Some of the lots have mobile homes located on them and the lots are being rented. This came to the attention of the County. The former owner, Microtek Mnemonic, represented by Pressley Brawley, requested permission to redeem the property, which the GS allows at the board’s discretion for the amount of taxes that were owned plus any taxes that might be due if the property had remained on the tax books. The calculations show that $1936.93 was due at foreclosure, and taxes have been running $251.79 for each year JUL” 5 1994 Vu J 1994 since that time, and a cost to the County of $500.00 in administrative fees. Mr. Pope recommended that the property be reconveyed to Microtek Mnemonic if they paid all the sums for recovering the taxes and the sum of $500.00 for staff time involved in pursuing this matter. This would also be upon the condition that they get the charter reinstated so they would be eligible to own the property, because Mr. Pope did not feel the County could legally convey the property to anyone other than the prior owner at a price less than the fair market value. This would also be on the condition that the property owner clean up the abandon vehicles presently located on the property. Mr. Pope said the owner has indicated by phone that they would accept the offer. The board and attorney discussed the amount of taxes presently due on the property. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this until the next meeting and have the figures verified. AMENDMENT from Commissioner Stewart to have written acceptance from the owner instead of telephone agreement regarding his intentions to comply with the county attorney’s request. VOTING ON MOTION AND AMENDMENT: Ayes ~ 5; Nays - 0. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF TRANSFER DOCUMENTS FOR IREDELL HOME HEALTH SERVICE: Since the June 7th meeting when the board agreed to transfer the home health agency, Mr. Pope has been preparing documents which will be acceptable to the transferee and to the County. Mr. Pope and the transferee’s attorney have gone through seven or eight drafts of the documents, Pope said. There are two documents--one an agreement of transfer and the other one is a lease agreement. The agreement is a document that transfers the management of the home health agency to Iredell Memorial Hospital, Inc., and recites that in addition, the board of commissioners would propose to lease to the hospital the space the agency currently uses and some personal property, and will sell to them some consumable supplies. The agency occupies space of about 4661 s.f. (attached to lease agreement as an exhibit). The rent is $12.15 per s.f. The equipment has been on the books for a long time and has been depreciated down, is being rented for an annual rent of $5766. The lease is fairly straightforward with a two-year term that provides for automatic renewal to up to four successive terms of two years each, unless either party gives 180 days’ notice. Mr. Pope presented a resolution at this time for the board to consider adopting. It was for the board to give notice in the newspaper of the County’s intention to lease the space to Iredell Memorial Hospital. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the resolution as presented by Mr. Pope which encompasses the details of the lease and also to have the resolution published in the newspaper. Commissioner Madison inquired if the board can legally adopt such a resolution that has such ramifications with the pending legal matter on this transfer. Mr. Pope said it was his feeling the board could do so as long as the final documents are not executed, which is what the board was restrained from doing.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. JU 88 ae HEALTH DEPARTMENT - REQUEST FOR PERSONNEL RECLASSIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT IN PERCENTAGE OF TIME WORKED: Mr. Bill Mashburn began the discussion on this saying their request was for adjustment. An employee recently retired who was classified as a Health Assistant. Mr. Mashburn said he feels this position needs to be filled at a higher level to do the more complex work that is required. The recommendation is for a Medical Office Assistant (MOA), Grade 57, rather than the previous Grade 54 for the Health Assistant. Mr. Mashburn said they have a LPN, a long-term employee, requesting that her time be reduced from 100% to 80%. They would like to honor this request and keep the LPN. They also have a Community Health Assistant (CHA) upgraded to Medical Office Assistant with a 100% time rather than the 80% time they are now using. This is based upon the recent disease trends and the accompanying tasks required. This conversion to full time would represent a $3,324 increase. The summary of Mr. Mashburn’s requests were: i. Reduce the LPN hours from 40/wk. to 32/wk., effective 7/1/94. 2. Upgrade Community Health Assistant (CHA) to Medical Office Assistant (MOA) and convert from .8 to full-time, effective 7/1/94. 3. Offer current MOA candidate a salary of $17,705, effective immediately - $1,255.00. 4. Add TB control escrow to revenues - $3,765.00. Mr. Mashburn said he did not think, in his opinion, that these changes would cost the county commissioners any additional money. Mr. Joel Mashburn inquired about the increase of the position they presently have, which will be classified to a higher grade, and then increasing it from 80% to 100% time. He asked why was it reduced to 80% originally. Mr. Bill Mashburn said it was a budget situation. They needed to make some cuts and this is one of the things they cut at the time. Mr. Mashburn said the MOA can do more clerical duties. The CHA is basically and aide, Bill Mashburn said. He thought while the position was vacant was an opportune time to make the change, he said. Mr. Joel Mashburn inquired about the change in the time of the LPN from 100% to 80%, which is at the LPN’s request. Mr. Joel Mashburn asked, "Does this mean that you don’t need someone there but 80% of the time or is someone else going to be doing the job?" Mr. Bill Mashburn said the MOA will be increased. Mr. Bill Mashburn said you have to include the whole staffing. Mrs. Janet Blaufuss, Nursing Director, said the Medical Office Assistant will perform those tasks which is at a lower cost than the LPN. Mr. Joel Mashburn inquired if they haven’t been able to #121 the vacancy since last March, why did they think they could get two people for the same position? Mrs. Blaufuss said they have had difficulty since last October, and they have tried to take a proactive position and get the community college training contracts so the people would be specifically trained in their area. It is a marketing/recruitment type thing, she thinks. Commissioner Boone said the reclassification of positions is something that happens fairly frequently at the health department and maybe this should be looked into and minimize the changes. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to reclassify this positions as requested by the Board of Health. VOTING: Ayes ~- 5; Nays - 0.

MICROTEK MNEUMONIC - CONTINUATION OF DISCUSSION: Mr. Pope said he met with the officials of the corporation. The actual sum owed to the County that would place the County in the same position had the property been on the tax scrolls for all this period of time and the taxes paid, was $3,429.39. The recommendation made at the last meeting was a $500 additional charge for reimbursement of staff time in working out this arrangement. Mr. Pope said he conveyed this amount to the corporate members and made the following recommendations to the owners: 1. $3,429.398 in taxes plus the $500.00 for staff time for a total of $3,929.39. 2. Satisfactory assurance that the corporate charter has been reinstated. 3. The junk on the property had been cleaned up. Based upon these three things being carried out, the County would reconvey this property to the taxpayer. He received assurance that this would be forthcoming. Mr. Pope said he spoke to an attorney in Raleigh who is working on having the corporate charter reinstated. Mr. Pope said he believed this is being done, and it would be his recommendation to prepare a Quit Claim Deed from the County rather than a Warranty Deed. The County’s custom in the past is to convey property such as this by Quit Claim Deed, which means the County just conveys whatever title it does have to the property. He further recommended that the Board authorize the Chairman and the Clerk to execute this Quit Claim Deed upon being satisfied that the three conditions enumerated earlier have been met. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to convey the property back to the taxpayer and authorize the county manager to convey this que 19 U 99 JUL 19 1994 property once the three conditions, (1) Payment of $3,929.39, (2) Corporate charter in place, and (3) Junk on property has been removed, have been met. This is to be done by a Quit Claim Deed. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. OFFER OF PROPERTY FROM IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOL SYSTEM: According to the General Statutes, whenever a school system has real estate it wishes to dispose of, the school system must give the County government right of first refusal. A letter was received from Dr. Jesse Register, Superintendent of Iredell County Schools, offering a tract of land on Rickert Street. The land was acquired in 1968 and is partially inside the city and partially outside the city. It consists of about 15 acres and is valued at $107,490. The board looked at the property in discussion on the tax map and after a short discussion, MOTION was made by Commissioner Madison to respectfully decline the offer from the Iredell- Statesville School System for the property being offered. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CONSIDERATION OF HOME HEALTH TRANSFER DOCUMENTS : Mer. Billi Pope said this matter was on the July 5th regular meeting and was tabled for consideration at this meeting. Mr. Pope said he has not prepared the documents. Since the original documents were prepared, some changes need to be made, and they have not been made at this time. The changes involve dates. The original date of transfer was to have been October 1, 1994. The staff people and the Iredell Memorial Hospital staff now believe that in order to comply with all regulations, that it will not be possible to meet the date. The transfer needs to occur at a quarter for the benefit of the Medicaid calculations, it has been suggested that the effective date be changed from October 1, 1994 to January 1, 1995. A couple of other dates in the documents will also be affected by the change of the transfer date. For example, the hospital had agreed that it would continue to collect the old accounts for the County until March 31, 1995. That date would be pushed back three months. All of the dates recited in the document would be pushed back exactly three months, Mr. Pope said. Other than the date changes, no changes have occurred in the documents of which the county commissioners have received copies prior to the last meeting, Pope said. He said the documents, he believed, are in order, and are consistent with the board’s desires, and he does not know any reason why the board cannot act upon then. Chairman Haire said it was her understanding that the transfer could not be implemented, to which Mr. Pope agreed. The documents, however, can be approved, Mr. Pope said. He distributed a resolution that recognizes there is a restraining order in effect, but approving the documents, subject to being used at such time, if ever, the restraining order is dissolved. He thinks this will make the legal issues clearer to the Court, so the Court could see this is the transaction that is contemplated. Mr. Pope thinks it will allow the Court to proceed to resolve the matter and make some determination more efficiently and expeditiously, by having the documents for the Court to review. Chairman Haire inquired about a motion to authorize the publication of a notice to the public, summarizing the contents of the legal documents. Mr. Pope said part of the transaction is the transfer of the operations of the home health agency and the other part is to lease the space that would be vacated by home health at the Health Department, to Iredell Memorial Hospital. If the county commissioners want to lease that space, a very fair lease arrangement has been negotiated, Mr. Pope said. A condition of leasing County property is publishing a notice summarizing the contents of the proposed lease and stating that the board intends to consider acting on that lease at the next meeting (August 2, 600 1994). Mr. Pope said he thought the board should authorize the clerk to the board to publish such a notice. Mr. Jeff Corbett, representing Davis Community Hospital, asked to speak regarding this transaction. He said he did not have a prepared statement because he thought the matter would be tabled. He said Davis Community Hospital feels the injunction is in place, the matter is frozen in time for that until it is heard. He said he strongly felt that any action constitutes a further breach of the law and is a direct “slap in the face" of the due process as set forth by the judicial system. He thought any discussion or action about the home health transfer is blatantly in conflict with the restraining order issued by the Court. He asked the board to consider striking all discussion at this point and leaving the matter in the hands of the judicial system at the date set for the Injunction Hearing. Chairman Haire said the board would rely on the advice of the County Attorney, Mr. Bill Pope. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this issue until such time as the restraining order is lifted or removed or put into a permanent injunction, whichever the case may be, and then the board take it up and deal with it at that time. He said he did not see any urgency to deal with it at this particular time. It has just been delayed from October 1994 until January 1, 1995, any implementation of it. There is no crisis at hand, and he concurs with what Mr. Corbett says. "I don’t want the additional liability of the judges ‘fussing’ at me," Madison said. Mr. Madison further said he respects Mr. Pope’s position, but there is a valid conflict and a procedure is set up to resolve that conflict and is in place now. Commissioner Hamby said her understanding of what Mr. Pope said is if the documents are approved, when Mr. Pope goes to Court, he can show what the county commissioners are trying to do. At this point in time, Mr. Pope does not have any proof of what the board is trying to do. Mr. Pope said only circumstantial. He thinks this additional action focuses the issues and allows the Court to make a determination. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for August ist, which is a Criminal section of Court and this may not be heard at that time. Commissioner Boone said he thought it would be prudent for the board to follow the advice of the board’s legal counsel. VOTING ON MOTION TO TABLE: Ayes ~ 1 (Madison); Noes - 4. MOTION from Commissioner Boone, On the advice of our legal counsel that the Board approve the forms of the legal documents and adopt the resolution, which reads as follows: WHEREAS, we have heretofore approved a transaction with Iredell Memorial Hospital involving the Iredell County Home Health Agency subject to our approval of the final documents; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Iredell Memorial Hospital determined that the attached drafts of final documents contain its Agreement with Iredell County with regard to Iredell County Home Health Agency and approved same on June 7, 1994; and WHEREAS, the attached drafts of final documents contain our commitment with regard to the Iredell Home Health Agency. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The attached drafts are approved for use at such time as the Restraining Order now in effect is dissolved (with the changes in the effective dates), and i . a ae The Chairman and Clerk to the Board are authorized to We 49 4Q9 601 gu. 19 execute same and such other documents as to them shall seem necessary to transfer the rights and responsibilities of operations of Iredel Home Health Agency to Iredell Memorial Hospital at such time as the Restraining Order now in effect has been dissolved. In discussion, Commissioner Madison said he thought the board members were making a mistake, and he would like that so recorded in the minutes. VOTING ON MOTION: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Madison). MOTION from Commissioner Stewart that the Board authorize the Clerk the Board to publish a notice in the Statesville Record & , summarizing the contents of the proposed lease and stating the intention of the board to adopt the lease at the next regular meeting of the board. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Madison). APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994, JUNE 7, 1994, AND JULY 5, 1994: MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the captioned minutes. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. OLD BUSINESS DECISION OF THE BOARD TO HAVE A REFERENDUM IN NOVEMBER 1994 FOR GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR RENOVATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE JAIL: Mr. Mashburn said this had been discussed by the board at their last retreat; however, it did not seem likely that there would be enough time to do this because of the County’s recent involvement with Catawba County and Sedgwick James for the regional analysis through a feasibility study for a regional jail. Since the results of this study will not be known until late September or early October, it seems there would not be enough time to conduct a referendum in November as a referendum would require a lot of planning. Staff is recommending the board to reconsider having a referendum in November 1994 for the Jail Renovations. MOTION from Commissioner Madison that the board not have a referendum in November as previously planned. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MEETING OF THE JAIL TASK FORCE DISCUSSED: Commissioner Boone said at the meeting of the task force, it was the consensus of the people there, that there would not be enough time. NEW BUSINESS GRANT APPLICATION: Mr. Mashburn said at the Jail Task Force Meeting regarding legislation that is going into effect concerning structured sentencing. The impact that this would have on local governments was discussed, although there is no way of projecting with certainty what that impact will be. Everyone involved feels there will be an impact by increasing the numbers of offenders that will be kept in a local facility, although others who are sentenced will go through some other type of sentencing. At the present time, in Iredell County only those sentenced for 30 days or less or being kept in Iredell County jails; the others are going on to a State facility. Under the new Structured Sentencing, if they are not released to one of the other programs, the county will have to keep them for longer periods of time, which will negatively impact the local jail. In addition to the Structured Sentencing Act, another bill was ar *dgzA0dddW pazeog 9u3 03 AASTO moos ” Pe fo t Gr- : Gs “ON ‘OTTTASEeQe3S ‘}ee74S ASQUeD YQNOS 002 ‘teQUeD QUSeMUAeAOD AQUNOD TTepeazl ‘wooy HutjZeeW ,srsuoTssTMUOD Aaunop ‘urd 00:9 ‘p6e6et ‘2 ASnbnyv :butTZeceu 4xXeN ‘wed SSiZ4 :0uTL ‘uaznof{pe 03 UOSTpeW AeUOCTSSTUMOD WOT NOILON ‘nNunoray *o - sken ‘!g - soky <ONILOA *uoTsses zeTnbe2 02 uANnjer OF UCSTPeW ASUOCTSSTMUIOD WOIF NOILON °o - sken !g - sokw ‘ONILOA *UOTARTSTNboe puel SSNOSTp 03 UOTSSeS SATANOEXe ORUT 293uUe Of UOSTPeW ASUOCTSSTWUMOD WOTZ NOILON ‘*NOISSAS AATLOOUXA *owT 2 STYyQ 3e werzbozd sty3 Bbutnsand ut peyserze jut Qou sem pzeoq eyy 3nq ‘Atzyetaq weszborid ey pessnostp uazanqusen ‘IN “xyAeUpUeT ¥ PAOCDeY STTTAseVZeqIs eYyR YHnozyR peptTaorzd buteq ST 2eyU3 werboid sTYyj pesSsNosTp uANqUSeW ‘IN *MON NOILVWUOANI °0 - sken !g - sokw ‘:ONILOA *uoTqzeotTtTdde 3uer16 ey3 ezedeid oj zebeuey AQunod ey3 eztzoygne o3 Aquey JeUuoCTSSTMMOD WOIZ NOILOW *paemizoj Of OF AUSMATUUIOD e oq PTNOA ereYyR YUTYR OU PTP ey ‘at go Aue yQTA pzemiz0j Of 03 WOU SepToep useyQ pue ueTd TeTITUT eY4R Op 03 spuNnjz eu sesn pre0ogd eu JI *Aouom TeuCTATppe eb 03 pequeM Xeu3 ssetun uetd ey3 03 punog eq ptnom Aqunod ey 3eUR peyqnop ey PTes uaznquseN “AW ‘“UeTd TeTATUT eYyA AOJ spunz 9YyQ 2A0ZJ peTTdde AsyQ 3T eq AQunos ey pTNom punog soy peatnbut 32eMe4S ASUOTSSTUUMOD *HbuTQeeu 4st ysnhny euQ je pze0g eyu3 03 yORq AT Butaq pue uotjeotTtTdde juez6 ey ezedezad pue peoye 06 ptInoam jjyeqs ‘uotsstuzed s,pizeogq ey YTA PpTes urzAnqyseW °4IW *ueTd SUOTROeIIOD peseg-AQtTunuMOD e HhutdolTeaep ut pesn eq O23 Sspunjs QUeIb soUeASTSSe TeOTUYOSR AOJ spunjs esey3 z0z Atdde Ajunod TTepeazal yeu pepuswmmosez so10jJ YseQR SUL ‘uetd ey Bbutop ut queqrtnsuoo e butaty ‘Aouow quezb 2z0z uotTWeoTTdde exyeu pue uetd Aqunod e BHutAQtTazam ut djTey [ITA YOTYAM ‘TeoOT wWorz 000‘Z$ pue e3e3Sg ey WOAZ 000‘9$ ‘seoUeQSTSSe TeoTUYoeR azoz Asuom OSTe ST STSEYUL “UCTTTTW ZT$ STYUR peqeTidordde sey ezeIS SYR 3eUR Hutop ut 3stsse 03 pue ey Op OF SjUSeMUITeACH [edOT SsOTQUe O23 Aepiz0 UI *SOETITTTOeZ eAe3S O23 Wey BbuTpUeSs Jo peeyjsUT SMOY Ze Siepuezjo eu deey o3 shem yATA dn ouwoo of sAeYy 02 HutTobh ere setTQuNoD @U3 ‘SPIOM ASeYRO UI “SETITTTOeZ eRe9S 03 WeYyR HbuTpues O73 pesoddo se Slepuezjo ey3 1203 Hutoueques AAtunuuoo eptaojad oj sAem Querezsztp yu3tTA dn suwod o2 st weszboid ey3Z jo eept eUuL *uOTTITM™ €$ SUR ueyi TeYyRO STQeTTeAe SYM SSTS ReYM MOUY JOU PTP sy PTes uANqyseN ‘IW ‘“aeek TeosTs 96-G66T Hutanp eTqeTTeae eq TTTM 3eYUR UOTTTTu ZT$ TeUCTATpPpe ue oq TTTA ez7eyR 3eYUQ UOTRZeOTpPUT SUA UZTA Set QuNoS O03 peRzeooOTTe eq Of UOCTITTw ¢$ eptse yes ATTenQoe ATquessy Ter98UueD @yu2 YOTYUM ‘AoW dtTyszeuqted SOTASNE TeUTWTIAD SY PEeTTeO peonporzquT JUL 19 99% ae 603 aye 2 19 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES AUGUST 2, 1994 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Session on Tuesday evening, August 2, 1994, 6:00 p.m., County Commissioners’ Meeting Room, Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street, Statesville, NC.

