state or get it to the west,
our Governor should have enough connections with the President to tell him to move it to some other state. That's a political problem.
It is the duty of this ordinance to prevent this from coming to this county to keep this a
wonderful place to live. Medically, there is no safe level of radiation. We live with radiation;
we live with it every day. We will not expose women unnecessarily to radiation for X-rays when they
are pregnant. There are certainly reasons why we do not. Let's try to keep it as minimal as
possible, especially to keep it out of areas where we have high density population. Iredell County
and this state are becoming a very dense population area. It's a nice place to live. Let's keep it nice.
DR. MARKS: I appreciate the efforts of the county commissioners in hopefully opposing the
location of a nuclear waste facility here in Iredell] County. I have no political ambitions. I am
not a member of the Sierra Club or of any political party. I come to you tonight as a concerned
citizen, as a worried parent, and as a busy doctor. I see more than enough cancer, and I've seen
plenty of cancer here in the last 74 years. I certainly don't feel that we need more radiation in
our environment to produce more business for us. I think there's too many unknowns in this issue.
There's too many unknowns in the technology and too many unknowns in the biological effects of
radiation. I think most of what I would like to say has already been said regarding the safety of
our community. I believe this is the utmost concern to myself as a physician, and I sure hope that
the county commissioners will protect us from further problems with nuclear waste.
JANET HOYLE: I have worked ------- - We are a grass roots environmental organization made up
of ordinary citizens. We have studied high and low levels of wastes ------- for almost two years. I
have some specific suggestions about the ordinance. I would like to commend the commissioners of
Iredell County for becoming involved in the process.
Mrs. Hoyle made some suggestions to change the proposed ordinance.
Also I think it might be a possibility for you to discuss having a local option where a
community county-level veto as a part of the ordinance. As you all know a county veto
ween nnn n nee e ee - But a community-level veto is a part of other ordinances that have been passed,
including Mitchell County, which was past earlier this year. I think that that might be something
you might want to consider including the Iredell ordinance. A community-level veto provides a way
of protection. It also provides a statement of concerns of the county leaders.
Again, I commend you for your involvement. I hope you will discuss other issues such as
whether or not North Carolina should stay in the Southeastern Compact and that you will consider
passing resolutions and participating in the debate of the upcoming propesed rules that the radia-
tion protection section, there will be public hearings, and right now there are plans for only one
public hearing. One thing that counties can do, I think, is ask the State for more public hearings.
MAC CORMAC: There have been five already, this is the sixth.
JANET HOYLE: Those were public meetings. The Regulation Protection Section at this time plans
only one official public hearing after a 30-day comment. So if enough people across the state ask
for more community involvement, you might have an opportunity to have larger number of public
hearings.
HEDRICK: I am going to ask Dr. Mac Cormac to make specific note in his mind that of all these
comments, especially those with regard to seeing, and I am sure that his department will see that
there are more public hearings in a better educational process informing the public of what's going
on and what the next is going to be.
MAC CORMAC: Let me clarify. There have been six public meetings, one public hearing. They
were held in Charlotte, Asheville, Research Triangle, Wilmington, and the other two allude me at
this hour. Those have been held. There will be one in Charlotte. Those have been held across the
state, all regions. Those are public meetings. There is one public hearing. .pn14
HOYLE: However, when the final rules are released by the North Carolina Regulation Protection
Section, those will be the rules that actually apply to the facility, and at present there are plans
for a 30-day written public comment and then one public hearing held in Raleigh.

MAC CORMAC: May I clarify that? Those that pertain to the permitting process now on the books
that allowed US Ecology apply for an incinerator at Bladen County. Those do not pertain to the
low-level radioactive waste ----- proposed by the Southeast Compact. There will be an entire review
of that; it will take place within a year or 15 months.
There is a statute on the books that allows any vendor to come into North Carolina to apply for
a license to dispose of low-level radioactive waste materials. That's what US Ecology applied for
in Bladen County, and it was turned down by NRCD. So that's what those hearings were on; those were
not on what we've been talking about tonight.
QUESTION.
MAC CORMAC: First we have to find out if we're in the compact or are we out. How are we going
to dispose of it? I'd love to have incinerator as Jess suggests. I think Jess is on the right
track on that, but I can't answer those questions; the legislature has to answer those questions.
QUESTION: Do mean whether we are in the compact or not?
MAC CORMAC: I have no idea. The Legislature meets on February 9th, and it adjourns sometime in
werere- . I presume sometime during that period they will make a decision. If they don't make a
decision, we are in de facto. The only decision they can make is to pull us out. You understand
that? We are now in because they put us in. There is a bill the Joe Maverettic Bill, to withdraw,
which has been considered by the Joint -------- , chaired Lewis Miller and Joe Johnson, Senator
Johnson and Representative Miller.
ARNOLD SOUTHER: I have not read the resolution (sic) of the county. I have just heard that
there's a $5 million fee. I hate to see it come to Iredell] County. I'm not concerned about me, but
I'm concerned about generations to come.
These hearings are not advertised very clearly. He thinks they should be headlines when they
are important issues such as these.
I have talked to one congressman and one state legislator, and they are very ignorant on this
thing. They all think there is a few booties and clothes going in this thing. I've had them tell
me that I didn't know what I was talking about when I told them some of this stuff that was going in
this nuclear waste had 5,000 year life. I think that information should be supplied to all our
state legislators in plain terms, especially to our state legislators and also to our congressmen,
because they don't know either.
MAC CORMAC: May I clarify that? Jess Riley's point said that the definition was wrong and
some of those may go in there. Presently almost none do with 5,000 year half-lives. You're
absolutely right. We should rewrite the legislation so that can't happen. You're also right, sir,
that I should do as good a job as I can to educate Congressmen and State Senators, etc. We're going
to produce a video-tape. The video-tape is not going to be a snow job; it's going to say what
actually is going on. Mr. Hedrick is also right. You ought to exert pressure and Jess ought to,
too, to get these specs written in such a way that the low-level things don't contain 5,000 year
half-lives. They presently don't, but they could. That's his point that he makes strongly. They
don't now, but the could. The radiation protection rule is written so that they don't. So it isn't
the case that they do now, but they could. Again, we need more communication of these issues and
more actual discussion.
QUESTION. (Not clear)
MAC CORMAC: Responds.
QUESTION. (Not clear)
MAC CORMAC: Again, let me come back and say to you, that's where we should change the regula-
tions; that's where we should be more specific. Again, all the input you are giving me is very
desirable from that respect.
You realize I am not a legislator; I'm the Governor's aid. I will do everything in my power to
make it safe, to get rid of the dangerous stuff. I'd love to go Jess Riley's route and incincerate.
I wrote him a letter to that effect. I read the letter the Governor wrote to him. We looked at it
together. We respect his position. But there are counter---forces among the legislators, also.
It is the democratic process. They write the legislation. I try to tell them how to write it; Jess
tries to tell them how to write it; you try to tell them how to write it; and they often comprise.
We all know that. On some issues we ought not to compromise certain things. I agree with you on
the 5,000 year half-life. I happen to agree personally. I think that's right, and as a government
official, I'll do everything I can to get it changed.
SOUTHER: One thing I want to say. If the legislators have to read massive amounts of mate-
rials, so their aids do it, so this thing ought to be simplified on how much dangerous stuff goes
into it, and how much stuff that is not dangerous goes into it.
MAC CORMAC: We agree. The Governor and I agree. But remember, this Governor has no veto, and
this Governor and I, he's a Republican and I'm a Democrat. We both are non-partisan on the issue.
(Not clear.) We go to the General Assembly; we try to get them to write the enabling legislation.
Going to Congress is even more difficult, and going to NRC, as Jess well knows, is well nigh
impossible.
HEDRICK: The point we're trying to make, obviously, is that it behooves us all to make sure
691
that our legislators do understand by our verbalizing to them that which they may not be able to
read and interpret on their own. And vote against them if they don't do it like you want it.
H. C. NICHOLSON: I'm a concerned citizen. This lady right here brought up an issue about the
decommission on these power plants. I'm not sure that everyone knows (not clear). North Carolina
is going to accept this waste for the next twenty years, it appears that we alone will absorb most
of the waste ----- . The other states are going to bring it in here and they're more likely to get
out of it by ----. (Not clear). I would like for the commissioners to bear in mind that the next
twenty years to accept waste when these other states might not be having to accept that much.
CHAIRMAN: That concludes the comments by the audience.
I thank you very much for inviting me, Mr. Chairman, and I certainly thank the citizens for
giving me the input that I can take back to the Governor and the radiation protection staff and
others and invite you to come to Raleigh at any time, to come to my office, you have my address, to
come to meetings. How to get the newspapers to put bold headlines on any meeting unless it is going
to be a controversy is very difficult.
CHAIRMAN: We'll be glad to send a copy of our minutes to the Doctor's office.
DWIGHT BURKS: Inquired about the $10 million license fee, is this to scare people off? If we
are going to scare them off, throw something at them.
CHAIRMAN: If you will read this volume (ordinance), that is one of many, many things that are
in there.
It is the feeling of the board, as I have interpreted, that
We do not want, under any condition, a low-level waste site in Iredell County; however, if
powers beyond our control deem it necessary to put it here against our will or against the next
board's will, then if it must be and if any ordinance will prevail, then we want to have an ordi-
nance in place that will be absolutely the toughest thing to comply you ever saw. But bear in mind
at the same time that the ordinance that we might adopt, if we adopt this or any modified version of
it, is absolutely up to the Courts as to whether its value has any weight or not. It is some
people's contention that the State has preemptive rights and the power of eminent domain. It is
other people's opinion that it does not. So it may be in place and have to be argued in some Court
of Law for some period of time, which only buys us more time if that is case.
I think that a legal concern that is, not in this ordinance that we are going to address
ourselves, but if we were to be spared the honor of having a waste facility site, low-level or
high-level, in our community, and if a pick-up truck comes down the road carrying some very radioac-
tive waste going to Barnwell or any other site, and it were to have an accident, then it's going to
be of little concession to me that I die of radioactivity from an illegally transported vehicle
going to a legally licensed low-level or high-level waste dump. My point is this that we probably
have as much concern about the transportation within our state and county of high-level and low-
level waste as we do the actual disposition of it. So we're going to look at the possibility of
trying to monitor in some way the movement of radioactive waste within our county. So that is where
we are. We are trying to keep it out of the county one way or another.
CROSSWHITE: Mr. Chairman, you might point that this $10 million that they are referring to is
i the non-refundable application fee. In addition to that there are other fees, quite a few other
fees.
DR. KOGUT: Perhaps Dr. Mac Cormac can take back to our Governor that the Iredell County
Medical Society voted unanimously to oppose the low-level nuclear waste facility in Iredell County,
and that they will do their best to prevent it from coming here and hope Dr. Mac Cormac will take
that back to the Governor, realizing that none of the physicians want this in this county.
DR. MARKS: In addition to that, the Statesville City Council last night voted to oppose the
location of a nuclear waste facility in Iredell! County.
DR. SHOLAR: Mooresville voted the same.
CHAIRMAN: We appreciate those comments by the people here this evening. Any questions or
comments by the commissioners?
STEWART: I have one. I have been told that there is some written regulations that a nuc lear
waste dump cannot be located with 30 miles of a water shed, is this correct?
MAC CORMAC: As far as I know, that is not correct. There are extra regulations written
regarding hydrogeology, but ----I don't think that's correct. I am not sure. I would have to go
read it. It is very complex.
J. RILEY: It's not part of the NRC regulations.
MAC CORMAC: I don't think it's part of the Radiation ----- Board, either, but I would have to
go check and see, so I can't answer your question. I don't think so. ------ It's technically
written; I can't cite it for you.
MURDOCK: I cannot see the wisdom of placing a landfill of this type in Iredell County. We are
a farm county, and the only open spaces that we have are farmland, timberland. I certainly want our
board to go on record, as the City Council has voted, as opposing.

