Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Lois Troutman, Tax Supervisor Joe Ketchie, Tax Collector Jim Wall, Recreation Director CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick INVOCATION: By Chairman Hedrick SAVE THE FAMILY FARM ACT RESOLUTION: This item has been on the agenda previously and has been delayed until further study could be made of the resolution. Additional resolutions were adopted by the NACo delegation at the Legislative Conference in Washington just lask week. Mr. Clyde Thomas, Mr. George McAuley, and Mr. Edward Elam, farmers in Iredell County, representing the United Farmers Organization, were present to discuss the resolution and to ask the board to consider adoption. Mr. Thomas said the United Farmers Organization has a chapter of 110-120 members in Iredell County who are mostly full-time farmers. The "Save The Family Farm Act" addresses full-time farm- ers. The main objective of the bill is to increase prices of farm commodities. Chairman Hedrick inquired if this was the bill that is in committee that was introduced by Representative Gerhart and others. There are others who will benefit from it also, such as price of farmland, which will assist the credit system for financing farming. Mr. Thomas said again that the bill was mainly for overall farm prices. There are some parts of the bill that he is not in favor of, he said, but mainly this is the best legislation that has been presented for the Family Farm. This bill would increase the cost of food, but at the same time more assistance would be given to those who received food stamp assistance. The subsidies now paid for agriculture was $32 billion in 1986. These subsidies would be cut out as the bill is in place, Mr. Thomas said. To balance the over-production, the farmers would voluntarily go into a program to set aside acreage for which they would not be paid. Mr. George McAuley said he sold wheat in 1952 for $3.05/bu. and now he receives $2.60bu. A loaf of bread in 1952 was approximately 25¢ to 30¢. Now a loaf of bread costs approximately $1. \ i i -. Mr. Thomas said if a dairyman decided not to participate in the program and grew his own feed, it would not affect him unless he decided to sell produce. Chairman Hedrick said he thought in some form the board should ask the congress to assist the farmers with some relief. After some discussion about this bill, the board asked the County Attor- ney to draft a resolution that would be appropriate for the board to adopt. It was decided that the board would move on to other business and return to this matter later on in the meeting after the County Attorney had time to draw such a resolution. DISCUSSION OF ELECTION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND VOTING DISTRICTS: Mr. Willie Williams was present to discuss the election of county commissioners by voting districts. Mr. Williams said his questions had already been answered by the board, which were about what progress was being made in reference to this matter. Chairman Hedrick referred to the study that is being done by Centralina Council of Governments on this matter, which is to be finished by April 1st. The study is on target, Chairman Hedrick said, and he asked the clerk to the board to contact Mr. Williams when we received the finished report from Centralina. The study will be on the agenda at a future date after completion. RESCUE SQUAD CERTIFICATION: Chairman Hedrick said this matter had been scheduled from a previous meeting. Mr. Deal said he believed what the rescue squads were asking was that the county commissioners set and maintain standards on rescue squads in Iredell County. Mr. Tommy Loftin was present to discuss this matter with the board. He referred to the Asso- ciation of Rescue Squads in Iredell County. This association consists of all rescue squads in the county. They are concerned if another group wished to form a squad, that they might not be working at the same level of service and with the same equipment that they rescue squads presently have. Chairman Hedrick inquired about the legal ramifications if the county board of commissioners were to set such standards. Mr. Bill Pope said that adoption of standards and then the violation of those standards has been held by the courts to be considered negligence. Commissioner Stewart said she did not understand how the board could create standards for something over which the board has no control. The county manager said the only involvement the board has at the present time is to give them a contribution. In discussing the matter, it was established that the State did not set regulations, and Chairman Hedrick said he wondered if the board should not contact the state legislators and see if there is not something that should be adopted state-wide. After further conversation, MOTION was made by Commissioner Murdock that the board accept this as information and that the list of items of equipment be kept on file at all times and used as a guideline for other groups who may want to form a rescue squad. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Commissioner Murdock complimented Mr. Loftin and the other members of the rescue squad for the work they do. The other board members concurred with this compliment. The following is the list of equipment: A certified ambulance Eight (8) members at least eighteen (18) years of age, certified as Emergency Medical Technicians Other members should be certified Ambulance Attendants for First Responders (through a community college) Minimum of thirty-six (36) hours of training in a twelve (12) month period.

DISCUSSION OF SCHOOL FUNDING: Chairman Hedrick and the other boarfd members discussed the proposed bond issue for the three school systems. It was the consensus of the board that none of the items in the lists from the Iredell County School system should be included in a bond issue if the item impaired the possibility of a merget of the school systems in the near future of any two or more systems in Iredell County. Ez 759 . . The amount of funds being requested by the Iredell County Schools is $10.4 million. “ Commissioner Murdock inquired if this included the Troutman Elementary School, the Mt. Mourne sewer system, and the East Elementary School changes. The Iredell County School system was also requesting a letter of commitment from Iredell County regarding these three projects so that work could begin on them prior to a bond referendum. Commissioner Murdock inquired about the funding of capital for the other two school systems. Chairman Hedrick said there would be equal sharing among the three systems for the bond issue. The county commissioners and county manager agreed that it would not be wise to include certain items on the list from the Iredell County Schools. Mr. Deal suggested that the list should be studied with the officials at the Local Government Commission and get their opinion on whether it would be advantageous to include certain things in a bond package. The county manager was to meet with the Local Government officals to discuss the county schools' list. Chairman Hedrick and the other board members directed the county manager to move as quickly as possible to pursue this matter with the Local Government Commission in reference to what items should be deleted from the list and also to contact the other two school systems to determine their interests for the bond issue.

REMARKS BY CHAIRMAN HEDRICK REGARDING THE IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION EXPANSION: "I have been contacted by Representative Lois Walker asking the position of our board on the proposed legislation to expand the membership of the Iredell County Board of Education. Some of you may have been contacted or may have heard on the news that Representative Walker is asking for our position on this matter. "Due to the fact that the General Assembly's deadline for local bills is April 15, any official response from this board to Representative Walker must be made at this meeting. "After much thought, I feel that we are not in a position to comment on this matter. My reasons are as follows: (1) I personally feel that governance of the Iredel!? County School Board is a matter for that board. (2) Until the proposed legislation has been drafted, I feel it premature for us to comment. However, if the legislation to be drafted contains provisions that would in any way hinder possible school consolidation, I would not favor it." Commissioner Ostwalt said he shared this opinion. DISCUSSION OF A PROPOSED LIMITED SPEED LIMIT FOR MURDOCK ROAD: Commissioner Murdock said she had been contacted by some of the people who live on Murdock Road requesting that consideration be given to lowering the speed limit on this road to 35 m.p.h. There are some hazardous turns and blind intersections that can be quite dangerous. Commissioner Murdock requested that the Clerk to the Board contact the Department of Transportation Board member and Mr, Charles Campbell about the procedures that should be taken to get this speed limit lowered to 35 m.p.h. Mr. Bob Jenkins in Shelby should also be contacted. A report at the next board meeting is requested.

The request is to rezone property located on SR 1474, Bluefield Road, off NC 150 near I-77, from RA to GB(CUD). Proposed use is any or all uses in GB District. The planning board recommended approval on a 7-1 vote. Mr. Lundy said the Conditional Use was placed on the rezoning request by the planning depart- ment because of the condition of sufficient right-of-way to be dedicated for the proposed road leading to NC 150 depicted on the sketch submitted. Communication with the Department of Transpor- tation has revealed that this conditional use will not be necesssary and can be omitted from the request for rezoning.

This situation has been worked out with the Department of Transportation, and it will not be necessary to place the Conditional Use on the rezoning. The same argument listed above was to apply to this rezoning request. Mr. Jones, attorney representing these owners, said the property is continguous to the property already zoned.

RESOLUTION FROM ROCKINGHAM COUNTY REGARDING OPPOSITION TO H. B. 1204: This resolution of opposition to H. B. 1204 was discussed by the board. The County Attorney, Mr. William P. Pope, said he had read the resolution and explained the Chapter 162A allows the creating of water and sewer authorities and gives condemnation power. Before condemnation power is exercised, they have to appear before the State's Water Conservation Board to get permission. This bill would eliminate the requirement of appearing before this board and makes it easier to condemn property for water rights. He said it appears that Rockingham County's concern is that Guilford is going to come up into Rockingham County and condemn land and water rights and take water from Rockingham County. In applying this to Iredell County, he said he did not have enough information about water courses in Iredell to know if the County could be jeopardized in any way by some other county in taking water out of one of the Iredell County streams. If so, then the board should oppose this HB 1204. Commissioner Crosswhite said there is another county that is interest in acquiring some of Iredell County's water. She said she thought the board should support Rockingham County's request, as it would also be in line with what Iredell might need to have available later on. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to support Rockingham County and adopt a resolution of opposition to H. B. 1204, stated as follows: RESOLUTION OF IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL #1204 WHEREAS, THE Board of Commissioners of Iredell County has received information as to the introduction of HB 1204 in the General Assembly of North Carolina by Representative Lineberry of vagy Guilford County, and WHEREAS, the stated purpose of the said bill is to repeal Section 162A-7 of the North Carolina General Statutes and gives no further indication of its real purpose, and WHEREAS, 162A-7 sets out a number of protections of paramount importance to Iredell County and its citizens in matters relating to the taking of water, water rights, and land having water rights under the power of eiminent domain, and WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Board of Commissioners of Iredell! County that the action of the Representative from Guilford County in filina the said House Bill 1204, is not the kind of action that should be taken by the larger counties of North Carolina and can only be deterimental to the smaller neighbors of such large counties, and WHEREAS, it is further the opinion of the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County that H. B. 1204 is a flagrant attempt to deprive the citizens of the entire State of North Carolina of rights possessed by them since the founding of this Country and constitutes a danger which should be addressed immediately. NOW, THEREFORE, it is unanimously and unequivocally resolved that the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County is opposed to the enactment of H. B. 1204 and any and all other Bills repealing the rights protected under G. S. 162A-7, and that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to all members of the Legislature who represent Iredell County, asking their support in seeing that H. B. 1204 is defeated.

APPROVED: b he/t£Z IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES JUNE 8, 1987 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in budget session, recessing from the meeting on June 2, 1987, for this meeting. Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Bill Furches, Finance Officer CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick Some opening remarks were made by members of the board. Mr. Ostwalt addressed the recent changes the legislature has made to pay the law enforcement department the 2% for the 401-K retire- ment. This 2% and the 44% salary increase proposed in the budget would result in a 64% salary increase for county employees, which he said was more than "we can stand". Mr. Ostwalt said he was in agreement with the manager that everybody should receive the 2% for 401-K, and not just the sheriff's department, because he believed all the employees should be treated alike. He suggested that the salary increase be decreased to 24%. Commissioner Murdock said the State has not really decided whether there will be 44% plus benefits or 24%. She suggested that this decision not be made until later on in the budget process. Commissioner Crosswhite referred to the increase the City of Statesville's employees were to receive. Mr. Deal said the City was making a lot of major adjustments in their salary plan, and there is more to it than just receiving a 2% across-the-board increase. CAFETERIA PLAN FOR FRINGE BENEFITS: Mr. Bill Furches began to explain the proposed "cafeteria plan" for fringe benefits, which allows employees to choose the benefits they would like to have. These can be paid for from the gross salaries, which will reduce the amount of taxes that will be paid. The county manager said he recommended the plan. After a brief discussion, the board decided to wait until later in the meeting to continue the discussion of this matter. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: The major change in this budget is the salary increase for the county commissioners. This increase will be to $550 for the chairman and $500 for the other four members of the board. Chairman Hedrick inquired how this amount falls with the "norm" in other counties. Mr. Deal said this amount is not out of line. Mr. Hedrick said there is a lot to be said in having a stipend that would not discourage other people from running for office. He said he would like to make it effective "whenever we (the present board) go out of office." Twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) is included in the commissioners’ budget for a codifying the county's ordinance book. Two quotations have been received: one is for $10,000 and the other is for $12,000. The county manager used the higher quotation in this instance. The board requested that this item be moved to the administration budget. RETIREES ON THE HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM: Chairman Hedrick inquired about retired employees 787 ‘788 being able to continue on the county's health insurance program. At the present time they are unable to do so. After a discussion, the manager said he would check into this and see what could be done. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the Commissioners budget with the deletion of the $12,000 for codifying the ordinance books and putting this in the administration budget. Total: $55,584. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. ADMINISTRATION: The $12,000 for codifying the ordinance books was to be placed in this budget. Commissioner Ostwalt restated his thoughts from earlier in the meeting, saying he resented the legislature telling the county commissioners what they have to pay the county employees. Mr. Ostwalt said he agreed with the county manager that all the county employees should receive the 2% for the 401-K. He asked that the salary increase be reduced to 2%. This will in effect give the county employees 44% increase. Commissioners Stewart and Crosswhite said they agreed with Commissioner Ostwalt. Mr. Deal said total salary cost is $6,395,000 appropriated, but this is not necessarily spent. The question was raised if this matter concerning salary increases could be left until the remainder of the budget is finished before the board takes action on this matter. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that at the end of the budget process, before adoption, the board will reconsider the portion of each department's budget pertaining to salaries, wages, and retire- ment, and that decision may require an adjustment of each of the previously approved department's budget in that particular category. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to approve the Administration budget with the inclusion of the $12,000 for the contracted services and subject to the other conditions regarding salaries and fringe benefits as previously stated. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. PERSONNEL: Questions regarding this budget were on the line item, Contracted Services. Mr. Deal explained that some exempt and non-exempt positions in the county needed to be considered for reclassification. Some of these, he said, are jailers and social service workers. Commissioner Stewart inquired why this could not be done in house. Mr. Deal said the personnel director did not have enough time to do all the research necessary to do this job. Mr. Deal stated there were 385 employees. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve this budget. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. BOARD OF ELECTIONS: Commissioner Stewart inquired why the funds for part-time help were raised. Mr. Deal said the number of precincts was raised for 23 to 24, and the state has raised the number of judges required. The budget provides for seven elections. Five are definite and two are possible run-off elections. It was pointed out that the election board members are paid on a per meeting basis at $50 per meeting. The board thought that one run-off election was sufficient, and this would reduce the amount of the budget by $20,000 for a new total of $160,671. Commissioner Stewart inquired about revenues and expenditures from the City of Statesville for the city elections. Mr. Furches said there were no indirect costs involved in the charges made to the city. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the Board of Elections budget at $106,671, subject to the statement made at the beginning of the meeting in reference to salary adjustments. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. FINANCE DEPARTMENT: The Board questioned what the contract services were for. The manager and finance officer stated: auditor, indirect cost service, and to get a rating from Standard & Poor's. The county now has a rating from Moody's, but two ratings will be more advantageous in the bond market. Also Mr. Furches wishes to become certified with the Government Finance Officers. He said this would enhance the county's financial standing in the bond market. Under Capital Expense, he is requesting one lateral file cabinet for payroll. The board, manager, and finance officer discussed the possibility of going with payroll every two weeks. It was stated that this would increase the amount of work in the finance office. He said the payroll clerk now has time to assist in other work. Mr. Furches said the payroll] clerk @ spends a minimum of 1/2 month's work on the payroll. Payroll is not her total function. The finance officer, county manager, and personnel director are concerned with the Fair Labor Standards Act, and for this reason they are considering the bi-weekly payroll. Chairman Hedrick inquired about a payroll! service. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the Finance budget at $242,283, the level presen- ted, subject to the question of salary increase as stated above. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. TAX SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE: There are 10 employees in this department. The budget can be reduced by $8,000, because a contract with Bill Ferris Company that was being carried forward has been paid out in this current year. The new total is $311,579. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve this budget at $311,579, subject the the question of salary increase as stated above. VOTING: Ayes - 5;Nays - 0. TAX COLLECTOR'S BUDGET: Questions were raised about contract services. The manager explained this was for the lock box at Branch Bank & Trust at $10,500, and attorney services (Pete Avery) for collecting delinquent taxes. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the Capital Outlay, and it was explained this is pro- posed for a computer terminal. The collector's office is now using a terminal that belongs to ~ another department. The board discussed the collection rate. Mr. Deal said the rate is over 96%. He wants to work " on collecting the taxes in the year of assessment and collecting the ambulance bills. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about charging off years that are still carried as active, such as personal property taxes for people that cannot be found. Mr. Deal said taxes are carried for ten years. He said they would work up a process to take off insolvent tax bills and present it to the board at a later time. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve this budget at $173,623 with the understanding that the pay increases will be discussed at a later time. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. DATA PROCESSING: A question was raised about the travel expense. Mr. Deal explained this was for training classes. Six thousand six hundred sixty-seven dollars ($6,667) was deleted for contracted services. The $10,000 remaining in the contracted services is for software through different firms. Commissioner Stewart inquired what kind of additional programs are needed on the computer. Mr. Deal said animal control records. The main thing in the future will be the library; that is the next main objective. They may go with a different system, maybe a small specialized system for libraries. The total budget is $193,503 with the reduction of the $6,667 for contracted services. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the budget at $193,503, with the understanding that ed the board will look at the salary increase prior to adoption of the budget. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. LEGAL: Mr. Deal said this budget is based on past experience. He said the County is approach- ing the time, or has already approached the time, when a staff attorney is needed. He suggested an attorney just out of law school. This would not eliminate the need for a county attorney who would advise the board. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired what it would cost of get a staff attorney. Mr. Furches said the county is now spending $18,000 for legal services other than the county attorney. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve the budget at $36,000. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. COURTS: The board discussed the asbestos at the Hall of Justice. Mr. Deal said it is safe unless people go in to make repairs. The cost estimate, which is not in the budget, for removing the asbestos is $990,000. The contracted services are for repair to brick and concrete and for handicapped bathrooms.

APPROVED: bf ii LEZ IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES JUNE 10, 1987 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Adjourned Session for the purpose of budget study, Wednesday, June 10, 1987, 10:30 a.m., County Annex Conference Room, Statesville, NC. Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney (for a portion of the meeting) F. William Furches, Jr., Finance Officer Chairman Hedrick called the meeting to order. The board discussed the resolution pertaining to school consolidation that is being sent to the General Assembly with the request to the Iredell County representatives to place in on the floor for adoption by the Legislature. This matter was to be discussed later on in the meeting. AMBULANCE SERVICE: Mr. Deal said this past year was the first year that the county funded ambulance service for the entire county. The county also took over the convalescent service during mid-year. There are 41 positions in the budget, and one clerical position is being recommended this year. Mr. Furches said there are four sites for ambulance service in the county. Each of these four locations have three separate shifts of employees. The department with all these various locations and shifts is doing a good job with payroll. There are some problems with getting the ambulance bills to the finance office. During the last two weekends the department has average 30 calls per day, which is a signifi- cant increase. Normally calls have been ten to twelve a day. There are a lot of convalescent patients being transported to hospitals out of town, to doctors, etc. Chairman Hedrick inquired about the possibility of an agreement with the hospitals to collect 791 WEL the ambulance bills for a percentage of the collection. After a brief discussion, it was decided that this would not be feasible. Mr. Deal said the tax collector's office does have the power to place a lien on property for uncollected ambulance bills. The ambulance service has now started taking charge cards for ambulance bills, especially for out-of-town persons. Commissioner Murdock inquired about the clerical position, what the person would be doing if there was extra time. Mr. Deal said there were approximately 450 bills a month. The bills are sent out four times before they "forget" about it, Mr. Furches said. Mr. Deal said the clerical position would be classified the same as other clerks, which would be a Clerk IV position. He said he did not think there would be any extra time. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the Capital Outlay Expense in the budget. This is for a pre-fabricated metal building at Harmony. The building will contain two bedrooms and two bathrooms, living, dining, and kitchen area. (Commissioner Stewart entered the meeting at this point: 11:00 a.m.) Commissioner Murdock inquired about the rescue squads. They are being moved to Special Appro- priations. The ambulance fees were discussed. This is one of the areas that the fee study addressed. The cost for an ambulance call is $229, according to the fee study; however, the staff did not feel it was feasible to change this amount. One hundred twenty-five dollars ($125) is recommended as a fee for an ambulance call by staff, which represents approximately one-half the cost for a call. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve this budget with the understanding the changes may be made at a later time on the salary increase percentage. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER: There are eight telecommunicators and a director of this depart- ment, a total of nine persons on the staff. The county manager recommends four telecommunicator #1 positions to be filled during the year if needed when the County takes over the dispatching for Mooresville. He said they were not exactly sure when because of equipment installation and all the things that have to be done to begin dispatching for the sheriff's department. There will be a need of a maximum of four new positions, though. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if Mooresville and Statesville would be charged for the dispatch- ing service. Mr. Deal said this has not been finalized; but in his opinion, there should be a charge. Commissioner Ostwalt said he was in favor of them paying for the service. Commissioner Stewart said she saw no reason to budget for the four positions until they are needed. Commissioner Ostwalt said he did not see anything wrong with budgeting for the positions; just be sure to notify the board when the service begins and the people are hired. Mr. Deal said he recommends budgeting for the four positions, and it could be budgeted to become effective January 1, which would cut the four salaries to six months rather than the amount presently budgeted. This would be a reduction of $27,800 plus fringes, which reduces the budget to $468,992. The board discussed the capital items listed in the budget. It was discussed that additional security is needed for this department. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the budget at the $468,992 level of funding, with the understanding that changes may be made in the salary increases. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 9. ANIMAL CONTROL: The capital outlay in this budget is for an additional building at the animal control site. The cost is estimated at $40,000. Mr. Deal said the building is needed for the upcoming year. The $25,000 budgeted for the building last year was not spent. Part of the salary expense was not expended because the additional personnel was not on board for a full year. Commissioner Stewart asked for an explanation of the additional office. Mr. Deal said that additional office space was needed and additional "runs" for the animals. The board discussed if it would be more economical to add to the present building or to build a separate building. Commissioner Murdock inquired what the income was from the new dog ordinance with the fee structure. Mr. Deal said $30,000 had been collected for fees under this revised ordinance. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve this budget with the understanding that an adjust- ment may be made in salaries at a later time. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. LANDFILL: There are nine positions and two transfer station attendants in this budget, for a total of 11 persons. Two of the positions are 80% of full-time positions. The board discussed the pending approval of the County's new property that adjoins the present landfill, which is needed for future expansion of the landfill. Capital Outlay expense was also discussed. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the Landfill Budget, with the understanding that salary increases would be considered at a later time. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HEALTH SERVICES: The Administration budget, containing 15 positions, was discussed. Capital Outlay expense is for furnace repairs, painting, landscaping, electrical and plumbing work, extermi- nation, and carpet cleaning. The board briefly discussed the revenues received from services rendered in this department. The board decided that it would be better to have the health department director at the meeting on Monday, June 15th, to discuss this budget further. The board decided to have the Department of Social Services director on stand-by during the meeting on Monday; so if he is needed, he will be available. Mr. Bill Pope entered the meeting at this point. RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO SUPPORT A TAX DISTRICT FOR A CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT IN IREDELL COUNTY: Mr. Pope read the resolution that the County Manager had prepared at the direction of Chairman Hedrick in reference to a special tax district for a consolidated school district in the county. Mr. Pope gave his legal approval of the resolution and recommended adoption by the board. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock, second from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following resolu- tion: STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF IREDELL RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Iredell County supports efforts to provide quality and equitable educational opportunities for all Iredell County students; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Iredell County supports current efforts to consider whether consolidation of any two or all three of the county's school systems would be in the best interest of the county's educational delivery systems; and WHEREAS, consolidation of all three systems appears unlikely at this time due to the fact that the Mooresville Graded School District has stated its opposition to being included in any consolida- tion deliberations; and WHEREAS, the level of funding is an important factor in providing quality and equitable educa- tional opportunities; and WHEREAS, consolidation of the Statesville and Iredell County systems would result in unequal funding opportunities due to the fact that the Mooresville Graded School District possess supplemen- tal taxing authority. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commissioners of Iredell County does support supplemental taxing authority for any consolidated school system in Iredell County. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Iredell County's representatives to the North Carolina General Assembly are hereby requested to immediately seek enactment of authority, without a referendum, for the Board of County Commissioners to levy a special supplemental tax for any consolidated school system in Iredell County. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Iredell County's representatives to the North Carolina General Assembly are also hereby requested to seek enactment of legislation providing that should consolida- tion of the Statesville and Iredell County School systems occur, there will be unrestricted mutual exchange of students between the school administrative units in the county.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE: This budget represents 50% of the total cost of the operation 7193 794 of the agricultural extension service. A discussion took place regarding the capital expense for the fairgrounds. The Kiwanis Club would like to do some additional work at the fairgrounds. They are asking for an additional $10,000 beginning with July 1, 1987. There is $3,200 for capital expense at the fairgrounds in the budget. It was decided that funding for the fairgrounds would be left as it is.