TIM MEAD, CHAIRMAN OF THE CATAWBA RIVER CORRIDOR STUDY: Dr. Mead said the study committee has met for about a year every other week. There are about 30 members, with 12 to 15 coming regularly to the meetings. They have discussed as widely as they could the issues that affect the Catawba River and the entire corridor. They have included economic issues as well as environmental issues. They have conducted public meetings in all the counties that are on the Catawba River. Citizens have come to those meetings, Mead said. The group has identified three core issues, which are: 1. Water quality. 2. Land Use & Resource Development. 3. Cooperative Community Planning Mechanisn. Dr. Mead said the next step is to appoint members to the task forces for each of the core issues stated. Chairman Haire inquired if they have nominations for the board to consider this evening or would they be sent in later. Dr. Mead replied they would send categorical suggestions and the board would then come up with names from each of the categories for all three committees at a later time. They want to include people with as many different interests as possible on the committees, and the list will be sent in the near future, he said. Chairman Haire thanked Dr. Meade for coming to make his presentation. 604 ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND USE PLAN FOR AIRPORT VICINITY AND TO COMPLETE WITH COMPATIBLE ZONING CONTROLS: Mr. Jerry Lundy said there is a concern about the height of the buildings around the airport and in the landing approach patterns, and because of this concern a resolution has been prepared containing a recommendation to direct the Statesville and Iredell County Planning staffs to begin work on a type of mini- development plan for the land in and around the airport that would allow height restrictions which would not encroach into the air space and would create a standardized requirement for the vicinity around the airport. Commissioner Madison said the City of Statesville has zoning jurisdiction for the airport property itself because of their satellite annexation, and the county is responsible for everything around it. He said he concurred this would be a step in the right direction. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the following resolution: RESOLUTION BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF IREDELL COUNTY SUPPORTING JOINT EFFORTS OF THE IREDELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF STATESVILLE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND USE PLAN FOR AIRPORT VICINITY AND TO COMPLEMENT WITH COMPATIBLE ZONING CONTROLS.

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. CONSIDERATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT FOR SPACE AT THE IREDELL HEALTH DEPARTMENT WITH IREDELL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL: Mr. Bill Pope discussed the lease agreement which was attached to the memo sent to the board members in their agenda packets. He clarified the square footage to 4661 s.f. The effective date has been changed from October 1, 1994 to January 1, 1995, which was pointed out at the last meeting. The lease is for an initial term of two years at $12.15/sf and is renewable for up to four terms of two years each unless one or the other parties elects not to renew the release and AUG 2 1994 605 AUG~ 2 1994 gives notice to the other part of at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease tern. In addition to the real estate, there is equipment that will be leased as well which is $5766 annually. This price was calculated upon the fair market value determined by Susan Blumenstein and capitalized that value to determine the rental price. This lease will not be used unless or until such time as the restraining order now in effect is resolved, Mr. Pope said. Mr. Pope advised that should the board approve this, the motion should state for use at such time as the restraining is not in effect. He does not propose to do anything until the County is permitted to do so, he said. Chairman Haire inquired if it was the attorney’s recommendation that the board go ahead with the agreement with this wording? Mr. Pope replied that it was. Commissioner Madison inquired about the rental price of $12.15 per sq. ft. He asked how staff derived at this figure. Mr. Pope said that was market rent plus janitorial and security services. ($10.75 rent, .75 janitorial, .65 cubicals - $12.15) Commissioner Madison inquired about the inclusion of utilities in the lease. He questioned if this price is as good a deal as it should be in looking at the first class office space and the utilities being furnished. Mr. Pope said the utilities are included because there are no separate meters. They determined the cost of metering it separately was pretty expensive. Mr. Mashburn said Mrs. Blumenstein had done a market survey and of rent for the area and then added the utilities to the price. Commissioner Madison inquired what the County was paying for the rental space on Walnut Street. However, it was not known by anyone at the meeting. Commissioner Madison said he was in opposition to the lease anyway. Commissioner Boone inquired how they arrived at the price for the utilities. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this until the restraining order has been released and consider it at that time. VOTING: Ayes - 1 (Madison) Noes - 3 (Haire, Boone, Hamby) MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the lease subject to it being executed at such time as the restraining order is dissolved. VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Haire, Boone, Hamby) Noes - 1 (Madison) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF LETTER OF CREDIT - ENGLISH HILL SUBDIVISION: Mr. Lundy presented this item on the agenda.