CONTRACT BETWEEN IREDELL WATER CORPORATION AND IREDELL COUNTY: The County Manager introduced
the contract that was drawn by the County Attorney and has been signed by the officials of the
Iredell Water Corporation. This contract is a provision whereby the County will advance $112,500 to
Iredell] Water Corporation to be used for engineering, right of way acquisition, erection and buil-
ding of a water distribution line with pertinent gates, boxes, yokes, and valves, to serve Olin
Volunteer Fire Department. Funds are to be repaid in the form of one-half of the revenues derived
from the sale of water along that portion of water distribution line.
Mr. Deal said unless there was a rush on getting the contract signed, he would like to request
693
the board to delay action until a later meeting. There is still some question as to whether of not
the State Water and Sewer Funds can be used in this manner.
TABLED.
STATESVILLE CITY SCHOOLS: A letter from Statesville City Schools in reference to the FY 1986-
87 budget was placed on the agenda. The County Manager said this was for information only and
required no Board action.
MANAGER'S REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES - TRANSFER OF FUNDS, GENERAL RELIEF FUND TO AFDC-EA PROGRAM: The
County Manager explained a letter received from Mr. Don Wall, Director of Social Services, in
reference to transferring funds to a program that is mandated to begin on November 1, 1986. This
program does not require any additional funds and the request is to transfer funds from General
Relief Fund to be used as the County's match for the Federal and State funds for the new AFDC-EA
Program. The cost breakdown is salary for an Eligibility Specialist II, salary and fringes, total
cost 8-month period $11,427. There is a 50% Federal Share ($5,714) and 50% County Share ($5,713).
Adequate lapsed salary funds will support this. The County Manager recommends board approval, and
it comes recommended by the Social Services Board.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve this request, which is to take $3,600 from the
General Relief Fund and transfer to the newly established AFDC-EA Program as a County match to draw
down Federal and State monies for this mandatory program, to be used for the establishment of an
Eligibility Specialist II position, effective immediately, to help administer the AFDC-EA Program.
Commissioner Mills inquired if the vote would be taken at this meeting, having just received
the information.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Mills).

tions. The price of this is $22,500 and was offered by Nu-Life Environmental, Inc. The lowest bid
which met all specifications for the six new roll-off containers was Nu-Life Environmental, Inc., at

WINDFOREST, SECTION I, SUBDIVISION PLAT: Mr. Lundy, Planning Director, announced that the
Windforest Subdivision Plat was tabled at the November 4th meeting because some requirements had not
been met by the owner. Mr. Lundy said everything was in order at this time and recommendation for
approval comes from the Planning Board for Phase I of the Windforest development.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to approve Windforest, Section I, Subdivision Plat.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
PALOMINO PARK SUBDIVISON PLAT: Mr. Lundy, Planning Director, presented the captioned subdivi-
sion plat to the board. Mr. Lundy said the subdivision has been reviewed, and the required informa-
tion is on the plat. The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if the Health Department has approved this plat. Minutes from
the Plannning Board were contingent upon Health Department approval. Mr. Lundy said the Health
Department does preliminary investigations of all subdivisions, but they never give a 100% guarantee
on any lot until they know where the dwelling and well are going to be placed. They have some
concerns on a few of the lots because of the topography. That will be handled at the time of
applicatin for a building permit.
Commissioner Murdock inquired how the matter would be handled when the lots were already sold
and the lots would not perk.
Mr. Lundy said he did not know that they would not perk; they may be so steep they may have a
problem in putting a septic tank on a particular lot. The problem the Health Department has is
until they know where the well is to be located and where the house will sit, it is impossible for
them to say 100% whether you can or cannot have a septic tank.
Chairman Hedrick inquired what would be Mr. Johnny Craver's position if a lot were sold and it
was found that it would not accommodate a septic tank system.
Mr. Johnny Craver, developer of this subdivision, was present to discuss the plat. He said
anytime he sold a lot to anyone, it had been sold subject to permit approval, and if there is a
problem they don't buy the lot. He said he had never run into this situation on any of the deve lop-
ments he has done in Iredell County. He said if he ever sold a lot and the lot would not perk, he
would certainly refund the money or switch it to another lot.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to accept the unanimous decision of the planning board and
approve the Palomino Park Subdivision.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MOUNTAIN ROAD VILLAGE SUBDIVISION: Mr. Lundy, Planning Director, presented this plat to the
board at this time. Mr. Lundy said this is a section of a larger subdivision. The planning board
has recommended on a 7-2 vote that the county board of commissioners approve this subdivision as
presented.
Commissioner Mills inquired if the normal procedure was when these lots were sold then a
request would be made for the remainder to be approved. Mr. Lundy replied that any time after this
if they decide that it is feasible to do the remainder of them, they can come back with another
request. They would submit another plat for the remainder of the lots, Lundy said.
There are a total of 67 lots in this particular subdivision being submitted this evening.
A group of people who lived in the area were present and spoke at the meeting. Those speaking
were:
Frank Isenhour: Represented owners of land in the surrounding area, he said. He said they do
not want the subdivision plat approved for a mobile home park, double-wide or single trailers.
Thinks the schools would be overcrowded and the traffic on the road would be too heavy.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the size of the lots. Mr. Lundy said they were 125' x
200', average around 22,000 to 23,000, approximately 1/2 acre.
Henry Deal: Lives across the road. Is concerned with traffic problems.
Dianne Isenhour: Said they have nice homes. If this subdivision is approved, believes it will
lower the value of their homes.
Frank Isenhour: Is concerned with traffic and debris from traffic on the road.
Commissioner Murdock inquired what are size of lots in single-family houses subdivision; Mr.
Lundy replied that they would be the same size.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if there would be deed restrictions on these lots.
Fred Chamblee, representing the developer, Sunwood Energy, Inc.: Spoke on the restrictive
covenants which will go on record subject to the board's approval. Mr. Chamblee read the restric-
‘ wri. See | ll ie ts OEE, Ee eR
698
tions at the request of Commissioner Crosswhite.
Mr. Chamblee said the water source would be by wells. West Iredell Water Corporation may be
involved later, but these lots will be supplied with individual wells.
Hubert Miller: Concerned with waste water, surface run-off and drainage problem. Doesn't want
this water on his property. He asked Mr. Chamblee if a mobile home company is involved in this
development, to which Mr. Chamblee replied there was not.
Mr. Chamblee said this was not intended to be a mobile home park, but that doesn't mean that
mobile homes wil? not be allowed.
Chairman Hedrick inquired if the lots are to be sold rather than to be rented. Mr. Chamblee
said the lots were to be sold.
Hubert Miller: Inquired about the number of septic tanks and the wells. He inquired if this
was in the Lake Norman Zoning area, and Chairman Hedrick replied that it was.
Kim Deal: Inquired who would enforce the restrictions years from now.
Chairman Hedrick: Replied that it is not the County's responsibility to enforce deed restric-
tions. Mr. Lundy replied that deed restrictions would be enforced by civil action by any of the
owners in the development or by the developer.
Parks Davidson: Asked for clarification of Mr. Lundy's statement.
Hubert Miller: Spoke about drainage.
Parks Davidson: Inquired about the value of the property if this subdivision is approved.
Chairman Hedrick said there were letters of approval on file from Department of Transportation
and the school system for this subdivision.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the rights-of-way footage, to which Mr. Lundy said there
was a minimum of 45'.
Frank Isenhour: Inquired about the fire department approval. Mr. Lundy said no approval was
necessary from the fire department.
David Nash: Questioned how close to the property line could a structure be placed. Mr.
Chamblee replied 10' from the rear property line and 15' minimum to the side property line.
Dr. Poston: Inquired if there was a method whereby property owners could be notified of
rezoning.