There are 19 positions and two part-time positions in this department. The county manager recommends one additional position, which is an assistant director. Commissioner Murdock inquired about an increase in the funding for Mooresville Library. The county manager recommended $15,000 for this item, and an additional $10,000 was requested to be funded by Commissioner Murdock. Commissioner Ostwalt said he thought Mooresville should be given $25,000 for their library. It was decided to take this $10,000 from the “supplies” line item. Commissioner Stewart asked a question about the book mobile, how much service is left in the vehicle. Mr. Deal said it is a fairly new vehicle and has a lot of years left. It still has low mileage. This is a vehicle from the sheriff's department. Most of the time there are two employees who operate it. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the contracted services. Mr. Deal said this are for janitorial services, security, and a magazine service. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt that the $10,000 be added to the Mooresville Library and taken from the Line Item 30, which will reduce that from $120,000 to $110,000, which will still leave the same amount of money in the budget. The salary line item is to be looked at again before adoption of the budget. Commissioner Stewart asked if this would be excluding the capital outlay items. It was decided that approval of this budget would be held up subject to consideration of the capital line items. OTHER FUNDS BUDGET: The board discussed the various items in this budget.

These were the Balloon Works at $3,000, Arts and Science Museum at $5,000, and Mooresville Main Street Program at $7,500. Mr. Deal was asked to check on the Mooresville Main Street Program and see if the County had originally funded the Statesville Main Street Program, so that both agencies would be treated alike.

The purpose of the meeting was for deliberation of the proposed 1987-88 budget. Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Bill Furches, Finance Officer CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick CAPITAL PRIORITIES FOR IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS: The board discussed the three priorities estab- lished by the Iredell County school system, which are: Troutman Elementary, East Iredell and Mt. Mourne. ENGINEERING STUDY FOR WATER AND SEWER BOND REFERENDUM: Commissioner Stewart inquired about funds to pay for the engineering study for a bond referendum for water and sewer. It was pointed out that $25,000 was set aside from the Senate Bill #2 funds for this project. LIBRARY CAPITAL DISCUSSED: Mr. Deal said he had no problem with the board approving the capital outlay funds for the library; however, he wanted to be sure that the expenditures were justified. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to allocate $9,975 for Capital Outlay for the Library, subject to more detailed justification to the county manager. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Stewart ) STATESVILLE AIRPORT: The board concurred with leaving the level of funding for the Statesville Airport at the $5,000 amount. Chairman Hedrick said next year the board may look at a contribution of some size. The improved airport terminal will enhance the business community. JUBILEE HOUSE: MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to leave this budget as it is. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SCHOOLS: The board discussed the $800,000 proposed for a capital reserve to be used in conjunction with consolidation of the school systems. Commissioner Crosswhite said she had problems with the $800,000 with no specific plan of spending this. She said if consolidation is accomplished this year, there would not be time to totally implement it. 803 804 Mr. Deal said this board has gone on record in supporting talks of consolidation. He said one of the main items of discussion with the school officials in the consolidation talks has been the level of funding. He said the Statesville City Schools said that was one of their major concerns about consolidation. He said there was no doubt in his mind that it is going to require a substan- tial increase in the funding level that we now provide in current expense. One of the reservations about consolidation is whether or not the commissioners are willing to provide that additional money. He said in his opinion this is the way for the board to make a statement, and it is a policy statement more than a money statement, that you are willing to seriously look at the funding level that you now provide in current expense. This $800,000 is not all that will be needed, Mr. Deal said, but it is a way to stress consoli- dation without turning the money over to the schools. It would be held in a special reserve. It would be a separate fund. It would be your discretion when and if you would release it. The way it is proposed you would not release any of this money until such time as consolidation is in place and you would need it. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if in a taxing district under this program, would Mooresville area also be taxed. If these funds were set aside this year, what about the following year? Mr. Deal said that it would be completely the board's option. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about a vote of the people for consolidation. Commissioner Stewart said the board is increasing taxpayers' taxes this year and that 24 or 3 cents of that money is going to be put in this special appropriation fund until we see whether they are going to consolidate. She said she had trouble raising taxes for this fund. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if there was not money in the fund balance for this. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired how that $800,000 is going to realistically accomplish consolida- tion. He said it would not do it. Chairman Hedrick said it is going to take "backbone" to do this. He said the survey by the Statesville Chamber of Commerce shows that 90% think that consolidation is in the best interest. This amount represents $2.40 per year on the $100 valuation. There are 16,000 children in the county that are going to be "held hostage" if it is not done. He said if the schools do not consolidate, the county is going to be looking at more expensive capital outlay. Commissioner Crosswhite said she was not arguing consolidation, she was arguing the tool that is going to be used. Mr. Furches said the fire tax should be looked at as a user fee. Commissioner Stewart said she would be in favor of it if taxes could be reduced next year if consolidation doesn't occur. Commissioner Ostwalt said taxes should be reduced by that much if consolidation doesn't occur. He said he had never seen it go back. Commissioner Murdock said hypothetically if the school consolidation came about, and the money was taken from fund balance as suggested by Commissioners Stewart and Crosswhite, would that leave the fund balance in a dangerous area. Mr. Furches said there was $4.7 million in fund balance, $1.9 of the fund balance will be appropriated in the 87-88 budget, which leaves $2.8 million. With some other adjustments he men- tioned this would leave the fund balance at $2.35 million. The Local Government Commission recom- mends a minimum of 8% fund balance. He drew a graph on the board showing the county's cash flow. Taking the $800,000 from the fund balance would leave $1.55, he said, and this would be a 5.3% fund balance, lower than the recommended amount. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if every year there was not a fund balance remaining in the budget, because the revenues were greater than the expenditures. Mr. Furches said the board is very close to spending 100% of the budget. Chairman Hedrick said the questions were: (1) Is the board in agreement that there need to be a school consolidation fund? (2) How much? (3) Where from? (4) Should the board consider a referendum? Commissioner Stewart said she would like to see the board have a vote. Commissioner Murdock said it should be made a binding referendum. Chairman Hedrick mentioned a 1988 referendum. Mr. Deal said a lot of work is going to have to be done. Commissioner Crosswhite said it should be held at the school board election . Commissioner Stewart said the school board election would be a good place to put it. Commissioner Ostwalt said the board should decide what they are going to do on the $800,000. Commissioner Stewart said she thought it should be tied to a referendum. Chairman Hedrick said he thought the board is going to make a mistake if they don't appropriate some amount of money. Commissioner Ostwalt said he did not see any source other than tax. The referendum should be a part of the motion. Commissioner Murdock inquired if the board does not put in money, in three to five years if consolidation comes about, how much would the taxes have to be raised at that time? Chairman Hedrick said if the board started September 1 of this year, the board would be making a statement that you believe in consolidation. Mr. Furches said in response to Commissioner Murdock's question about the fund, that the $800,000 would be a sub-fund of the general fund. Conditions would be set out about the fund. It would be shown on the financial statement. Mr. Deal said %800,000 represents $50 per student in current expense. Commissioner Stewart requested that the board not take a vote today. Commissioner Murdock said the people she talked to are urging consolidation and to put back this $800,000. She said she had more calls on this than anything since she has been on the board. Chairman Hedrick said the board meets again at 9:00 a.m. on Monday. WATER AND SEWER: Mr. Deal explained this is an enterprise fund. GARAGE: The county wrecker would be a service truck, It would be used a lot by the maintenance, for moving heavy items like at the landfill, and would be used for landscaping. There are three positions at the garage. One new position would make the fourth. Commissioner Stewart inquired about outside labor. Mr. Furches said air conditioning on the cars, for which the county garage is not equipped. Welding is an outside labor, but mostly it is air conditioning. MOTION to approve the budget as presented, subject to salary change. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. DEBT SERVICE: Mr. Furches said the Debt Service Account is required by law. This is capita- lized leases, lease-payments. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve the Debt Service Fund. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. WATER AND SEWER: MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. RECREATION: Mr. Deal said this budget is an overall reduction over last year. There is a slight increase in summer staff. The Recreation Department requested an additional position, which he did not recomend. Other functions did not change. Regarding the Babe Ruth Field, the county is not at the present time ready to get into the ownership of recreation facility. $20,000 was removed from the matching grants. They have about met all the requests for matching grants. Chairman Hedrick inquired about the price of a desk listed in the capital expenditures. Mr. Deal said he thought this is more than a desk, it is a work area instead of a desk. Chairman Hedrick inquired about user fee increases. Mr. Deal said the maximum the study showed would be a $17,000 increase. There is no program that is self-supporting, he said. Mr. Deal said there were four employees in this department, one director, two program direc- tors, and one secretary. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about the $10,000 for travel. Mr. Deal said this is for buses, staff travel, camp field trips, etc. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about $20,000 for maintenance and repair of buildings. Mr. Deal said this is for fertilization of ball fields, jogging trails, and recreational fields. Commis- sioner Stewart inquired about departmental supplies. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about $686 for dues and subscriptions. Mr. Deal explained the various subscriptions the department has. Commissioner Murdock inquired about insurance and bonds. Mr. Furches said this is covered by the county policy. Chairman Hedrick inquired about contracted services. Mr. Deal said this includes the ropes course facilitators. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired how much was spent for uniforms. Mr. Furches said he thought this is mainly trophies and tee-shirts. Commissioner Stewart asked for a breakdown on supplies, line item 41. Chairman Hedrick said whatever the board approves in the recreation department should be in keeping with the philosophy of self-supporting. He thought the youth programs are the main priority, and the adult programs should be completely self-supporting. The county manager said he would get information on the supplies line item, a breakdown of purchases made during the past year, and bring it to the board at the next budget hearing on Monday. 805 806 Chairman Hedrick left the meeting at this point: Time: 11:55 a.m. YOUTH HOME: MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to adopt as presented. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. Mr. Deal said there is a lot of work for the staff to do in regard to the salary adjustment. He requested that the board consider the salary increases as soon as possible so that they staff could begin working on this for the budget.

Wayne Deal, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES: The board began the budget session by discus- sing the health insurance coverage for the county employees. Mr. Deal said the county provides health insurance for the individual employee at no cost to the employee. The employee pays full cost for dependent coverage. The county's contribution is $72.92 month ($875/year) for each emplo- yee's insurance. DISCUSSION OF PAY INCREASES FOR EMPLOYEES: Mr. Deal commented about the City of Statesville's plan for salary increases in the 87-88 budget year. He said as a matter of comparison the City did a three per cent upgrade in their salary plan. They gave a two per cent across-the-board and three per cent in merit. This is a total of eight per cent. The county budget proposes 44 per cent across-the-board increase, 24 per cent merit, and 24 per cent 401-K, for a total of 94 per cent. The city contributes 6.9 per cent to retirement. The county contributes 5.6 per cent to the retire- ment plan. Mr. Deal said the city's plan averages 15 per cent higher than the county's plan. He explained the county's merit plan. HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUDGET: The board discussed the health department's budget. The board members are paid $15 per meeting plus mileage. The line item of "Maintenance and Repair, Buildings" was discussed. Mr. Deal said there were funds in this line item for insulation at the health department at $2,000 and $7,000 for painting at the health department. This $7,000 is for paint only. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to cut out the insulation at $2,000. VOTING: Ayes - 2 (Crosswhite, Stewart); Nays - 3 (Ostwalt, Murdock, Hedrick). Commissioner Murdock inquired about the amount of $5,800 for dues and subscriptions, and Chairman Hedrick inquired about the contracted services at $18,200. Mr. Deal said the $18,200 is for janitorial services contract approved by the board. He also gave justification of the expendi- ture for dues and subscriptions. Mr. Deal said there were no new positions in this department except in the home health service. Commissioner Crosswhite mentioned the school nurse which is currently budgeted at one-half time. In the proposed budget, this position has been made full-time and one additional school nurse was added. Mr. Deal said the Basic Education Program by the State says the State will provide the school nurse. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about the general nursing salary line item. He asked how many positions were budgeted for $330,000. Commissioner Murdock inquired why there was such an increase in travel last year. Mr. Deal said the budgeting method has been changed, which makes it appear larger. Chairman Hedrick inquired about the fee increases for the sanitarian department. Mr. Deal said this is one area that fees can be increased. Sixty thousand dollars is presently budgeted for user fees for sanitarians. This has been raised to $144,500. The change in fee structure is not pro- posed to begin until September 1, so that adequate notification can be given. Mr. Deal stated that Allied Health includes laboratory, health education and nutrition pro- grams. The board took a ten-minute break at this time.

Mr. Jim Wall was present to answer questions about these expenditures. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that since there seems to be a slack of matching grants expenses, move to leave it at the estimated expenditure. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Ostwalt). HEALTH DEPARTMENT: The minutes from the board meetings were received and discussed by the board. Chairman Hedrick said he thought the health department budget should be considered at no increase except what the board does for the employees. The county manager cited some exceptions that he thought the board should consider. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to fund the Health Department with the exception of Home Health Care and contract services (which have already been approved) and any programs that the State provides funds for, at the level of 1986-87 budget, with the exception of any across-the-board salary adjustments that will be made for all county employees. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SOCIAL SERVICES: The board reviewed the social services budget. Mr. Deal said there are 79 positions in this department. The proposed budget includes three additional positions, two of which are classified as Social Worker #2 positions and one for the child support agency. Mr. Deal ex- plained that the child support agency (IV-D) is self-supporting. With the additional employee, the agency will still be self-supporting, he said. The total Social Services budget, including all federal, state and county funds is $19,241,319, of which $17,131,585 is federal and state funds. The remaining $2,109,734 (10.9%) is local money. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the Social Services budget as presented, with the understanding that salaries will be adjusted when a decision is made regarding across-the-board increases for all departments. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SCHOOL FUNDING FOR PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION EXPENSE: The county manager had proposed $800,000 in the budget to be set aside in an escrow account to be used in increasing the current expense funding in the event of consolidation of two or more of the three school systems in the county. This increase in funding is proposed to be used to get closer to the state average level of spending for current expense. Chairman Hedrick said at the end of twelve months, if there is no apparent move 80'7 808 toward consolidation, it would be up to the board to continue to fund or take that money and give it back as a tax decrease, put it in the General Fund, or whatever the board decides. Chairman Hedrick said the board had adopted a resolution requesting a supp Imental tax district. He said he had spoken with Senator Howard Bryan, who said it may be necessary to have a referendum to set up a supplemental tax district. Chairman Hedrick said the board may need to consider the possibility of a referendum for a special tax eistrict. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if the purpose of the $800,000 is to facilitate consolidation, and if this is the most effective thing the board could do to bring about consolidation. Chairman Hedrick said in every case where they have talked about consoldiation, about the first thing they want to be done before they would consider consolidation would be to increase funding. The county manager said funding is the most important thing. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if the funds would be spent only if the systems are consoldiated. Chairman Hedrick said this is the first phase. Mr. Deal said the fund would be set up in the budget much like a special reserve for capital construction. None of it would be spent without special action by the board. It must come back to the board before it can be spent. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired what the money would be spent for. Chairman Hedrick replied that it would be for current expense. Commissioner Stewart said she was in favor of consolidation, but was not in favor of setting up the $800,000 fund. Mr. Deal said these funds would be appropriated for current expense on a per pupil basis to all students in the three school systems. He said the law requires that current expense be given on a per pupil basis. Chairman Hedrick drew a graph on the board and explained the per pupil current expense alloca- tion by the county, Statesville, and Mooresville at the present time. The board members discussed the proposed escrow account further. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to appropriate $800,000 to be used for Current Expense for a consolidated school system. If at the end of twelve months from this time, it appears that there is no consolidated school system on the horizon, the board may retract this resolution and return the $800,000 to the citizens in the form of a tax cut. Commissioner Murdock said she thought the board should make preparation for funding this amount so that it will be drawing some interest. In the long run, she said, that interest will be saving our people some money. She said, we cannot take the money out of fund balance without endangering the fiscal wellbeing of the county. VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Hedrick, Ostwalt, Murdock); Nays - 2 (Stewart, Crosswhite). SALARIES FOR THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES: The county manager said an across-the-board increase would affect all people on the staff with the exception of the sheriff, register of deeds, and county manager. The sheriff and register of deeds have been taken care of, he said. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to give 24% across-the-board increase to the county emplo- yees. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to give 24% merit increase to the county employees. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to give the 2% 401-K across the board to all county employees. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BUDGET: MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to put the County Commissioners line item for 001, Fees Paid to Board Members, to what it is for 86-87, which is $13,800. VOTING: Ayes - 2 (Murdock, Hedrick); Nays - 3 (Ostwalt, Stewart, Crosswhite). Chairman Hedrick said he wanted to give his Fee for Board Members to the school funding and asked the county manager to look into this. DISCUSSION OF REVENUES: The board members discussed proposed tax rates. Commissioners Cross- white and Stewart said they would like to see the funding at 43 cents. Chairman Hedrick said he was looking at a probable 44-cent tax rate. He asked the manager to incorporate the user fee schedule into the revenues and bring back revenues based on 45¢ and 44¢. This would be resolved at the meeting on Monday, June 29th, 1:00 p.m., prior to final adoption of the budget ordinance. ADJOURN: Chairman Hedrick adjourned the meeting at 4:40 p.m. Next meeting June 29, 1987, 1:00 p.m., Annex Conference Room. q 7 G7 APPROVED: ~- 7-2 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES JUNE 29, 1987 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Adjourned Session for a budget work session on Monday, June 29, 1987, 1:00 p.m. Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S$. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager Atice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Bill Furches, Finance Officer Others Present: Members of the Iredell County Board of Health and Health Department Staff CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED FY 1987-88 BUDGET: Mr. Deal presented some information to the board members and the press showing a budget based upon a 44-cent tax rate and a budget based upon a 43- cent tax rate. He also gave information showing the carry-over items into the 87-88 budget. Mr. Deal said the $800,000 proposed for funding for schools in the event of consolidation is removed from the budget. It is not reflected in the budget at all, he said. The auditors recommen- ded that this be taken out of the budget, reduce fund balance appropriated by that amount, and adopt a special resolution reserving fund balance in the amount of $800,000. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the fund balance--what it would be at the end of this fiscal year that is closing out, before another budget is appropriated. Mr. Furches said it would be a little less than $4 million. A lot depends on what comes in from sales and intangible taxes, he said. He said once the $800,000 is taken out and fund balance is appropriated into the 87-88 budget, there would be about $2 million. BOARD OF HEALTH ADDRESSES THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Dr. Nicholson and members of the health board came before the board to discuss the recent publicity that the county health board had re- ceived in reference to the health budget. Or. Nicholson said the board of health has twelve members, six health care professionals are on the board. He said this year on the budget they decided that they would have a committee do the work. They took different portions of the health department. Dr. Hunter worked in Home Health. Mrs. Campbell worked in Allied Services, WIC, and Nutrition. Mrs. Houser worked in Preventative Medicine and Nursing. Dr. Absher worked in environmental. Mrs. Crosswhite worked in the administration budget. The committee brought their information to the full board and it was discussed. Mrs. Houser spoke of her role in the budget process. She had worked with Mrs. Massey and others in learning about her particular assignment on the budget. She said she felt there was a lot of time and energy put into the budget. Dr. Hunter said his position in the budget was on the home health. He recommended the schoo} health funds for the nurse. He said he felt that did spend a great deal of time on this budget. They started in January and did it a different way. He gave information about dividing up into the different divisions and went out into the field with the employees to see if the money was being spent wisely. He said the contributions to the formulation of that portion of the budget where made by those who worked in the various divisions. He said they were given the opportunity to take a copy of the budget home and were allowed an opportunity to ask any questions on anything they felt like was out of line. He said if the health board was working at the commissioners' pleasure, then he would be willing to listen to any recommendations that the commissioners have for the future. He said they did have adequate input and adequate opportunity to ask questions. Mrs. Campbell said she agreed with what had been said by the members of the health board who spoke before her. She said she was involved in Allied Health. She met with Mrs. Bullard and worked 809 810 a on the WIC. She sat in on two WIC interviews and went with Paula Troutman on a call. She worked with Linda Hale,who is the Wellness Coordinator. She said the laboratory needs a refrigerator. She attended staff meetings also. Chairman Hedrick said he appreciated their coming. There is a feeling that the board is down on the health department. In the process of going over the budget the board is faced by taxpayers with the charge of maintaining or reducing taxes, and the board sometimes raises questions and looks to Mr. Deal for the answers he can supply. Where there are representatives of the county board on other boards, they usually have a lot of input into that particular budget. It was apparent that the majority of the questions that were raised last Monday were raised basically by the board's representative to the health board. Mr.Hedrick asked Mr. Deal to get copies of minutes of the board of health meetings. There were questions that came up about the health board's actions regarding certain matters in the budget. The minutes were not complete or the meetings were not complete. That raised some questions in Chairman Hedrick's mind. Dr. Nicholson said the process had been going on beforehand. Commissioner Crosswhite said she was judging from her own time spent with the board on the budget. She said she was called to the health department on March 19th at 2:00 p.m. and was shown over the health department and introduced to the staff. That evening the budget was presented to the health board. She felt that she had not had any input in the budget. Dr. Nicholson said they did not expect to get everything they asked for. They felt these new positions were important--the nurses for the public schools. There is one nurse with 16,000 stu- dents in the county. Commissioner Murdock said the school health nurse was one of the matters she had concerns about. She thought that was included in the Basic Education Program. She did not understand if it was included in that, why do you fund it in the health department? Dr. Nicholson said the county school people came to them and asked for the health nurses. Mr. Deal said the health nurses are a part of the Basic School Program. Mr. Mashburn said regardless of this Basic Education Plan, it is the responsibility of the public health department to handle communicable diseases and hepatitis programs. They are still called upon to provide a lot of immunizations. A lot of this is spelled out in the General Statutes for the health department to do. It is just virtually impossible to cover 33 schools and 16,000 students with a part-time school health nurse, he said. They have some people who work in the schools, and Mr. Mashburn named some of these. He said there is still a need for a general school health nurse. He felt the kids were being short-changed. At the same time he said they would work with the schools to use the money that is coming to them to hire a public health nurse. Commissioner Murdock spoke about a line item of "Generalized Nursing" at $12,237. Mr. Mashburn said this was a special state fund to provide services on a formula basis for special treatment services. Most of it goes to the dentist for children who otherwise don't have any way to get the dental work done. Dr. Rogers does some of the work. Some of it is done by Dr. Hunter. Dr. Hunter said the amount is inadequate. The funds always run out. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the nurse who is in school working on an advanced degree. This is why the health department decided last year that since they were paying the tuition for the advanced degree and the salary that an additional position would not be funded. Mr. Mashburn said this tuition was partially underwritten by the county and partially under- written by the State. She received a grant. Chairman Hedrick said he apologized for causing the health department concerns and that the questions messed up the health board's weekend. Commissioner Murdock questioned the generalized nursing. The travel for 1983-84 to 1986-87 was a big jump. She said she noticed it came down quite a bit in 87-88. Mr. Mashburn said last year they combined some of the budgets. The reason the travel looks larger is that it was all in one block. Departments that were combined were Maternal-Child Health, Family Planning, Dental, and Generalized Nursing. Commissioner Murdock inquired about Family Planning. There is also Family Planning at the Social Services Department. Mr. Mashburn said there were counseling and State funds for abortions in the Social services Department. The Health Department program is for contraceptives, education, and preventing of unwanted pregnancies. Commissioner Stewart said when the board is discussing the departmental budgets and come to areas where the commissioners cannot answer questions and Mr. Deal cannot answer these questions, the only place the board can go is to the department. In order for the commissioners to make the best judgments, they have to be able to understand the budget or cannot act on it. She said she would request more than anything else in preparing the budget next year that someone be able to understand the budget better than they have had the opportunity to understand it in the last two years. Mr. Mashburn said they did not introduce any new programs. Mr. Hedrick said in the future the commissioners would like to get with the health department board beforehand. Next year he said the commissioners would be happy to spend as much time as necessary to do a thorough educational job. Again, Mr. Hedrick said for the record that he anologized for any misunderstanding and eny bad light that might have been upon the health board or department. He thanked the health board for the good job the are doing. Mr. Mashburn said the last major program addition was 1981, the WIC program. Essentially the budget in 1988 is the same budget as in 1981. Home Health has expanded. Commissioner Murdock inquired bout dues and subscriptions, if the County pays all the dues and subscriptions. Mr. Mashburn said the County pays for dues and subscriptions for agencies. Any dues for an individual nurse, for example, are paid by the individuals. There may be a conflict of interest if that group is lobbying for something. Commissioner Ostwalt said they did not get the calls he gets regarding keeping the taxes down. It seems that they are expanding their budget by an increased $140,000 more than last year, and he would like to see the board keep the cost of government down. CONTINUATION OF DISCUSSION OF THE BUDGET ORDINANCE: ir. Deal said he had prenared a budget ordinance based on a 43 cent tax rate. The fire tax is 34 cents. He said he believed this ordi- nance was basically accurate; however, he would feel better if he had the time to go back and review all the figures to make sure they are accurate. INTERIM BUDGET ADOPTED: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County that there is hereby adopted an interim budget for the purpose of providing salaries, debt service payments, and the usual ordinary expense of Iredell County, effective July 1, 1987, until the adoption of the 1987-88 budget. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that salaries paid according to this ordinance shall be at the same rate established in the county's 1986-87 budget. ADOPTED, this the 29th day of June 1987. IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS iy 4 Wedeck §/Larry 4. Hedrick, Chairman VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 9. DISCUSSION OF IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS: Chairman Hedrick showed information received from Dr. Williams. The school board is asking the county commissioners for a letter of intent allowing tem to fund the Troutman Elementary School project. They would escrow $800,000 for this project from the upcoming budget year, which would leave $2.2 million coming from two more budgets. Chairman Hedrick said they also answered the questions on what they are going to do with the Mt. Mourne sewage problem. They would not be completed in this year's budget. They would probably attempt to construct East Iredell and some construction at Mt. Mourne. PROPOSED RENOVATION OF OLD COURSTHOUSE AND SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Commissioner Crosswhite gave the board a brief update on the proposed renovation at the old courthouse. She also said the committee comprised of Mrs. Murdock, Mrs. Crosswhite, Mrs. Fortner, and the Sheriff and staff members have met with three architects. Chairman Hedrick requested that this be placed on the mid-July agenda for further discussion.

SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT - DIRECT MAIL ISSUANCE OF FOOD STAMPS: Mr. Deal said during the discussion of the Social Services budget, the board discussed the direct mail service contract. Mr. Deal has spoken with Mr. Wall about the company that provides this service. The company has asked for an increase in their contract amount. They would be willing to continue for another month to give time to get the problem resolved. It was brought out that the Social Services Department could not go back to the post office for this issuance once it was taken from the post office. The only other agency that performs this service is going out of business. It was stated that even if the service could be returned to the post office, it would cost four or five times as much as is presently paid for the service. Mr. Deal said he recommended that the board authorize one month extension of the contract with Cost Containment. After that thirty days, the county will have to negotiate a new contract. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to grant a 30-day extension of the contract with Cost Contain- ment at the current price. - VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF TAX RATES: Commissioners Ostwalt and Stewart said they were in favor of a 43- cent tax rate. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to reduce the $800,000 School Consolidation Fund to $500,000, leave the Water and Sewer Fund as it is so that the board can go on with the Water-Sewer Study. At the same time, the board would be able to put back these items that Mr. Deal has suggested elimina- ting from the budget, and give a 43¢ tax rate. In summarizing, this was stated: ‘ (1) School Consolidation Fund $500,000 (2) Water-Sewer Fund $500,000 (3) Restore cuts Commission Stewart said the County has reached a point in the Water-Sewer Study that the next point would be the engineering survey for a bond referendum. The $25,000 has already been appro- priated from the Senate Bill #2 money. It it is not used for this survey, it would be lost. Commissioner Murdock inquired when was the projected date for holding the water-sewer bond referendum. Commissioner Crosswhite said during the General Election in the fall. VOTING: Ayes - 2 (Crosswhite, Stewart) Nays - 3 (Murdock, Hedrick, Ostwalt) MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to adopt the budget at a 43 cent tax rate, with the recom- mendations given by Mr. Deal. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF SENATE BILL 672, SECTION 4: Commisioner Murdock said she was opposed to this legislation because she felt it was a school board matter.

Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board F. William Furches, Finance Officer CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick DISCUSSION OF THE REQUEST FROM IREDELL COUNTY SCHOOLS FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY FOR THE TROUTMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION: Mr. Deal said he did not believe the board could give the Iredell County School Board a letter of intent and live with it. In the 1987-88 budget they are asking for $1,251,000. In the year 1988-89 this schedule would require an expenditure of $1,749,000. This is $436,674 more than the county commissioners are giving the schools in capital outlay this year. Mr. Deal advised the board that they would have to increase the appropriation to the county schools at least $432,000 just to give these expenditures. The cash flow for 1987-88 for these four payments would be at the end of the year; however, the 1988-89 would be at the beginning of the fiscal year. This $1,000,000 payment would be impossible due to cash flow. Commissioner Crosswhite asked if the board did not think they should wait to see what the General Assembly is going to do about the Capital Projects Bond. Chairman Hedrick requested that the board accept this as information and table until they have an opportunity to get with the Board of Education and have a better understanding. The Board decided they would make arrangements to get with the school board on Wednesday, July 8th, at 1:00 p.m., subject to the school board being able to meet with the county commissioners at this time. ADOPTION OF FY 1987-88 BUDGET: Prior to the adoption of the budget several questions were raised and answered satisfactorily by the county manager. FEE INCREASES: The board discussed the increase in fees as proposed by the recent study. Mr. Deal said the ambulance fee is increased to $120 per call, effective July 1. The increase in sanitation fees needs more time to publicize, he said, and requested that the board make these fees effective September 1. The building inspection fees would be approved at the same time. Building inspection fees are not expected to be more than $25 to $30 higher. Commissioner Murdock inquired why it would be necessary to give more notice regarding the sanitation fees and building inspections fees than for the ambulance calls. She felt advanced warning should be given on the all the fee increases. 813 814 ee Mr. Deal said he could make them all effective September 1. Chairman Hedrick inquired why not August 1. The board consented to begin all fees effective August 1, 1987.

ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOL SYSTEMS, ESCROW FUND: Mr. Deal suggested that if in the 1988-89 budget a major increase is required and the board needs to make an increase in the tax rate, the board might be handicapped if it had obligated itself to a 40-cent tax rate, and he asked that the board consider this in the adoption of the resolution supporting consol- idation of the school systems. Chairman Hedrick said he did not have any problem if an increase is required and it was cut back by the three cents used to support the Consolidation Resolution. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adopt the following resolution: a 81'7 a? ‘= RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Iredell] County Board of Commissioners supports consolidation of two or more of the existing separate school systems located within the County and WHEREAS, pursuant to consolidation the Iredell County Board of Commissioners intends to in- crease funding on a per pupil basis to a level deemed necessary to provide adequate and equitable educational opportunities for Iredell County students; therefore BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County as follows: a.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. 819 820 AMENDMENT TO IREDELL COUNTY SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE: Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, discussed the proposed amendment with the board of commissioners. He said the county commissioners adopted several months ago an ordinance restricting permitting solid waste disposal sites in the county and some other terms defining solid waste. This ordinance prohibits the solid waste sites for the by- products of rendering plants. Holly Farms, Inc. has bought land and proposed to inject the by-product into the soil, but learned that they were unable to do so under the County's new solid waste ordinance. Mr. Pope and Mr. Deal have met with officials of the Holly Farms industries, and a proposed amendment has been drawn to allow Holly Farms to continue their disposal in Iredell County. This amendment would allow Holly Farms to use adjoining property for disposal. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if this waste is ever determined to be hazardous by the health department or other people of the community, does the law allow the county commissioners to cancel this ordinance. Mr. Pope answered his question, saying that the health department has power to stop anything that is a nuisance and clearly has the power to stop anything that is hazardous. Mr. Gene Cartner, a former official of Holly Farms, was present and raised questions about the particular piece of property that Holly Farms plans to use for solid waste injection disposal. He questioned why another property that was formerly under consideration was not being used. He believed the former property to be a better site. He said the waste was not a hazardous material. He mentioned that the property now under consideration was in a flood plain and had a 14% grade, which by State law, could not be tolerated. Mr. Dave Taylor, official of Holly Farms, responded to these questions. He said that approximately 15 acres of the 185 acres being proposed for the site was in a hundred-year flood plain. He also said that the grade was 124%, and that the state would tell them in what areas they aie can and cannot apply the sludge. ' Commissioner Stewart asked why the company would go to the expense of clearing the wooded area to inject when they would use another area and not have to go the the expense of clearing the land. Mr. Taylor responded that this was a 50-year plan and they needed this amount of land to project the plan for that period of time. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired how many acres out of the 185 would be used for disposal. Mr. Taylor said 110 acres. Mr. Glenn Campbell, a neighboring resident of the area, asked why Holly Farms brought the sludge from Wilkes County to Harmony. He said Holly Farms brings in three loads and accumulates one load locally. Chairman Hedrick said the board is in the process of adopting the amendment, and the board is not required to hold a public hearing for this type of ordinance; however, he thought it might be in the best interest to hold one. He inquired if the board could hold a public hearing regarding this matter at the first meeting in August, which would be August 4. Mr. Taylor said they were working within a time frame and it was contingent upon the board's approval of the amendment to the ordinance. After further consideration, it was decided that the board would hold the hearing at the Harmony School Cafeteria, 7:00 p.m., July 16, 1987, for the purpose of hearing the people of the community regarding this proposed amendment. Chairman Hedrick appointed a committee of Commissioners Stewart and Murdock to meet with Mr. Taylor and other citizens of the area and report their findings to the board prior to the meeting on July 16, 1987. He requested the Clerk to the Board to contact the principal at Harmony School and arrange for the meeting and to run a display advertisement to notify the people of the Harmony area of the proposed meeting.

Benfield School Staff: Don Williams Wayne Miller Franklin Ivey Jim Edmiston Chairman Hedrick called the meeting with the Iredell County School Board to order. The discus- sion was centered around the capital needs for the Iredell County school system. Chairman Hedrick said there were concerns about cash for for the proposed construction of the Troutman Elementary School. There was a brief discussion of H.B. 1155, which is presently being discussed in the Legislature. Dr. Williams said there were $8 to $10 million in critical needs throughout the county school system. The first priority is the Troutman Elementary School. Dr. Williams said this is the most urgent and one of the largest projects they have. He said they need to start working on that school. Questions were asked by the county board of commissioners about the present priority assessment. Dr. Williams said that. the Troutman school was .not. more. important that. some of the other needs, but that they:neéded to start’ some piace:‘-He said if they could gét the Troutman project behind them, this is the largest project, and they want to deal with it. Dr. Williams said they had had numerous studies regarding. their needs. They have put this project off for several years because they anticipated that after ‘thé revaluation’ they’ might have more funds. They had talked numerous times about 4 bond referéndum, pares ote The construction would involve 18 classrooms, including kindergarten. They had been told by the State that it would cost approximately $60 s.f. for a total of 4400 s.f. Dr. Williams said the arcthitect nad told them $55 to $56 per s. f. would be more realistic. The total cost is estimated to be $3 million. They may be looking at $2.6 or $2.7 million. Dr. Williams said the Troutman community has been very patient about the school. He thinks it would enhance the Troutman area. The following Cash Flow Projection was prepared by the School officials for presentation to the county commissioners: SOURCE OF FUNDS NEEDS 1987-1988 12/87-6/88 Local Capital Outlay $ 700,000 State (Projection) 700,000 $T, 400, 000 $1,251,000 1988-1989 7/88-12/88 Local Capital Outlay $1,300,000 $1,281,000 State (Projections) 500,000 1/89-3/89 > 76 $7,800,000 $468,000 TOTALS $3,200,000 $3,000,000 sf Pucw 0 - : He" t a eees +9"° - yy a r a (9 Cnn meee.

Mourne multi-purpose room. Dr. Williams said they would not be able to bid before the first of the year on the Troutman project, and they would not be able to break ground before spring. The school officials explained they cash flow projections and needs according the the chart listed above. Dr. Williams said they hoped to have the sale of the Amity School settled by the middle of July. This would be $72,000 in funds for the county school. Mr. Bill. Furches said the only problem will be the period of July through November when the county has a “dry spell" before the tax money begins to come in. Chairman Hedrick said it would be a matter of coordinating the cash flow to accommodate the building project. Further discussion was held regarding the H. B. 1155 and when and how the funds would be distributed. Dr. Williams said very little funds would be needed before April or May of 1988. He said the county would have an additional $100,000 in Capital Outlay funds that is not included in this. Chairman Hedrick inquired about the Mt. Mourne sewage treatment problem, if it was going to be corrected in the next fiscal year. Mr. Franklin Ivey discussed this project. This is one of their first priorities. He said they are getting into the situation where they are going to switch to ‘ nitrofication- fields and will» have to pump on“a-daily basis.» One of the proposats “is to™handle the sewage problem through the Town of Mooresville by attaching to the ‘Mooresville sewage treatment plant and using water and sewer funds for the line to run to the Mooresville plant. Chairman Hedrick this plan needs to be straightened out. He suggested they get best estimates on the cost. Mr. Ivey said Mr. Troy Scoggins gave them: an- estimate of $80,000 to go down’ the back way with a natural outflaw to the lift station pump. -There #s an estimate for engineeritig for ‘$269,000, which increases the size of the line to take care. of> the neighborhood instead of just ‘the sehdol. Commissioner Murdock inquired about a maintenance problem at the primary building at Troutman. She mentioned a termite problem and inquired what are the plans to take care of that. Mr. Ivey said they went through this maintenance two years ago. They lowered ceilings, pain- ted, and renovated restrooms. Dr. Williams said the architects for the Troutman construction would prepare plans to bid by the first of the year, and they would really like to go ahead with the next step. Mr. Furches said they needed to make sure that H.B. 1155 is going to pass. Chairman Hedrick said there is a meeting scheduled for July 16, and the board should definitely have some information by that meeting. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if they planned air conditioning for this building. Dr. Williams said it would be air conditioned. Commissioner Murdock inquired about choosing the architects for the work. Dr. Williams said they had a committee that interviewed eight architectural firms. They looked for a firm with adequate staff, engineer, etc., and looked for a firm that had experience in school building. They chose the company that they considered had the most to offer and the cheapest in terms of fees. The fee was 5.1%, which is a good price. This company was used for the Wayside and Ebenezer multi- purpose rooms, and they were very pleased with the quality of work. Dr. Williams said their primary purpose and concern to the taxpayers is to get a good quality and not have an on-going maintenance problem. 8 is 2 82: Chairman Hedrick thanked the board members and staff for coming to the meeting.

Wayne Deal, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hedrick, and invocation was given by Chairman Hedrick. Chairman Hedrick called the meeting to order and stated that the main purpose of the meeting was to hold the public hearing concerning an amendment to the county's Solid Waste Disposal Ordi- nance. Mr. Hedrick stated that the amendment under consideration would permit Holly Farms (while operating under valid permits) to dispose of sludge by land application on a site contiguous to the s existing rendering plant at Harmony, NC. Mr. Hedrick also stated that the Board had one other item of business that needed to be considered following the public hearing. A motion by Mr. Hedrick and a unanimous vote of the Board was made to enter into a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Mr. Hedrick began the public hearing by asking Mr. Thurman Horne of the North Carolina Depart- ment of Natural Resources to explain the state regulations controlling the permitting and applica- tion of sludge. The Chairman then allowed Holly Farms' representatives to explain the County's proposal for disposing of sludge at the site adjoining the rendering plant. Chairman Hedrick then read into the record a handwritten letter of July 15, 1987, from Mr. Gene Cartner. Mr. Hedrick recognized individuals from the audience who had signed up to speak at the public hearing. Approxiamtely twenty (20) individuals spoke concerning the Holly Farms issue. Following the public hearing, Chairman Hedrick stated that the Board had received a great deal of valuable information both scientific and practical at this meeting. Mr. Hedrick stated that the c Board needed additional time to consider this information prior to making 4a decision that would hopefully be in the best interest of all concerned. Mr. Hedrick stated that after the county commissioners had adequate time to review the information , and to visit the disposal sites, if desired, the board would hold a second meeting in the Harmony area in an effort to make a final decision. Following the fifteen (15) minute recess the Board returned to discuss a recent request of the Iredell County Board of Education for a letter of intent to provide funding for the construction of a new Troutman Elementary School. Commissioner Murdock introduced the following resolution which was unanimously adopted by the board. RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Board of county Commissioners of Iredell] County has authorized and encouraged boards of education in Iredell County to reserve capital outlay funds for future projects; and WHEREAS, the Iredell] County Board of Education has stated its intent to reserve a substantial portion of its 1987-88 capital outlay funds for construction of a new Troutman Elementary School; and ! WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners intends to appropriate for 1988-89 school capital outlay an amount at least equal to the level of appropriation for 1987-88; and WHEREAS, the passage of H.B. 1155 will provide additional funds for school capital outlay needs with these funds becoming available beginning in 1989; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County Commissioners of Iredell County feels comfortable with and supports efforts by the Iredell County Board of Education to proceed with design and receipt of bids for a new Troutman Elementary School.