He said Nash has a 58 cents tax rate and Iredell has a 45 cent tax rate. They have a household availability fee for the landfill of $75, the highest in North Carolina. He said he saw no reason to consider this matter. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENTS TO NORTH CAROLINA’S OPEN MEETING LAW ENACTED IN 1994: Mr. Mashburn discussed these changes which are effective October 1, 1994. He thinks that the amendments will have significant impact on the way business is discussed, especially business on advisory boards. County Commissioners have been going by the Open Meetings Law for some time; however the definition of a public body is expanded in the new amendments. It is clear that it is not just elected or appointed groups, but other groups that exercise legislative, quasi-judicial, administrative, or advisory functions. Under the new bill, a specific requirement is that minutes of "closed" sessions will be required. It provides that the minutes can be withheld from the public inspection so long as public inspection would frustrate the purpose of a closed session. At some point in time these minutes of the closed session will be opened to the public. There is a reduction from 20 to 7 the number of reasons for permitting a closed session. Mr. Mashburn read the reasons for closed session. Mr. Mashburn said board members would be personally liable if they knowingly misuse the closed session. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to adopt an orientation policy for appointments to boards and commissions, that there be some orientation instruction in this statute before they are seated. (No vote taken.) Chairman Haire directed Alice Fortner to make sure that the new board members fully understand the Open Meetings law before they are seated. CRIMINAL JUSTICE PARTNERSHIP ACT GRANT: Mr. Joel Mashburn said at the last meeting he called the board’s attention to available funds through the Criminal Justice Partnership Act. These funds are designed to address concerns in local government pertaining to the structured sentencing bill that most people feel will put an additional load on local governments. The plan is to 4 AUG 2 1994 607 take care of confinement or a person’s obligations at the local level if possible. The General Assembly appropriated $3 million in the 94-95 budget and plan to appropriate $12 million in future budgets for providing money to local governrents for these programs. Mr. Mashburn named some of the programs inv>?<ea in the Act that would address the problem at a local level rather than sending them to a state prison. In order to be eligible for any of the funds that were allocated, there must be a local community alternatives plan in each community before the local government is eligible to apply for state or federal funds. They have set aside $6,000 for each county that has to be matched with $2,000 in local funds or in-kind, to provide technical assistance to come up with a plan to go through the planning process. The deadline for the application is August 15, 1994. The board instructed Mr. Mashburn at the last meeting to prepare an application, which he has done and is presenting the application for the technical assistance grant at this meeting for the board’s approval. Mr. Mashburn has discussed this with the Sheriff’s Department and it is felt that much of the data that is required could easily be required by the Jail Management person that is assigned at this time, and this person’s salary and time can be considered the local match. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the application as submitted by the county manager for the technical assistance grant as discussed by the County Manager. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF CABLEVISION FRANCHISES: Mr. Mashburn said a part of this should be discussed in executive session; however, there is a need to discuss the number of complaints received regarding cablevision. Because of some legal steps involved in this discussion, he asked that the remainder of the discussion be held until the executive session. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF JULY 19, 1994 MINUTES: MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the minutes 2s corrected. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT VISIT FROM REPRESENTATIVES FROM MAINLAND, CHINA, WHO CAME TO LOOK AT THE SOIL IN THE COUNTY: Mr. Mashburn said he and Chairman Haire were invited to meet with these representatives and visit a couple of farm sites in the county that he had not heretofore seen. The Chinese representatives were most appreciative of the hospitality extended to then. Larry Hendrix, district soil conservationist expert, said the soil here in Iredell County is very similar to that in China, and that they have a real erosion problem. This is the reason they chose to come to the county. They have county government in China with a population of about one million per county, which is an average size county in China. RECESS UNTIL 7:00 p.m. Chairman Haire called a recess until 7:00 p.m., which time the public hearing was advertised. Chairman Haire reconvened the meeting at 7:10 p.m. and adjourned the meeting to public hearing as advertised. PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTIONS 93, 62, < 41 OF THE IREDELL COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE (OPEN AIR MARKETS): Mr. Lundy discussed this amendment with the board. The amendment had previously been 608 reviewed by the planning board and recommended to the county commissioners for approval. Mr. J. T. Alexander, Jr. requested an amendment to the General Business District to allow Open Air Markets as a Special Exception. (Section 93) by adding: Open Air Markets provided the following can be adequately addressed for the protection of surrounding properties; buffering, hours of operation, noise, lighting, parking, sanitary facilities, garbage removal, and other concerns at the discretion of the Iredell County Board of Adjustment. (Section 62 - PARKING) by adding: One (1) space for each 200 square feet of lot area used for display or sales, plus one (1) space per vendor. (Section 41 - DEFINITIONS) by adding: Open Air Market. A market held in an open area or structure where individual sellers offer goods for sale to the public. Chairman Haire inquired if anyone present wished to speak regarding this matter.

Those present for the meeting were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Diane M. Hamby Alice M. Stewart Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager William P. Pope, County Attorney Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Susan G. Blumenstein, Director of Finance and Administrative Matters Jerry Lundy, Director of Planning and Development Kelly Sheeks, Health Department, Environmental Matters CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Haire INVOCATION: Joel Mashburn, County Manager PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ADJUSTMENT OF THE AGENDA: The county manager made some suggestions for adjusting the agenda, and the board members concurred with the changes. REQUEST FOR REVISION TO LOCAL ORDINANCE REGARDING LAND FARMING: Mr. Kelly Sheeks was present to discuss the requested revision to the County’s ordinance regarding Land Farming. The request is to allow transportation of soils generated within Iredell County which are contaminated with petroleum products to another site within Iredell County for landfarming. The landfarming site must be owned by the generator of the waste soils, Mr. Kelly explained. The ordinance does not presently permit soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons to be transported from one location within Iredell County to another location in the county for the purpose of landfarming. The landfarming must occur on the soil upon which the soil containing petroleum hydrocarbons was discovered. (Section 6- 68) A new section 6-68 is proposed as follows: Sec. 6.68. Transportation of soil for landfarming. Landfarming of soils generated outside Iredell County prohibited. Soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons may be transported from one location within Iredell County to another within this county for the purpose of landfarming provided that the individual or corporation generating the contaminated soils owns the property upon which the land farming will occur. Soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons which originate outside the borders of Iredell County may not be transported into Iredell County for the purpose of landfarming. Commissioner Boone inquired how many distributors of petroleum products own land within the county suitable for landfarming. Mr. Sheeks said he did not know the answer to that. Commissioner Boone AUG 1 6 1994 611 ‘Aue 16 1994 said he thought that was a question that should be asked. He thought probably most oil distributors do not own property within the county suitable for landfarming. He thought if this ordinance was passed, then some other distributor who does not have land might question the fairness of the plan. Commissioner Hamby said she thought the ordinance amendment is good because it required the person doing the landfarming to own the property, which she thought was better than landfarming on leased land. Mr. Lundy pointed out that the bulk of the landfarming that has been done in the past has not been oil jobbers. MOTION in form of a resolution from Commissioner Boone to delay the adoption of this amendment at the present time. In discussion of the motion Commissioner Boone said he was not putting this off on the Hazardous Waste Committee to decide, but if they wanted to take a look at it, it might be a good idea. The board members discussed the next meeting date of the Hazardous Waste Committee. VOTING: Ayes 4; Noes - 0. NO WAKE ZONES ON LAKE NORMAN: Mr. Lundy said his office has received a request from Turnpike Properties, Inc., wishing to establish a No Wake zone near their development on Lake Norman, which is known as Windemere (formerly the Heronwood project). In doing research on No Wake zones, Mr. Lundy said it is a fairly complex process to go through to achieve an actual No Wake zone that is enforceable by law. The first thing that has to be done is the county commissioners have to send a request to the N. C. Wildlife Commission in the form of a resolution. There will be cost incurred in establishing this No Wake zone because a public hearing must be held. He asked the board if they wanted to get into the business of requesting the Wildlife Commission to have a No Wake zones. Mr. Lundy feels this will be the first of many requests. Secondly, do you want to pass the cost of advertising and holding the public hearings onto whoever is having them? He asked for the board’s direction in this matter. Chairman Haire said she agreed the board would be setting a precedent. Commissioner Hamby inquired who would enforce the No Wake zones. Mr: Lundy said it would be the Wildlife’s responsibility to enforce the No Wake zones. Commissioner Stewart inquired if they had the manpower to enforce it. Mr. Pope said the Sheriff’s Department’s lake patrol could also enforce wildlife laws. Mr. Lundy discussed who would be in charge of servicing and maintaining the buoys once they are installed. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to have Mr. Lundy and Mr. Pope to do research in this area and bring it back to the board at the mid-September meeting. (September 20, 1994.)

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT 1994 TAX BILLS TO 'BE MAILED ON AUGUST 26, 1994: Mr. Mashburn announced that the 1994 tax bills will be mailed on August 26th. There will be increases in the fire taxes. The City of Statesville had an increase and this will be included on the bill. INFORMATION FROM THE NCACC REGARDING PROPERTY TAX RATES AND SCHOOL FUNDING: Mr. Mashburn presented this to the board for information. MEETING WITH THE REGIONAL JAIL TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn reported on the meeting with this task force where both he and Commissioner Boone were present. They received the first report from Sedgwick James and he presented copies to the board at this time. Mr. Mashburn called the board’s attention to an item in the report that shows Iredell County is booking more people into their jail than Catawba. Future projections are the same, he said. The average length of stay in Catawba County Jail is 7.1 days and for Iredell County it is about 4 days. Commissioner Boone said the significant facts that have been established is that to meet the needs by the year 2015 will take a facility of 150 to 200 beds for both counties. These would be minimum security beds. There are plenty maximum security cells in the existing facilities. These are new beds. WORK SESSION PLANNED FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Chairman Haire discussed a possible work session for the county commissioners, sometime in September to discuss the overlay district that was put on hold sometime ago. Chairman Haire said she had agreed, if it is the pleasure of the board, to serve on a task force for the Catawba River Study, and she thought maybe they should wait until the four counties agree on standard rules and regulations before the county gets into the overlay district. She asked the board for comments on this matter, whether the other board members thought the board should proceed with the overlay or wait until the Catawba River Study is completed. Mr. Mashburn said the Iredell Statesville School Board has selected an architect for the new South Elementary School building, and he thought it might be a good idea at the next quarterly meeting with the school board to take a look at the schematic design of that facility. The county commissioners have expressed some concern in the past with the design of certain facilities, and he thought it would be good for the school board to keep the county commissioners abreast of their plans. AUG 1 6 1994 619 ‘AUG 1 6 1994 Chairman Haire inquired what the board members’ feelings were about a one-day retreat and mentioned the meeting place at Hiddenite. The date of Saturday, October 1, 1994, from 8:00 a.m., until 2:00 p.m. was established by a consensus of the board members. The place of the meeting is planned for the Hidden Crystal Inn, Hiddenite, provided the place is available. The Iredell- Statesville School Board would be invited. Mr. Mashburn called the board’s attention to the Public Works magazine for October 1994, with an article on Iredell County’s baler machine.

Chairman Haire presented this special resolution and photographers were present from Statesville Record & Landmark and to make pictures for their newspapers. VOTING ON MOTION: Ayes - 5; Nays - O. AGAINST THE ADOPTION OF THE FEDERAL CRIME BILL: Chairman Haire asked Commissioner Boone to read this special resolution. After reading the resolution and discussing it briefly, Commissioner Boone made a motion to adopt the resolution. In the discussion, Commissioner Hamby asked for some of the wording to be changed to "clean up" the language, she stated. It was the consensus of the other board members to leave the resolution as it is presently written. The following is the resolution adopted on a motion from Commissioner Boone: WHEREAS, NACo officials supported the recently passed federal "anti-crime" bill, and specifically, NACo First Vice President Doug Bovin, at a press conference, said: "County officials are in favor of this anti-crime bill .. ."; and WHEREAS, this so-called anti-crime bill calls for spending over $30 billion dollars at a time when the federal government is already running an enormous deficit; and WHEREAS, much of this money will be spent for midnight basketball, arts and crafts, dancing, "counseling" and "recreation i SEP” 6 1994 621 SEP” ¢ 1994 programs" for those who have committed violent crimes, a $625 million discretionary (slush) fund for the attorney general, and education and job training for "troubled youth," despite the fact that seven federal departments already sponsor 266 such programs for "troubled youth"; and WHEREAS, the money budgeted for hiring additional law- enforcement officers is only a fraction of the amount needed to hire the number of officers the bill’s supporters claim; and WHEREAS, the bill infringes the Second Amendment rights of peaceful, lay-abiding citizens; and WHEREAS, if federal funds are to be spent for the purpose, it would be pr:.ferable to give the money in block grants to state and local governments, since local citizens and officials know the needs of their communities better than do the bureaucrats in Washington; be it therefore RESOLVED, that we, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners, do respectfully disagree with the NACo’s support of the so-called crime bill, and wish to make it known that those who favor the bill do not speak for all county officials.

CITIZENS’ APPOINTMENTS RITA TRONTELL, 205 BROADBILL DRIVE, MOORESVILLE, CONCERNING ACCESS LOT AT WOODLAND HILLS, OFF CANVASBACK ROAD, PLAT 17, P. 75, LOT 99A: Mr. Trontell said he was representing this issue before the board. Mrs. Trontell was making the appointment for him. This matter is involving an access lot to which the property owners in the area do not have access. It seems the access lot has been purchased by a Mr. Bryan who has denied access of the lot to the property owners who supposedly have a right to use it. Mr. Trontell and some of the other residents of the area have previously retained an attorney in regard to the access lot, but nothing was solved. Mr. Randy Clark was with Mr. Trontell, and he asked that the board clarify the intent of the County’s ordinance regarding access lots. Mr. Bill Pope said he had reviewed the matter and made some suggestions (1) That it be made a misdemeanor for anybody to obstruct an access lot, and (2) Create some kind of legislative scheme whereby the property owners, empowered as the property owners’ association, could adopt regulations concerning the use of access lots, and then somehow make the regulations enforceable. Mr. Pope said he would first of all like to discuss this with the Institute of Government before proceeding with a recommendation. Chairman Haire told Mr. Trontell and the other two men with him that someone would get in touch with them just as soon as verification is received from the Institute of Government.

MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the resolution as presented and forward it to Cabarrus County for their board of commissioners approval. The following is the resolution that was approved: WHEREAS, a common boundary line separates Iredell and Cabarrus Counties; and WHEREAS, over the years since the counties were created, the exact location of said common boundary has been lost; and WHEREAS, the location of the common boundary is important for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, (a) determination of which county has taxing authority; (b) determination of where the residents vote; (c) determination of 4 624 which schools children attend, and (d) determination of which zoning, health, and other ordinances are applicable; and WHEREAS, the NC Geodetic Survey Section, Land Resources Division, NC Department of Natural Resources and Community Development will install permanent monuments at all corners in the common line established by agreement of the counties, will survey the common line locating the monuments along same at approximately 3,000 foot intervals, and will prepare a map for both counties showing the newly established boundary lines; and WHEREAS, representatives of Iredell and Cabarrus County have met, visited the area of the common boundary, and have agreed upon the location upon the ground of all corners in the common boundary line, and now wish to engage the services of the NC Geodetic Survey Section to permanently survey the common line, mark the corners and prepare a map. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT JOINTLY RESOLVED BY THE BOARDS OF COMMISSIONERS OF CABARRUS AND IREDELL COUNTIES: 1. The following corner is established by consent: a point in the center of Coddle cCreek, said point being located approximately 800 feet north of Archer Road on the land of C. L. Mesimer. A more accurate description is approximately Latitude 35 degrees 30 minutes 20.93292 seconds North and Longitude 80 degrees 44 minutes 14.58431 seconds East based on the North American Datum of 1983. (The precise location of this point in the center of the creek and the eccentric monument to be located on the bank of the creek will be determined by the North Carolina Geodetic Survey. This will be done by intersecting Coddle Creek with a line between the corner of Iredell, Mecklenburg, and Cabarrus Counties located in the Rock River witnessed by a stone monument found, inscribed on the north with an "I", the west side with a "M", the east side with a "Cc" and the Stanly, Cabarrus, and Rowan corner witnessed by a railroad iron found imbedded in the ground.) 2. The NC Geodetic Survey Section, Land Resources Division, NC Department of Natural Resources and Community Development be, and it hereby is, requested to: a) Install permanent monuments at all corners in the common line between Iredell County and Cabarrus County. b) Survey the common line and locate monuments along the same at approximately 3,000 foot intervals; c) Prepare a map of the common line between Iredell County and Cabarrus County suitable for recording in the office of Register of Deeds for both counties. d) Upon completion of the survey and presentation to both counties of a map, the map will be reviewed by the Board of Commissioners of each county and their respective staffs and, if found to be in order, the boundary line thus established will be adopted as the official common boundary between Iredell County and Cabarrus County, and the map of said survey will be recorded as an official map of said common boundary line.

Commissioner Madison asked if anyone had a recommendation of someone who would like to sit on that board to please let him know by September 23rd. He has a form that must be returned. There are two seats or two recommendations from each county of the Partnership, which appears to be very competitive, he said. COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT INDUSTRIAL PLANT AT HARMONY TO BE FUNDED: Mr. Mashburn announced Governor Hunt had sent a letter to Mr. Yogi Yarborough of Yarborough & Company, who is planning to open a industrial plant in Harmony. The Governor was committing $10,000 from the Governor’s Industrial Competitive Fund for this facility. The County will be spending $5,000 as committed by the County Commissioners for the Town of Harmony. The Town of Harmony also agreed to put in $5,000. Upon actual receipt of the State’s check for $10,000 in the County’s Finance Office, the County’s $5,000 will be released as well. The Town of Harmony has already released its $5,000, Mr. Mashburn said. PLANNING FOR THE MOORESVILLE TRANSFER STATION: Mr. Mashburn said he would like to ask as many of the commissioners as possible to take an opportunity to visit some other transfer stations in the area to get an idea on what will be spent by the county for such a project. The best way is to go and look at some in operation already. One is in Davie County and the other is in Richmond County. This would be a pretty easy trip to make. The group planned to go on September 14, 1994, leaving at 9:00 a.m. in the morning.

The Judge has heard it and ruled that this particular department is a hospital facility and Madison understands the other counties wanting to turn this judgment around, “but quite honestly, they are not the ones footing the bill," he said. "It would be much better for us, as trustees of the public funds, to put this agency up for sale at a public bid process and allow the county taxpayers to receive the benefit of this asset," he said. He asked that the record reflect these remarks. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Madison) ADJOURN: MOTION from Commissioner Hamby to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. Next meeting is scheduled for September 20, 1994, 3:30 p.m., South Wing Conference Room, to meet with the Tredell-Statesville School Study Committee.

Mr. Schreiner said Crescent would like to reinvest back into the County a park site to be used by the County as it sees fit. The site is located on Bluefield Road. Chairman Haire thanked Mr. Shreiner for the gift of the park site. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to accept the gift. Chairman Haire said at a time when the recreational facilities are overcrowded to the extent that the boys and girls are being denied the opportunity to participate in the sports, the County is delighted that Crescent Resources has stepped forward to help solve the growing problem. She thanked Crescent for being the corporate citizen they are and assured Mr. Shreiner that children and adults will benefit for many years to come from this gift. Commissioner Stewart inquired about the number of acres; Mr. Schreiner replied around 30. Commissioner Madison said he would like to ditto what Chairman Haire has just said and appreciates Crescent’s involvement within the County. There is a need for recreational facilities, and this will give an opportunity to make a giant step forward in fulfilling the need in the County. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS - PROPERTY ACQUISITION: Dr. Register addressed the board regarding the site selection for the South Iredell Elementary School. Dr. Register distributed maps showing the four locations being considered. Dr. Register said they had met all the requirements that are mandatory for them to follow, including evaluation by State Public Instructions. Department of Transportation has looked at the site and given an opinion of the traffic for the area. They have discussed with Mooresville and have a verbal agreement for water and sewer for the school. The project will be taken before the Town board for approval. Access to water and sewer was very important in the selection of the site, Register said. Dr. Register recommended the purchase of Site B, which is located in an area where property is at a premium. The cost is $228,800; grading - $120,000; utilities - $265,000, for a total of $613,800.00. Commissioner Boone inquired if the school system was satisfied, from a traffic standpoint, that this is the best location, since it is off Brawley School Road, which is a very busy corridor. Dr. Register said they were quite concerned about traffic in the entire area. They feel that the location of a school below Brawley School will actually ease some of the traffic congestion right around Brawley School and the intersection at Williamson Road. A great percentage of the students who will be housed in this elementary school actually live down the Brawley School peninsula. This school will serve the northern portion of what is now the Mt. Mourne district and the western portion of the Shepherd district. Actually they think it will probably improve the traffic flow in that area, Dr. Register said. They have worked with the Department of Transportation, and the DOT has indicated a willingness to help them with turn lanes and a caution light, if they need it, at that intersection. Traffic is a problem in the 2 SEP 2 0 199% 629 SEP 20 1994 whole area, Dr. Register said, and they are prepared to deal with it. Commissioner Boone inquired about the watershed area, of which this site is a part. Only a certain percentage of the area can be built upon or covered with an impervious surface. I understand that there is sufficient space for the school planned for now, but will there be room for future expansion because of the watershed regulations? Commissioner Boone asked. Dr. Register said with 20 acres, there should be ample room to build as large an elementary school as they want to build. They see this school growing to the 800 - 850 size in the near future, but they are planning the building, working with the architects, for expansion. They are comfortably under the requirements, Dr. Register said. Commissioner Madison remarked that the difference between Site B and Site C is about $10,000, and Site C has access to the Brawley School Road, which is between Williamson and the interstate, where you would have much more readily available traffic flow in and out. It appeared to Madison that it would be a much better solution to the traffic problem. Dr. Register said they did not have an offer to sell on that particular piece of property. They were anticipating the price per acre in the $30,000 price range, but the owner is not willing to sell at this time. Chairman Haire inquired about the price per acre on the Oak Tree Road location. Dr. Register said the total cost is just under $11,500 per acre. The owner has been approached. Dr. Register said the site chosen seems to be the best and most efficient overall of all the sites. MOTION from Commissioner Hamby to approve the property acquisition requested by the Iredell-Statesville Schools for Site B for an elementary school in south Iredell County.

There were three programs submitted; however, one has been withdrawn (Exchange Club’s Child Abuse Prevention). The two being submitted are: Specialized Foster Care, Iredell County Manager’s Office $21,600.00; and Skills for Living, submitted by Image, Inc., DBA Communicare - $24,440.00.

MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the Budget Amendment #5 for Mt. Mourne Volunteer Fire Department, to move $69,000 from their Fund Balance for expenditure for the brush truck and the acquisition of the land. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MR. LARRY SHAKIR, UNITED PARK DRIVE ASSOCIATION: Chairman Haire recognized Larry Shakir of the United Park Drive Association to come to speak regarding a problem in their community. Mr. Shakir said they had been working since 1989 to develop a spirit of pride and positive development in their area. They are concerned about the landfarming of contaminated soil in their area on land owned by Gene Davis of Davis Oil Company. Mr. Shakir asked that the county commissioners back up the law they have on the books about the landfarming of contaminated soil. The questions he wanted to ask were: 1. What happens after the injunction? Bill Pope responded to the question. The County retained a temporary restraining order on Friday afternoon, restraining any further dumping until there could be a hearing in Court. What oo after the hearing in Court depends upon what the Judge decides. 2. Are you going to move the soil that is already there if the Judge votes not to accept it in the area? Mr. Pope said if the Court determines that the ordinance is valid, then I guess it would be up to the County to determine what would be done about the soil that is already there. Mr. Pope said he did not know the answer to that. He does not know if the soil has been determined to be contaminated. 4 SEP 2.0 199% 631 SEP 20 1994 3. Why didn’t Mr. Davis treat the soil on the site where it was? What were Mr. Davis’ other alternatives rather than dumping in their area? Mr. Shakir said others would like to speak also. Those speaking were: Roosevelt Booker: Inquired if the property would be posted if the soil remained there. Mr. Pope said the State has certain regulations with regard to the spreading of soil that is contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The County has an ordinance in addition to that. The County does not require the property to be posted, and he does not know what the State regulations are. The State takes the position that its regulations control and preempt the County’s regulations, making the County’s ordinance of little or no effect. That is where the Court’s decision will come in, to determine if the County has legal authority to enforce its ordinance. Jane Srail: She is with Citizens for a Clean Environment. They were very pleased with the County’s ordinance. They are overseeing the FCX Superfund Clean-up. They are opposed to transferring soil from one site to the other and are really opposed to bringing it from one county to another. It is their a that Mr. Gene Davis has been bringing soil from other counties. Mr. Bill Pope: Said the County shares Mrs. Srail’s pride in its ordinance and hope that it is a valid ordinance and that it will stand up. Mr. Overcash: Representing the RICE group. Is against land farming. He says there are other ways of doing it, such as burning the soil. Portable incinerators can be brought on site to take care of the burning. Commissioner Boone: Said the board has already instructed the county attorney to go to Court and get an injunction, which he has done. Chairman Haire said there are other methods and not that much more expensive. Joanna Ramseur: Mrs. Ramseur is a representative of the Park Drive Association. She asked some questions from the community. 1. They would like to know how to get the tests results. Mr. Pope said they would need to ask Mr. Davis for them. 2. The community is worried about the lead that may be in the soil. 3. Why bring Alexander County’s dirt down here? 4. Will the Health Department or the EPA track the activities of the soil or whatever needs to be done? Mr. Pope said he did not know the answers to all the questions she asked. He has no way of knowing if there is anything other than petroleum in the soil. It is his understanding the State will not issue a permit for any soil that is contaminated with anything other than gasoline. If there are any contaminants other than gasoline, it is supposed to be disposed of in another method. Gene Davis: Spoke about the matter. The oil companies are required to dispose of these items. He had been paying someone 5 632 else to do it and then that method was no longer valid. He was told by the State officials in Mooresville that he could get a permit and dispose of the soil himself. It took almost two months to get all the permits. He was advised by the State that he had to move the soil. He said he has sent samples of the soil in question to laboratories and the samples have come back negative of contaminants. He asked the county commissioners to look at it and take samples. He said he would pay for it again and let them choose where it was picked up. If there are contaminants on his property, he did not put them there. The residents of Park Drive put them there and it has been going on for over ten years. He distributed pictures showing the condition of the property and mentioned a letter from David Stewart of the City of Statesville, where he has been to the site many times and found truckload after truckload of garbage and paint, paint thinner, freon, air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves, etc., dumped down there. Mr. Davis said he has gone to the expense of removing this debris and hauling it to the landfill and paying the dumping fee. This is the same premises where they applied the soil. Mr. Davis said his test indicates there is no contamination. Mr. Davis said he has built fences--chain link, barbed wire, etc. He has put up numerous barriers to keep people out, and he cannot keep them out. If they come on his premises and there is contamination there that he did not put there, then he does not feel he is guilty. Commissioner Hamby asked if when he had the soil tested, was it tested for heavy metals? A very specific test. Mr. Davis said he had the same test that was required when it was taken out of the ground at the specific site, which is called a pH. Commissioner Hamby inquired if Mr. Sheeks knows if they have to test for heavy metals. Commissioner Madison inquired if the Park Drive Association also took samples. Mr. Davis said he met with about 25 people in the community, near the day care center. They went down to the site and he showed them where the soil had been spread and landfarmed. He furnished a shovel and plastic bags and they gathered some samples. He said he talked with Mr. Sharir and they said they had not had the samples run. The tests cost about $150. Mr. Davis says he plans to build a park there for homes. So he would not be going out there and do something to that soil that would prevent him from selling it. Mr. Doug Eisele spoke for Mr. Davis. He thinks this is a legal question that is not going to be resolved by this board of commissioners. Mr. Eisele said he advised his client to do what he did. He mentioned the Interstate Commerce laws and the federal laws which he believes preempts the local and state laws. Mr. Eisele said there is no evidence that the soil being moved was contaminated. The reports on the soil sent for analysis was that the hydrocarbon was less than 10 parts per million, which is below the standards promulgated by the federal government in its definition of contaminated soil. Based on their samples on September 13, 1994, there was no contaminated soil. Chairman Haire said since the County already has an injunction on this matter, the Board should wait until the Judge makes a decision and go from there. Mr. David Meacham: He said the Housing Authority is probably s SEP 20 1994 SEP <0 1994 one of the largest land owners in the area other than Mr. Davis. He has concerns about contaminants going on that land because of the density of the population in the vicinity. He feels that people think that the debris came from the public housing, and he wanted to defend that and say that it did not. The housing authority is public-owned property. His question to Mr. Davis is does he own any other land? Why did he pick this particular site for dumping the soil? He thinks history and statistics will reveal that there is a tendency to move these sorts of things into areas of lower socio-economic and minority communities. Commissioner Boone said he thought he could speak for the entire board and say the board is committed to keeping a clean environment in this county. The county has an ordinance that prohibits off-site landfarming. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS PRESENTATION OF SCHEDULE OF VALUES (INCLUDING FARM USE) 1995 REVALUATION: Mr. Brent Weisner discussed briefly these two documents that were distributed earlier to the board members.