ted.

ADDITIONAL SEWER LINE EXTENSION ON THE PROJECT: The County Manager recommended that the County
extend sewer lines to all four quadrants of 1-77 and NC-150. Plans are presently for all quadrants
to have water lines, but the Northwest quadrant is not now planned for sewer line service. The
Exxon station that is located at this quadrant and the Kathadias, who are planning to put a motel at
this quadrant, are interested in putting some developer money into the cost of the sewer line. Mr.
Deal reported that the construction of a sewer line to this site could be handled through an
addendum to the present construction contracts. Ragsdale Consultants would do the additional engi-
neering, if the board approves.
The board directed the County Manager to get a firm price on the engineering work from the
Ragsdale Consultants and bring it to the meeting that is to be held at Harmony on November 19th.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH TOWN OF MOORESVILLE: Mr. Deal recommended that the board consider an
interlocal agreement with the Town of Mooresville similar to that being proposed between the City of
Statesville and Iredell County. Computing the developer money that has been put into the NC-150 and
I-77 water and sewer line project, it appears that approximately $500 an acre for water and sewer
lines has been contributed. The County Manager recommends that $500 per acre for utility extensions
be charged in the future. Future proceeds from this development after the construction costs have
been paid should be placed in an account and used for future development in that area.
The board accepted this as information.
IREDELL COUNTY SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ORDINANCE, SECOND READING: This ordinance was introduced
by the County Manager, who said that the changes the board had requested to be made were incorpo-
rated into this final document, and it was now ready for final adoption by the board. The County
Attorney also recommends the board adopt this ordinance at this time.
ORDINANCE FILED IN ORDINANCE BOOK II, PP. 584-591.

IREDELL WATER CORPORATION REQUEST FOR FUNDING: Mr. Deal, County Manager, said he had checked
into the possibility of using Senate Bill Funds for financing this $112,500 project with Iredel]
Water Corporation. An agreement has been drawn by the County Attorney whereby Iredell Water Corpo-
ration would repay to the County this amount through one-half of the revenues received from the
water line. It has been learned, however, that it is not practical to use the Senate Bill Funds
without a great deal of time involvement in the project bidding, etc. If the Board is willing to
fund this $112,500 with the use of County Funds, the project could be pursued under the agreement
previously drawn in reference to payback.
Mr. White, Iredell Water Corporation, spoke in reference to the project. This line is to be
seer:
ye ATE Lancs SRC Ras
701
extended from North Iredell High School to Olin Volunteer Fire Department. It was explained that
the pay back would be over a ten-year period, according to the agreement. At the conclusion of the
ten-year period, the repayment will cease whether or not the funds have been completely repaid.
Mr. White said he could give the board engineer's estimates on the revenues anticipated from
the installation of this water line. The County Manager asked Mr. Wilson to give him this informa-
tion.
The board consented to table this matter and perhaps discuss it after the public hearing at
Harmony Elementary School on November 19th.
DISCUSSION OF AVAILABLE WATER AND SEWER FUNDS: The county manager discussed the available
water and sewer funds, funds from the State Senate Bill Funds and from the County's Water and Sewer
Fund.
I-77 & NC 150 Project, funds obligated $313,000
Proposed Addition to this Project 85,000
West Iredell Water Corporation 250,000
Crawford Road Project 230,000
CDM Water/Sewer Study 35,900
This leaves $180,000 unappropriated from the Senate Bill #2 money with the inclusion of the
addition to the NC150 & I77 project. Considering a major proposal on Highway 90, if the company
makes a decision to come to Iredell County, most of the $180,000 will be used on that project. Part
of these remaining funds can be used for engineering and technical assistance for working up speci-
fics for a Water and Sewer Bond issue.
There is $242,000 in the County's Water and Sewer Fund. There is more than enough money in
this fund to match the Senate Bill #2 Funds, if it is needed.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF STATESVILLE AND JOINT MEETING WITH THE CITY OF
STATESVILLE: Mr. Deal called the Board's attention to the Interlocal Agreeement in the Commis-
sioners' agenda packets. He asked the board members to look it over and give him any suggestions
they had regarding this agreement. He said he and the City Manager had put this agreement together
as a starter.
Mr. Deal also presented the board with information from the City of Statesville regarding the
acreage fee the Statesville City Council adopted on November 17, 1986. The Statesville Council
voted to award contracts on the Crawford Road Project.
Mr. Deal said his recollection was that the board of county commissioners had agreed to go
ahead and receive bids on the Crawford Road Project, but prior to awarding those bids the county
commissioners wanted the acreage fee to be in place, one that was acceptable to both boards. He
asked the board to look at the acreage fee that the city council approved last evening.
Mr. Deal further stated that it was his recollection that the county board of commissioners
wanted an interlocal agreement between Statesville and the County on how funds that came back
through the acreage fee would be used in the future. The document, Interlocal Agreement, Mr. Deal
presented addressed this matter. Mr. Deal said he and the City Manager had tried to keep the
agreement simple, with the document saying that the money would be kept in a special fund, 50/50
County and City, and it would be used to jointly fund water and sewer economic development projects
that the City and County both agreed upon. This is not confined to distribution lines; it can be
used for water and sewer plants if both boards agree. Mr. Deal said he believed financially that
this was a better agreement for the County. Presently the County puts in 70% and the City puts in
30%. A payback scale is included in the present arrangement, based upon annexation; however, this
part of the agreement has never been exercised. The new Interlocal Agreement is a 50/50 arrangement
of funding.
Mr. Deal said it was his opinion that the Board of Commissioners should not look at awarding a
construction contract on Crawford Road until the County was satisfied with the acreage fees and the
Interlocal Agreement. The Mayor and Chairman Hedrick have agreed that the two boards meet jointly
to discuss this matter further.
The Interlocal Agreement was tabled until the joint meeting with the City of Statesville. A
meeting is planned for Tuesday, November 25, 1986, 12:00 Noon, Statesville City Club. Alternate
date was set for Wednesday, November 26, 1986, 5:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room.
LOWRANCE HOSPITAL - RESOLUTION REGARDING PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF HOSPITAL: A resolution regar-
ding the proceeds from the sale of Lowrance Hospital, Inc. was presented to the board for approval.
The board discussed the committee that is called for in the agreement under Item (c). It was the
consensus of the board that this committee should be comprised of five members.
The board then discussed the composition of the board. Mr. Deal recommended one county commis-
sioner, the Mayor of Mooresville, Chairman of the Lowrance Hospital Board, member of the medical
staff of Lowrance, and one citizen at large.
Another suggestion was Chief of Staff of Lowrance Hospital, President of the Chamber, Mayor of
Mooresville, Chairman of the Lowrance Hospital, and a representative of the County Commissioners.
The third and final suggestion was a representative of the medical staff to be chosen by the medical
staff, county commissioner chosen by the Iredell] County Board of Commissioners, Mooresville gover-
ning board chosen by the Mooresville Town Board, representative of the Lowrance Hospital Board
chosen by the Lowrance Hospital Board, and a representative of the Mooresville/South Iredel! Chamber
in las ha. a a # ae j is i
702

It was the consensus of the board that each entities should be asked to submit three names for
their respective categories, and that they be submitted to the Iredell County Board of Commis-
sioners for formal appointment. Terms were discussed as being established for four years, beginning
January 1, 1987.