RELEASE OF PROPERTY FROM DAVIE COUNTY: Mr. Deal, County Manager, said this release of property was discussed at the agenda briefing, and Mr. Pope, County Attorney, was to take a look at it from a legal point of view. At this time Mr. Pope said he talked with Bill Campbell at the Institute of Government about this problem, which is not a unique problem with Iredel] County, he said. It was Mr. Campbell's opinion that if it was clear to both counties that a piece of property is in one county, but the people in the county do not want to be in that county, the legislature would have to draw the lines. The legislators would have to agree, and it might happen then, but the legislators are hesitant to mess with the county lines. The remedy would be to go to the legislature. General Statutes provide some remedies in certain situations where the lines are disputed. It allows the county to jointly pay to have a boundary established, employ a surveyor, and pay the costs. Another alternative is that either county may petition the Superior Court and they will appoint somebody to lay off the line. Mr. Pope said he looked at the Iredell County maps, and based on the map, there is no question, except for one parcel, that it clearly is in Davie County, one property by about 50', some as much as 1,000 feet. He said he didn't have any information that the maps are not accurate. He believed it to be accurate. He said he didn't have any way to prove they they were, but to actually determine the county line would cost a considerable amount, possibly $100,000, which could result in a loss or gain of property to the county. Mr. Pope said another alternative would be to have a flight made of the county line, which would cost $10 to $12 thousand, and then to draw a line between the two corners established from the flight. Commissioner Crosswhite said she would like to see the General Assembly address this situation. If this situation exists all over the state, should encourage the legislators to look into the situation. She suggested that perhaps there could be a grandfather clause enacted if the property has been left in a county for a hundred years. Commissioner Murdock inquired if there was no recourse for these people whose property is presently under consideration. Mr. Pope responded that it could be handled in court. Commissioner Ostwalt said that it should be the responsibility of the government. For a number of years Iredell County has furnished schools, EMS, roads, and police protection to this area. These people have voted and paid taxes in Iredell County. He inquired, What do they have to go to court to prove? If we can petition the Superior Court, the courts of the land should make that decision. The total amount of the taxes received from this property is $1500. He said it was the right of the people in this instance, which is far more important to him than t.ie taxes that come back from it. (Commissioner Ostwalt requested that these remarks be placed on the record.) He said he would make a motion to that effect. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite that in line with Mr. Pope's suggestion that representa- tives from both counties get together and work out some sort of solution. Commissioner Crosswhite said she would be willing to withdraw this motion if the board would authorize the attorney general to give his judgment on it. If this judgment does not resolve anything, then should possibly petition Superior Court. Commissioner Crosswhite also said Representative Walker is having a research person to work on +t; The board discussed having some of the county's officials meet with officials from Davie and Rowan. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to have a committee to meet with Rowan and Davie County. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

(C) The County shall assume the user cost (which cost includes maintenance) of the Division of Criminal Information terminal in the amount of $275.00 (per month) beginning from date of installa- tion. 83'7 838 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the installation of a Division of Criminal Information terminal be and it is hereby formally approved by the Board of Commissioners of Iredel] County, North Carolina, and that the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners (or County Manager) of this County be and they are hereby empowered to Sign and execute the required Agreement between this County and the North Carolina Department of Justice State Bureau of Investigation, Division of Criminal Information. IREDELL COUNTY BICENTENNTIAL YEAR: Commissioner Crosswhite said that November 18, 1988 will be Iredell County's Two Hundredth Year. She Said she thought the board should recognize this occasion and do something to call attention to it. She suggested that a celebration be planned and recommen- ded that the Arts Council, which has access to a number of the arts organizations, be used to head up the celebration. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to appoint the Iredell Arts Council to head up the necessary arrangements for a celebration and that funds in the amount of $1,000 be allocated for this purpose, this being the same amount of the funds allocated for the Constitutional Bicentennial for the current calendar year. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite withdrawn and, following Chairman Hedrick's request, she will ask the Iredell Arts Council come up with a plan and bring it to the board for consideration, at which time the funding will be considered. MANAGER'S REPORT: INSURANCE: Mr. Deal said he, the county attorney, and finance officer have been looking at options on insurance, the option being self-insurance. Mr. Pope, county attorney, discussed the option of self-insurance versus the insurance with Webb Insurance Agency as presently insured. Mr. Pope said that it is a trade off. Using the conventional method of purchasing insurance is transferring the risk to an insurance agency, while self-insurance is pooling funds for sharing risks with other counties. There was considered to be an annual saving of $85,000 in premiums with the self-insurance pool over what is now paid in premiums. Mr. Mike Nashleanas, Fred S. James and Company of the Carolinas, Inc., was present to discuss the self-insurance program. He said the general liability excludes asbestos, water/sewer, and landfill insurance. He showed a slide presentation of how the plan worked. Following Mr. Nashleans' presentation, Mr. Johnny Clark, Webb Insurance Agency, made a presen- tation regarding insurance with his firm. After discussing the amount of Savings, it was learned that the figure of $85,000 saving presented earlier from the finance department was inaccurate, and more time would be needed to come up with the exact amount of Saving between the self-insurance plan and the conventional type insurance coverage with Webb Insurance Agency. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick that the board extend the general liability and property coverage insurance for thirty days and have the actual difference between the two insurance plans established, and asked the board be given the information before the next meeting. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HAZARDOUS WASTE COMMISSION MEETING IN IREDELL COUNTY: Chairman Hedrick gave some dates the hazardous waste commission could meet in Iredell County. A large air-conditioned room that will seat 500 will be needed for this meeting. The board members decided they could meet either Septem- ber 15th or 16th, and Suggested that the county manager work out this time with the state. The date for the hearing would be established for one of these evenings and the county commissioners' meeting would be held on the other evening. RENOVATION OF THE OLD COURTHOUSE: Commissioner Crosswhite called attention to the $25,000 allocation received from the General Assembly for the renovation of the old court house. She also mentioned that $33,884 was to be given to the county in General Revenue Sharing Funds, and thought this could be added to the $25,000 for this project. In discussing this matter, Commissioner Murdock read a letter she received from NACo about a delay in receipt of the funds. Mr. Furches, finance officer, said that it would not be wise to use General Revenue Sharing Funds for a construction project because of the constraints placed upon useage of the funds by the federal government. Commissioner Crosswhite Suggested that the funds necessary for this renovation project be taken from the Capital Projects Fund. The board discussed the overall cost of the project, and it was agreed that more information was needed before the board could take final action. It was suggested that perhaps the $25,000 received from the state could be used for the architectural work necessary to get a firm estimate on the cost of the renovation. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to accept the $25,000 from the State and enter into a contract with Design Associates firm on a contingency fee basis of 6%, with the understanding that if the project is terminated before commencement of the "Construction Documents Phase," the archi- tectural fee will be paid on the hourly rate specified in the contract, not to exceed $25,000. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0, DISCUSSION OF HARMONY EMS BUILDING: Commissioner Murdock said that she thought something should be done about the Harmony EMS station. Chairman Hedrick mentioned the real estate that the . = county owns in the Harmony area. He suggested that the property be sold and it would be more than enough to pay for a new EMS station. Commissioner Murdock asked the county manager to look into this matter and report to the board. GENERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS: Commissioner Murdock referred to the letter received from NACo regarding the General Revenue Sharing Funds and inquired if the board wished her to pursue this and call NACo asking them to support the payment to the counties. The board concurred with following up on this. ITEMS DELETED FROM THE BUDGET: Commissioner Stewart called attention to two matters discussed on the agenda for funding at this meeting that were cut from the budget during the budget workshops. These were the Lake Norman Marine Commission funding and the Harmony EMS station. She expressed concern about the source of funding for these items at this time.

ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF SIMONTON ROAD: This request was made by the State Department of Transportation because of relocation and realignmnet of a portion of Simonton Road. The hearing was advertised on August 17, 1987 in the Statesville Record & Landmark, Legal Notice Section. No responses were received regarding the proposed abandonment. In response to an inquiry made by Chairman Hedrick during the agenda briefing regarding sign placement on Simonton Road at the abandonment site, Mrs. Fortner, Ass't to the Manager, reported that she had visited the site and found the signs to be in place. 839 840 No one spoke at the hearing for or against the proposal. REZONING REQUEST - KENNETH ADKIN PROPERTY: Mr. Lundy identified this property on the zoning map. The request is for rezoning from R-20 to R/A(CUD) in order to expand an existing mobile home park. This park covers approximately five acres, and was grandfathered in when the area was up- graded to R-20 in 1984. The area was rezoned to R-20 upon a petition of approximately 100 people. On August 5, 1987, the planning board recommended approval of the change from R-20 to R/A(CUD) so that the Adkins could increase their mobile home park to fifteen units. Mr. Lundy reported that the staff felt it was inappronriate to change to zoning to R/A(CUD) because the planning board did not have all the information. SPEAKERS ON THIS MATTER WERE: Marvin Bondurant, representing Adkins: Mr. Bondurant said the Adkins purchased the property consisting of approximately five aces in 1965 and have developed a mobile home park. They now have eleven mobile homes; they own ten of these eleven. One mobile home is owned by the individual that is residing in the mobile home. This is the sole income of the Adkins, Mr. Bondurant said. Eight years ago it began to take more time to attend the park, and Mr. Adkins stopped working at public work and is working full time maintaining the mobile home park grounds, etc. The Adkins purchased a twelfth mobile home, and a building permit was refused. They were not aware that they could not put another mobile home in the park. Mr. Bondurant said the desire was not to increase except to a total of fifteen mobile homes, and they would be glad to rezone to a conditional use of not more than fifteen homes. The Adkins propose to own all of the mobile homes. He said the Adkins have strict regulations at their park. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired how many mobile home units are presently located there. Mr. Adkins replied there were eleven; there is one that is not set up. A total of fifteen is requested, he said. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired how could the County make sure that is is limited to 15. Chairman Hedrick inquired if this property was grandfathered when the property was rezoned to R-20 in 1984. He also inquired about Mr. Adkins' signature on the petition for rezoning from R/A to R-20. The following speakers were against the rezoning: Aubrey Boone: Lives on Gilbert Road, 1/2 to 3/4 mile from the trailer park. Owns 60 acres and has been living there since 1971. He objected to any more trailers on the Gilbert Road because of a decrease in land values. He showed photos of some homes in the area. Buck Pressly, Parkers Lake Loop: Against the rezoning to protect property values. Larry Hedrick: Inquired if another area was denied a mobile home park in 1985. Mr. Lundy said this was true. Larry McCaw, not a resident of the area. He is vice president of the North Carolina General Assembly of the Church of God, who owns 120 acres across the road. He said he just realized that this was happening. Said he opposed the rezoning. He read a resolution that the council of his church proposed in opposition to a change or a variance. Willard Deal, lives 1/2 mile from Adkins property on a lot that joins the Boone property. Said he was concerned about development of property. Opposed to rezoning. Six others were present and either stood or raised their hands in opposition to the rezoning request. Marvin Bondurant said when the Adkins purchased their property and these nice homes that are now in the neighborhood were not out there at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Adkins mobile home park was there when they bought those homes. They have had eleven mobile homes for most of those years. He stated again that the Adkins will own their mobile homes. Katie Lou White, lives in the Adkins mobile home park. Said it was a fine place to live. Ivory Boovey. Said his property joins the Adkins property. Is in favor of the trailer going up. Haven't seen places that has mobile homes on it as clean as this one is, he said. Barry Waddell, Bible Baptist Church. His church is located directly across the street. Is in favor of the rezoning request. Mr. Lundy said the original request was for one mobile home. The planning board raised it to 15. He reminded that board that if this mobile home park is expanded, the board will have a tough time denying expansion to others. Bondurant inquired if Mr. Lundy knew of any mobile home park where the owners live in the park and where the owners on all the mobile homes. Mr. Lundy said he did not know of any. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if the R-20 will in any way restrict the church group. Mr. Lundy said he had not way of knowing how it would be affected by the R-20 in general at this time. There were no other comments for or against the rezoning. DENNIS E. & HUGH L. TOMLIN - REQUEST FOR REZONING FOR CONVENIENCE STORE: Mr. Lundy identified this property on the county zoning map. It is located at I-77 and Tomlin Mill Road, some distance from the interstate. ‘? } Those speaking at the hearing were: Dennis Tomlin - petitioner for the rezoning. Frank Gagnon - lives on Jennings Road, 1/2 mile from the proposed change. He is concerned that another convenience store might not be needed in the neighborhood. He referred to the proximity to the high school and the sale of beer, and the proximity to residential area. Dennis Tomlin - said he would sign a statement that he would not sell beer and alcohol. Mr. Lundy said this could not be handled through .the.planning office; it would have to.be. handled through the ABC Board. ba Gee Wi ee ee Mr. Pope, county attorney, said the board might consider an amendment to the zoning ordinance to disallow sale of alcoholic beverages in certain zones. Commissioner Murdock inquired about the first rezoning case (Adkins), the church camp, would that matter have to come before the planning board and commissioners before it is permitted. Mr. Lundy replied it possibly would have to do so. Mr. Dennis Tomlin spoke again regarding his request, saying that he was employed by J. P. Stevens and thought this would be free enterprise, that this was what it was all about. Sarah Robertson - was against the rezoning request. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 55: Mr. Lundy read the proposed.amendment.., ..,; . Peet eee Mr. Clarence White spoke regarding his particular situation and adding a garage. Was against the amendment.

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

MANAGER'S REPORT: Mr. Deal discussed the following items with the board: IREDELL WATER CORPORATION - WATER LINE TO NORTH IREDELL HIGH SCHOOL: On September 1, 1987 (Minute Book III, pp. 843-844), the board took action to award the contract for a water line extension to North Iredell High School. The low bidder was Bell Construction Company. (Note: All bidders are listed in Minute Book III, p. 843.) The motion was made by Chairman Hecrick and unanimously adopted by the board, with a provision that an agreement would be drawn between Iredell County and Iredell Water Corporation for repayment of these fund to the county over a 20-year period at no interest. However, the two entities were unable to immediately reach an agreement for the purposes of the lease. In working out the negotiations, the amount for water meters was deducted from the contract amount. This is to be paid from another source by Iredell Water Corporation. In addition, the county committed to pay for the fire hydrants. This change in price reduced the amount of the contract with Bell Construction to $133,916. Mr. Deal now presented the finished lease agreement between Iredell County and Iredell Water Corporation, and recommended that the board approve this agreement as presented with the addition of a statement that the first payment will be due one year from the date the County accepted the line from the contractor. Mr. Deal stated that Iredell Water Corporation has elected to make twelve monthly payments annually. Mr. Deal discussed the source of funds for this project. Sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) is to come from the Senate Bill #2 funds and the remainder is to come from the county's water and sewer fund. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt to approve the lease agreement with Iredell Water Corporation, subject to the conditions imposed by the county manager and the county attorney. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that the board award the bid for the construction of a water line to Bell Construction Company.

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. STATE GRANT FOR MAPPING: Mr. Deal referred to this item that was on the agenda for October 20, 1987, and was tabled awaiting additional information from staff. Mr. Lundy, planning director, was present and said he had talked with Mr. Don Holloway from the State office, and Mr. Holloway said the State would be flexible in their permit of how the county could use these funds. It was noted that when the County applied for the grant, the proposal was to use the funds for remapping territory that was to be annexed into the City of Statesville; however, since that time Statesville has decided not to annex this territory. Therefore, some other use acceptable to the State must be found for these funds. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that the board accept the grant and negotiate with the State on the use of these funds. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS: Mr. Deal said there were difficulties in some of the county's software programs. He especially mentioned mapping, tax collections, tax supervisor, and inspections departments. He said the county is moving toward a land record manage- ment system; but before the program can be completed, there is a need to acquire different software so that when a change occurs on a parcel of property this change could be entered throughout the 865 system to all departments involved in land record keeping. He said it has been learned that many of the computer programs written sometime ago will not accept the parcel identification numbers. Mr. Deal was proposing that the board consider entering into an agreement with Styron Asso- ciates to come in and do an analysis of the system and decide what the county needs to do. This would be Phase I and could be handled by a contractual arrangement for approximately $4200 to $5600. Mr. Deal was not asking the board to take action at this meeting; however, he encouraged the board members to consider this and it would be placed on a future agenda. EMERGENCY MEDICAL STATION AT HARMONY: Commissioner Murdock inquired about the EMS Station at Harmony that has been proposed. Mr. Deal responded that the staff has some basic information and he hoped by the next meeting to have more specific data. The location of the site was a question, he said. UPDATE ON CONTRACT FOR THE RADIO TOWER AT MOORESVILLE: Mr. Pope reported on the status of the contract for acquiring the WDLV radio tower in Mooresville. The grant for purchase of this equip- ment is funded through Centralina Council of Governments. Mr. Pope said he had not been able to close the transaction at this time. A bank in Boston holds the mortgage, and it is taking longer than he had anticipated to get a release on the mortgage. He hopes to close the matter within the next week or ten days. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM STAFF: Commissioner Crosswhite requested information on the salary schedule for period ending June 30, 1986.

Clerk ppproven: 242 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES NOVEMBER 12, 1987 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Adjourned Session on Tuesday, November 12, 1987, 10:30 a.m., County Annex Conference Room, Statesville, NC. Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Absent: Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Jerry Lundy, Planning Director CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick DISCUSSION OF HERONWOOD PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: Chairman Hedrick referred to the public notice that was mailed to the county commissioners regarding the proposed causeway applica- tion made to the U. S. Corps of Engineers at Wilmington. The final date for making a reply to this notice on the public hearing is November 23, 1987, at 4:15 p.m. Chairman Hedrick said it may be better if there is a response from the county board of commissioners in the form of a letter. It was also suggested that it might be advisable to have a letter from the staff also. Chairman Hedrick said it was his feeling that there is not enough information at this time for the board to make comments. Commissioner Stewart discussed the design plan for the causeway. She has reviewed this plan with Mr. Paul Haughton, a member of the planning board. In response to a question from Commissioner Crosswhite on who owns the water, Mr. Lundy said Duke Power owns the land under the water. He said an application must go before the regulatory commission. Mr. Lundy said he had written the Heronwood development officials approximately twelve months ago and stated that until some of their problems have been resolved, the inspections office would not be able to issue additional building permits. He said the company officials came into the office about thirty days ago and were shocked that they could not get a building permit. He said he explained the county inspections' position again. Mr. Lundy said he was of the opinion that the causeway would require another modification to the present planned residential development plan. He believes that the causeway will necessitate moving buildings. Mr. Lundy said his comment is going to be that he finds it difficult to comment on the causeway because he does not have enough information. Mr. Bill Pope said he believed the board could say that it does not have enough information to evaluate the proposed project. He agrees with Mr. Lundy that before the project of the causeway can 867 begin, it would be necessary to secure a modification to the planned residential development permit that is now in existence. Commissioner Stewart said the board needs additional information because there are going to be inquiries from the public. Mr. Deal said he would prepare a letter for the chairman's signature outlining the board's position in this matter. SOUTHERN FASTERNERS, REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF PENALTY FOR LATE LISTING OF 1987 TAXES: The board discussed this matter that is tentatively scheduled for the agenda on November 17th. The matter was on the agenda for October 20, and the board denied the request to waive the penalty of $19,878.97 for late listing. Mr. Pope said Mr. Burgdofer discussed this matter with him, and said the company officials had wished to be present when the matter was discussed so they could discuss their posi- tion. The board discussed reducing or waiving the penalty and said that this not only involved the Southern Fasterners Corporation, but involved approximately 850 other tax payers who listed late. It was decided that the Southern Fasteners matter should be placed on the agenda for November 17th. EXECUTIVE SESSION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to enter executive session for the purpose of discussing the county manager resumes. VOTING: Ayes ~ 4; Nays - 0. MOTION to adjourn from executive session from Chairman Hedrick. VOTING: Ayes ~ 4; Nays - 0. ADJOURN: Three of the board members, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Crosswhite, and Mrs. Murdock, accompanied Dr. Don Hayman to the City Club for lunch. Following the lunch, the three resumed the meeting briefly for further consideration of the county manager position. Following this, the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday, November 17, 1987, 7:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2, Statesville.

Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: J. Wayne Deal, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board F. William Furches, Jr., Finance Officer Joe Ketchie, Tax Collector CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Hedrick INVOCATION: By Chairman Hedrick SOUTHERN FASTENERS, REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF LATE LISTING PENALTY: The county board of commis- sioners heard this matter at the board meeting on October 20, 1987, and on November 12th the matter was discussed again. A late listing penalty of $19,878.97 was imposed on the company. Company officials requested a waive of this penalty. At this meeting the board took no action, therefore, action taken on October 20, 1987, upholding the charging of the penalty remains valid. Commissioner Crosswhite said she would like to state that this action disturbs her very much. She said she did not think the penalty fit the severity of the crime. Chairman Hedrick said he believed all the board members felt that way.

DISCUSSION OF SENATE BILL #2 WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION FUNDS: The County Manager brought the board up to date on the status of the Senate Bill #2 funds for water and sewer extensions. There were changes in the 1987 Legislation, which allows counties until June 30, 1988 to designate the use of these funds. In addition it is no longer necessary for counties to match the State funds. A report showing the use of these funds will need to be brought back to the county board of commis- sioners sometime around the first of May so that it can be submitted to the state by the last of June. The board accepted this as information. LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE Three additional appointments need to be made to the captioned board, reported John Fleming, EMS Director. The State has requested that a representative be appointed from the local NC Department of Labor and recommended Mr. B. B. Baker, a local safety inspector. The state also recommends a representative from the N. C. Agricultural Extension Office, and Mr. Fleming recommends Mr. Kenneth E. Vaughn, Agricultural Extension Chairman. Mr. Homer Faulk, appointee from the Mooresville South Iredell Chamber of Commerce would like to ask that his assistant, Mr. Erskine Smith, replace him on the Local Emergency Planning Committee.

MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to approve the minutes from the November 12th meeting. 7) ‘ae = rom VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MANAGER'S REPORT: Mr. Deal announced a change in the board's schedule. The Chamber of Commerce Leadership Award Luncheon is to be held at 12:00 Noon on November 30th; and the agenda briefing which is normally held at that time will be held at 2:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room. Other changes in the board's schedule were mentioned throughout the remainder of the meeting. A list of the dates and times is recorded at the end of the minutes. HARMONY EMERGENCY SERVICES BASE: Mr. Deal reported that the Harmony EMS base is in a state of bad disrepair. The county owns property that is situated on both sides of Highway 901 East, and Mr. Deal thought the property lying on the South side of 901 would be a good site for a new EMS site in Harmony. Mr. Deal will continue working on this project. Chairman Hedrick suggested that the board may want to schedule some extra meetings to finish up some business before the county manager leaves. SOFTWARE FOR THE PLANNING, MAPPING, REGISTER OF DEEDS, INSPECTIONS, AND TAX OFFICES: Mr. Deal said he and some of the staff members have been meeting with Mr. George Styron regarding the acquisition of some software that would tie together all the various departments' information that is presently on the computer. The first step in this plan will be for Phase I to study these needs. Mr. Styron has agreed to contract with the county for $70 an hour, not to exceed $5,600. Mr. Deal said this Phase I study will put the county to the point where they know if they need new software or if the county has enough presently. It is not necessary to bid this service, Mr. Deal said. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to hire Styron and Associates to do an evaluation of the present software for Iredell County, as described by the county manager. The price is at the rate of $70 per hour, not to exceed $5600, to ascertain to what extent our present software is being utilized, and to authorize a contract to be issued with Styron for this work. The contract is to be signed by the county manager. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Mr. Deal pointed out that this Phase I study is just to look at the present utilization of the county's software. A contract to modify the software will cost considerably more than this, he said. JAIL - SALARY MODIFICATION: Mr. Deal brought to the board's attention that the jailers salaries are very much out of line with comparable counties in this area. He was asking that the board approve changing the grades of the jailers from 59 to 62, to be effective November 1, 1987. Mr. Deal said this was a stop gap measure; a thorough study of some positions is being done and will be completed at a later date. Mr. Deal believed that the jailers' salaries were so out of line that it required immediate attention. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt that the board approve the county manager's request for the salary changes for the jailer positions from Grade 59 to Grade 62, beginning as of November 1, 1987. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HERONWOOD PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - PUBLIC HEARING ON REQUEST FOR CAUSEWAY: Mr. Deal reported that the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington, NC, has requested responses to a proposed develop- ment of a causeway across a portion of Lake Norman, from the present site of the Heronwood Planned Residential Section, to an island that belongs to the Heronwood Developers. After a discussion, the board consented that the county manager would write a letter in response to the Public Notice concerning the application by Heronwood Associates for construction of a fill causeway and bridge in Lake Norman. The letter would express the board's concerns after the difficulties this causeway would present with the Planned Residential Development and a request for a modification to the development. The board believed that there was not enough information available to comment and would like to have a public hearing in Iredell! County on this matter. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT: Mr. Bill Furches, Finance Officer, presented a comprehensive annual financial report to the board. This is the first of its kind to be prepared by the finance office and presented to the board and to state officials.