On August 1, 1994, the health department received word from the State they would be receiving $2680 in grant funds because there were two cases of lead poisoning in children under six years of age. The board of health approved the receipt of those funds and spending of the funds in this fiscal year. The monies will be used for the purchase of two Hewlett Packard computers and color monitors to replace the two existing computers and color monitors in environmental health. The current computers are of mid 80s quality. One will be transferred to Mooresville for the staff to use there. The other one will remain in the Statesville office. The hope to use the new computers for demographic studies in studying the effects of lead poisoning in Iredell County. Budget amendment #6 was included for approval. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve Budget Amendment #6 for the receipt of the $2680 grant funds and for the expenditure of the funds for computers as outlined. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. BUDGET AMENDMENT #7, REORGANIZATION OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH: Mrs. Janet Blaufuss presented this to the board. They expect to receive an annual breast and cervical cancer control grant, which is an ongoing grant. They hope to implement the program in December or January; however, the state will give them a full year’s grant of $24,393.00. They plan to use this fiscal year for salaries $9,405. The remaining expenses they plan to budget and submit to the board for budget revisions later on. Personnel costs ae SEP 20 1994 SEP 20 1204 including promotions of PH Nurse I to PH Nurse II, to manage the breast and cervical cancer control program while continuing with other duties. The staff person would be increased from four to five days a week. An existing PH Nurse II will be promoted to PH Nurse III, and this person would be the overall supervisor for the program, as well as the adult health program (tb, communicable disease control, STHIV, Migrant refugee health, adolescent health, and prenatal programs), and will still function as the prenatal charge nurse. The Health Department is asking that this person receive an 8% increase be granted. She was hired prior to the nursing shortage and hired in at a much lower salary. The salary they are now looking at would still place her below the competitive salary, which is the mid-point range and places this person about $360 above the staff at a lower level, whom she will be supervising. The board of health approved the entire proposal on September 8, 1994, Blaufuss said. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the revision in personnel and Budget Amendment #7, accepting the grant of $24,393.00 and budgeting the personnel costs at $9,405 as outlined. Health Department will come back for a budget amendment on the remainder of the grant at a later time. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HEALTH DEPARTMENT - FEE REVISION: Mrs. Blaufuss presented the amended fee revision and called the board’s attention to the Allied . There is a deletion of a charge of $3.00 for Achieving Balance. They are no longer doing this service. The addition is for the day. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the Fee Revisions as presented. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE AN OFFICIAL BY POSITION TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE SUITABILITY OF ABC PERMITS IN IREDELL COUNTY: This matter was presented to the board by Mr. Mashburn. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to adopt the following resolution: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF STATESVILLE, COUNTY OF IREDELL, REGARDING DESIGNATION OF AN OFFICIAL TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE NORTH CAROLINA ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL COMMISSION ON ABC PERMIT APPLICATIONS.

IC CONTRACT #94-53 NOTIFICATION OF AWARD OF $5,000 GRANT FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA LAND RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (REGISTER OF DEEDS): Mr. Mashburn said the County Commissioners approved the purchase of an Imaging System for the Register of Deeds to cut down on the required space for storage of records. The County Manager also requested the Board to give permission to apply for a grant to be used toward the purchase of this equipment. The board gave permission and a greater amount was applied for; however, the board received $5,000. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the receipt of the grant funds in the amount of $5,000 and to authorize the Chairman to sign the State and County Agreement for receipt of these funds. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. FLOW CONTROL LEGISLATION: Mr. Mashburn said he has received a letter from the National Association of Counties (NACo) urging the county commissioners to take a strong position with their elected representatives in Washington to support legislation that is presently going through the House and Senate concerning Flow Control. Flow Control is the means the Counties have been able in the past to be assured of having the revenues to pay off the indebtedness that has occurred in the building of facilities to comply with federal regulations regarding the disposal of solid waste. In a recent court case, it was established that counties do not have the authority to pass flow control ordinances. It is a violation of Interstate Commerce laws. Only Congress has that authority, Mr. Mashburn said. The Supreme Court panel said they did not have the authority, the Congress could pass legislation to give the counties the authority in a limited basis on flow control. Two bills have been introduced; one in the House introduced by Congressman McMillan, which has been through committee and is on the floor. There is also a bill in the Senate. NACo is saying this is a very crucial time for those bills and asking that county commissioners notify their elected representatives in Washington and ask their support of these bills. Mr. Mashburn asked that the board pass a resolution to notify the elected representatives of the board’s position on flow control. Iredell County has a $10 million indebtedness that is to be repaid with the revenues from receipt of solid waste at the landfill. This debt cannot be repaid from the General Fund. Commissioner Madison said he is definitely in opposition to this flow control as he sees it as a monopoly. He thinks Iredell County is very competitive with its landfill fee, and will continue to be competitive in comparison with some other counties they have recently visited. MOTION from Commissioner Boone not to consider this and any representatives on the board who wished to express their personal sentiments should feel free to do so. Commissioner Hamby said she would be glad to write a letter to Representative Watt. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Hamby). 20 SEP 20 1994 647 SEP 2.0 1994 BUDGET AMENDMENT #8, HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMS FOR 94-95: Susan Blumenstein said the additional grant funds are $7,324. $2,934 is going to the Council on Aging; $4,390 will be going to the DSS. The funds are for In-Home Care Workers. The number of units will be increased. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the Budget Amendment #8, for the receipt of the additional $7,324 in funds for the 94-95 budget year. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - O. REQUEST TO SOLICIT FOR THE MARCH OF DIMES: Mr. Mashburn said this is a matter to comply with the County’s own ordinance concerning solicitation on County property. There is a program called "Bluejeans for Babies" where the March of Dimes solicits funds from the employees. Employees get a sticker when the contribute and the sticker permits them to wear bluejeans on a certain day. This is done in both the private and public sector. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve solicitation for the March of Dimes on County property. VOTING: Ayes ~- 5; Nays - 0.

The current lease expires on December 31, 1994. The County must advise them by September 30th if they wish to continue the lease. The current price is $8.46 per square foot. The new lease price quoted is $9.64 s.f. Mrs. Blumenstein thought the price could be negotiated. These offices are used for the Adult Services Division of DSS.

At the last meeting, the board was asked to agree to at least a year’s extension of the existing lease so they could contract with the amusement company for the 1995 fair. This lease covers five years. The items that are changed were pointed out by Mr. Mashburn.