INVOCATION: By Mayor Bentley
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER DISTRIBUTION LINES PROJECT: The County and the City discussed the funding
of the Crawford Road Sewer Line Project. Bids have been received, and low bid is as follows:
Construction $379,660.
Engineering & Design 45,545.
TOTAL $425,205.
Funding suggested is as follows:
Developers $ 54,967
County & City 134,864. (67,432 each)
County's Senate #2 212,602.
50% Engineering Fees 22,772.
TOTAL $ 425,205.
Mayor Bentley said this would take the line to the dead end of the cul de sac on Hatfield
Drive. The developer will be responsible for the lift station.
A discussion took place regarding the payback of the funds, the mutual fund for future water
and sewer line development.
In reference to the Interlocal Agreement, a motion was made by Howard Bryan to approve the
document effective November 15 or whatever day necessary to make it effective for the Crawford Road
bids. The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Kivett said the City would not have been interested in this project if they had not thought
they could recoup part of the City's expenses.
Mr. Dagenhart said said he did not believe the City was ready to adopt the agreement at this
meeting today.
Commissioner Stewart inquired about the amount of funds that would be received from the Utility
Application Fee and placed in a revolving account for the County and City for future water and sewer
line extensions. Commissioner Stewart questioned if there would be enough funds realized from this
fee charge to make an appreciable difference in future expansion funds. Councilman Dagenhart said
he agreed with her, that there would not be a large amount of funds from this souce to make a great
deal of difference on future line extension costs.

More discussion was held by the city council regarding the Interlocal Agreement.
MOTION was made by Howard Kivett that the County would be reimbursed the $67,432 that the
County would contribute on the Crawford Road project out of the Utility Application Fee. Reimburse-
ment would occur as the funds are collected. Second by Mr. Boyd.
In discussing the motion, it was stated by the City that the City would split 50/50 with the
County the UAF as it comes back to the City.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 2. (City's Action)
Chairman Hedrick said the County needs to consider the $67,432 of local funds and the $212,602
Senate Bill #2 Funds. County will be paid back through the acreage fee the $67,432 of County Funds.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that the County make the expenditure of $67,432 from the County's
Water and Sewer Fund and the $212,602 from the County's Senate Bill #2 Funds to extend the Crawford

IREDELL WATER CORPORATION: Chairman Hedrick said he and the County Manager had met with Bud
White, Ed Mitchum, Cash McCall and Bill Holman of Iredell Water Corporation and discussed the
possibility of funding the request to run a water line to North Iredell High School, which repre-
sents installation of approximately two miles of pipe. The line would start at Tomlin Mill Road,
just east of I-77 and continues approximately 2.2 miles to North Iredell High School.
The project will cost approximately $115,000, and it is recommended that the County enter into
an agreement with the Iredell Water Corporation to fund the $115,000 amount with $60,000 from the
County's Water and Sewer Fund and $60,000 from the Senate Bill #2 Funds. The payback to the County
will be over a 20-year period at $6,000 annually.
The County Manager said the County would bid the project and lease the completed water line to
the Iredell Water Corporation for $6,000 a year. The Iredell Water Corporation will maintain the
line and the county will be charged for the actual maintenance cost.
Mr. Deal said subject to the Board's approval he would write the State to get approval to use
the Senate Bill #2 funds in this manner.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve the appropriation of $60,000 Senate Bill #2 Funds
and $60,000 from the County's Water and Sewer Fund for construction of the water line as proposed,
subject to the State's approval of using Senate Bill #2 funds in this manner. The payback is to be
$6,000 annually for twenty years with the County's paying the maintence cost on the line. At the
conclusion of the 20-year period, the line belongs to Iredell County and another lease arrangement
will need to be negotiated.

Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, brought this matter before the board. This request was made by the
Town of Troutman sometime ago. Mr. Deal said the total project was $55,915. The Town of Troutman
was planning to use their Senate Bill #2 funds in the amount of $13,581 on this project, which
leaves a maximum amount of $14,376 in Senate Bill #2 Funds that the County can legally allocate to
Troutman since the Senate Bill #2 Funds have to have a 50% match from local funds.

help with the project, to connect to the City of Statesville's water system.

appoint William P. Pope as County Attorney and Alice Fortner as Clerk to the Board.
Commissioner Murdock said she was in agreement with the appointment of Mr. Pope as County
Attorney. She said she had some problems with the Clerk to the Board. Just recently the Clerk
(maybe longer than she thinks, she said) has been removed from the County Manager's Office to a
separate office, and she has not found it quite as satisfactory. She also said she wondered if Mrs.
Fortner has time for the amount of work that she is required to do now. She said she would like for
this to be studied and her question was to Mr. Pope if it was legal to pos*pone the appointment of
any of these people.
Mr. Bill Pope, the County Manager, and Chairman Hedrick agreed that the clerk as well as county
attorney and county manager served at the pleasure of the board.
Commissioner Murdock again stated that she had some problems with the clerk position. She said

this matter.

duced Mr. Campbell from the N. C. Department of Transportation. Mr. Campbell spoke regarding the
petitions before the board, which are:
Ss. R. 1487 (Honeycutt Road), which is .12 miles with one summer home.
Commissioner Murdock inquired about the location of the road.
Mr. Campbell said this road is past Romac Metals at the end of the pavement. Mr. Campbell said
Mr. Honeycutt has placed a cable across the road and does not wish for state maintenance of this
particular segment of road.
S. R. 1400 (Bullfinch Road), 1850' (.35 mile), and Bullfinch Road, .11 mile. Mr. Campbell said
this has been requested by Crescent Land & Timber, the only property owners involved.

Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if Honeycutt was the only landowner on the first request.
Chairman Hedrick asked if there was anyone present to speak in reference to these three re-
quests, the Honeycutt Road and the two on Bullfinch Road.

REZONING HEARINGS (as advertised in the Statesville Record & Landmark on November 21 & 28,

zoning from GB and R-20 to CB. He identified the property on the County Zoning Map. The property
is located at the intersection of SR 2321, E. Broad Street Extension and US Highway 64 E. Existing
use is for car dealership on leased property; surrounding use iS General Business and R-20.

proposed rezoning, to which Mr. Lundy replied he was contacted and the property owner is in favor.
The Planning board recommended approval of the request on a unanimous vote.
Mr. Bill Pope inquired about the buffering requirements for a CB District. Mr. Lundy said
either by planting or solid fence. Lowery Land Company is also developing property that will remain

T. M. HONEYCUTT PROPERTY: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, identified this property on the
Iredell] County Zoning Map. The request is currently R/A and G/B and is requesting the zoning to be
changed to H/B. Mr. Honeycutt has indicated that he has a potential buyer for the property and has
submitted a request for the H/B. The Planning Board has reviewed his request and unanimously
recommends that the county commissioners approved.
Chairman Hedrick inquired if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or
against this rezoning request.
No one spoke for or against the request.
RESIDENTS OF LAUREL COVE, REQUEST FOR APPROPRIATENESS OF NON-OWNER PETITION: Mr. Lundy identi-
fied this property on the zoning map. The residents found that a part of their lots were deed
restricted and a part of them were not deed restricted. They were having some problems in relation
to what was being placed on the lots, and for this reason they submitted a non-owner petition. This
is being brought at this time for the county commissioners to find appropriateness. The planning
board has reviewed this 30 lots, 24 possible signatures because of dual ownership. There were 14
signatures on the petition and one verbal request on this.
The planning board has reviewed this and found the request to be appropriate to change from R/A
to R-20, and recommends that the county commissioners also find this appropriate and remand it back
to the planning board to begin the rezoning process.
Chairman Hedrick inquired if there were any questions in reference to this request.
No one present spoke for or against the rezoning.

ADDITIONAL STAFF FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES: Mr. Donald Wall, Director of the
Department of Social Services, came before the board to request two additional eligibility specia-
lists and one data entry clerk for the fraud and waste prevention program. The board members had
received information regarding this request.
Mr. Wall described extensively the process which his staff uses to process recipients of AFDC
and food stamps. They presently have to do eight computer matches, he says; however, their work load
has increased 133%. If the work is not completed in a timely manner and a delay in payment results,
the recipient receives $50.
In addition to the increased work load, the Fair Labor Standards Act has created problems
because the employees cannot begin work until 8:00 a.m. and must quit at 5:00 p.m.
The eligibility specialists salary is $1891 per month. Total request is for $26,474 in sala-
ries with fringe benefits. The County's share would be $13,237 or 50% of the total amount. This
represents the cost until the end of the current fiscal year, and it is anticipated that these three
positions would be budgeted in the 87-88 budget.
The County Manager said if the board concurred with this request, the finance officer could
bring a budget amendment back to the board at a later date.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the expenditure of $26,474 for salaries and fringe
benefits for two Eligibility Specialists I and one Data Entry Operator. This is the actual cost for
the remainder of the current fiscal year. The county's portion is $13,237 for this time period.