Mr. Rick Howard inquired why the sewage treatment plant is being relocated. He also inquired about the buffering. He asked what does buffering mean. Mr. Lundy said buffering is defined as vegetation, trees, fences, banks of earth, subject to what the board wishes to impose on it. Mr. Lundy identified the sewage disposal on Exhibit B and called attention to the buffering proposed for the system. PROPONENTS: The following persons were sworn by the clerk to the board: John Massey Fred Bryant Tom Scott Sandy Turnbull Richard Durham Carroll Weber Dale Stewart Jerry Rhyne Mr. John Massey, attorney for the proponents, made the opening remarks and said he had two principal speakers and other persons who were present to answer questions the board may have. Mr. Tom Scott was the first witness called and testified as follows: 1. This was John Crosland's first step into Iredell County and it was his belief that the proposed project was worthy of such. 2. John Crosland Company is the largest homebuilder in North Carolina and certainly in Mecklenburg County where headquartered. Celebrating 50 years of existence this year. Approximately 600 homes to be developed in Charlotte this year. 3. Proposed project will provide a broad range of single-family housing types which are all tied together by the centrally located open space. 4. John Crosland Company looks forward to the opportunity presented by the property and the proposed rezoning plan and would hope that the county commissioners would look favorably upon the request. Mr. Tom Scott further spoke regarding the Exhibits P-1 (rezoning plan), P-2 (sunnlementary details and cross section), P-3 (private treatment plant), and P-4 (a fact sheet on the deve lop- ment), all of which showed and addressed the proposed plan of development. He identified the various types of single-family housing that is located on the site. He identified the common area and called attention to the homeowners association proposal and that the homeowners association which is to be incorporated will own the areas and will maintain the arcr: by levying assessments. 8'7 2 8'76 He presented documentation showing how the common areas would be maintained. A total of 195 lots is planned for the approximately 80 acres, which represents a density of 2.45 per acre. The various types of homes are lakefront single family (100'x200'avg) 30 lots; lakeview single family (90'x180'avg) 35 lots; lake access single family (85'x160' avg) 60 lots; single family patio homes (65'x95'avg) 70 lots. Mr. Scott also discussed the ingress and egress to the property, from Langtree and Gudger Roads. He also identified the community open space with the swimming pool, tennis courts, boat parking space, off-street parking, and community water system. The developers are proposing a 45 buffer around the entire development and private boat slips, both of which will be governed by the Homeowners Association. Mr. Scott identified the roads that are to be dedicated to the State Department of Transportation and other roads in the area of the patio homes that will be a part of and maintained by the maintained by the homeowners' association. The private streets will be, except for width of the right of way and pavement, constructed to state standards. A private street cross section is shown on plans. Until accepted by the State the public streets shall be maintained by the Homeowners' Association. Mr. Scott's remarks were directed to a general overall view of the project. Following Mr. Scott's presentation, Mr. Massey introduced Mr. Fred E. Bryant, who spoke. Mr. Bryant gave his credentials, stating that he was a professional urban planner with offices at 1850 E. Third Street, Charlotte. He presented his written credentials to Mr. Pope, Chairman, which was listed as Exhibit P-5. Mr. Pope stated that the record should show that Mr. Bryant was established as an expert qualified to speak on this matter. Mr. Bryant gave testimony to indicate that all of the requirements of Section 87 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance is being met by the material being submitted by the John Crosland Company. This section contains the PRD requirements and Mr. Bryant first reviewed the two Findings Statements which would be addressed. These are: (1) That all development standards established herein have been satisfactorily met, and (2) that no part of the proposed development shall be so located or operated as to create a nuisance to nearby residential areas. In support of these findings, Mr. Bryant went through the development standard requirements of Section 87-2 one by one to indicate that each of them had been met. The testimony for each is summarized herein: A. The total development is capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability. The details of the site plan including the fact that it is all single-family housing was explained and detailed in order to relate to this standard. The overall development plan is being submitted as one phase. B. While the Ordinance does not require specific development standards, it was pointed out that the plan does specify minimums as to lot size, yard and setback proposals. C. The maximum height of structures shall not exceed 35 feet. D. All streets have been designed to not only meet, but in many cases exceed the standards of the North Carolina Department of Transportation and all such requirements shall be observed as to construction quality. Additionally, private streets have been designed to meet all requirements for circulation and meet the minimums as specified in this section. All grading at the site will be in accordance with state law. Off street parking is being provided pursuant to Section 62 of the ordinance. No on-street parking is allowed on streets in patio area. The plan makes provisions for adequate and safe designs of grades and drainage so as to make due allowance for storm waters, and to prevent erosion and formulation of dust. E&F. (These standards are viewed in later testimony of Mr. Dale C. Stewart. ) G. A letter has been received from the Assistant Iredell County School Superintendent indicated that they approve of this project. H. All buffering surrounding the project area was explained in detail including the use of cross-sections to indicate the quality of the screening and to demonstrate that all requirements of the Ordinance have been adhered to. I. This project contains almost 80 acres and, therefore, meets the minimum acreage requirement for a PRD of 10 acres. Additionally, no part of the property consists of an island. The density of the project is 2.45 units per acre which is substantially under the maximum density of 4 units per acre which is allowed by the Ordinance. Considerable time was spent in explaining the open-space system “’ which is a part of this project and, in particular, an explanation of the amenity area which will contain recreational facilities for the entire project. It was indicated that the open-space shall be under the control of a Homeowners Association which will be responsible for the continued maintenance thereof. Mr. Bryant then discussed in detail the finding which states that, "No part of the proposed development shall be so located or operated as to create a nuisance in nearby residential areas." He explained that the type of housing proposed for this project is completely compatible with adjoining housing since it is all single-family detached and that indeed the quality of this development will be equal to or substantially exceed the quality of other projects in the area. it. therefore, could not be constructed to be a nuisance to any nearby residential areas. Mr. Bryant closed by making a statement based on his professional expertise and background that the evidence presented did indeed qualify this project for approval under the Finding Statements of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Dale C. Stewart was then called and presented his credentials to Chairman Pope. They were marked as Exhibit P-6. Mr. Stewart also presented the following exhibits: P-7, N.C. Division of Environmental Management letter; P-8. Review comments; P-9, Results of tests at Parks Farm, another project using this type of sewage treatment; a jar containing water that had been through the treatment process at Parks Farm. Mr. Stewart stated that the water and sewage treatment systems would be constructed in accordance with all state, federal and local laws. He presented letters showing the extent of current review and further stated that additional reviews by the local health department and appropriate state agencies were ongoing. He stated that only single family residences which discharge domestic sewage would be served by the systems. No industrial or commercial wastes would be processed in the sewage treatment facility. Mr. Stewart spent considerable time explaining the mechanics of the sewage treatment plant. The system would be a centralized gravity fed collection system with two pump stations to convey waste waters in a closed system to the treatment plant. The processes used would be aerobic and not anaerobic and as such would not create odor problems. No sludge would be disposed of on the site. He discussed the buffering that is shown on the proposed plan and discussed the noise that is created by the fans, and said the fans were equipped with silencers to eliminate as much noise as possible. He pointed out on the diagram that the system would be mostly underground, which would act as a buffer for noise from the plant. He discussed the backup plan for the sewage treatment plant. He explained the automatic telephone dialing system that automatically dials the Mid-South service in the event the sewage system ceases to operate. Mid-South is the private utility company which will own and operate the plant. During the interim period resulting in a breakdown of the sewage treatment plant, the backup until would be activated. Mr. Stewart also discussed the auxiliary power unit that would be activated in case of a power outage. He also pointed out that the capacity of the sewage treatment plant is 80,000 gallons, which is adequate for the number of residences that are planned for the project, he said. Mr. Stewart addressed their proposal to abandon the present sewage treatment plant that is presently located in the Castaway Shores and to utilize the proposed system. They plan to retain the discharge point that is presently in existence for the Castaways Shores plant, if such is allowed by state regulatory authorities. He explained that the new sewage treatment plant to be constructed would be technically superior to the old plant and would have additional processes to better treat the effluent and monitor the plant's operation. Further, the buffering and noise control would be better. Mr. Stewart stated that the effluent discharged would be of higher quality than the water currently in the lake. It would have a higher oxygen content. He stated that the added treatment processes were done to protect the quality of water in Lake Norman. Following Mr. Stewart's presentation, Chairman Pope stated he had reviewed Mr. Stewart's cre- dentiais and would establish for the record that he was a professional qualified to speak as an expert on the matter before the board. Chandler Bryan inquired why the plant was an 80,000 gallon capacity when the discharge applica- tion was for 125,000 gallons. Mr. Stewart replied that initially they were not certain how many units they would be able to place on the property. Because of this information not being available, they decided to apply for a sewage treatment plant that would be adequate to handle the maximum number of units that could be placed on the property. When the plan was finally completed and they resolved that they would place 195 units on the property, and it was determined that an 80,000 gallon capacity plant would be adequate to handle the sewage treatment. Larry Hedrick inquired if the sewage treatment plant would be gravity fed, and Mr. Stewart said part would be gravity fed and part would be done through a lift station. Mr. Rick Howard inquired about the sewage treatment plant presently located at Castaway Shores, asking if anyone had visited this site recently. He advised that it would be a good idea to visit the site. S77 baie. 8'78 Mr. Jerry Rhyne identified himself as a fee appraiser associated with Rhyne and Associates located in Statesville, NC He has been in the real estate business in Iredell County eleven years and a fee appraiser for about ten years. He is past president of the board of realtors. He appraises for commercial banks and savings and loans. He presented his credentials to Chairman Pope. Mr. Rhyne addressed the surrounding neighborhood. He stated he believed it would have no negative affects on the surrounding area. He had studied the project and visited and viewed the surrounding properties. In the past he has appraised adjacent properties. Chairman Pope stated that Mr. Rhyne's credentials qualified him to be an expert appraisal and qualified to speak as an expert. Mr. Massey then tendered Mr. Carroll Weber and Mr. Richard Dishman of the Mid-South Water Systems, Inc., the public utility that would operate the water and sewer facilities, and Ms. Sandy Turnbull, state planner for the project, for questions. Norman Alexander spoke as a property owner in the area. OPPONENTS: The following persons were sworn by the clerk to the board as opponents: Chandler Bryan Rick Howard Norman Alexander Chandler Bryan addressed the board regarding his concerns of putting the effluent into the lake. He asked that the board of commissioners consider having a study to determine the long-range effects that the effluent from the sewage treatment plants have on Lake Norman. Mr. Bryan suggested that the reason the developers were using the treatment plant was because they could locate more dwelling units on the property with this type of treatment than could be located on the property with septic tanks. He asked the board to deny the request until the study he suggested was done. Rick Howard addressed the board regarding his concerns of the overcrowding of the schools that would be used by the residents of the project. He said he was in favor of the project, but would like for the issue concerning the schools to be studied further. Mr. Norman Alexander declined to speak. No one else spoke in regard to this project. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to adjourn the meeting to regular session. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. ACTION ON JOHN CROSLAND COMPANY, CASE NO. 1187-1: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to delay granting of this request until the first meeting in February (February 2) or before, in order to answer some of the questions as follows: (1) Question to Duke Power regarding allowing any discharge of effluent onto their property; (2) Problem with the county school system being able to accommodate any more students in that area. Get an opinion from the county schools. (3) Lake Norman - contact any state agency or corps of engineers regarding the flow of the lake at this point where the effluent is to be discharged into the lake. Mr. William P. Pope said the letter form the school system was not clear regarding the impact of the students on the school. Mr. John Massey said he thought the letter was clear that there would be no negative impact on the schools. Mr. Jerry Lundy said no permission from Duke Power was necessary because the emission already exists. If the board desires more information, the county may have to hire someone to get the information. Chairman Hedrick AMENDED his motion to December 14th as the date of taking action on this matter. This meeting will be held at 2:00 p.m., December 14, 1987, County Annex Conference Room. VOTING ON MOTION AND AMENDMENT: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to return to Public Hearing. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SKIPPER'S MARINA, REZONING OF WATER SURFACE, CASE #1187-2: Mr. Lundy, planning director, identified this property on the county map. The request for rezoning is for a portion of the water surface (not to exceed 1/3 width of the cove), adjacent to Lot 7, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map "| Sd 3F, for the purpose of placement of boat docks and slips. This rezoning request was unanimously approved by the planning board. OPPONENT STATEMENTS: Mr. Jim Edmiston spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. His reason for opposing, he said, is because the county board of commissioners makes a ruling for the rezoning, the matter then goes back to the planning board, and ultimately to the zoning board of adjustment for final ruling. He believed that the zoning board of adjustment would have too much latitude in adjustment of the zoning. He requested that the board place special conditions on the zoning change. PROPONENT STATEMENTS: Mr. T. C. Homesley, attorney for the MKL, Inc., making the request for the rezoning of Skipper's Marina, spoke. Mr. Homesley said they planned or proposed no "wet storage" of boats. Mr. Lundy again stated that special conditions for the rezoning would be placed by the board of adjustment, upon recommendation of the planning board. Mr. Homesley again stated that they had no desire to have any wet storage. Chairman Hedrick inquired about filling of land at the dock area. Mr. Homesley replied that there will be some fill, but it will not extend the length beyond 80'. Mr. Kindley, one of the owners, spoke. He pointed out the plan for constructing the dock on the drawing. He stated that there would not be any wet storage of boats and that they would have to do some digging at the shore line to make the water deeper. Both Chairman Hedrick and Commissioner Ostwalt requested that the board of adjustments get a copy of the county commissioners' minutes for their information. Mr. Bob Randall, chairman of the Lake Norman Marine Commission, was present in the audience and said that this matter also comes before the Lake Norman Marine Commission, and this body would see that the zoning and extension into the cove met the proper guidelines insofar as the marine commis- sion's jurisdiction is concerned. CLOSING OF A PORTION OF S. R. 2125, BUTLER MILL ROAD: Mr. Charles Campbell, Department of Transportation, was present to discuss the closing of a portion of S. R. 2125, Butler Mill Road. Mr. Campbell said this road is located across from the entrance to Harmony Elementary School, and the relocation became necessary because of straightening the road. He answered questions asked by the board members regarding this proposed closing. No one else present spoke for or against the realignment. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to close the public hearing. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SKIPPER'S MARINA - CASE No. 1187-2: MOTION from Commissioner Murdock that the board approve this rezoning request to rezone a portion of the water surface (not to exceed 1/3 width of the cove) adjacent to Lot 7, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map 3F, for the purpose of placement of boat docks and slips, provided that a copy of the minutes for the Iredel! County Board of Commissioners’ meeting dated December 1, 1987 that pertains to the rezoning of this property be sent to the board of adjustment and the Lake Norman Marine Commission. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CLOSING A PORTION OF S. R. 2125, BUTIER MILL ROAD: Motion from Commissioner Murdock to approve the closing of a portion of S.

MANAGER'S REPORT: MAZEPPA ROAD WATER AND SEWER LINE PROJECT: Mr. Deal reported on this project, saying that there was a misunderstanding on the volume of water required for the prospective industry. There was a request for 100,000 cu.ft. of water per month communicated and it was understood to be 100,000 gallons per month. This would require a larger size line as well as an increase in the sewage treatment lines. Following further discussion, the board agreed to wait until 10:00 a.m. on December 2 to discuss this further, allowing the county manager more time to get additional information. FLAGS IN FRONT OF THE OLD COURT HOUSE: Commissioner Crosswhite said she was very pleased with the flags in front of the old court house.

He said he talked with Mr. Homer Faulk, Mooresville Chamber Executive, regarding the request for additional funds. Mr. Faulk said he would have additional information available for the board by Monday, December 7th. WATER AND SEWER TAP-ON FEES: Mr. Deal said he had received proposals from Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc., regarding a study of tap-on fees. The proposal was for a study in two phases, the first phase being a study of the I-77 and NC-150 development recently completed by the county. The county would like to recover part of the cost of the lines and the cost of water treatment. Moores- ville is rapidly approaching the capacity of their water treatment plant, he said, and will have to have additional treatment facilities. Mr. Deal said he had asked for a specific hourly rate, but at this time does not have such available. 882 After further discussion, it was decided that it would not be of too much benefit to have the hourly rate since it is not known how many hours would be involved in the study. Mr. Deal thought it was urgent to proceed with this study as soon as possible. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to go with the Camp Dresser McKee study, to be paid out of the water and sewer funds, to be reimbursed with Senate Bill #2 monies at a later time. The study is to cost from $6,000 to $9,000 and can be completed in approximately six to seven weeks for Phase I. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. ADDITIONAL POSITION FOR RECREATION DEPARTMENT: This matter was before the board on October 20, 1987, at which time the board requested that the classification for the position be written and the salary range and position classification be brought back to the board for final approval. Mr. Deal reported that the position was at a salary $11,712, at Grade 57, Step 1A. The hospitalization would be $289 for January through June 1988. There are enough funds in the retire- ment line time to cover retirement for this six-month period. A transfer of $4,330 from part-time salary to full-time salary will also be necessary. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to fill the full-time part-time position for the Athletic Supervisor. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Ostwalt). HARMONY EMS BASE: Mr. Deal discussed this matter with the board. He asked if the board wished to proceed to establish a new base. It would be necessary to take the funds from the Capital Reserve Fund. Mr. Deal said he believed something needed to be done at Harmony. Mr. Deal estimates that a building would cost $30,000 based on an estimated $15/per sq. ft. building cost. In addition to the building, a septic tank will be required and paving for parking. The estimate for the building is based on a 40 x 30 building with two ambulance bases 40' in length and approximately 30' wide. Commissioner Ostwalt said he would like to see the board proceed with this. Chairman Hedrick inquired if a perk test has been made of the soil. The county presently owns some property on 901 S, toward Mocksville. The property is located on both sides of the road. Mr. Deal said he would spend some time deciding on the best location and would try to locate the building at a corner of the property. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired about the offer from the Medical Center to allow the EMS headquarters to locate there, but the feeling was that this offer had since been withdrawn. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to proceed with the things that are necessary to get this building started, perk test, etc. In discussing the motion, Chairman Hedrick said before the staff begins, he would like for the board to be apprised of the proceedings. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. PLACQUES TO BE PRESENTED TO RETIRING EMPLOYEES: It was brought to the attention of the board that there were five county employees who retired during 1987. Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board, asked the board to set a policy of recognizing retiring employees each year. The board by consensus agreed that it would be best to present the placques to all employees who had retired during the current year at the Annual Christmas Luncheon for the Employees, and that this would be an on-going event each year. EXECUTIVE SESSION: MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to enter Executive Session for the purpose of interviewing a county manager applicant. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. The board continued the executive session until 12:00 Noon, at which time they adjourned the meeting to have lunch with the county manager candidate at the City Club. The board members returned at 1:00 p.m. and adjourned the meeting until Monday, December 7, 1987, 10:00 a.m., County Annex Conference Room. Motions to adjourn from executive session and to adjourn the regular meeting were made by Chairman Hedrick and unanimously approved by the board. 7 a / / sy J erk to Boar APPROVED: /W/y Bee psn a.