Those present for the retreat were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Diane M. Hamby C. Douglas Madison, Jr. Alice M. Stewart Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Susan Blumenstein, Director of Finance and Administration Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Jerry Lundy, Director of Planning and Community Development Carson Fisher, Staff Engineer Ronald Weatherman, Director of Solid Waste Others present: Audrey Montgomery, Statesville Record & Landmark Jim Wrinn, Charlotte Observer Members of the Iredell-Statesville School Board, Dr. Register, and members of the I/S staff Members of the Mooresville Graded School District Board, Dr. Carrigan and staff Jim Woodie, Municipal Engineering Company, Raleigh Chairman Haire called the meeting to order at approximately 8:30 a.m., following a half-hour breakfast social. Mr. Mashburn made some remarks and announced that the Iredell-Statesville School System will be first on the agenda. IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS: Bill Long, chairman of the Iredell/Statesville Schools, thanked the board for being included in the retreat and said they were going to talk strictly about facilities today at the retreat. Because of the school bond not passing, the needs of the school system are still there. How can we go about taking care of the needs? He thought what the county commissioners did for the school system this year was great and a good step. He asked Dr. Register to address the board at this time. Dr. Register passed out information from the schools. He said the school needs in Iredell County is a challenge to everybody. They have 300 more students this year than they had last year. This is 423 students over the State’s projection for the school year. Dr. Register thinks the growth will continue in years ahead as Crescent Properties develops its property in the southern end of the county. Using a map, Dr. Register pointed out the south Iredell County schools’ boundaries and how the boundaries would be changed with the construction of the new South Elementary School, which will help to alleviate the overcrowding at these schools. The enrollment at Mt. Mourne and Shepherds is extremely high. Both exceed the maximum capacities at this time. They are currently using 38 mobile units as classrooms in the Iredell-Statesville systen. Dr. Register said Chairman Sara Haire has agreed to serve on the planning committee for the new school. The original plan for the new South Iredell Elementary School was for 500 students. They have classrooms to handle 624 students. He discussed the plan for i OCT 1 994 691 err 1 199% ly i expansion of the school as additional students are enrolled. They plan to build the square footage for dining area, etc., and plan to add classrooms as needed in the future. The challenge to the schools is to keep up with the growth in south Iredell. He said they also have some buildings in bad shape in the rest of the county which are the second and third priorities of the long-range plan. The high school renovations is the second priority and the remodeling, air conditioning, and refurnishing the elementary schools is the third priority of the school board’s plan, Register said. Commissioner Boone said that makes 17,068 students countywide. In 1978 there about 17,500 students countywide. Commissioner Madison asked a question about the size of North Iredell and South Iredell high schools. He asked why they have more mobile classrooms at North High School? Dr. Nantz said South High School has four more classrooms than North. Dr. Nantz said he assumed that it was based on the particular curriculum being offered as to how the classes break down. Commissioner Madison asked about the utilization of the classrooms and Dr. Register said every classroom is not filled every period. Commissioner Madison inquired about the administrative area for the new South Elementary School. He said it looked like it ws going to run about five percent. He said he thought the new East School was excessive in the area of the administrative offices. Dr. Register discussed the property that the I/S system is planning to buy for the new school. The property is located on Oak Tree Road, which runs off Brawley School Road. They are planning to extend water and sewer lines to the school from the Town of Mooresville’s system. Tap-ons for the water line will be restricted, Dr. Register said. There will be an 8" sewer line. Mr. Mashburn inquired about the enrollment and inquired if this is the last year students in the East Statesville would be able to choose between North Iredell High School and Statesville High School. Commissioner Boone inquired about the school’s exchange policy between schools outside of Iredell County. Dr. Register said they have a tuition they charge for people coming in. Dr. Register said the number transferring out of the system is very low and they deal with those on an individual basis. Commissioner Boone said he thought that transferring out should be automatically granted since the schools are concerned about overcrowding. Godfrey Williams said there are more coming in than going out. Tip Nicholson said he did not know of any student who has ever been denied transferral out of the system. It is not automatic to transfer a student out. Skip McCall said automatic transferral either in or out of the system would have an impact on the planning process in planning the sizes of classrooms, etc. Commissioner Madison inquired if the schools automatically accepted anyone who wishes to transfer into the system. Chairman Long said they have to be released from the school they are currently attending. Chairman Haire said she thought the two boards should discuss their monthly meetings. After discussion on whether to have monthly, every other month, or quarterly meetings, the board agreed to meet every month, beginning on the 4th Tuesday in November (November 22, 1994) and continuing with the second Tuesday thereafter. The meetings will be held in the south Wing Conference 652 Room, Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street, Statesville, NC. The hour will be at 7:00 p.m. and a policy would be established to adjourn no later than 8:30 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Madison said he did not think Capital Improvements is the only thing the two boards need to discuss. He thought some of the better meetings were discussions of concerns of both boards. The first one or two meetings should be general discussion. There should be a report from the School Study Committee to discuss. According to the Open Meetings Law, this will be an official meeting of the boards. Dr. Register clarified that the Troutman Middle renovations were bid at the same time they bid the South Elementary School. INTRODUCTION OF CHARLOTTE OBSERVER REPORTER: Mr. Mashburn introduced Jim Wrinn, reporter for the Charlotte Observer for the past eight years. PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE GOALS FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Commissioner Stewart is a member of this committee and read the goals this committee has established. While she did not agree with all the issues, she said, these are the issues approved by the majority of the committee members. MOORESVILLE GRADED SCHOOL DISTRICT DISCUSSION: Mr. Frank Fields expressed his board’s appreciation for the opportunity to come and speak to the county commissioners about the Mooresville School system’s needs. He said he could agree with Mr. Bill Long and Dr. Register about the growth situation. He introduced Dr. Jane Carrigan, superintendent, and Dr. Brice Cummings, Assistant Superintendent. Dr. Carrigan addressed the group and said they had been working on a presentation for the civic organizations in the south end of the county about the needs of the Mooresville Schools. Dr. Cummings expressed his appreciation for the meeting. He cited articles from the Charlotte Observer which gives the growth of all the surrounding counties in the area and the advantages they cited for moving into the south Iredell area. He also discussed the anticipated population growth of the school students. Dr. Cummings gave a comparison of how much is spent on schools versus the amount spent on prisoners in North Carolina, with which the county commissioners have nothing to do, he said. One answer to the overcrowding of schools has been the mobile classroom units. Commissioner Boone inquired how Dr. Cummings arrived at some of his statistics, such as the 1.6 students per household. Dr. Cummings said he was quoting figures he received from the State. Commissioner Boone said there were approximately 40,000 households in Iredell County. If you multiply that by 1.6, that would mean we would have 64,000 school students and we have 17,000. He felt that the 1.6 figure was misleading. Dr. Carrigan gave a picture presentation of the number of mobile units they have in their school system. She said they were registering students constantly now. They have just completed an $11 million Certificates of Participation to house children. She gave the population figures of the schools and the numbers of mobile units they are installing at the schools. They serve lunch at Parkview School now, beginning at 10:40 in the morning until 1:20 with the current school population. Dr. Carrigan’s concerns are the future and knowing the growth patterns are not going to change any time soon. She said they do 3 OCT 11994 OGT 1 1994 not own the mobile units; they just lease them. She gave the projections of the additional required mobile units through the year 1999. One of their priorities is to finish the basement area at Parkview. If their projects are correct, they will fill up the seven proposed classrooms in that basement area next year. Dr. Carrigan said they had not been off on their projects for this year. In 1997-98 the are projecting about 1,000 students in the two elementary schools. They have floating teachers because of the student population. The accumulative costs for these projected years is $).1 million for seven classrooms and the mobile units. In 1998-1939 the accumulative cost will be $1.4 million. This will be for seven classrooms and 15 mobile units. This also involves more and more floating teachers. The lease cost for a mobile unit is $12,000 for the initial year for lease and set-up and about $7,000 per year thereafter. These figures are based on today’s costs and have not been adjusted for four years from now, Carrigan. She expects a four to five percent inflation rate. They have received an estimate for building classrooms with tile floors, no frills, built-ins instead of furniture. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has increased the cost of school construction because of the elevators and other items that must be placed there for the handicapped. In summarizing, she said they have to provide a place for the school children. No matter how well they try to plan, we could begin any school year with 100 more children, she said. Last year they added teachers in the middle of the year. If you look strictly at the mobile unit concept, they will spend $1,399,487, almost $1.4 by the year 1998-99 for seven classrooms and mobile units. We have got to begin in 1995-96 with the purchase of the land, which will be $ .5 million. They are exploring all the possibilities available to them, Dr. Carrigan said. They are going ahead and write the plan and have it ready when the money comes. They won’t have to wait for plans once they get the money. Dr. Carrigan concluded by saying if you have to have a problem, this is a great problem to have. It is far better to see growth than lack of growth because of population changes, as it is in some areas. Commissioner Madison said at $12 per square foot, as he had figured the cost of one of the mobile units, office space could be leased for that amount. He asked if they had looked at a lease- purchase arrangement. Dr. Carrigan said lease-purchase is a very good point, but they cannot do that at this time. She has looked at shopping center areas, churches, etc. State regulations and busing create problems for some of these locations, she said. The problem they have is getting the up-front money. The other problem is making the pay back. Commissioner Boone asked how much of the supplemental tax is going for capital at this time. Dr. Carrigan said nearly 65% of the supplemental tax is going for capital presently. Commissioner Boone inquired if Dr. Carrigan was proposing a middle school and an elementary school on the same campus. Would they share kitchen facilities and athletic facilities, etc.? He said he thought that was a good idea. Dr. Carrigan said they had a few dollars left from the COPs funds. They have looked joining their high school and middle school for one large high school and building another middle school somewhere else. The cost is so great for the stadium and other facilities that it makes better sense to expand the high school where it is now located, Carrigan said. Dr. Carrigan thanked the county commissioners for the a invitation and invited them to visit their school system at any time. Commissioner Stewart inquired how many children stay in mobile units from K-5. Dr. Carrigan said they would not stay in the mobile units all the time. They have developmental day and some other special programs that are in mobile units, but not regular classrooms. Commissioner Stewart said people (usually those who don’t want their taxes increased) say what is wrong with mobile units for classrooms? 15-MINUTE BREAK MOORESVILLE TRANSFER STATION: Mr. Woodie, Carson Fisher, and Ronald Weatherman were present to discuss the plans for the renovations to the Mooresville Transfer Station. Mr. Woodie displayed a graph that showed the land swap involving all the property owners located near the Mooresville Transfer Station site. Tentative agreements have been reached regarding the swap of land; however, no contracts have been signed at this time. Commissioner Madison made a motion to proceed with the land transfers as proposed. The voting for the motion was unanimous. Ron Weatherman said there are now about 720 cars a day that go through the transfer station. There is $700,000 in the Capital Projects Budget for building the new transfer station. Mr. Woodie presented the drawings that show the layout of the proposed transfer station and how the traffic would be routed to the various areas of the project. He described the need of a control point through which to route all traffic for giving directions and instructions. Carson Fisher discussed the fly ash being deposited across the road from the transfer station, which is being brought there by Duke Power Company. There will be a need for a temporary transfer station area while the modifications are being made at the permanent site. The area across the road from the transfer station is being considered, Mr. Weatherman said. They will have to have temporary personnel to hand feed the boxes, he said. Mr. Weatherman said there is about 120 to 160 tons of solid waste that goes through the transfer station each day. Mr. Weatherman said there might be an additional 50 tons a day when the new transfer station is in place. So they may reasonably need to plan for 200 tons a day in the beginning. Mr. Woodie said they have not attempted yet to place a cost of the new transfer station. There is $700,000 in the Capital Budget. Mr. Woodie said with this facility, he would suspect they would be pushed to get it under that and provide what you need to provide. Commissioner Hamby inquired if Mooresville was planning to contribute toward this project. Mr. Mashburn said he thought Mooresville was looking at a minimum of $100,000. Mr. Woodie said their firm has done about eight or ten of these transfer stations, and the cost is there. The scales are going to cost $38,000. LENGTH OF USE OF THE PRESENT CELL AT THE LANDFILL: In answer to questions, Mr. Weatherman said they had originally anticipated that the first cell of the landfill would last five years; however, with the increase in solid waste tonnage flow, they are now estimating close to 4 1/2 years instead of five years. PLANS FOR USE OF OLD LANDFILL: The old landfill on Twin Oaks oct 11994 Road has now been closed out and seeded according to directions from the State of North Carolina. This was completed as of Wednesday, September 28, 1994, ahead of the State’s deadline. The seeding and sedimentation will be completed by next Friday, October 7, 1994. The area has been graded with the idea in mind for future recreational facilities such as playing fields. They used an athletic blend of grass for the seeding of the area, Mr. Mashburn said. This was all done within the budget for closing the old landfill. The meeting was recessed at 12:00 Noon for lunch. PLANNING OVERLAY FOR THE LAKE NORMAN AREA PROPERTY: Mr. Lundy addressed the board regarding this plan. The board adopted watershed regulations to be effective January 1994. They do not have enough data at this time to tell how it is working or whether it is working, he said. He pointed out some of the things that could be done in house if the board feels additional requirements are needed. If the board wants some hard fast facts to make a decision on whether or not it needs to be done, it will cost some money to hire a consultant. Mr. Lundy thought if the board would tell the staff what they want then the staff could do the work. The main issues are probably set backs, larger lot sizes, and clustering. He explained clustering as when you have a density that is less than the number of units allowable within the boundary of what you are developing. That gives a developer more flexibility in design. He does not think that requiring every developer would be a good idea. Mr. Lundy said the staff could put an example of clustering in the ordinance if they wanted one, but he did not think they wanted one. The main three things that Lundy feels are wanted by the interest group is to (1) eliminate discharges, (2) have larger lot sizes, and (3) bigger set backs from the lake (50’). He does not feel that the 50’ set backs would have any impact on anyone. He said he doubted there is one out of fifty houses that applies for permits that build within 50’ of the lake. All Crescent lease lots have 50’ setbacks. If the board wished to expand the 30’ setbacks to 50’ setbacks, he sees no problems with it affecting anyone. If the board will give the staff some direction, then they can carry out the board’s wishes. Commissioner Hamby inquired about clustering in the watershed ordinance. Mr. Lundy said that the ordinance said that clustering is allowed. Their only requirement is that you not exceed the density for the entire site. Mr. Lundy said there could be some amendments made to the zoning ordinance to take care of what the board wanted to do. The county setbacks are from the property line and not from the 760 contour line, Mr. Lundy said. Commissioner Boone said he would like to hear from more people before making a decision on these things. He personally did not have any trouble with 30,000 sq.ft. lots, but he wanted to hear what kind of impact it will have on the land owners, etc. Mr. Lundy said the land owners want to get the highest dollar and the most lots they can get for their land. The folks who are already there want the density to drop. Commissioner Madison said what he had heard has been water quality. The two basic sources of pollution are run-off pollution and the failure of sewer. As that area develops, the watershed regulations will actually take care of the run-off pollution. If the area ever goes to a municipal sewer system, then consideration should be given to the lot sizes. Commissioner Boone discussed the Brawley School Road peninsula and the road condition. Commissioner Madison thought the free market would take care of the traffic problem, because when it gets to a certain level, people will not want to live there, he said. Jerry Lundy inquired if the county commissioners wanted to approve all development that takes place there. The county commissioners said they do not want to review all the development. Commissioner Boone said he thought there were standards needed in the area. Mr. Lundy said he understood that his staff would work on the overlay proposal and get a draft together and come up with a sliding scale, leave in the 50’ setbacks, work on the sewer requirements, and bring it back to the board for approval. There was a feeling that this should be incorporated into the current zoning ordinance rather than having a separate overlay ordinance. Commissioner Boone inquired about the multi-family development. The same number of acres is required for multi-family dwellings as is required for single-family. Commissioner Madison discussed package plants. He thought the board needs to address that issue. The state has regulations regarding package plants, and if the Court rules that the county cannot make more restrictive regulations regarding land farming, that will be the same principle as the package plants. The consensus of the board was that the planning staff should get the proposal together concerning the overlay and present it to the board the first of the year. Chairman Haire said she had a call from Dave Galatti of Centralina Council cf Governments saying they need six people to serve on the Catawba River Corridor Study. Commissioner Stewart said she would volunteer to serve on this committee since she already serves on the Catawba River Basin. Commissioner Hamby discussed when the meetings of the Catawba River Corridor Study would be held. In addressing the package treatment plants, Commissioner Hamby said she did not want to put them into the same category as municipal treatment plants. Mr. Lundy said they might have the health department pull their own samples. Mr. Mashburn said he thought the board should wait until after the court case on the land farming before any decision was made about the sewage treatment plants. ADJOURN: The meeting was adjourned at 1:55 p.m. on a MOTION from Commissioner Madison and a unanimous vote of the board. /Clerk to the Board APPROVED: Sb Ab f / GY¥ ha ocT 11994 OeT~ / 1994 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES OCTOBER 4, 1994 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Session on Tuesday evening, October 4, 1994, 6:00 p.m., County Commissioners’ Meeting Room, Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street, Statesville, NC.