OLD COURTHOUSE RENOVATION: Commissioner Crosswhite mentioned that due to the election she and
Commissioner Murdock have not had an opportunity to get together and work on this project. She has
discussed the possibility of State funding with Representative Walker and Senator Redman, and they
think they may possibly can get money through the Department of Cultural Resources.
Commissioner Crosswhite said she had talked with Judge Collier, and he said he would be very
happy to work with the committee on ideas on how it can be best utilized. They hope to begin
working on this project after the first of the year.
Commissioner Murdock said Senator Redman said to be sure to get the request for funds in as
early as possible.
Chairman Hedrick said in order to request funds, he assumed that we must have a plan. This
probably would require an architect draw up a plan.
Commissioner Crosswhite said she mentioned to Judge Collier the possibility of converting the
old courtroom into a courtroom that they can used when they have an overabundance of court cases.
Judge Collier said he thought that would be very well received. Representative Walker said if we
would mention this purpose, it would be helpful in receiving funds.
Chairman Hedrick instructed the County Manager to look into this matter and make a report by
the meeting on December 11th.

DISCUSSION OF REFINANCING OF IREDELL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL REVENUE BONDS: Mr. Wayne Deal, County
Manager, and Mr. William P. Pope, County Attorney, discussed with the board the refinancing of the
Iredell Memorial Hospital Revenue Bonds.
In 1983 the County and Iredell Memorial Hospital issued $16 million in revenue bonds for
719
Iredell] Memorial Hospita] renovation and addition. These bonds are to be repaid from revenues from
the hospital. At the time the bonds were issued the market rate for bonds was much higher than the
present rate. The bonds were issued at 103% interest rate. It was understood that if the market on
interest rates dropped and the interest on the revenue bonds could be reduced by as much as two to
three per cent, the bonds would be refinanced.
The county manager and county attorney have been attending all the meetings where the bond
documents have been discussed. A substantial savings could be realized on the refinancing of these
bonds. In addition insurance can be acquired for the guarantee of payback on the bonds, which would
increase the bond rate to AAA. Both of these items contribute to a lower interest rate.
The hospital has also included some diagnostic equipment in the financing which would be
included in the total bond amount.
The county manager said the bonds would be closed in New York at the office of the bond
counsel, Brown, Wood, Ivey, Mitchell & Petty, in mid-January.
No board action was taken.
EXECUTIVE SESSION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn to executive session for the
purpose of discussing possible litigation.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to return to regular session.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
PRE-BUDGET WORK SHOP: Commissioner Crosswhite has recently attended a meeting at the Institute
of Government for newly elected county officials. Mrs. Crosswhite reported that two members of the
Institute of Government believed that it is imperative for a board of county commissioners to have a
pre-budget planning session. The Institute staff members recommend a retreat type setting for a
session of budgetary planning, Mrs. Crosswhite said.
PLANNING FOR FUTURE: Chairman Hedrick wrote the following topics on the blackboard and asked
the board members to assist in arranging them in priority:
School Capital Expense - Bond
Water & Sewer Expense - Bond
Waste Disposal
School Consolidation
Land Use Planning
Incineration of Garbage (added by Commissioner Ostwalt)
Commissioner Murdock said school consolidation should be with the school capital outlay for
items of discussion.
Commissioner Crosswhite said the consolidation and school capital expense should be combined as
two separate items for the ballot, one asking if the public favored consolidation and one asking for
funds for capital expense.
Commissioner Murdock said she was at the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners
Board Meeting in Raleigh, and it was suggested that counties seek legislation to prevent funding for
no more than one school supervisory system for each county.
Commissioner Murdock suggested that members of the board visit the schools in the county on
their own, going with the Iredell County Schools Maintenance Department. She believed that more
could be learned about the condition of the schools in this manner.
A discussion took place regarding the consolidation of the three school systems. Commissioner
Murdock recommended an outside firm to do a study on the possible consolidation. It was also
suggested that in the interim period all capital funds be directed toward repair and maintenance of
the present buildings and no special capital money be appropriated for new buildings. This is
because under a consolidation plan, these buildings may not be located in the proper places; and the
funds will have been wasted.
The county manager, Mr. Deal, suggested that it might be more advisable to go with consolida-
ting the three districts into two districts initially.
FUNDS FOR THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE: Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if the chambers of
commerce gave an accounting to the County for the County funds they received. Mr. Deal replied that
both chambers did.
INCINERATION OF GARBAGE: Commissioner Ostwalt brought up the subject of future incinceration
of garbage, stating that eventually the County would use up the landfill they now have.
FIRE DISTRICTS: It was pointed out by the county manager that the five-mile fire districts
would be on the agenda for board action during the month of January.
LAND USE PLANNING: The county manager said the Land Use Planning Program was already underway,
so it would not be necessary to add this to the long-range planning program.
720
Commissioner Crosswhite said she wanted to see the report from University of North Carolina/-
Charlotte's Department of Urban Studies for Land Use, which she mentioned at the meeting on December
2nd. UNC/C has conducted a survey on hazardous waste storage transportation and disposal.
LONG RANGE PLANS FOR WATER AND SEWER DISTRIBUTION LINES: Mr. Deal discussed the future of the
water corporations in the county. He said that the source of funding from Farmers Home Administra-
tion was “drying up." He believed that the two water corporations would be very receptive to
discussing long range plans for water and sewer.
The board discussed briefly a bond referendum for water and sewer financing in the county. Mr.
Bill Pope discussed available avenues for financing water and sewer--water districts and sanitary
districts.
Commissioner Stewart gave some information she received from Cabarrus County relative to im-
poundment permit they were seeking which is right outside the Iredell County/Cabarrus County Line.
Chairman Hedrick inquired if this issue would not also be addressed in the Strategic Planning
Program, recently adopted by the County and municipalities within the county. Mr. Deal said it
would be.
Mr. Deal said a lot would depend on how the board presented a water and sewer bond package. He
recommended a spirit of enthusiasm from the board of commissioners.
After more discussion, it was decided that the two primary issues the board needed to address
were water and sewer extensions and financing and the school issue. The board would need to decide
how to address each individual issue. It was suggested that the two water corporations be contac-
ted and asked how they feel about the county getting into the water business.
Commissioner Stewart said the Granville County Commissioners had warned against water dis-
tricts.
On the subject of school consolidation, Chairman Hedrick suggested a bond referendum for
maintenance of present buildings only, not construction of new buildings, until such time that the
consolidation issue is resolved. Commissioner Ostwalt added that the County could fund Capital
Outlay for repair and maintenace and not Special Capital Outlay for new buildings.
Mr. Deal said the board should decide how the ballot should be worded. It was brought out
again that the State favors funding one superintendent's office in each county. Commissioner
Murdock again mentioned having some outside people come into the county to do a study on consolida-
tion.
DISTRICT REPRESENTATION ON THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: The board discussed this matter briefly.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to ask the county manager to negotiate with the Centralina
Council of Governments a contract for studying District Representation in Iredell County. The
county manager should bring such a contract back to the board for approval. Upon completion of the
work, the board would study the Centralina report on District Representation.

1:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room. Mr. Deal, county manager, brought up some of the issues
that would be on the agenda. He also said that he thought this would be a good time to discuss the
Emergency Medical Services Department.

Deal brought up the tract of land that has been listed for taxes in Iredell County for a number of
years. It actually belongs in Davie County, although the owner wishes to be a part of Iredell
County. Be dba
721
HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIPS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Commissioner Murdock brought up the possibility
of having an academic internship program in county government for junior and senior high school
students. She said it would be necessary to pay these interns minimum wage. This would be a 40-
hour program in such areas as attending meetings, making telephone calls, writing reports and memos,
field work, etc., etc.
She added that a student intern would not be in the office to do simple clerical work or to be
a "go-fer".
Chairman Hedrick asked Commissioner Murdock to investigate this project further and report back
to the board at a later time. |
NO BOARD ACTION.
CODIFYING ORDINANCES: Commissioner Murdock mentioned that she had spoken to Mr. Frank Lewis
regarding a proposal that he had submitted to Iredell County for codifying the Iredell County
Ordinances. She questioned what the status on this matter was.
Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board, said two bids have been received. The county attorney has
looked at the bid from Mr. Frank Lewis' firm, and she had spoken with the county manager about this
project. It had been decided that this would be in the proposed budget for FY 1987-88 for the
county manager's office.
DAVIE COUNTY PROPERTY: Mrs. Lois Troutman brought additional information to the board regar-
ding the property discussed earlier that is located in Davie County and has been listed for taxes in
Iredell County. It was suggested that Mr. John Barber, Davie County Manager, be contacted and asked
if he would give an official letter from Davie County that he intendes to list this property for
taxes in Davie County in 1987.