Wayne Deal, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board REQUEST FROM MOORESVILLE/SOUTH IREDELL REGARDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR WATER AND SEWER LINE FINANCING: The county manager said he had received more information about the additional funds required for the water and sewer line extension to the Mazeppa Road property for a prospective industry. On April 21, 1987, this matter was before the board in executive session and a motion was made in open session to allocate the sum of $81,900 in county water and sewer funds to this project. This amount represents 70% of the total request of $117,000 estimated by Willis Engineers. The remaining 30% is to be paid by the Town of Mooresville and is part of the existing water and sewer line extension policy. Because of a misunderstanding in the water requirements, additional funds are necessary to expand the lines. Mr. Deal reported at this time that he had spoken to Mr. Rick McLean, Mooresville Town Manager; and Mr. McLean said that the engineer said additional cost between the first estimate and the present estimate is $86,206. The breakdown on the increase is: $26,000 To provide an 8" water line for fire protection that the engineer said was never mentioned to them when they did the calculations $60, 206 Additional increase in the water and sewer line, of which: $42,144 Engineer sayS is the cost of the miscalculations between gallons and square feet of water. Requires changes in the size of the forced main from 4" line to 6" line. Requires an upgrade in the pump lift station. Increase from 30 gallons a minute to 265 gallons a minute. Water line was 12" and sti11 is 12°. $18,061 The cost of the increase of the capacity of the sewer system itself. In discussing this information, Commissioner Stewart requested a written form similar to what is usually received in a request for water and sewer extension funds. Chairman Hedrick requested that this information be secured. It was established that seventy per cent of the $86,206 would be $60,344.20. MOTION from Commissioner Ostwalt that Iredell County pay 70% of the proposed additional cost, which is 70% of $86,206 ($60,344.20) for the project that is up for consideration. These funds are to come from the County's Water and Sewer Fund and are subject to the ongoing water and sewer line extension policy that is in existence between municipalities and the county. VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Ostwalt, Hedrick, Murdock ) Nays - 2 (Crosswhite, Stewart) Commissioner Crosswhite said she wished to qualify her vote by saying she did not think the county should have to pay for the fire protection. Chairman Hedrick said he believed that a precedent had already been set in the Armitage-Shank allocation to provide fire protection. 883 WATER LINE EXTENSION, STATESVILLE: Mr. Deal reported in-late September he had received a request from the City of Statesville for a water line extension on the Cline property, from the city's water and sewer lines to serve a company that would employ 40 people. At the time of the request the general information was broad, he said. Final information is now available, which is the requirement of an 8" water line extension 1500 feet outside the city limits. The total cost is estimated at $29,187. Seventy (70) per cent of this would be $20,430.90. Mr. Deal said he received this information from the city engineer on November 23rd with some information from Jack King. The City Council wants to finalize this bid at the council meeting this evening (December 7H OMY Deal reported that it is in keeping with the County's water and sewer policy. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to approve the expenditure of $20,430.90 from the Water and Sewer Fund which is to be allocated under the present water .and sewer policy between the county and municipalities.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN IREDELL COUNTY AND IREDELL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: An agreement was entered into in 1983 concerning land that lies behind the Iredell County Health Department. The agreement was for the health department to be allowed to use this land exclusively for health services. The hospital needs this property at this time and has requested that they be released from this agree- ment. Mr. Deal, county manager, said that since the County is considering building a health depart- ment at some other location in the near future, they will not be needing the property. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to release Iredell Memorial Hospital from the agreement for the use of the property located behind the Iredell County Health Department, said agreement entered into in November 1983, signed by Joe H. Troutman, Chairman of the Iredell County Board of Commissioners, and J. Allen Knox, President, Board of Directors, Iredell Memorial Hospital. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. IREDELL SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION SERVICE: Mr. John Caviness and members of the board of directors of Iredell Soil and Water Conservation Service were present to discuss the services that their agency delivers. Mr. Caviness presented a slide presentation showing the results of some of their work. He addressed the work that they have done to combat pollutants in streams, which are fertilizer and other chemicals that are put on land by the farmers and run off into the streams. He also discussed irrigation, erosion solutions, NS dairy and beef cattle waste in streams. Mr. Caviness said Iredell County is #3 in the state in water quality problems. Mr. Caviness also addressed other projects in which they participated; namely, landfill engi- neering and design, and school programs on soil and water conservation. Questions were asked by commissioners and answered by Mr. Caviness. Chairman Hedrick thanked Mr. Caviness and the board members for the presentation. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES - REQUEST FOR TWO NEW POSITIONS: Mr. Don Wall, Social Services Director, was present to request two new positions, Eligibility Specialist I, and Eligibility Specialist II, for starting new programs in the social services department that are mandated by federal and state government. The program is to allow pregnant woman and children up to age two who have income up to 100% of the federal property level to receive Medicaid. The goal of this program, as explained by Mr. Wall, is to reduce the infant mortality rate and low brithweight by providing early and continuous prenatal and pediatric care. The state and federal allocations available are $28,060. Projected costs are $16,868 for the remaining portion of fiscal year 1987-88, 50% from the state ($8,434) and 50% from federal govern- ment ($8,434), for a total of $16,868 required. No local funds are required. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if this program overlapped with a program similar to this in the health department. Mr. Wall said this was a different position; he said they have to do the eligibility procedures. She also inquired of Mr. Mashburn, health department director, who was present. Mr. Mashburn said the health department was a care coordinator, providing outreach and education and follow up on these women who are not getting the care. Mr. Wall said the two agencies would be coordinating their services. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to establish these two positions, Eligibility Specialist Il and Eligibility Specialist I, for Support Medicare Expansion for the AFDC Unemployed Parents Pro- grams, as requested. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - QO. VEHICLE EQUIPMENT BIDS: Mrs. Evie Caldwell, purchasing agent, presented bids for fourteen light bars, sirens and switches for the Sheriff's Department. Invitations to bid were issued to six vendors and four responded, which were: Sargent-Sowell, Inc. No Bid National Police Supply $13,044.36 Lawmen's Safety Supply, Inc. $12,647.04 Tarheel Emergency Sales $16,052.26 Mrs. Caldwell pointed out that there was an error in computation of the low bid, which results in the bid bond not being the correct amount. Because of this error, the second low bid, National Police Supply, is recommended. MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to accept the National Police Supply bid in the amount of $13,044.36. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. By consensus of the board members, Mr. William P. Pope, County Attorney, was to chair this portion of the meeting. TRANSCRIPT OF ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING ON CROSLAND POPE: Mr. Chairman, the commissioners had adjourned the public hearing to this day at 2:00 o'clock for the purpose of attempting to ascertain whether the staff and others could answer certain questions. I have those questions: (1) Whether Duke Power Company consented to allow an increased discharge on its property, apparently having consented to previously allow 10,000 gallon discharge, that it now consent to have that burden increased. (2) What impact this project might have on the Mt. Mourne School situation. That is, the sewer problem that exists at the school. (3) The third aspect the staff was to address was to contact appropriate state agencies and to determine what information could be obtained concerning the water flow, volume, etc., in the lake, and how it might be impacted by an increased discharge. We are in public session now for the purpose of hearing the report of the staff on those three items and for taking such further testimony as the commissioners desire to take with regard to this application to rezone and to grant a special use permit. HEDRICK: So we need to be in a public hearing session? POPE: I do not think it is necessary. But let's do that, let's go into public hearing. HEDRICK: I move we adjourn to public hearing for the purpose of getting staff reports on these three questions. Any discussion? VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. POPE: Mr. Lundy, will you present any comments the staff might have about any of those three items? LUNDY: Mr. Pope, members of the commission, in reply to three questions you have posed, Duke Power had granted an easement for the Castaway Shores development to allow the placement of. the discharge line into the lake. That easement does not have anything to do, I am told, as far as they are concerned with the amount, only with the laying of the pipe line. And they plan to take no further action at this time. In response to the letter concerning the schools, we have consulted and obtained a second letter from the Iredell County Public Schools, which I will read to you for the record. It is addressed to Mr. Mike Dula, who was sending out the letters at the time the request went out. It says: "In reviewing the proposed housing development on Langtree Road by the John Crosland Company, we anticipate, based on similar developments, no negative impact on the Iredell County Schools. Historically, demographic changes resulting from similar developments have rendered no sudden student population changes in the Iredell County Schools. 887 888 Sincerely, Franklin D. Ivey, Associate Superintendent" That letter is dated December 3, 1987. Mr. Pope, would you like that made a part of the original exhibits? POPE: Yes, I was trying to determine what the last exhibit was, staff exhibit number was, do you have that? LUNDY: R was the last exhibit. POPE: Would you mark that S? POPE: I will admit that letter, then, from Mr. Ivey as the Exhibit S. Are there further comments from the staff? LUNDY: Further comments that I would make, Mr. Pope, is that I have discussed this with a number of people with state concerning the increase in the amount of the effluent that would be placed into the lake. We have found that there are computer models for approximately twelve discharge locations on Lake Norman, and they do monitor each one of those locations for oxygen content, but there is not a computer model for the entire lake as a whole that would show long range effect of the lake. In inquirina from the gentlemen who is dealing with that, what it would take to do it, he has told me that it would take several years and would cost a substantial amount of money to do a study for the entire lake. At this point, I don't have any other information that is pertinent to that question. I have been informed that there may be someone here from the state that would testify to this situation. I don't know if they are here or not, Mr. Pope. That's all I have in the way of additional information. POPE: Are there any questions from any of the commissioners to the staff concerning any of the data requested and the report? Any questions of the staff by the proponents, John Crosland Company? MASSEY: We have no questions. POPE: Any questions of the staff by the opponents? Mr. Bryan, any other opponents present? BRYAN: Does he have the maps with him? LUNDY: Yes, I do. BRYAN: We might need those when Mr. Parker from the state is here and will answer questions. POPE: Mr. Lundy, do you have some way of mounting those maps? LUNDY: I'11 get some way. BRYAN: I don't think we will need them all, just the one showing the lake, the development in relationship to the lake. POPE: While Mr. Lundy is locating some manner of mounting the exhibits, I will call on the proponents now. Mr. Massey, does the proponent, John Crosland Company, wish to offer further testimony or evidence, exhibits, or documents? MASSEY: We have nothing to put on this time. We do reserve the right for rebuttal. POPE: The staff report having been presented and the proponents indicating no desire to present further testimony at this time, do the opponents wish to present any evidence or testimony or exhibits to the commissioners. BRYAN: Yes. I have a few things I would like to say. MASSEY: Mr. Chairman, I did not object to Mr. Bryan's testimony at the last hearing, but this is a zoning matter; and I am sure that he wants to talk, but he is some 25 miles away from this property. I think the board has some, or should put some restrictions on whether anybody can come and talk on a zoning matter. (Not clear) POPE: Well, I think it is fairly clear under the North Carolina law that in order to~ have standing to challenge one has to be an adjoining property owner. We are taking testimony on a question on whether we will rezone this property, and if so, whether we will grant a special use permit, and if so, on what terms and conditions. And I will rule that he can testify as long as he is not repetitive of what has already been offered. Go ahead. BRYAN: Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Commissioners. The gentleman is with us from Mooresville Clean Water Department, Mr. Parker. I don't know if you want to question him in the public hearing or the special hearing. What is your pleasure? POPE: We'll hear him now. BRYAN: 0O.K. Before he testifies. HEDRICK: Let me make a point. Should we also specify in this particular hearing that it is also running concurrently as we did in the previous meeting, that the rezoning request and the public hearing for the PRD will both be one and the same? POPE: Yes, considered at the same time. BRYAN: The only reason, really, that there is some objection at this point to the rezoning from the people that I have been talking to and myself, is what is going to happen to? MASSEY: Objection, your honor, the people he's been talking to. POPE: Sustained. BRYAN: The objection is what is going to happen to the effluent. If the Crosland people would find a land disposal use for the effluent, then all opposition on my part would be dropped. In relation to that, I have a letter here from the Department of Natural Resources, which was addressed to Mr. Thomas Weber of the Mid-South Water Systems pertaining to the Heronwood Development, and I would like to read one sentence, it says MASSEY: Objection, your honor. POPE: Could you identify the letter? BRYAN: The letter is from Paul Welms, who is the supervisor of the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, Division of the Environmental Management. POPE: To whom is it addressed? BRYAN: It is addressed to Mr. Weber. POPE: Who is that, Weber? BYRAN: Mid-South Water Systems. POPE: What is the date of the letter? BRYAN: The date of the letter is December 6, 1985. MASSEY: We would object to that, having no relevance to this project, being too far away to have any relevance to this project. POPE: I can't determine whether it is relevant or not until I hear it. Read it and I'll] decide. BRYAN: I won't read the whole letter. I'll be glad to let you read the whole letter. It says, "In view of the fact that this development already has a more environmentally acceptable method for waste disposal, your request for a MPDES permit to discharge to Class A (2) and B waters of the state is denied." The approval of the environmentally accepted method was septic tanks, so the state of North Carolina, in my opinion, in this letter MASSEY: We would object to that, not having any relevance to this plan here. POPE: I am going to reserve a ruling on that. Proceed, Mr. Bryan. BRYAN: The other item that I would like to read to the board is taken from Laws and Rules for Ground Absorption, Sewage Treatment, and Disposal Systems, Section 1900 of the N. C. Administrative Code, Title X, Department of Human Resources. May I read you something from that? POPE: We will take judicial notice of the law. BRYAN: Page 29, paragraph 1958, "Non-Ground Absorption Sewage Treatment Systems, Item D. Sewage recycling systems which discharge treated wastewater meeting the state drinking water stan- dards may be used only for toilet flushing and recycled sewage, shall not be used for body contact, or human consumption. Such systems must be specifically approved by the state or local health department." I thought that it was interesting that the State does not allow by their own rules treated wastewater to come into body contact with people. And yet it seems that some of the State rules allow it to be discharged into our drinking and in the places where we swim and boat and it also says it cannot come into body contact. At this point I would like to, if you would, to ask Mr. Parker if he would come so that he may be qualified as an expert witness. POPE: I'll hear from Mr. Parker. Are there any questions of Mr. Bryan at this time by the commissioners? Are there any questions of Mr. Bryan by the proponents? MASSEY: No questions. POPE: Any question of Mr. Bryan by any of the other opponents? Mr. Bryan, I will take under advisement the letter of December 12, 1985. I'll admit into evidence the Administrative Code, and I'll hear from Mr. Parker. 889 8390 BRYAN: We also have with us today an adjoining property owner to Crosland project who was not here before. I don't know if she would like to say anything. She wasn't sworn before. POPE: We'll hear her if she wants to testify. We'll hear Mr. Parker first. HEDRICK: We need to have him sworn. Let the record also show that those who have spoken so far were previously sworn. CLERK TO THE BOARD ADMINISTERED OATH TO Mr. Michael Leslie Parker. POPE: Mr. Parker, would you identify yourself? Give your name, address and your position? PARKER: My name is Michael Parker. I live in Mooresville, NC, I work with the N. C. Depart- ment of Natural Resources and Community Development as an Environmental Engineer in the Mooresville Regional Office. POPE: As an environmental engineer, what do you do? PARKER: I work on the issuance, site investigations, working specifically on issuing EPES discharge permits and some non-discharge permits. POPE: Do you have a published criteria for determining whether or not you will issue a permit? PARKER: Yes, sir. POPE: What are those criteria? PARKER: They are issued under the N. C. Administrative Code as our guidelines and regulations for issuance of a permit. POPE: Do you have familiarity with the discharge permit known as the Castaway Shores discharge? PARKER: Yes, sir. I have considerable amount of familiarity with it; however, let me inter- ject when the permit was originally issued, the individual that issued the original permit for that facility is no longer with our Mooresville office. My familiarity stems from primarily the recent proposal from John Crosland to expand the treatment plant, and so that's where my involvement and familiarity has begun. POPE: How long have you been employed in the Mooresville branch? PARKER: Approximately seven and one-half years. POPE: Are you aware of any problems with the existing discharge? PARKER: As the plant stands right now? Porc: Yes. PARKER: No, sir. POPE: As far as you know, then, in your professional opinion, the existing discharge functions adequately. PARKER: Yes, as far as information we have right now. Yes. POPE: What monitoring is done by your office or by any other state or federal agency, to your knowledge? PARKER: At our regional office we have some (Not clear) analysts which do periodically or routinely go out and take samples from the treatment plants that are located in our region. I do not know the sampling schedule or how frequently these samples are obtained from this particular facility, but I do know on periodic basis samples are obtained. POPE: Where are they obtained? At the plant or the discharge point? PARKER: They are taken at the effluent, not where it goes into the lake, It is taken at the water after it has been treated by the plant but not at the end of the pipe which obviously you can't reach the end of the pipe. POPE: Do you know with what frequency that is done? PARKER: No, sir. I sure don't. Those people work in a somewhat different area, and I'm not familiar with their schedule. POPE: You had occasion to investigate the application for an enlarged discharge permit, or a new discharge permit, as it may be called by the John Crosland Company. Would you tell us what you found? PARKER: Their basic proposal was to expand the treatment plant from approximately 10,000 gallons a day to 150,000 gallons a day, which I have recently found out that that proposal has been reduced to 80,000 gallons a day. The recommendations from the Mooresville office was that we would concur with the issuance or modification of the existing permit to the exnanded volume, provided our technical services in Raleigh deem that the receiving waters could assimilate that particular amount of waste water. POPE: You made reference to some technical services people. Are those people also in the same department of natural resources? PARKER: They are in the same department; they are located in our Raleigh Office. POPE: Have they made that determination? PARKER: I'm not exactly sure. I haven't seen what's called a waste load allocation, which is their final report, once the determination has been made. I have not seen a copy come through our office; however, I can't be sure that it hasn't already been made. The information that we have recently gotten from our division director, however, has indicated that the proposal that John Crosland has submitted for using the existing effluent line to pipe the effluent out is not going to be satisfactory, that they will have to move that line a given amount of distance further out into the channel of the lake. Our director has not told the regional office how far that particular distance would be; however, he's left it up to John Crosland to resubmit a proposal to us, and we will evaluate the proposal. The other alternative they would have would be possibly connection onto the Char lotte/Meck len- burg Utility Department, which is in another county. I don't know if that's feasible or not, based on their standpoint. POPE: Let me see if I understand what you've just said. The division director has made a preliminary determination that unless the discharge pipe is extended further in the lake he would not approve the granting of the permit. PARKER: Well, this not to say that they are not going to get the permit. They have a MPS permit now. The expansion may not be or will be tentatively not approved until their submittal showing the modified discharge pipe location has been submitted and approved by us. POPE: What is the criteria for determining that? PARKER: Well that particular decision has been made in Raleigh, and the information and criteria that made on that decision hasn't been relayed to me. I can't tell you exactly how that decision was made until I get further information. POPE: Mr. Parker, you have heard Mr. Lundy from our staff testify that there are computer models at twelve locations on the lake. Are you familiar with that? PARKER: Yes. That information is available in our technical services section in Raleigh, and that's what we call our modeling group, and those people are the ones that determine the limitations that are given to a certain facility that proposes a discharge, whether it be a lake or a stream or what have you. POPE: Is there a model in the area of this discharge? PARKER: Well, there is an existing model that was run on the existing facility for 10,000 gallons. As far as I know, as I stated earlier, I don't know if the model has been run on the proposed expansion yet. That information hasn't gotten down to our office yet. POPE: O.K. Maybe I don't understand what a model is. PARKER: Well, it's determining the limitations that would be contained in the permit. You know, the limitations that the facility would have to meet. POPE: When you say there have been models for twelve locations. Does that mean there are twelve discharge permits presently in the lake? PARKER: I don't know personally the exact number, because I don't work on every particular facility that is permitted on the lake. I would assume that there is probably near that figure, yes. POPE: So some kind of simulation or model would be done for each proposed discharge location? PARKER: That's correct. POPE: And do you have knowledge of whether that has been done for 80,000 gallon discharge at this site. PARKER: The only thing that I can assume, and it is an assumption at this point, is that a model maybe has been run, and that's the reason for the director's decision to ask that the discharge line be extended further out into the lake. That's the only assumption that I can make at this point. Since this information has come to me this morning, I don't have the complete details. POPE: What other information can you offer the commissioners that will help them in their decision? 892 eo PARKER: Like I said earlier, the Mooresville office is basically asked that we could recommend approval of the project provided that the technical service people has ascertained whether the water can be assimilated properly in the lake. We've also asked that the company meet all necessary buffer requirements and other guidelines that are specified in our administrative code with regards to other occupied dwellings, (not clear), and what have you, and obviously prior to issuance of any authorization, building or expanded facilities, they would have to be issued guidelines. And that's basically (not clear) standpoint. POPE: Are there questions of Mr. Parker from the commissioners? HEDRICK: My question, Mr. Parker, would be, that does your agency, your particular office, become involved in permitting discharges into the lake, I know in addition to Iredell County, certainly Mecklenburg and maybe Lincoln County also? PARKER: Lincoln and Catawba. HEDRICK: Catawba also? So all of the shoreline neighbors have to go through your office. PARKER: Right. HEDRICK: Do you have any idea how many systems are now discharging into Lake Norman from, say, the Catawba area? PARKER: Well, as he's indicated, these are done by counties, obviously, and there are three of us engineers that work in the office that issue permits for these facilities, and I personally do not work on everyone that comes into Lake Norman. The number that he's given us is twelve, would probably be a figure that I would feel comfortable with. There are other discharges in other counties. When he says there are twelve models on Lake Norman, that can very easily be Lincoln, Catawba, Mecklenburg, also. That's not just in Iredell County, no. HEDRICK: Some of those are, in fact, state-owned, are they? Like the rest area discharge? The one down at I-77? PARKER: Yes, DOT maintains that, that's correct. HEDRICK: That's the only questions I have. POPE: Any other questions from any of the commissioners? Any questions of Mr. Parker by the proponents, Crosland? MASSEY: Mr. Pope, I would rather Mr. Stewart ask the questions. Let one technical man talk to another, if you don't mind. POPE: That's fine. STEWART: This is a question of clarification. In reference to the Division of Human Resources regulations, relative to non-discharge subsurface disposal. In the respect if we had the operation by a private utility company, under state regulations, at this time, does that then come back under your division's supervision and monitoring? PARKER: Yes, if it is under a private utility. STEWART: 0.K. I just wanted to clarify that. In the respect that in this particular project, the proposal is that the facility, both water and sewer, be owned by a private utility company, owned and operated, and the regulations that would govern that are really the Division of Environmental Management's regulations, not the Division of Human Resources. POPE: Any other questions? SCOTT: I don't necessarily have any questions, but I would like to make a couple of points relative to his statements. POPE: Mr. Scott, you were sworn previously, as were the other people who offered testimony, you accept Mr. Parker, and we are acting on the assumption that all of the testimony is under oath, that persons are previously sworn are stil] sworn. SCOTT: As early as 8:30 this morning, I spoke with the supervisor of engineering and permits for the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources. His name is Arthur Mowberry; he's a P.E. with the state, and he had indicated that the state is in a position to issue a permit on this particular project, so I want the board, your board to know, that this is new news to us as well. It's something that we did not know about until now. But no matter what the case, we are going to comply with the State's requirements, whatever they might be, and we would like for you to realize that that particular issue, and this treatment plant is not specifically a matter relating to this rezoning. We're talking about land use here, and we will comply with whatever the States says as far as the discharge of the sewage treatment plant. We would like for you to consider based on that and not make this an issue of sewer treatment. POPE: Thank you. Any other questions from the proponents of Mr. Parker? Any questions of the opponents? am. BRYAN: Mr. Parker, all other things being equal, what is better, in your opinion as an expert, for Lake Norman as far sewer systems are concerned? Is it package plant, to dump the effluent in the lake? Or would it be the ground absorption units? PARKER: That's very difficult for me to answer. You are pretty much putting me on the spot when you ask me a question like that. They both have good and bad points. Information we've seen in the past has indicated that in some situations ground absorption systems can cause elevated levels of bacteria in lakes simply because they are placed in very close proximity to the lake itself, and the ground water is essentially a part of the lake once it moves underground and moves into the lake. The bacteria can move out there with it, so we've seen problems in that aspect. If a wastewater treatment plant was allowed to be improperly and maintained, obviously you would have problems, too. But I would have to say or interject that the experiences that I have had with package treatment plants and some of the ones I have seen operated on some of the other lakes that we have, not just Lake Norman, but some of the other lakes, have been producing very good quality effluent, and we haven't had any problems or any, what we would call complaints, as far as people having problems with water quality. BRYAN: Do you base that on imperial data or do you base that upon, are there any polluted lakes in North Carolina? PARKER: Every package treatment facility, every permitted facility, the operators and the owners are required to submit monitoring reports and that details the deficiency of the plant (not clear), and we can base our review and base our observations on the information that is submitted. BRYAN: So your personal opinion is that Lake Norman is better off with package treatment plants? PARKER: No, that's not my personal opinion, no sir. BRYAN: Well I asked for your personal opinion. PARKER: I don't know how relevant personal opinion, in this particular case, I don't know if it's going to make a difference. In this particular situation, since it is a zoning issue. BRYAN: Well, if there is enough land available and the septic tanks do not have to be placed in close proximity to the lake itself, which would be better, if you're not concerned with septic tanks? PARKER: We are evaluating the proposal as has been submitted, and we haven't been asked to evaluate the other proposal. If the other proposal was submitted, obviously we would give it the same consideration, but as it stands right now, the only thing we have to evaluate is the proposal that Crosland submitted for a package treatment plant. If they decided to turn around and go with a subsurface non-discharge system, we would evaluate that also. I can't sit here and say whether one is better than the other. A. STEWART: I have a question: What would be considered "close proxomity" to the lake when it comes to a subsurface treatment facility? Once it enters the groundwater, how far away from the lake would it have to be, and I can only assume that no matter how far away it is, if it is ona ridge traveling in that direction, it would ultimately reach the lake, although it would go through some clarifying and cleansing process on the way. PARKER: The easiest way to answer that question would be to find out the depth to groundwater at that particular site. I have seen, now this is not from the standpoint of my job, but I have, in discussion with some of the county sanitarians that have had to look at what we consider borderline sites that septic tanks were borderlined whether they should have been installed or not, the instal- lation of these facilities has been such a case that the septic tank drainlines were very, very close to the level of ground water, and in that case you do not have enough soil to provide optimum treatment of the wastewater prior to it entering ground water. An optimum distance would be far enough back where you had reasonable soil depth to treat the water prior to it entering the ground water table. All your septic tank effluent enters the ground water at some point in time, but if it is generally sufficiently treated, the bacteria has been stabilized in the soil, and it is not considered a pollutant once it enters the ground water at that point. I don't think there's an X amount of feet setback from a lake or what have you. POPE: Any other questions of Mr. Parker? Thank you, Mr. Parker. Any more testimony from the opponents? BRYAN: Will this be the only time of testimony? POPE: Well, I'm considering adjourning this. BRYAN: This is the last chance to address the board? POPE: The commissioners can decide to continue the hearing to as many dates as they wish. At this point I don't know of any reason why we would consider extending beyond today, if you want to. BRYAN: I'm only asking the question because if there's going to be another opportunity, I'l] wait. If not, I would like to sort of sum up what I've said. 893 894 POPE: Are you asking whether there will be another opportunity today? BRYAN: Yes. POPE: The rules provide that the opponents would give the closing statement first, and the proponents or the petitioners would give the last closing statement, that's apparently because they have the burden of proof to get the last bite at the cherry. BRYAN: Is that the stage we are at now? POPE: I'm trying to determine whether there is any more evidence before I determine that. (Changing to Tape #3) Is there further testimony from the opponents? BRYAN: Yes, sir. CLERK SWEARS ELLAR HICKS AS OPPONENT. MASSEY: Mr. Pope, again we, the proponents, do think this hearing has got to stop somewhere in time. This was properly advertised last time. All people who were to speak against the project were to be at the hearing according to your rules, otherwise they were not allowed to speak. POPE: I will allow this lady to speak just briefly. MASSEY: We would make that objection for the record. POPE: All right. HICKS: My name is Ellar Hicks and I am a member of Fairview United Methodist Church, and we have a church parsonage adjacent to the property that is being rezoned, and that parsonage is also adjacent to Knox's property which is been located on the map. We're not opposed to rezoning the area beside the parsonage. We're just opposed to what we've heard, you know, the way they are going to dispose of the waste, that's what we're concerned about. So we're not opposing the rezoning, it is just the treatment of the waste, and how they are going to dispose of that. POPE: All right, ma'am, are you aware that they propose to use a package treatment plant to dispose of the waste? HICKS: Yes. POPE: And is that your opposition to that? HICKS: Yes. I'm opposed to package plants, period. I feel like anything that is polluting Lake Norman, now that is polluting, because Lake Norman is not all free-flowing lake. It's got a lot of areas backed up. It's just standing water, and it's not, eventually down the road, it's going to be a problem, we see it. POPE: Are you aware of any problems at the present time? HICKS: Not in a sense that I can evaluate it. It's murky a lot, you know, in a lot of areas, especially the parts in the areas that are backed up. It's not getting free flow. I have children that go out on the lake, and it's already POPE: Mrs. Hicks, is the area where they propose to discharge this effluent one of the areas where you've seen that it's been red and murky? HICKS: Yes. POPE: What frequency have you seen that? HICKS: Mostly during the summer when we're there (not clear) I don't see it then, but during the summer months. POPE: Did you see it in the summer of 1987? HICKS: Yes. POPE: You're not saying, are you, that the redness and the murkiness of the water was related to the discharge from Castaway Shores, or are you/ HICKS: No, I can't, because I wouldn't have a way of analyzing this. POPE: Does anybody have any questions of Mrs. Hicks? MURDOCK: Do you live there or are you just there in the summer time? HICKS: I live on Shearers Chanel Road, which is not on the lake, but I am speaking in behalf of the church property. we HEDRICK: Just as a matter of record, has your church taken a position as a church body on the issue? HICKS: No, we just addressed it yesterday in our worship service to let people be aware of not so much being opposed to development, because we see that's going to happen, it's just disposing of the treated waste that we are concerned about. POPE: Any questions of Mrs. Hicks from the proponents? MASSEY: Mrs. Hicks, I take it then your church as taken no official position one way or the other. HICKS: No, not at this time. POPE: Any questions of Mrs. Hicks from the opponents? Mrs. Hicks, do you wish to make any other statements? HICKS: Mo, sir. POPE: Thank you very much. Any other testimony from the opponents? Any rebuttal testimony? MASSEY: We don't have any more testimony. We will have a summation (not clear). POPE: I would like to ask Mr. Stewart a question or two. Mr. Stewart, you are still sworn. Sir, the question has arisen concerning the treatment of chemicals in the plant that you have designed for this project, would you address us on how chemi- cals will be treated? STEWART: The chemicals you are referring to typical household type? POPE: Any chemicals that might get flushed down a drain, toilet. STEWART: The facilities that we have at this point conceptually proposed have not yet been designed. But the concepts that have been proposed and that are, have, at this point, been made a part of the permit application, would involve physical, biological, and chemical treatment proces- ses. Physical being, for example, rough screening of any large materials that for some reason might get to the treatment plant, rags, or that kind of material. Also filtration is a physical process by which we would filter out any final minute solids. Chemical in terms of chlorine useage for disinfection. There are a number of ways for disinfection; however, because of the discharge to the lake, chlorine represents the most positive means of killing all the bacteria that we would expect to come from the treatment plant. The main frame of the treatment process will be biological, which is used on all package plants, in this particular case, I might just point out that the processes that we are using are not not solely associated with just package treatment. I mean municipalities also use these basic chemical processes where we were talking about domestic waste. Those municipalities that have lots of industrial waste may add other processes; for example, the City of Newton at this time uses a chemical process called lime treatment because of the (not clear) indus- trial waste there, more specifically textile waste. In general, the performance of the plants of this type across the state, and there are literal- ly hundreds of this type facility, on strictly domestic waste have not had any problems in achieving and meeting the (not clear) and preventing pollution with respect to the typical discharge you would see receive from normal residences. The concentrations, for example, dishwashing cleaners, and that kind of thing, are typically not of a character that inhibit or prevent the treatment of the waste. I have been associated with the investigation of certain circumstances in which you do have that kind of problem arise. For example, this past year we were involved in a Union County School project, which because of a change in cafeteria personnel they went to a different type of detergent for cleaning the dishes, which immediately caused a problem in the plant. But [ might just point out that the concentrations that were involved were of such a magnitude that that's where the problem arose. I'm not sure I'm answering your question. POPE: I don't think you've answered it yet. The question is not the manner of treating the organic matter, but the manner of treating the non-organic matter. The manner of treating the chemicals that will get spilled or poured into the drain or whatever. How will those chemicals be removed from the water before the water is discharged into the lake? STEWART: If I might just say it over again, the concentrations, I suppose that there is a remote possibility that some contaminant could be poured down, for example if somebody poured a jar of mercury down the drain, which would be a pretty unusual circumstance, that the plant would have problems with that, there's no question. But the typical cleaners and what not that are found in households and are used regularly, the plants processes, biological, physical, and chemical, remove those. They are eventually disposed of in terms of the ultimate solids disposed of which, as we explained originally, are taken away from this plant. They are not disposed of at this plant. That may be a question that you would like to address to Mike. If they have had situations on similar facilities, not only on the lake, but other places where they are treating domestic waste, have they had a situation occur where a chemical from a typical household has come through. As far as I know, we have not had that type situation. 896 POPE: There isn't any means, then, of treating a non-biodegradable chemical other than set- tling. I guess the solids would settle out. STEWART: That's correct. The biological activity in terms of the concentration, that's one of those things that, If the contaminant, for example, as I related as far as the school system, is a concentration such as the (not clear) bacteria that are assimilated (not clear), yes, that would create a problem and that problem would be observed immediately. This type of facility is monitored daily, and if there is a problem, it becomes obvious immediately. POPE: Any other questions of Mr. Stewart? STEWART: Could I make one last statement? There are municipal facilities that utilize the same basic processes as proposed here. They assimilate, again, the same type of waste that we get in a typical household. POPE: Yes, I understand that. (Not clear). Any other questions of Mr. Stewart. I would like to ask one other question of Mr. Parker. HEDRICK: The lady back here is trying to speak. POPE: I didn't see you. Yes ma'am, Mrs. Hicks? HICKS: The question is the waste treatment for virsuses? STEWART: The final disinfection procedure is the process that we utilize as far as bacterial and viral type treatment. As far as the only other thing that, in fact, as far as biological treatment, as far as the assimilation of the waste is primary process in the plant is biological, that is the natural bacteria that is (not clear) into the process. Viruses are certainly far more resistant to chlorine than the other bacteria that occur. There's no monitoring at this time as far as viruses, there's no monitoring required for virus, per se. The monitoring is presently done the way (not clear). POPE: Thank you. I was just going to ask Mr. Parker, I think Mr. Stewart might have just answered the question, for what items do your people monitor? Do they monitor for chemical discharge, viral and bacterial? PARKER: Permits in general? POPE: All permits. PARKER: Well, there is, we also have different types of wastes that are being discharged, whether it is domestic or industrial, and there's many hundreds of different types of industrial waste that have specific federal limitations that are prescribed by the federal government that they have to monitor for these particular parameters. For domestic waste water, there are certain parameters that are indicators of the strength of the waste that is being discharged, and the frequency that they are analyzed for, whether it be daily, twice a week, monthly, or whatever, depends on the size of the facility. It is given a particular classification, one through four, and based on the size of the facility, that's how often these particular parameters are analyzed for. POPE: How would this one be classified? PARKER: 0.K. When it's increased to 80,000. The classification is based not only on the size, it's based on the number of units, the particular treatment units that are present with the facility. I haven't seen the final design yet of the facility, so I can't give you an exact classification on the facility at this point in time. I do have a copy of their existing facility; I can tell you what they are monitoring for presently, but when they submitted, if and when it is approved, and existing facility are constructed, that's when they will be reclassified. POPE: Are you presently monitoring for chemical pollutants? PCB's and all that? PARKER: No, sir. That's not listed in the present permit regulations. POPE: What are you monitoring for? Do you know if the lake in general is being monitored for the build up of chemicals? PARKER: Our particular office does not take a specific sample on any specific location .on that particular body of water. We do have other ambience stations that our stream monitor picks up ambient samples to determine water quality at those locations. The only monitoring that I know of that has been going on on the lake is general water quality data, such as dissolved oxygen, tempera-~ ture, pH, that Duke Power taking, and they relate that to the efficiency of their generating sta- tions and also determine fish, habitat, and quality of that sort of thing. That's the only samples that I know are being taken at this point in time. The analysis that is being required to be sampled for, as it stands right now, and I can give you the analysis, I can give you the limitations, and I can give you the frequency that's being taken, however you'd like to have +h POPE: Give me the frequency. PARKER: 0.K. They have to sample flow on a continuous method. In other words they have a recorder that records a continuous flow. The (not clear) and the demand for B.0.D. (not clear) is sampled twice a month. Total suspended residue is sampled twice a month, ammonia is sampled monthly, fecal chloroform, which is your bacteria count, is sampled twice a month, residual chlorine is sampled daily, temperature is sampled weekly, total nitrogen is sampled quarterly, and total phosphorus is sampled quarterly. POPE: Who does these samples that you are talking about? PARKER: This is the limitations that are developed by our technical services group. POPE: Your people do that? PARKER: Right. Our people in Raleigh. POPE: O.K. Thank you. Any more questions of Mr. Parker? BRYAN: I think you meant, Mr. Parker, who literally does that? Who takes the sample out of the unit, your people? Or Mid-South? PARKER: (not clear) POPE: It's turned into you all for you to evaluate. PARKER: Right. In the monthly monitoring report. POPE: Mrs. Hicks? HICKS: Do they monitor for viruses then? PARKER: There is no specific monitoring for viruses. POPE: Thank you. I'll take closing statements, apparently being no further evidence. The opponents will go first. BRYAN: The main concern, and I'll be somewhat repetitive, because you have heard this a couple or three years ago. The main concern that I have for Lake Norman is even though I'm located maybe fifteen miles from Lake Norman, it is my contention and people laughed when I said it the first time, and it is still my contention that everyone that lives on Lake Norman has common boundary with everybody else on Lake Norman, and that's the lake itself. What happens ten miles upstream affects the property owners who have lake shore lots further on down the lake. So, in my opinion, even though I'm aware of the fact that law does not view it as such as being a common boundary, I certainly feel that with Lake Norman the common boundary line that everyone has is the lake itself. If that is so, logic tells me that's so, even if the law may not say it is so, my logic says, then, that what happens in any one part of the lake eventually affects the whole lake. The problem that I have ascertained and which I spoke about earlier is that a million gallons of effluent every two weeks being discharged into this neck is an awful lot of effluent. I think that I have asked Mr. Parker this, and he didn't testify to it, so if you don't take my word for it, we may have to get him back, there are no studies currently have been done on current flow within a neck like this. There are no flows. We know that topography underneath the water because this originally was mapped land, so we can see where the ravines and the depths and curves are which might affect effluent being dumped into the lake. We can see how if you are dumping and there is a ridge 50’ in front of you, where, and it's below that, how the effluent could build up behind the ridge and then spill over and not be diffused as we think it's being diffused. Because it is not being dumped into a moving body of water. It is basically being dumped into a static body of water, and I don't believe there is an expert in the room, or in the state, that can tell us what is going to be the result of after five years of dumping a million gallons of effluent every ten days or two weeks into this body of water. That nothing has been done on that. Now, we have talked with great scientific sounding things about computer models. Computer model is no better than the model that is built. The computer model that the state has got is not a computer model is not a computer model of this lake or of this area that we are proposing to dump this effluent. The computer they have is a textbook model lake. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that there is no current flow here. They just take the amount of water and the amount of effluent, they punch the numbers in and it comes up good, fine, and if it doesn't come up good, they change it, tell them to move the pipe somewhere. And I'm saying this because I sincerely believe that Lake Norman is a natural resource that we cannot afford to let go bad. This was bourne out, in my opinion, by the state writing the letter saying that it is more environmentally sound to use septic systems on Lake Norman than it is package treatment plants. I still feel the same way. I think the state still feels the same way. We have the same danger here that we had when Heronwood first proposed what they wanted to do. You know, it turned out that they couldn't do what they wanted to do. And 1 think that if everytime an agency approves something, it gives more strength to the argument when they go to the next agency. And what I would like to see happen is for you not to approve anything until this question is answered, because if you conditionally approve it based upon the state saying something, that gives a stronger argument to them to go ahead and get it done because they can Say, Iredell County Commissioners approved it. I'm not arguing against the rezoning if they will dispose of the effluent on the land, but I would sincerely argue to you that we should not do things in an unknown fashion, and believe me, there is no empirical data about this Davidson neck here. No one knows what happens in there. And for us to go ahead and do it, what's happening is the Department of Human Resources, which is going to have to approve it, and I don't even know if they've been contacted yet, but with the Davidson water intake right across the lake from it, somebody is going to have to answer the question of what's going to happen to the water intake after a couple of years or three years, and at this point nobody can do it, no one can do it. So instead of approving it and then depending on € 397 898 somebody else to do it, I can almost assure that the State of North Carolina recognizes the power of the county commissioners, and their wishes, and if you don't approve this, the State won't make you approve it. The State will not make you do it. If you do it, then the State is free to go either way, but they want to recognize your wishes because they realize that you people know what's best for Iredell County. The State's some nebulous thing down there in Raleigh. We're the ones that will have to live with Lake Norman. Statesville will be the one that will be drawing the water out of Lake Norman in a few years. Everybody is going to be utilizing Lake Norman. And I don't believe that there is anyone that can prove, and I think that's what you've got to do, is prove it, not say we'll depend on someone else to take care of us. I think what you've got to say is prove to us that what you want to do will not damage the lake, and I think the power or the onus is on anyone who wants to do something to prove it, not say, We think this and We think that, and the State says this, because I'm telling you, no one at this point knows, and so I ask you again, if you approve it, approve it with the condition that they have to dispose of the effluent on land and not allow the dumping into the lake. And I think if you don't do that, hold up any approval until they do design a package plant, until we do get the questions answered, until you do see where the State tells them they are going to have to run the line, if they run it at all. I think you should wait on that before you approve unless they want to dispose of it on land. And I will be glad to leave with you if you will give them back to me, these letters. And I have one other letter that I would like to sum up with that was written by Congressman McMillan directed to the Secretary of Natural Resources in Raleigh, and I will leave you the letter. MASSEY: Objection, Mr. Pope. BRYAN: It doesn't have anything to do, it has to do with a comprehensive plan for the lake. It doesn't have to do with individuals dumping into the Jake. MASSEY: We would object to introduction of any more evidence at this time. POPE: I'm not going to receive it as evidence. !f you want to read from it, I don't have any objection to that. BRYAN: Well, I'll just read one paragraph. It says, "Public hearings are suitable for each case, but I think a coordinated effort by local officials on a commission or a panel would serve a greater purpose of targeting the long-range needs of the Catawba River Basin due to the projected population growth in the area, and in-depth study plan may be appropriate. He is referring not only to Iredell County, he is referring to all the counties around the lake and also to the State officials to try to get everyone together to get some comprehensive plan put together for the Catawba Drainage Basin into Lake Norman, because piecemeal approach is very difficult. No one really knows what the rules are. Each time a package treatment plant is approved, that strengthens the case for the package treatment plant. And if we allow this thing to go on piecemeal, by the time we do discover what is happening, it will be very difficult then to go back and undo what is already done. I just ask you not to approve it on the basis as it is presented. To day anything on it until the questions are answered, and I don't believe the third question that you asked has been answered. POPE: Mr. Massey. MASSEY: We'll let Mr. Bryant do our summation. BRYANT: For the record, my name is Fred Bryant. I have been sworn and previously testified. Let me very briefly summarize what I think, what I see as being the desired result of this type of discussion. And to do that, I really would like to begin by trying to refocus your objection on what is good land use planning. That is what this is really all about. That is what any zoning matter, any issue related to the use of land should be about, what is good land use. We would submit to you that we have presented to you in previous meeting ample physical evidence so as to the prepared plans, and as to the verbal testimony to indicate to you that this is a superior plan of development for this property. I would submit to you that it is a superior plan to the development that could go on the property right today. And I remind you that this property is now zoned so that it could be developed with only a somewhat smaller amount of lots than is proposed for this land. It is not as if the land, by your decision today, is going to remain unused, uncommitted to any purpose. That is not what you are saying by your decision today if it were to be an adverse decision. What you're saying is that the plan which we have presented to you today, in your opinion, is not the appropriate use of this property. It does not mean that tomorrow or next week or next month, someone could not come back, come back, not to you necessarily, but come back with a subdivi- sion plan for the development of this property, into I think we have already determined to our satisfaction that we could get 138 individual lots on this property. And that could be done any- time, because it meets your basic requirements of your ordinance. And I would submit to you further that what we have presented to you is a strong indication of what we consider to be good land use layout, good land use planning for this property. We will pledge to you, if we have to, that all technical requirements will be met to develop this property, and this technical requirements of the state, of the county, of Duke Power, anyone else, because there is a whole host of agencies and regulatory devices that come into play here. We have to meet those technical requirements. Again, let me refer to the fact that in the main, this property can be used in a very urban fashion under present zoning. The same basic sewer system, in my estimation, and I think this could be bourne out with people who are more technically qualified than I am in that respect, that if this property were developed to its maximum under existing zoning, it probably would come back to be developed under the same type of basic system that we are proposing to you, as far as sewer is concerned. And so I say that to you to indicate to you that your decision should be whether or not what we have presented to you is a good land use plan for this property. The technical aspect of (iy é the sewer, of the water, everything else, is regulated, right down the line, and we will adhere to all those regulations. And I would submit to you that many of the problems which any development, any urbanizing area has, will be present in this area whether it is develop in accord with our plan or developed in accord with the basic zoning that is already in effect here. To go back to the sewer aspect of this project, the State is the one that will make the ultimate determination as to whether or not this is a feasible project. I would refer you to the fact that we have attempted the last several months to prepare and present to you material that would indicate that we have followed the outline of your Ordinance requirements, and unless I am badly mistaken in my interpretation, what you presented to you last time dealt with the fact that as far as the sewer system is concerned, we only have to certify that the water system and the sewer system shall be reviewed by the North Carolina Division of Health Services and the Iredel] County Health Department, or other appropriate State agencies, and that final approval by such agencies is required before building permits may be issued for PRD's. 1 will submit to you that irrespective of your decision today, we still have to go through that final process and get the state to check off and approve it right down the line as far as that is concerned. And we accept that responsibility. Some reference was made a moment ago to the Human Resources Department. They have been contac- ted and they have indicated preliminarily at least that they are not aware of problems with this project. I would remind you that we are only talking about an increase in density here from two units per acre under the present ordinance to approximately 2.45 under our proposal. As offset to that with good land use, we presented to you a whole host of maps, and information to demonstrate what this project was going to be like quality-wise. 1 would submit to you, and I think perhaps we should have said this at the last meeting, that we consider everything that we gave you last time, maps, statements, descriptions of buffering, everything that went into that description, we have considered to be binding. We consider that if you approve what we presented to you, we are bound by you to adhere the requirements of those plans, and we intend to. So I would just like to say in closing that please focus your attention on what is good land use posuere - We think that we have presented to you a quality plan. We have a certainly a quality developer who is willing to come and commit to this type of development for the area, and we would just ask that you please allow this project to set the example which we think we can in terms of what is good land use development for Iredel] County. And, again, we will adhere to every regula- tion, everything that the State says has to be done as far as final technical approval. If it cannot be secured, we will not have a project, it's that simple. We think we can adhere to it, and we will provide the project that you and everyone else in this county will be proud of. Thank you very much. POPE: Thank you, Mr. Bryant. Before we close the public hearing, do any of the commissioners have any questions of anybody? MURDOCK: I have one. Maybe I misunderstood. When you first opened, you said your company would do all, meet all the requirements that you had presented last time. BRYANT: That's correct. MURDOCK: But in closing, you said you would do everything that the State says you must do. BRYANT: No, I was talking about the technical requirements as it relates to the sewer. MURDOCK: I wanted to be sure in my mind. BRYANT: We will meet all the technical requirements that we have to. MURDOCK: I realize that. But you are also going to do what you first statement _ BRYANT: Absolutely. Mr. Lundy has the maps over here, the plans that we presented last time, which was the site plan, the buffering details, the illustrative indication of what was there, all of that is binding and will be adhered to. POPE: Before we close the public hearing, I would remind the commissioners that a number of the points that Mr. Bryant had indicated that would be adhered to, according to my notes are as follows: - The pump station and treatment facility would be fenced with a solid wooden fence 6' high. - The area of the proposed PRD in which there are existing natural hardwood buffers would be maintained for depth at least of 80'. - The area that had no natural buffers would be buffered by berms which would be planted with vegetation sufficient to screen it from adjoining property and maintained for a depth of at least 80'. - The treatment plant would have a standby generator. 899 900 - None of the treatment plant would be visible above the ground except the portions of the standby generator and the electrical control panel. - The treatment facility would be equipped with a flow equalization. - The facility would be equipped with an effluent filter. - The facility would be equipped an automatic monitoring with a telephone dialing into an answering service for malfunctions. - No solids would be treated or disposed of on the site, but would be pumped off and disposed of and treated away from the site by a public utility. - The blowers would be equipped with silencers and would be mounted on concrete piers with rubber bumpers. - The well site, the pump stations, and all of the water/sewer lines will be deeded to a public utility which will be regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. - Appropriate permits would be obtained from the NRCD, which would allow a discharge of no more than 80,000 gallons per day. - All of the proposed residences will be single-family dwellings. - The density would be not greater than 2.45 per acre. If you will recall, there may have been other representations made. Those are representations that I noted that were made at the last hearing. Unless there are some further questions, I will turn it back over the Mr. Hedrick, and the board can go into regular session. HEDRICK: I move that we close this public hearing and reconvene into regular session to dispose of the matter before the board. Are there any discussions on the motion? AYES - 5; Nays - 0. (Changing to Tape 4) HEDRICK: We are now in regular session for the purpose of considering the request by John Crosland Company to rezone from R/A to PRD the property that has been discussed. Is there a motion to consider? REZONING OF CROSLAND PROPERTY, CASE #1187-1, LOCATED ON LANGTREE AND GUDGER ROADS, MORE SPECI- FICALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 14 & 15, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map 2A; and Lot 14, Block B, of Iredell County Tax Map 2B. CROSSWHITE: Mr. Chairman, I move that we rezone this property from R/A to PRD, as recommended unanimously by the planning board on November 4, 1987, subject to the approval by the appropriate State agencies. Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON LANGTREE AND GUDGER ROADS, MORE SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED AS LOTS 14 & 15, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map 2A; and Lot 14, Block B, of Iredell County Tax Map 2B. CROSSWHITE; Mr. Chairman, I move that we approve the request for a Special Use Permit, subject to the Findings of Fact, and that we instruct Mr. Pope, our attorney, to prepare the Findings of Fact for the commissioners’ approval. Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. POPE: Are you intending to attach any conditions to the permit? HEDRICK: I assume the Findings of Fact would include those conditions that you just read, including but not be limited to those. If there is a need to further identify those special conditions, we will consider that. POPE: Are you directing me to prepare the Findings, including these items that I read earlier and also a condition of the issuance of the special use permit that these items be complied with? HEDRICK: Let's clear it up by moving to that end. MASSEY: You all have used the word “public utility", I think it's a private utility that will be operating our facilities, whatever that's worth. HEDRICK: 0O.K. Webber, Mid-South is a private utility. pOPE: For the record, I understand Mrs. Crosswhite's motion to be to approve the issuance of the Special Use Permit on condition that the items read by me in public hearing be complied with, be a condition of the issuance of the special use permit. Are there any other items that you wish to make conditions? HEDRICK: Of course, all those plans presented to us will certainly be included in that. CROSSWHITE: That is correct. Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CONGRESSMAN MCMILLAN'S LETTER REGARDING LAKE NORMAN: Chairman Hedrick said he would like to say the board appreciates Congressman McMillan's letter. He further stated that the board had agreed to contact, as soon as this meeting is over, the chairs of the other three counties involved in the sharing of Lake Norman, and request that they be in attendance with someone of their staff that would be able to begin discussions relative to the future of Lake Norman, and, hopefully, the maintenance of its resource as an area that we can use for recreation as well as for water in the future. As soon as we hear from the three counties, they will be able to begin formulating some information that will result in a plan for the Catawba Basin referred to earlier.