FUNDS FOR HISTORICAL PRESERVATION RETURNED TO THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND: Mr. Louis Brown, who
was very instrumental in assisting the County with its Bicentennial Project of the restoration of
Ft. Dobbs, came before the board to request that a certain sum of money be returned to the County.
The amount is $2,718.70 in a checking account and $2,794.87 in a savings account. Interest will
accrue to the savings account which will mature on January 23, 1987. At this time it was estimated
by a bank official that the amount would be approximately $3,300, including the accrued interest.
These funds were originally appropriated for the Historical Preservations Society for the
Bicentennial Project of Restoration of Ft. Dobbs. Following completion of that project, Mr. Brown
came to the board and asked if the funds could be used for an archeological project. The board gave
permission for this several years ago; however, the project never materialized. For this reason Mr.
Brown requested that the funds be returned to the County.
Mr. Brown also mentioned that he hoped sometime the County would have a Farm Museum for Iredell
County since the County has been an agricultural county for a long time. Commissioner Murdock said
she thought it would be a great benefit to preserve some of the old farm equipment.

interested in modifying the present ordinance to include some of the points covered in the Mitchell
ordinance. Other minor changes were suggested by some of the commissioners.

TAX COLLECTIONS REPORT - MONTH OF DECEMBER 1986: Mr. Joe Ketchie, Tax Collection, presented the tax collections report for December 1986. He said the exemption of personal property from the 1987 tax bills represents a loss of approximately $200,000 to $250,000, or the equivalent of approximately 1¢ on the tax rate.
The board discussed with Mr. Ketchie the in rem procedure now being used by the tax office for collections. He said some of the ways the tax office was using to collect taxes are: (1) attaching bank accounts, (2) garnishing salaries, (3) personal contact, and (4) in rem foreclosure.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to accept the Tax Collections Report for the month of December 1986.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR RESCUE SQUADS DISCUSSED: Mr. Jimmy Deaton represented the rescue squads in requesting that minimums standards for the squads be set.
Mr. Deaton said that the N. C. Association of Rescue Squads sets minimum standards. The present rescue squads in Iredell County meet certain standards; however, they would like to see any future rescue squad meet the same criteria that the current rescue squads meet. There are three rescue squads now in existence, Mooresville, Troutman, and Statesville squads.
Mr. Hedrick inquired if any other county set criteria at this time, to which Mr. Deaton replied he knew of none, although he thought Catawba County might have such an organization. Chair- man Hedrick also inquired if some sort of monitoring would be necessary. Mr. Deaton said he thought it would be self-monitoring.

BIDS FOR IREDELL COUNTY UHF MEDICAL COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Mike McLaurin, Centralina Council of Governments, and Mr. John Fleming, Iredell County Emergency Medical Director, were present to discuss the recent bids received for UHF Medical Communications in the Mooresville area.
Mr. McLaurin made the following recommendations:
(1) Throw out all the bids received;
(2) Rebid package #1, rebid package #2, and purchase bid package #3 from another local government.
Mr. McLaurin said the Biocom, Inc. had submitted what they considered an improper bid deposit. They are recommending throwing out the Motorola bid because of what they consider exces- sive prices. Motorola exceeded budget on all three bid packages, and projected a two-year delivery
schedule. They also tied in a Performance Guarantee into purchasing a $40,000 project management
officer, which is not a requirement.
Mr. McLaurin said they had conferred with Mr. Deal, the COG Attorney, the office of Emergency
Management Services, Mr. Fleming, and Mrs. Caldwell in making this recommendation.
Commissioner Stewart asked questions about who would install the equipment. She said she
hoped that the equipment would be used together and not have to be "reworked" and end up with a
“thrown-together" system. She was concerned that over the years the communications had been "pieced
together" and various types of equipment had been purchased, which is not desirable. Since the
County is going to great expense to re-do the system, she wanted to make sure that it would work properly and be what the County needs for a number of years. She asked for reassurance that if equipment is purchased from a local government that it would be compatible with the existing equip-
ment. She inquired if professionals would be hired to install this equipment. Mr. McLaurin said
professional installation would be made.
Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about the Project Management Officer. Mr. McLaurin answered
his question, saying that for Motorola to administer the project, they included this Project Manage-
ment Officer provision at an excessive cost. Mr. McLaurin said this was one of the objections they had to the Motorola bid. Mr. Fleming and Mr. McLaurin said they did not understand the Project Management Officer position in the Motorola bid.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to follow the recommendation from Mr. McLaurin to throw out
all the bids, rebid packages #1 and #2, and purchase package #3 from another local government
entity.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

REPORT ON LEGISLATIVE GOALS CONFERENCE AT FAYETTEVILLE, NC: Commissioner Stewart gave a
report on the 1987 Legislative Goals Conference which was held in Fayetteville, NC, on January 14-
15, 1987. Commissioners Stewart, Crosswhite, and Murdock attended, along with the County Manager,
Mr. Wayne Deal. Commissioners Crosswhite and Stewart also attended the Risk Management Seminar held
on January 13th. She reported on the Risk Management conference and said that she was glad to know
that the County Manager and Staff were "on top" of many areas where risk is greater to the County
and its employees.
The Goals Committee had met four times and reviewed over 100 proposals from various counties
and the eight affiliate organizations. Some of the goals that were recommended were tax sales
refunds, salaries for educational personnel, recovery of administrative costs, transportation for
elderly and disabled, secondary road funding, separation allowances for law officers, law officers
retirement benefits, solid waste collection and disposal.
The association issued a statement of purpose which was voted on and accepted-by the associa-
tion. She had a copy available for anyone who would like to read the entire statement.
Chairman Hedrick said he noticed the recommended legislation to fund one school administra-
tive system per county. Commissioner Ostwalt asked if any specific action was taken with reference
to consolidation of schools.
Commissioner Murdock called attention to the issue to seek legislation to ask the state to
provide sufficient funding to compensate for the supplementary salaries so that the counties will no
longer have to fund these supplementary salaries. Commissioner Murdock said she opposed this
legislation.
Commissioner Crosswhite said there were eight resolutions passed to be given to the General
Assembly. A copy of the resolutions was given to the Clerk to the Board for the files.
Chairman Hedrick thanked the board members for their attendance at the conference.
SHADY COVE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION, REGARDING SKIPPER'S COVE: Mr. Peter Meletis, representing
the Shady Cove Citizens Association, spoke regarding the letter he had sent to the board members.
He is concerned with what he termed as a dilemma at Skipper's Cove. This cove is about 275 from
pier to pier at the widest part and 218' at the narrowest point. The residents who have bought
property agreed that the store now located there is fine. This is Skipper's Cove Marina, which has
been there about 20 years. He said the boat traffic there now is unbearable.
Mr. Meletis was requesting that the county commissioners contact the N. C. Wildlife Associa-
tion on behalf of this group and ask for a hearing regarding the citizens’ concerns for guidelines
to protect the small coves at the shorelines of Lake Norman in Iredell County. He referred to G.S.
75A-15, which he believed would be of assistance in this matter.
After more conversation, Chairman Hedrick said the board would be glad to recommend that the
county manager forward this information to the Wildlife Commissioner and ask for a hearing and get
the Wildlife Association to identify any other coves in Iredell! County that they should be concerned
with.
APPOINTMENTS TO STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMISSION: Delayed until January 27, 1987.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. a oe SURVEY OF SCHOOL NEEDS: Chairman Hedrick said the Superintendent of the Iredell] County
Schools had been in touch with him regarding a meeting. Chairman Hedrick asked the County Manager
to get in touch with the Iredell County School Superintendent regarding a meeting. He thought it
would be wise to have the meeting after the board of commissioners receives the Survey of School
Needs that the State is requiring the school systems to prepare. Chairman Hedrick asked that the
County Manager write a letter saying that the board would meet with them on a specific date, which
should be two or three days after the board has received the Survey of School Needs form.
The County Manager said the Survey of School Needs has been received from the Mooresville
system. He has talked with Dr. Carson and Dr. Williams. The date of February 2, 1987 at the
Agricultural Center was set for this particular meeting. February 3, 1987 will be the regular
meeting of the board.
MEETING IN MOORESVILLE, JANUARY 27, 1987; The board's attention was called to the meeting on

this time.
RENOVATION OF OLD COURT HOUSE: Commissioner Crosswhite reported on a meeting that she,
Commissioner Murdock, and Alice Fortner had with Judge Collier in reference to the renovation of the
old court house. Judge Collier was very supportive of the project.
Commissioner Crosswhite said it had been pointed out that chances of receiving funds through
the State would be much greater if an exact amount of cost of the renovations to the building and a
i plan of use were stated in the grant proposal. A meeting is scheduled for Friday, January 23, with
ome Representative Lois Walker.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION REQUESTED: Commissioner Crosswhite requested that a resolution be written
for Alice Bright, an industrial nurse, who was recognized recently as one of the top ten industrial
nurses in the United States. She is responsible for the Wellness Program which is widely used by
many industries. An article was recently in two local newspapers regarding her experiences.
REQUEST FOR HOUSE NUMBERS: Mr. Bill Culp, a Mooresville resident, came before the board to
request that the county consider assigning house numbers to the houses in the county. Mr. Culp said
many have been experiencing frequent mailing address changes and thought that a permanent house
numbering system would be beneficial to them.
The county manager was asked to contact the Post Master and asked his advice on this matter.