PETITION FOR A SEPARATE FIRE TAX DISTRICT, COOL SPRINGS: The board acknowledged receipt of a petition received in reference to a separate fire tax district for Cool Springs. The county mana- ger, Mr. Wayne Deal, discussed the validating procedure of the petition. He said that validating the petition was very involved. The county is presently experiencing some soft waré problems with its mapping programs, and the petition would be very difficult to process under the circumstances. A question was raised by one of the board members as to why Cool Springs would want to form a separate fire tax district in lieu of what is being done now for the fire departments. Commissioner Alice Stewart asked for a copy of the Cool Springs budget for the current fiscal year. Mr. Deal said copies of the budgets are in the finance department. Chairman Hedrick said he would like to see a letter from the fire department's board of direc- tors and chief outlining the reason they chose to have the board of commissioners consider this petition. If there is a problem, Chairman Hedrick said he was not aware of it. However, Chairman Hedrick said if there is a problem, perhaps it could be rectified, which would be easier than setting up another district. He asked the county manager to ask the fire department officials these questions, and the county manager said he would communicate this to the fire department. HERONWOOD PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: ‘Mr. Jerry Lundy reported that ‘he had réceived a letter from the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington, dated November 20, 1987. The gist of the letter is that Heronwood has proposed to build a bridge and causeway at the Heronwood site to the ‘island located off shore. The island is also the property of the Heronwood development. The Corps of Engineers has stated they would appreciate a response from the county regarding this proposal. Mr. Lundy said he has received no plans to review. Chairman Hedrick said until the board has something to act on, it would have to be said that the board cannot approve it. After further discussion it was the consensus of the board that a letter would be written to the Corps of Engineers stating that the county has not received a plan to review; however, an ordinance is in existence that covers this type of situation. A copy of the ordinance would be enclosed for the Crops of Engineers' review. Mr. Pope, county attorney, said that there may be some federal regulations since that is a navigable body of water. MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to send this proposed letter. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. (Letter mailed on December 29, 1987.) HOLLY FARMS: This matter was addressed by the board and staff. A question was raised by the county attorney, Mr. Bill Pope, asking if the board would like to extend the time for an additional 90 days to allow the county chairman and county attorney an opportunity to meet with the Holly Farms officials and try to work out an agreement that would be satisfactory to both parties. ih si MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to extend the period for reaching an agreement on the Holly Farms sludge disposal problem to March 31, 1988, which is a 90-day extension. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. TAP-ON AND ACREAGE FEES - I-77 AND NC-150 WATER AND SEWER LINE PROJECT: Mr. Deal brought the board up-to-date on the matter of the study being done by Camp-Dresser-McKee for the tap-on and acreage fees to be charged for tanping on the water and sewer lines at the captioned site. There were some developers and companies who originally put money into the project that would be exempt from the acreage fees. These are Lake Norman Land Associates, McKnight Pontiac-Buick, Kathadias, Yoko, and Ebert. The State is requesting that a portion of the funds collected for acreage fees be returned to them to compensate for the State funds spent on this project. Mr. Deal said those companies who originally put money into the project would be exempt from the acreage fees. However, all companies who wish to tap on would be charged an acreage fee and a tap-on fee. Mr. Deal said the City of Mooresville has been reluctant to make a commitment for sewer from Mooresville until the fees have been established. Mr. Deal said he would like for the record to show, however, that the original investors would be exempt from the acreage fees. No board action taken. MT. MOURNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Mr. Jerry Lundy brought the board up to date on the building plans at the Mt. Mourne Elementary School. The school officials have not been able to obtain a building permit because they have not received written permission from the City of Mooresville for sewage disposal. Mr. Lundy said the Inspections Office could not issue a building permit until they have complied with this requirement. Elmore Construction Company is the general contractor, and Mr. Lundy said a building permit could not be issued until the sewage disposal permit was received from the Town of Mooresville. Mr. Lundy said Mooresville has not said they will take the sewage; Mooresville has discussed it and says they don't think there will be a problem; however, a letter is needed from the Town of Mooresville setting forth a definite commitment. Chairman Hedrick inquired how many similar sewage systems in the school system may be at the point of failure. Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if the State Health people inspect these facilities and could the County get a copy of their findings on the different sewer systems. MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite that the county ask for copies from the appropriate monitoring agencies for the sewage treatment systems of all county schools with notations of all deficiencies or problems. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. BUDGETS FROM INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS REQUESTED: Commissioner Murdock requested the individual school budgets that show how much money is allocated to each school, and that this request be made of all three school systems. SCHOOL BUDGETS TO BE STUDIED: The county manager suggested that Mr. Ed Regan of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners might be available to come to a board meeting to discuss and help the board to understand the school budgets. SIGNATURES FOR COUNTY CHECKS: MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to authorize Chairman Larry Hedrick and Vice Chairman Alice Stewart to sign all checks for the county. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. RESOLUTION FROM NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Mr. Deal presented the board with a resolution from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners regarding additional retirement funds that are being proposed for various elected officials. This matter is to be placed on the agenda for January. DR. DONALD HAYMAN BILL FOR ASSISTING IN COUNTY MANAGER SEARCH: A bill was presented to the board from Dr. Donald Hayman with an accompanying letter from Dr. Hayman requesting that the board pay 1/2 the usual amount that is charged for his services.

Mr. Deal said he thought the original investors can go ahead and tap onto the system. He said he believed he had given Mooresville Town Office what they needed to permit the tap onto the line. Mr. Deal has turned this matter over to Mr. Jerry Lundy, who has written a letter to the State regarding the water and sewer fund allocations from the state to this project. An inquiry was made about the proposed acreage fees that are to be charged for persons other than the original investor participants in this program and what the state would expect to receive from them as a partial repayment of the state funds. Mr. Bob Henshaw, the contact person in Raleigh, told Mr. Lundy that he believed the original investors had paid an adequate amount for acreage fee in their original investment. Mr. Lundy addressed the building of the Food Lion Store on the Ebert property as well as the Bank of Iredell, which are about ready to open for business.

Mr. Lundy said these offices need to remain in close proximity to the other county offices such as tax offices. Following this discussion, Chairman Hedrick said he would meet with the City officials, Mayor Bentley and Mr. Connet, to discuss this matter further.

Plans are to house the : offices of county manager, personnel, finance and purchasing, with the second floor court room being +l used for the commissioners’ meeting room. The building will be equipped with an elevator and will meet handicapped codes. The concrete walk way between the court house and the court house annex will be closed in and equipped with handicapped entrance to both buildings. Mr. Krider and the county committee appointed to look into this project recommend that the old building be restored as nearly to the original appearance as possible with the space being adapted for most efficient use. Mr. Krider says the major cost will be in the heating, air conditioning and rewiring of the building. The estimated cost at this point is $900,000 (17,200 s.f. @$52/sq.ft). The plans have been reviewed and approved by the Department of History and Archives in Raleigh, who took special note that the building is to be restored to a useful and productive use, which they believe will cause the building to be preserved more readily. The board discussed the cost of preparing the working drawings, at which point, it would be ready for bid advertisement. Mr. Krider said the charge would be 80% of the overall charge of 6% of the total construction contract (6% of $900,000 x 80%), or a total cost through bidding of $43,200. This amount will take the project through the phase of receiving bids. Twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) was approved by the board to be paid to Design Associates on August 18, 1987, with an initial $367.50 approved on March 18, 1987, leaving a balance due through the receipt of bids of $17,832.50.

All witnesses were sworn and evidence was offered by the staff, by the proponents and by the opponents, at the conclusion of which the COMMISSIONERS made the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. A public hearing was duly held on December 1, 1987, at 7:30 p.m. in the manner prescribed by law. Said public hearing was continued to December 14, 1987, at which time it was reconvened. All proponents and opponents of the John Crosland request for rezoning and special use permit application received Public Notice of the hearing as required by the zoning ordinance and were given an opportunity to be heard. 2. William P. Pope, county attorney for Iredell County, explained the rules of procedure and rules of evidence to be followed. 3. The matter came on for Public Hearing as a result of a simultaneous application for rezoning and for a special use permit application for a certain 79.668 acre tract of real estate located on the shores of Lake Norman in Iredell County, North Carolina. 4. The property consists of a 79.668 acre tract shown on Exhibit A (site plan), Exhibit B (planemetric map), and Exhibit C (metes and bounds survey). All such land is contiguous. The development will include 195 lots. Each lot is restricted to one single-family dwelling. No building of a non-residential character will be built except as built in the common areas to house common ammenities. 5. The project will consist of one phase with no future additions contemplated. Thirty lots will be lake-front single family, thirty-five lots will be lake-view single family, sixty lots will be lake access single family, and seventy lots will be single-family patio homes. Average density will be 2.45 units per acre. Each lot will be restricted and dwellings will be located on the lots according to a master plan. No building in the project will exceed 35 feet in height. Set backs shall be as shown on Exhibit P-1 (Rezoning Plan). Configuration of lots, vehicular circulation, access points, boat slips and parking areas are subject to minor modifications as necessary to accommodate definitive development plans. The number of units in each category shall be considered as maximum quantity. Less lots may be developed at the owners' discretion. 6. No above-ground sewage treatment facility will be built. Sewage will be provided through a package treatment facility with discharge into Lake Norman only at a location and in amounts (not to exceed 80,000 gallons per day) and with quality approved and monitored by appropriate state and federal agencies. The control panels and standby generators for the facility will be above ground. Likewise, the top of the package treatment plant will be six inches above grade to prevent surface drainage from entering plant. 7. Water will be supplied to the development by a sufficient number of wells developed on the property. 8. Both the water and sewer systems for the development will be operated by private utility companies regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. 9. 10.1 acres of commonly owned open space will be conveyed to the property owners associa- tion. The common open space shall be maintained by the homeowners' association. The applicant submitted documentation on how the common space will be maintained. 10. All technical development standards set forth by Section 87.2 of the Irede!1 County Zoning Ordinance required to be met prior to the hearing date and action by the commission have been met. All other development standards will be met before any of the property is sold. Plans and specifi- cations will be approved by the Department of Transportation and the PRD water system and sewer system shall be reviewed and approved by the North Carolina Division of Health Services, the Iredel] County Health Department, or other applicable state agencies. All preliminary reviews by said agencies required by the zoning ordinance have been made. 11. The Iredell County Planning Board voted 10-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning and the issuance of a special use permit. Banos + — 12. The streets shown on Exhibit A marked “Public Street" will be built to the Department of Transportation Specifications and will remain private streets until accepted for maintenance by the Department of Transportation. All "Private Streets" will not necessarily be built to Department of Transportation specifications but will have 30 feet of right of way and will have a minimum pavement of 20 feet. Private streets will not be maintained by the Department of Transportation but will be maintained by a property owners association made up of the owners of the lots fronting the private streets. The primary streets and thoroughfares are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic. 13. The boundaries of the property will be buffered from adjoining properties as shown on the approved plan. See Exhibit P-1 (Rezoning Plan), and Exhibit P-2 (Supplemental Details Cross Sec- tions). The buffering shown on those plans meet the requirements of 87.2(h) of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance. 14. The development creates an environment of sustained desirability and stability. 15. The property will be controlled by master restrictive convenants duly recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds of Iredell County with reference to same being made in each deed.

Precautions will be taken to protect the quality of water in Lake Norman from discharge of sewage and from runoff and erosion as required by Section 87.11 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance. Provisions shall be made for adequate design of grades and drainage so as to make due allowance for storm waters and to prevent erosion and the formation of dust and to protect the waters of Lake Norman. 17. The property subject to this special use permit does not contain an island. 18.

The application before the Zoning Board and the Commissioners is complete. 20. Each lot will be provided with off-street parking space for at least two vehicles. 21. Private boat slips may be built for each lakefront lot. A community boat docking facility will be built for use by nonlakefront property owners in the development.

The pool, tennis courts, parking facilities, community boat slips and landings and other ammenities in the development will be for the exclusive use of the residents of the development and their guests. 23. The developer has agreed to the following special conditions imposed upon the special use permit issued hereby: a. The sewer treatment plant (package treatment plant and pump station) i. Will be located and buffered in accordance with 41.6 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance and in accordance with the Iredell County waste water disposal system ordinance.

The proposed development will be located and operated so as not to create a nuisance to nearby residential areas. 4. Adequate precautions will be taken to protect the quality of the water of Lake Norman from discharge, runoff and erosion. 5. The factors set out in Section 87.7 of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance have been considered and evaluated and the proposed development will create an environment of sustained desirability and stability. 6. It is the best interest of the citizens and taxpayers of Iredell County that the developer be allowed to proceed and that the property be rezoned to PRD and that a SPECIAL USE PERMIT be granted with the express understanding that the developer will comply with the findings of fact contained herein and the representations made by it to the commissioners at the hearings on December 1 and December 14, 1987. Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions, and upon a vote of 5-0, the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County hereby ORDERS, ADJUDGES AND DECREES that the property of John Crosland Company described in Exhibits A, B and C be rezoned to PRD and that a special use permit be, and it hereby is, approved, granted and issued in the form and substance as set out in the application, subject to and upon the express conditions, however, that the conditions and specifica- tions set forth in Finding of Fact Number 23 above shall be incorporated into and made a part of this approval.

POLICY FOR SNOW DAYS FOR COUNTY OFFICES: Chairman Hedrick asked Mr. Furches to address the policy regarding employees' compensation for days of snow when there may be a termination of a full work day, and what departments may or may not be included in whatever compensatory action that might be in line. Mr. Furches said the staff would be given the time that was not worked on Thursday afternoon and Friday ((January 14 and 15). For those that did work they were paid and those that did not work were also paid. The emergency departments (maintenance, garage, EMS, Sheriff, EOC, fire marshal, landfill) were required to work as a normal work day. No additional compensation will be given for those who did work. The standard policy for the county is that the County works when it snows. Last year (1987) was the first time the offices closed for bad weather. The big problem is parking lot, not getting to work. The policy says county employees will work. Commissioner Stewart inquired if there is a snow removal policy, an emergency plan set up in case it snows that everybody who is supposed to clear snow knows what is required of them. Mr. Furches said the responsibility is the maintenance department's. There is no plan. Commissioner Stewart said there should be a plan. Chairman Hedrick requested that the maintenance supervisor be contacted and make some sort of arrangement with landfill and/or the City of Statesville. Conmissioner Stewart inquired about contracting with some private people who move snow.

DOMICILIARY HOME COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD - ANNUAL REPORT: Chairman Hedrick recognized Mr. Charlie Benbow, Mrs. Martha Webster, and Mrs. Ruby Wasson, members of the Domiciliary Board. Mr. Benbow sooke for the group. He said there were 15,000 elderly oeovle in the rest homes and nursing homes in Iredell County. He said 5% of the onnulation would end uo in the rest or nursing homes. He said the character of a county is determined by the churches, the schools and how we take care of our old folks. He exolained the work of the committee. Mrs. Martha Webster is the chairman this year. He said Mary Patterson has resianed from the committee. He said thev go in unannounced as a groun, let. the manager know they are there, and then start “snooping and orying." The aroun insoects the bathrooms, sits on the beds and talks to the vatients. The Domiciliary Home Advisory Board is the advocate of the patients in the nursing homes and rest homes, as described by the Federal legislation that was enacted in the early 1970's. Mr. Benbow said one of the main oroblems is staff at the homes. The aides receive minimum waaes and it is hard to keeo staff in the homes. Mr. Benbow also discussed the Mitchell Community College orogram to provide recreation and activities for the homes. The program has been discontinued by Mitchell College, and the reason for it is not known, He asked the board's assistance in getting the program restarted. Commissioner Murdock inquired about the requirements for emoloyment as an aide. Mr. Benbow said there were no reauirements, and there is a lot of turn-over in emoloyment. Commissioner Ostwalt inquired about reauirements from the state. Mr. Benbow said there has to be three neonle for every 54 peoole in a rest home. The nursing homes have more standards, he said. He also said there were people in the rest homes that should be in the nursing homes. Mr. Benbow outlined the work the committee does when they find a non-comoliance. It is referred to Mrs. Boulware, 4 staff member of the Iredell County Deoartment of Social Services.

Mr. Ken Journey, a owner/overator of a rest home in the county snoke regarding the Mitchel] Community College vrogram in the rest homes. Mr. Journev said this has been changed: the senior citizens' program has been reinstated. He said his rest home had a class going on every day of the week. Mr. Journey said they had a meeting about three weeks ago, and they have funds available. Basically, any senior citizen can take any course at Mitchell College free of charge. The problem has been that the residents at the rest home could not get out, conseauently they had the anoroved instructor. Any class that they can get ten enrollees in, with approval from Mitchell, they can have a class. He tries to get senior citizens from the community to enroll. Mr. Benbow asked the county commissioners to look into the Mitchell Community College activi- ties for the rest homes. Mr. Don Wall, director of the social services, was present to address the problems with aging programs. He exoressed appreciation for the rest homes and the domiciliary advisory board. He said the overall conditions were good; however, they do have some marginal homes and some problems they have had with them. Mrs. Boulware visits all these facilities monthly. When deficiencies are found, she points them out to the administrators of the homes. He asked the board's support of the social services agency in the continuation of monitoring these homes. Chairman Hedrick thanked the domiciliary board for the work they do in behalf of the senior citizens at the rest homes and nursing homes in Iredell County. Mr. Journey made some concluding remarks about problems he has exverienced with state requla- tions and other matters.

REGULAR AGENDA VOTING DISTRICTS DISCUSSION: By consensus of the board, Chairman Hedrick adjusted the agenda to hear Mr. Willie Williams and a contingency in attendance. Chairman Hedrick welcomed the group to the meeting and recognized Mr. Willie Williams, spokes- man for the group. Mr. Williams inquired about the status of the voting district study that has been done by the Centralina Council of Governments.

The group who met to consider the findings from this study believed that a nine member board would not be desirable. It was believed that a seven-member board would be a maximum number to consider. Chairman Hedrick said the possibility of having a committee look into the voting district situation was considered, and he volunteered to meet with a committee to consider alternatives and possibilities.

The board, by consensus, agreed to proceed with drawing the lease agreement with a stipulation of adequate parking in the agreement and that maintenance be done by the city.

Present for the meeting were: Larry S. Hedrick, Chairman Alice M. Stewart, Vice Chairman Jessie S. Crosswhite Frances L. Murdock Samuel L. Ostwalt Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager F. William Furches, Jdr., Finance Officer Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board DISCUSSION OF 1987-88 BUDGET: The board discussed some matters pertaining to the budget. Mr. Furches said $11,765,000 is collected in ad valorem taxes at the tax rate of 43 cents. Presently $11,730,000 of this amount has been collected in the current year. The board discussed what salary increase would be given the county employees and the amount of increase in current expense for the three school sytems. The board discussed the status of the Fund Balance. A total of $1.55 is now in the Unappro- priated Fund Balance, excluding the $800,000 that is also in the Fund Balance for the resolution adopted by the board in the 1987-88 fiscal year in conjunction with consolidation. This makes 4 total of $2.35. The recommended fund balance is 8% of the total budget. Mr. Furches said the fund balance has great impact on the bond rating for the county, as well as depending upon the fund balance for cash flow. He presently is depending partially upon the Capital Projects Funds for cash flow handling; but if this fund is spent in the next fiscal year, he will not have that alternative. The three items that need to be decided that will have greatest effect on the budget are: (1) Current tax rate (2) Implementation of comprehensive pay plan (3) Increase in the Schools' Current Expense allocation Water and Sewer Fund also represents a significant amount in the budget. Three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($350,000) was budgeted for this fund in FY 1987-88. The board discussed the possibility of having $500,000 in this fund for the 1988-89 fiscal year. Questions were raised about the User Fee Study completed last year and the possibility of implementing fee charges at the landfill. Mr. Mashburn said his budget schedule called for having the budget to the board by May 17, 1988, and after that the board would be ready to have work shops. The board members decided to delay setting up budget meetings until more information was given from the manager. fu * - er j CA kL eg!

DISCUSSION OF DISTRICT VOTING SYSTEM: Members of the Iredel] Political Action Coalition and the Statesville Branch of the NAACP were present to continue a previous discussion of a proposed district voting system. Mr. Willie Beatty, president of IPAC, began the discussion. He addressed the letter dated April 8, 1988, addressed to the Iredell County Board of Commissioners, wherein a request was made that the Board of Commissioners “at least approve the concept of district representation at your next meeting." The board members discussed their concerns about district representation, about approving the concept of district representation, and about making a decision prior to seeing the information that the Centralina Council of Governments was to have available on April 28th. Mr. Beatty asked if a statement could be made stating that the at large election process is “unfair, discriminatory, and perhaps unconstitutional." The county commissioners believed it would be in the best interest of the county to wait until they received the information from COG, and at that time, a decision could be made. During the course of the presentation to the board, Mr. Skip McCall, Mr. J. C. Harris, and Mr. Walter Marsh spoke regarding their concerns of district voting. Chairman Hedrick thanked the group for attending the meeting and stated that the board of commissioners would proceed to the April 28th meeting at 5:30 p.m., County Annex Conference Room. il 953 ADJOURN: MOTION from Chairman Hedri j ck to adjourn the meetin oe j April 20, 1988, 10:00 a.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 ot 2 slilelitie = oe Lit Zbl Clerk to the Board approveo: 5/3 /7F IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES APRIL 20, 1988 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Adjourned Regular Session on Wednesday, April 20, 1988, 9:00 a.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2, Statesville, NC.