IREDELL COUNTY HAZARDOUS WASTE AND LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE: Chairman
Hedrick announced that the board would consider the captioned ordinance at this time. The ordinance
was introduced on October 21, 1986, and a public hearing was held on November 2, 1986. Following
that time several recommended changes had been incorporated into the original document. Chairman
Hedrick called upon the County Attorney, Mr. Bill Pope, to discuss the changes that were made since
the original ordinance.
Mr. Pope said the ordinance was designed to require special permits to operate a hazardous
waste and low-level radioactive waste landfill in the county. Since the original document was
presented on October 21, 1986, he had been given a copy of an ordinance from Mitchell County which
imposed additional valid conditions. Mr. Pope has now added Subsection D to Section 9 of the
original ordinance. Mr. Pope said he believed that this new subsection strengthened the ordinance
very substantially and recommended that the board approve the ordinance with this addition.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart, second from Commissioner Murdock to approve the "Iredel]
County Hazardous Waste and Low-level Radioactive Waste Management Ordinance."
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DISCUSSION OF THE IREDELL COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE IN THE MOORESVILLE AREA: Chairman
Hedrick gave a history of the ambulance service, going back to the time when the funeral homes were
transporting patients and when the county originally began the service. He also addressed the
County taking over the Mooresville ambulance service, effective July 1, 1986, in order to give a
higher level of emergency care to the Mooresville citizens.
Chairman Hedrick said North Carolina law does not require counties to furnish ambulance ser-
vice; however, the county has made a commitment to give this service to the citizens.
Chairman Hedrick also spoke of the Care-A-Van service which provides transportation in non-
emergency situations. He then introduced Mr. John Fleming, director of the emergency medical
services, and said that the board was in Mooresville to correct any problems that can be corrected,
to straighten out any misunderstandings and misinformation.
Chairman Hedrick then opened the floor to allow the citizens to speak:
Speaking were:
Cecilia Barnes: Questioned the funding of the Mooresville Ambulance Service and the Iredel]
County Ambulance Service.
Chairman Hedrick answered that the County purchased equipment in excess of $100,000 for the
Mooresville area to bring the service up to the standards that the county has in other areas.
Service was elevated from EMT to paramedic level by the County's assuming the service.
Mrs. Barnes questioned why her father could not be transported to Charlotte Memorial Hospital
when they called for the ambulance.
Mr. John Fleming said the ambulance service was obligated legally and morally to transport to
|
737
the nearest hospital. He said if Ms. Barnes wanted her father to go to a Charlotte hospital, she would have to get a physician's statement that he should be brought to the Charlotte hospital; otherwise, the EMS crew is obligated to transport to the nearest hospital.
Virginia McDonald: Asked why does it take so long when an ambulance is called. Dispatchers ask questions. She said she wanted their local service back.
Mr. John Fleming said the reason the dispatcher asked so many questions is that they wanted to prepare the paramedics so they would know what to expect when they arrived.
Ms. Cecilia Barnes inquired about the difference in an EMT and a paramedic. Mr. John Fleming explained the difference in their training and capabilities at the scene of an emergency.
Mrs. Sarah Hedrick inquired about the difference in ambulance bills. Said she was described by a@ paramedic as using “abusive speech". This also appeared on the insurance form, she said.
Mr. Troy Scoggins said the reason Mooresville decided to go out of the ambulance service is because they could not afford to update their service from EMT to the paramedic level.
Chairman Hedrick said the "bottom line" is that the County was trying to upgrade the level of emergency service in the Mooresville area.
Bill Caldwell made a complaint about the long period of waiting for his mother-in-law who was not an emergency victim but needed transportation. He waited two hours for an 83 year old woman to get transported to the hospital, he said. A lot of telephone calls had to be made.
Chairman Hedrick advised the group of the E911 system that is being installed in Iredell County, which is planned to be ready for use in April 1987. He also asked that Mr. John Fleming get with Mr. Caldwell and discuss the situation Mr. Caldwell brought up at the meeting.
Mrs. Pat Sherrill: Spoke of time lost in dispatching ambulances.
Mrs. Cowan discussed her 82 year old brother who was recovering from a stroke. She discussed several different ambulance bills and the different charaes. Some of the transports were made by Care-A-Van service.
Mr. Bill Brater was recognized by Chairman Hedrick. Mr. Brater discussed his Care-A-Van service. He said they only provide oxygen and monitor the vital signs in their transport service. He also said collections were bad. They now have enough outstanding bills to purchase a new ambulance, he said.
Chairman Hedrick read the costs of maintaining the Iredell County Ambulance Service and then
the revenues received for services. He said the average call cost the county $273., and the
revenues average $36.82 per call.
Mr. Lloyd Shoemaker spoke of trouble he had with filing for reimbursement with Medicare for a Care-A-Van bill.
Chairman Hedrick suggested that Care-A-Van spend some time helping the patients to fill out the forms.
Leonna Johnson inquired how long before the E-911 service will be available. Chairman Hedrick said it was supposed to be effective in April of this year. This is the date that has been given by the installers.
Mrs. Nancy Cowan asked a question about the number of ambulances.
Mr. John Fleming said the County has six ambulances on duty seven days a week. They always
have at least one in Mooresville, he said.
Mrs. Cowan also asked a question about a problem she had experienced at Davis Community Hospi-
tal. Chairman Hedrick said he would ask the County Manager to contact Mr. Steve Blaine at the hospital and ask him to get in touch with Mrs. Cowan.
Sarah Hedrick: Asked if there was any way that the Board could help them to get their Moores-
ville ambulance service back.
Chairman Hedrick: Said the service by Iredell County with the paramedic level of care is the
best way and asked that the County be given a little time.
Cecilia Barnes: Made a complaint about Care-A-Van.
Bobbie Powers: Said they did not have all these problems when Mooresville had its own
ambulance service.
Mr. Shoemaker: Commended the ambulance attendants.
Dr. Pam Sholar: Said one of the difficulties is in determining what is a medical emergency and
thought there was a communication problem.
Sylvia Liner: Said she thought one of the problems was communication. Asked that the guide-
lines for the emergency services be put in the newspaper.
738
Dr. Sholar said she worked in all three hospitals in the county and thought in an emergency
situation, that the ambulance should go to the nearest hospital.
Commissioner Stewart: Said she appreciated the comments. Said the board was very concerned
about the ambulance service, but the board has the best interest of the citizens at heart. She
spoke of the board's involvement in assisting to preserve the hospital in southern Iredell! County
and said she had a great deal of confidence in these men who are EMT's and paramedics.
Mayor Knox: Said hopefully there has been some good in this meeting. Gave a history of the
Mooresville ambulance service. He questioned that the private transport service does not have to
answer to anyone regarding their service.
Chairman Hedrick mentioned an oversite committee that would operate during the interim period.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION PRESENT TO TROY SCOGGINS: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to present the
following resolution:
IN APPRECIATION
WHEREAS, Troy Ransom Scoggins, Jr. became the Town of Mooresville Director of Public Utili-
ties in March 8, 1971, and

SCHOOL STUDIES OF CAPITAL NEEDS: The N. C. Department of Education had presented a form to the
school systems and asked that they make a list of all their capital needs. All three school systems
have completed these forms and they have been submitted to the Iredell County Board of
Commissioners. The county manager suggested that the board acknowledge that the plans have been
received. The State wants the Board to comment on a funding schedule for the needs, which is to be
attached to the copies of the needs list that is being sent to Raleigh. The county manager sugges-~-
ted that the board state that it does not have a funding schedule, but that the board is planning to
meet on February 2, 1987 to talk about the possibility of a school bond for capital needs. When the
board has a plan, it will be forwarded to the State.
Chairman Hedrick said there was over $50 million in the requests from the three schools.

CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick
INVOCATION: Silent Prayer in Memory of William R. Whittenton,
Jr., Former City of Statesville Attorney, who died
on January 28, 1987.
Chairman Hedrick recognized members of the school board, Superintendent Williams, and assistant
superintendents. Mrs. Dorothy Reep, chairman of the school board, spoke briefly and turned the
discussion over to Superintendent Williams.
Dr. Williams said his board came in a spirit of cooperation and spoke briefly about the goals
of the school board and staff. He raised questions such as: (1) Is there a need to improve
facilities? (2) How do you pay for it? Property tax? Sales tax? He then recognized Dr. Ivey,
who is responsible for the school auxiliary services. Dr. Ivey discussed at length the Capital
Outlay Needs and estimated costs as laid out in their Phase I and Phase II as presented to the
county commissioners. The total cost of the entire project is $25,488,009.
In discussing the building of anew South Iredell High School, which was listed at $8 million,
Chairman Hedrick said he believed that it would be more like $10 to $12 million rather than $8
million.
The question was raised by the school board of how much a school bond indebtedness would be
incurred if the schools used the sales tax funds that are allocated to the school system to repay
the bond.
A question was raised by Commissioner Stewart if the school board intended to fund all the
items included on the list presented, which totaled $25,480,000, in the bond issue. Certain items
such as buses, roof repairs, etc., which are short-life items, would not be practical on a bond
issue, Commissioner Stewart said.
Dr. Williams asked if there was no bond, how should the Mt. Mourne, Troutman and East
Elementary School situations be addressed. He said that he believed the success of a bond referen-
dum would depend on the support of the county commissioners.
Chairman Hedrick said he believed the school at Troutman, sewer at Mt. Mourne, and East Elemen-
tary wing were needed. He also addressed the most recent policy of funding special capital on a per
capita basis for all three school systems.
Dr. Williams inquired if they were capable of repaying $300,000 to $350,000 annually, how much
money could they borrow over a 20-year period and repay without an ad valorem increase.
After further discussion, Chairman Hedrick said this would be approximately a $9 million bond
for the Iredell County Schools and $14 million overall.
Dr. Williams inquired how much 1¢ on the ad valorem tax base brought in. It was stated that
one penny on the ad valorem tax rate would yield $275,000 in revenues.
739
740
Commissioner Stewart said she would like to see the board of education and the superintendents _
present the county commissioners with a list of needs and dollar amounts that they could back up
when asking the county commissioners to fund a bond referendum.
After further discussion, Dr. Williams thanked the board of commissioners and said he wished to
re-emphasize the need to cooperate and work together as a team in order to get a referendum to pass.
Chairman Reep said they wanted the county commissioners' wholehearted support.
Chairman Hedrick said he totally backed what was presented to the board at this meeting with
the exception of South High School and the North Middle School.

NON-OWNER PETITION - RESIDENTS OF LAUREL COVE, NON-OWNER REQUEST OF REZONING FROM R/A TO R/20:
Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director, identified this property on the Iredell County Zoning Map. Of a
possible 24 signatures 14 have been obtained on a petition and one verbal agreement has been re-
ceived by staff in favor of this rezoning. The property is located on SR 1437, Laurel Cove Road,
near the Catawba River. The planning board recommended approval of this request, which has already
been approved as to appropriateness by both the planning board and the county commissioners.
After inquiry by Chairman Hedrick, no one present spoke for or against the petition.
TOMMY B. LANCASTER PROPERTY, B. F. LANCASTER, AGENT: Mr. Jerry Lundy, Planning Director,
identified this property on the Iredell County Zoning Map. The request is for property located on
NC 150W at Big Daddy's Restaurant to be rezoned from R/A & N/B to G/B. The proposed use is for boat
sales and services. The planning board unanimously recommended the rezoning, with the exception of
a 50' portion at the rear of the property which is to provide a buffer area between this property
and the adjoining property. The 50' strip would remain residential, Mr. Lundy said.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Hedrick, no one spoke for or against the rezoning request.
CLOSING OF A PORTION OF S. R. 1835: Mr. Charles Campbell, a representative of the Department
of Transportation, was present to discuss the relocation of a portion of S. R. 1835, which is being

RECREATION DEPARTMENT - MATCHING GRANTS: Mr. Jim Wall, Recreation Director, brought the
matching grants requests before the board. The grants had been recommended by the Recreation
Advisory Board.
A total of $35,000 was allocated in the 1986-87 budget for matching grants. There was a total
of $38,855 requested in matching grant funds. Of this amount $11,444 was requested for maintenance.
Mr. Wall presented a method of funding the matching grants and the maintenance which would
leave a balance of $8,190 in the matching funds line item.
A question was raised about Ebenezer School requesting $2,500 in matching funds for paving of a
parking lot. The board felt the money could be used better in another project rather than for a
parking lot. Dr. Peggy Gray, Ebenezer School principal, was contacted; and she said they could find
other uses for the funds which would be more in keeping with the recreational programs.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to expend $11,445 out of the Maintenance line item and $23,000 out
of the matching grants line item. This leaves $8,190 remaining in matching grants line item to be
considered at another time.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES - COMPENSATION FOR EMERGENCY ON-DUTY CALLS:
Mr. Don Wall, Director of the Department of Social Services, presented the board with a request for
funding for compensation for certain members of the staff who have on-duty calls on weekends and
holidays. Mr. Wall also gave information showing how surrounding counties handled compensation for
this responsibility.
Certain employees who work in the area of adoption, foster care, and workfare, and work a
normal 40-hour week are required to be on call for emergencies on the weekend. This means that the
employees must remain in touch with the telephone and within the area. More and more counties are
recognizing the need to provide extra compensation for this essential and mandated service, Mr. Wall
said.
\ il
ib
|
The board and the county manager had discussed other departments who have similar responsibili-
ties and said it was essential that all employees be treated equally.
Mr. Wall gave the board three options and recommended an Option #1, which is also recommended
by the social services board. Option #1 provides for the employee to be granted a designated day
off for a week on call (example: Friday after week on call) plus hour for hour compensatory time
— time actually worked. In addition, the employee be granted one-half day off for each holiday on
call.
The county manager, Mr. Deal, recommended that the board wait until the next meeting and give
him time to look at the other departments who are similar to this.
Chairman Hedrick suggested that they also look at Option #2, which is compensation to be paid
at a flat rate of $100 for each week on call plus hour-for-hour compensatory time for time actually
work. The employee would also be granted one-half day off for each holiday on call.
NO BOARD ACTION.

of Commissioners on this committee. There were no other nominations.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to close the nominations and appoint Mr. Holshouser by acclama-
tion.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Chairman Hedrick suggested that it might be good to appoint the county manager as an ad hoc
member of this committee (without voting privileges) and that the clerk to the board send out
notices of periodic meetings of the committee. Chairman Hedrick said he thought the committee
should meet periodically just to remind themselves of their duty and to keep abreast of what is
going on.

positions were deleted from the 1986-87 budget when Care-A-Van assumed the convalescent service. It

convalescent service. This would provide one convalescent unit in Statesville and one in
Mooresville.
The two units would operate on a forty-hour week schedule, taking the weekends and holidays off
just as regular county employees do. Commissioner Stewart inquired about the rates for this ser-
vice, Would it be the same as before? Mr. Fleming said in the near future he was coming to the

amendment to the board not to exceed $28,200.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK RESOLUTION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following resolu- tion:
COUNTY GOVERNMENT WEEK
1987
North Carolina county government has served the citizens of the state since 1663 when the County of Albemarle was authorized by King Charles II. Today there are 100 counties in North Carolina providing services to more than six million people. As the population has increased and service needs have undergone major changes, the role of county government has evolved to meet these demands.
Counties are active partners in the governmental structure of this state and the nation. They are responsible for a growing numer of services, including social services, health care, mental health, libraries, veteran's services, tax assessment and collection, planning and zoning, parks and recreation, water and sewer services, ambulance services, sheriff's departments, deed registration, building inspection, and agricultural extension. They also provide funding for local schools.
County officials remain dedicated to providing as many of the needed services as possible, without placing an undue burden on local taxpayers.

CONTRACT WITH W. K. DICKSON TO PERFORM ENGINEERING WORK FOR THE WATER LINE EXTENSION TO NORTH
IREDELL HIGH SCHOOL: This matter was presented to the board by the County Manager. W. K. Dickson
is the engineer that represents Iredell Water Corporation, who is bidding work at the present time
in the North Iredell School area. The County has committed to finance the extension of the water
line to North Iredell] High School, and the project is being funded by 50% Senate Bill #2 funds and a
match from County funds. Because of the nature of the funding, it is necessary that the County bid
the work and own the line.
It is recommended that this would be an opportune time to bid the North Iredell High School
line since Iredell Water Corporation is bidding work in the area and it is thought that by combining
the bidding time with the Iredell Water Corporation bidding time, even though it would be separate
bidding, better bids would be received.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to approve the contract with W. K. Dickson for the engi-
neering work on the water line extension to North Iredell High School, subject to approval of the
i
contract by the County Attorney.

MANAGER'S REPORT
MEETING WITH LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION: Mr. Deal discussed a meeting time with the legislators
regarding legislation of interest to the County. He is especially interested in having legislation
passed to change the notification of property owners of zoning changes, which presently requires
that each individual property owner be notified of a proposed zoning change. This means that if the
County went with county-wide zoning, each property owner in the county could have to be notified by
first-class mail at the latest address listed in the tax office. (G.S.153A-343)
After discussing this further, it was the consensus that a commissioner and the county manager
should go to Raleigh and sit down with the legislators and work out this problem.
LEGISLATION REGARDING PAWN SHOPS OUTSIDE CORPORATE LIMITS IN IREDELL COUNTY: Chairman Hedrick
asked the status of this matter which was on the February 23, 1987 agenda. The county manager said