There is a two-year full warranty of the equipment. Isenberg Electric, Inc. was low bidder at $35,387. The General Statutes provides for negotiation with the low bidder when bids come in over the budget which was $29,000 from the County, $3,200 from the Harmony Baseball League, leaving an outstanding balance of $3,187 over budget. Isenberg discounted an additional $387 plus $750 if the light poles and fixtures were purchased directly from the supplier. Mayor John Ray Campbell has obtained donations of concrete and electrical service to offset $2,050.

Mr. Mashburn said this program was being presented in conjunction with the board’s request during budget time for an incentive program. The goal was to develop a program that would be easy to administer and provide awards to encourage employee participation. They have looked at materials and at programs from other cities and counties. A draft was written and submitted to department heads for review. $50,000 was set aside in the budget for this program. Commissioner Boone said there should probably be a provision that the county commissioners would be notified of any awards that were given. Mrs. Harris said there would be administrative procedures put in place on how the evaluation committee would work. They plan to have some type of an award presentation at a commissioners’ meeting. Commissioner Boone said he thought this program would be good as far as it goes. He also thought there should be incentives for department heads and the county manager to show a permanent saving to the county. He thought this would be a good program. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the program as presented and see if we can’t put it in place. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. BUDGET AMENDMENT #9, LONE HICKORY VOLUNTEER FIPE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Clontz, past chairman of the Fire Tax District Board, discussed this with the board.

Lone Hickory has not received their reimbursement for this immunization, and they are entitled to a 45% reimbursement for their costs, since 45% of their fire district is located in Iredell County. This would be $1,000, coming from the Fund Balance of the Fire District.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT: Mr. Mashburn said he did not have a formal report, but since there was some available time before the public hearing as advertised for 7:00, he thought the board would like to hear an update on the Recreation Department from Mrs. Kim Burnett who was present. RECREATION ACTIVITIES: Ms. Burnett said this is an enrichment program that is being offered during their intersessions, which is every nine weeks the kids are out for three weeks. They work with the school systems to come up with programs. The Recreation Department is offering an Adventure Week which is a spin-off of their Adventure Camp. They had ten children to participate in the program last week. Each day they had a different outdoor activity like hiking and climbing, ropes course, white water rafting. Hopefully this will be an every nine-week event, Burnett said. Ms. Burnett said the Camp Iredell Program was down this year in numbers. There is a lot of competition for day care and a lot of parents are making their kids latch-key kids. The Adventure Camp was a success this summer. They were filled every week except one. They do climbing, hiking, and rafting and learning a lot about nature. Mr. Mashburn asked Commissioner Hamby to report on the Recreation Advisory Board Planning Retreat. Commissioner Hamby said the retreat was held in the conference room of the government center. All of the active members of the advisory council came. The recreation advisory board is excited about the park land that was donated to the county. The meeting was recessed until 7:00 o’clock for the public hearing. Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting to public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF THE SCHEDULE, STANDARDS, AND RULES TO BE USED IN APPRAISING REAL PROPERTY IN IREDELL COUNTY IN THE 1995 REAPPRAISAL: Mr. Brent Weisner was present to discuss the hearing. He gave the board a one~page update to add to their packets already received on this subject. Mr. Weisner said he would answer any questions that anyone has on this subject. Commissioner Madison said he had talked with a property owner who had purchased a couple of lots at an auction sale and asked questions about the assessed value. Commissioner Madison inquired if there is any way to use the auction figures to come up with assessments for new subdivisions. Mr. Weisner addressed this question and said that the State does not look at auction sales at all in sales ratios. They wait until resales occur in the auctioned areas to establish vaiue, he said. He said they would not consider auction sales as the fair market value. Commissioner Boone mentioned that he had one of those lots and he was familiar with the matter being discussed. Commissioner Boone inquired how the Sales Assessment Ratio used by the State determined. OCT’ 4 1994 661 OCT 4 1994 Mr. Weisner said the State sends a random sampling of all the deeds of properties transferred in Iredell County. A person in the Assessor’s Office looks up all these deeds and send out letters that appear to be good sales and verify the sales. All this information is then sent to the State. The state may send 2,000 deeds and they may wind up with 150 good ones, Weisner said. That is what the State uses. There were no other matters discussed. No one present wished to speak for or against this matter. CHAIRMAN HAIRE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PROPOSED CONTRACT FOR SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION STRUCTURE AT MOORESVILLE: Mr. Carson Fisher, Staff engineer, presented this document to the board and briefly discussed the document. This contract is for the design of the Waste Transfer Station. The contract is based on the percentage of the construction budget, which will be approximately $75,000, Fisher said. Commissioner Boone said he had a problem with architectural fees, which are based upon a percentage of the total contract price. He thinks there is no incentive to try to hold the costs down and save money. Mr. Fisher said there were other ways to design a contract but the incentive lies with the staff to try to hold the cost within the budget. Mr. Mashburn said the design will be brought back to the board for approval prior to beginning the work. However, Commissioner Boone thought these decisions are difficult for board members to make. Commissioner Madison said there is a lot of work in the contract also. He asked if the fee schedule has been cross~-checked with other engineering firms. Mr. Fisher said he had not done that, but he was familiar with the Farmers Home percentage. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the contract with Municipal Engineering Company for designing the transfer station as presented and recommended by the county manager and the county engineer. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. LANDFILL FEES FOR HOMEOWNERS: Commissioner Boone asked for an explanation of the items an individual home owner has to pay for when the goes to the landfill.

This financial assurance computes certain ratios to show the county is financially sound. No board approval is needed at this time, but Mrs. Blumenstein wanted to make the board aware that this is being filed. There is $2.60 per ton of solid waste being set aside for this closure. This is so the county will not have to come up with this sum of money for the closing all at once.

Commissioner Hamby inquired why Priority I is the new I-77 interchange. Mr. Lundy said that has been the top priority for about three years. He recommends leaving the priorities as near the same because of having a better chance of having the priorities funded, Lundy said. Commissioner Stewart said that Priorities I and II are basically the same and are very closely related. Mr. Lundy said part of the Priority II has been done this year and he thought a statement of appreciation would be in order for this. Some improvement has been made in the beautification of the intersections and appreciation for this would be expressed with the submission of the 1995 priority list.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT REGIONAL JAIL TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn reported on the Regional Jail Task Force meeting held on October 11th. Both Commissioner Boone and Mr. Mashburn attended this meeting at Newton. They received a presentation from Sedgwick James, the consulting company that is working on this for Catawba and Iredell County. It appears that in the regional concept, initially Iredell County will have the most to gain with the regional jail. Over a period of time, both counties will benefit from the regional concept. Those in attendance felt that they should continue to pursue this concept and another meeting has been set for November 15th in Statesville. He presented copies of the information given to them at the meeting. All information given out is preliminary, he said. Commissioner Boone said according to the figures given at the meeting, a regional jail would cost over $2 million less than building a jail just for Iredell County. JAIL MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE: Mr. Mashburn said this task force has been meeting regularly to look at the needs of the Criminal Justice Systen. They met on October 11th and discussed the Criminal Justice Partnership Act. No conclusions were reached as to the greatest need in this area, but they are taking a closer look at the problem. They plan to attend a meeting in Winston- Salem on October 20th that will tell them what to do to become eligible for the state funds that will be allocated. HOUSE NUMBERING PROJECT: Mr. Mashburn gave a report on this project. They are making progress, but it is hard to finish up. They have put together a team of all the participanting departments to finish the job and get the job finalized. The team is located in the Mapping Office. They hope to soon finish the project, Mashburn said. ECONOMIC SUMMIT MEETING ON NOVEMBER 3, 1994: Mr. Mashburn said this meeting will occur at the Troutman Town Hall.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS NON-OWNER PETITION: PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE W. N. ALEXANDER FARM SUBDIVISION, FINDING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE PETITION: Mr. William Allison, County Planner, presented this to the board. The request is from several property owners in the W. N. Alexander Farm Subdivision to have the property rezoned from RA to R-20, Single Family Residential. The property is located on Alpine Circle off SR 1005, Old Mountain Road, and is more specifically identified as Lots 1-25, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map 8T-2. Twenty-two out of a possible 25 property owners signed the petition, which represents 88% of the total ownership and 91 acres of the 137 total acres that lies within the petitioned area. Staff finds the petition in order, Mr. Allison said. The Planning Board voted unanimously to find the petition appropriate on October 5, 1994. There were people present who wished to speak regarding this non-owner petition. Chairman Haire permitted them to speak even though this is not a public hearing. Mrs. Brenda Dye owns Lot #1 in the subdivision and said they had put a double wide mobile home on their lot, and the closure of the loan and the setting up of the mobile home has been postponed because of an injunction placed upon the subdivision by the same petitioners who are petitioning for the R-20 zoning. Further discussion revealed that there are deed restrictions on the lots in the subdivision which require stick built homes only. Ben Lappen spoke regarding the subdivision. He said they filed a preliminary injunction based on deed restrictions. He described the restrictions. Alex Rooker, president of the Atlantic Division of Timberland Homes, spoke. His company holds a Deed of Trust on Lot #1. The petitioners asked for an injunction to stop anything that could impact that property. The Dyes have been unable to close on their home loan. They would like to get the matter solved. Chairman Haire asked the County Attorney for guidance. Mr. Pope said the board is not being asked to rezone the property but to find the petition appropriate for consideration for rezoning. The County has not been made a party to the law suit, so the County has no interest in that. Commissioner Boone inquired if the Court determined that the deed restrictions did not bar the modular home from being placed on the lot and the property was rezoned to R-20, would the Dyes be barred from putting their house on the lot or would they be grandfathered? Mr. Pope said he did not know enough of the facts to know the answer. Commissioner Madison requested to be released from voting on this issue because his realty company has listed Lot #7 in the subdivision. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to excuse Commissioner Madison from voting because of a conflict of interest. 2 NOV } 1994 689 NOV 1 190} VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.

ED BAILEY, CITIZEN: Chairman Haire asked again if Mr. Bailey was present, and he was not. She asked the County Manager to address his concern as expressed to him when he asked to be on the agenda. Mr. Mashburn said Mr. Bailey wanted to talk about his concern with the practice in some of the volunteer fire departments where the volunteer members are permitted to utilize the facilities to wash their personal vehicles. Mr. Mashburn does not know if this is a particular department or all the departments. This is a common practice at the departments, he said. The firemen are volunteers, who spend eight to ten hours a week in volunteer work. They spend long hours preparing equipment, taking training, and standing by for ready response. If we added the total cost of paying the firemen for their time, then the amount of benefit they receive for washing their vehicles is something that is very minor and the majority of people would have no problem with. The other matter was the Sheriff’s Department employees using their vehicles when they do private security guard duty. The policy is that deputies are permitted to take vehicles home with them which provides additional patrolling on the road while they go to and from work. They can be called to duty at a moment’s notice. The Attorney General’s opinion was read showing that the GS supports the deputies’ activities other than for personal service.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT - PASSENGER WAGON BIDS, BUDGET AMENDMENT #11: Mrs. Kim Burnett was present to discuss the bids received, which were as follows: Mooresville Motor Company $21,078.80 Emerald City Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge $21,976.95 " (Alternate) $23,339.55 Randy Marion Chevrolet $22,345.00 Boggs Motor Co. $22,505.45 " (alternate) $24,078.51 The low bid, Mooresville Motor Company, exceeded the budgeted amount of $20,600 by $478.80 plus the $632.36 NC Use Tax (not refundable to the county). Commissioner Boone inquired if they could not negotiate with the low bidder since the low bid was over the budgeted amount. 696 Mrs. Caldwell said the price increase of approximately 9% over last year’s price is due to a considerable reduction in the dealer’s bid concession from Ford Motor Company. They normally expect a 3 to 5% price increase; however, this year there was a 9% increase over last year’s prices. MOTION from Commissioner Hamby to accept the bid from Mooresville Motor Company in the amount of $21,078.80 and approve Budget Amendment #11 to move $1,111.16 from Contingency to the Recreation budget to make up the difference in the bid amount and the budgeted amount.

VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. DISCUSSION OF RECREATION FACILITIES - Commissioner Diane M. Hamby: Commissioner Hamby requested this matter to be placed on the agenda for discussion at this meeting. Chairman Haire called upon Commissioner Hamby at this time to speak. Commissioner Hamby said the City of Statesville will be taking over the recreational facilities at East Iredell Elementary, so the county children who have been using that field as a part of the county recreation program will no longer be allowed to do so. She mentioned the recently capped landfill and said that it is being made ready for a recreational facility and suggested that a project fund be set up 12 706 for this former landfill area. She wanted to finish the park so that it could be in use by spring of 1995. A discussion was then held by Commissioner Hamby and Commissioner Madison on whether the park would be ready to be used by spring 1995. The board members discussed the early formulation of the community park plan for four recreational parks in the four quadrants of the county and the community match of funds that was stressed in the presentation by the former chairman of the recreation advisory committee, Mr. Bill Benfield. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to table this matter and refer it back to the recreation advisory board so they can bring a recommendation back to the county commissioners. Commissioner Madison said since the board now has some permanent sites that can be worked on, he thinks it needs to be done in a methodical manner so the most can be accomplished for the dollars that are available. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Hamby) .« Commissioner Stewart inquired about the matching funds and if property contributed would be considered a part of the matching funds from the community. Chairman Haire said the presentation from Mr. Benfield to the county commissioners specifically stated that the matching funds would be raised from the community. Commissioner Stewart said what she was specifically asking is that if you have the property in hand, does a community consider the property a portion of their 50 match? Chairman Haire said she did not think that was the intention at all. Chairman Haire reiterated that it was her understanding from Mr. Benfield in his statement to the board that if the commissioners were agreeable to the concept, the communities would raise 50% of the matching funds. Commissioner Stewart inquired if this 50% would include any property contributed by a community. Commissioner Madison said it was his understanding that the land would be contributed. Mr. Benfield thought that would be the first commitment to come. The funds would go to the development of the parks. Commissioner Stewart said that was not a motion from her. It was a question for clarification. Commissioner Madison said if the agreement needs to be changed, it can be changed. He thinks there needs to be a lot more discussion and guidance for direction which way to go.

APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD COOL SPRINGS VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT (RICHARD JENKINS AND MARTIN COMER), AND TOMMY BOWLES, CHAIRMAN OF THE IREDELL COUNTY 2 714 FIRE DISTRICT COMMISSION: Mr. Bowles explained the reason for the request to be heard. He said the Fire Commission unanimously voted not to fund the erection of a new fire department for Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department. The reason for the voting is that they felt the project is larger and more detailed than the commission can endorse at this time because of funding. The reason for his appearance, Bowles said, is to ask for guidance on what the county commissioners wish the fire service district board to do regarding future expansion and relocation of fire departments. He had hoped to have this done in a work shop session, he said. Bowles said the commission is not opposed to building the new station; it will be inevitable in the future, but at this time they do not have the resources to do it. Again he asked what direction the commissioners wished to give them in this matter. Chairman Haire said her comment on this matter is that she thinks these decisions are a function of the fire commission. Commissioner Madison said he thought the county commissioners were looking for recommendations from the fire commission. He thinks the fire commission could not be given a “blank check", but he believes the county commissioners rely heavily on the fire commission’s judgment in the matters of fire protection because of their experience. He requested a work shop session. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Comer, representing the Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department, were present. Mr. Comer said they had a pre-construction cost estimate for the station of $500,000. He said this probably is a high estimate. Mr. Comer mentioned the January 1, 1996 deadline for any area that is currently in a unrated insurance district is to be assigned to the department geographically closest to the unrated area, which, in this case, would be County Line, an out-of-county department. Any fire tax ea generated in the area will go to County Line VFD, Comer said. Commissioner Madison inquired if the board of commissioners could not, at their next meeting, meet with the Cool Springs VFD and the fire commission representatives regarding this matter. The work session meeting could be held at 5:00 p.m. prior to the regular 6:00 p.m. meeting of the board, he suggested. There was a discussion of the existing contract between the City of Statesville and Cool Springs VFD for the fire protection that Cool Springs department gives to the City of Statesville. The contract is an annual contract for $27,000 a year for five years. Mr. Jenkins said they verbally proposed to the City Fire Department a ten-year contract at $75,000 a year. Chairman Haire inquired if it is agreeable to the county commissioners to invite the fire commission and the Cool Springs VFD representatives to a meeting at 5:00 p.m. on December 20, 1994. Mr. Bowles said he would ge- the information on the January 1, 1996 deadline to the county attorney so that the county attorney could research this matter prior to the meeting on December 20th. FORMAL APPROVAL OF TELEPHONE REQUEST OF COMMISSIONERS REGARDING FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES AT THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to formally approve the request for the Social Services to hold a fund raising event through the sale of raffle tickets at the social services office. Approval of this was given by board members through a telephone request of the board members since the last meeting. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. BUDGET AMENDMENT #12: Mrs. Susan Blumenstein requested board approval of this budget amendment in the amount of $22,840 for the DEC ¢ 1994 715 DEC 6 104 CBA funds allocated for a SCAN program, which was approved on November 15, 1994. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve Budget Amendment #12 in the amount of $22,840 as presented. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. LEAD AGENCY FOR HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the County Manager as lead agency for the Home and Community Care Block Grant Committee. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HEALTH DEPARTMENT - STATE IMMUNIZATION PLAN AND BUDGET AMENDMENT #13: Mr. Bill Mashburn discussed this with the board. This is for receipt of $12,476 from the state for immunization funds to improve child immunization rates. The funds will be spent between January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1995. No county matching funds are required, Mr. Mashburn said. The board of health approved this on November 10, 1994. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the request to amend the health budget in the amount of $12,476 to accept the State Immunization Funds and adopt Budget Amendment #13 as required in this matter. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HEALTH DEPARTMENT - WIC PROGRAM EXPANSION FUNDS: Mr. Bill Mashburn presented this matter to the board. The state WIC program has additional funds in the amount of $14,808 that are available to the health department for a Medicaid outreach program to expand the WIC caseload. This is because of a state mandate to increase the number of women, infants and children served by the WIC program. The county is currently serving 1900 women, infants and children. With these additional funds, they expect to increase the caseload to 2400 by June 30, 1995. This is for the remainder of this fiscal year and they expect to have the continued expansion in FY 95-96, Mashburn said. The additional funds available to Iredell County is $14,808 which would be to add part-time staff. Mr. Mashburn understands the funding will continue into the 95-96 fiscal year. No county matching funds are required. At this time this matter has not been before the board of health at a meeting, although a majority of the board members were polled prior to this meeting so that verbal approval from the board of health could be received on the request. Commissioner Boone said he had a philosophical problem with staff begging people to take the money. He thinks that is what the state is having the county to do, and he has a problem with that. Mr. Boone asked if there is anything the board can do rather than hiring additional personnel. Mr. Bill Mashburn said they could do something with the funds at the Mooresville Health Office. Commissioner Boone, who is the board’s representative to the board of health, said he would prefer that this matter go before the board of health. MOTION from Commissioner Boone that we remand this issue to the board of health for their January 12, 1995 meeting for their recommendation to the county commissioners as to what use to make of this money. Commissioner Madison asked if there is a time frame. 716 Mr. Bill Mashburn said there was a November 28th deadline to the state, which they met after doing the survey. He hoped they could put these funds into escrow until a decision was made on how to use then. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. HEALTH DEPARTMENT - REQUEST TO UPGRADE ENVIRONMENTAL POSITION: Mr. Bill Mashburn said they have a problem with the south end of the county in the environmental service. They lost their soil scientist who was to serve the developers and the subdivision work in the south end of the county. They have not been able to fill the position since this person resigned and moved away from the county. They have been looking in the department to see if there is someone already on staff who could do this. The person they are considering currently serves as supervisor in the Mooresville office. The proposal is to use the funds presently budgeted for a soil scientist and increase the supervisor’s pay with a portion of the funds and hire another experienced environmental specialist with the remainder of the funds, so that no time would be lost for training. Commissioner Boone inquired why additional funds would be needed. He thought the funds should be there in lapsed salaries. Mr. Kelly Sheeks said a portion of the funds had been used for overtime salaries. Commissioner Madison inquired if this has been before the health board, and Mr. Bill Mashburn replied that it has not. Commissioner Madison said there are some real problems in this department which he has discussed with Kelly Sheeks. Commissioner Madison said he thought they needed some input from the contractors, the developers, and the folks that are buying the service from the county, and it needs to come as a recommendation from the board of health. He further thinks there are additional problems that go beyond this particular position, and that an in- depth study is needed of this department. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to remand this back to the board of health with a request that they delve into it as soon as possible and as deep as possible and come back with a recommendation on what needs to be done in that department to make it work. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Chairman Haire declared the meeting in public hearing session.

This is because the dealers are not receiving the factory discounts as they have in previous years. The request from the sheriff’s department is to reduce the number of cars from ten to nine and go with the low bid price from Bell & Howard for the Chevrolet Caprice at $140,868.50.

NURSE POSITION AT JAIL - BUDGET AMENDMENT #14: Mrs. Susan Blumenstein said Sheriff Redmond has decided to contract for the service of a jail nurse rather than having a staff position.

The request is for a Budget Amendment #14 in the amount of $17,650 in the unused nurse’s salary to Contracted Services to pay for the contracted services with the outside service. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve Budget Amendment #14 as presented. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CONTRACT FOR EXTENSION OF GDS RECYCLING: Mr. Carson Fisher, staff engineer, discussed this contract and made the following recommendation to the board: To renew GDS’s contract until September 1995 with the following revisions: 1. GDS will charge a $20/ton processing fee for plastics only. 2. Iredell County be allowed the option to pull the plastic boxes, deliver them to the baler facility, unload the plastics, return the box, and market those materials ourselves. 3. GDS continue to charge an additional $20/ton fee for contaminated materials. 4. GDS will pay us scale price for ONP(old newsprint) and used beverage cans. Commissioner Boone inquired if the County has the option of purchasing the boxes and allowing GDS to continue to haul. Mr. Fisher said there is an option to purchase, and they looked at that option and looked at new boxes. New boxes would cost twice as much as the ones GDS presently has. The biggest savings in the cost would be if the County could haul the boxes themselves to either 7 DEC 6 1004 719 DEC 6 1994 GDS or another market. Commissioner Boone referred to a memo dated 9/13/94 that Fisher had contacted Cindy Ballenger of GDS and she had said they would sell the 30 cu. yd. containers for $2800 and the 40 cu. yd. containers for $3100. Commissioner Boone pointed out that the County is paying $150 month rental on these boxes. He thought in less than two years the County would come out ahead by purchasing the boxes. Mr. Fisher said they had looked at that option. They wanted to try to reduce the transportation cost. The staff would prefer at this time to continue to work with GDS and take a closer look at this when the transfer station is completed. There is a question on whether they would continue to use the boxes after September 1995, Fisher said. Mr. Fisher said the County has been using the rental boxes for about three years. Commissioner Boone said he wished they had bought the boxes three years ago. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the extension of GDS contract until September 16, 1995 as proposed by Mr. Fisher. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

Those present for the meeting were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Stephen D. Johnson C. Douglas Madison,Jr. Alice M. Stewart School Board members present: Bill Long, Chairman Jeff Tucker Tip Nicholson Jane Laney Skip McCall Absent: Steve Austin Godfrey Williams Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Dr. Jesse Register, School Superintendent Chairman Haire opened the meeting and welcomed the members of the Iredell-Statesville School Board and Dr. Register to the meeting. Commissioner Boone discussed the political changes in Raleigh and how it might affect the budgeting process for the schools. He thought the NCAE had less control over this legislature than in previous years. He thinks there is an opportunity to have better schools at a lower cost if changes can be made in Raleigh and Washington regarding education. David Boone said he thought they should consider changes that could be made at the state level regarding (1) Basic Education Plan (BEP) (which is a very expensive program). The expansion of the BEP last year prorated out to about $ .5 million for Iredell County, he said. (2) The Smart Start Program cost the state about $350,000,000. Iredell cCounty’s prorated share is about $4 million. Commissioner Boone said he thought it would be better if these mandates were done away and take that money and give it to the schools in the form of block grants and let the schools do what they want to with it, whether it’s Capital Needs or Current Expense. He thinks if this could be done, it would be a win-win situation for everybody. A lot of the elementary teachers think the program is more of a hindrance anyway, because students are pulled out of classes to have enhancement classes. Bill Long said for everyone who says that, there is another one that says the opposite. Mr. Long said Mr. Boone was commenting about things that are out of the control of the school board. Mr. Boone said he realized that; he was asking the school board’s opinion on whether they would join with the county commissioners in asking the state in trying to do something about this. a DEC 13 1994 3 1994 => NEC Bill Long said he thought the way the whole state government of the school boards design is ridiculous. He thinks the school superintendent of education in North Carolina should be appointed by an elected school board, when just the opposite is the case--the school board is appointed and the superintendent is elected. Wherever these programs come from, Bill Long said, there is a long term situation. You can’t judge a program in a year, or two, or three years. An example is testing. For the first time, they think they will have a base to judge the tests from year to year. Before they not only changed the test, but they changed who was tested from year to year. The tests are measured in different ways--some are proficiency tests, some are percentile, some are purely percentages. Regarding the BEP, in his opinion, the dollars could be better utilized. The state board of education took a survey on capital needs. Commissioner Boone said he saw that. He thought it was everybody’s wish list. Bill Long said he did not have the answer for education, the only thing he thinks they can work with is what they are told they have to work with, the dollars we are allotted. Dr. Register said they would like to have more flexibility in the budgeting, that over-regulation is a problem. Unless the power structure in Raleigh is changed, it will remain that way. Commissioner Stewart said she thought Raleigh plays the same game that the commissioners have played over taxing authority for the school boards. She said she had doubts that even with changes that have been made in Raleigh, that there will occur much less regulation. Dr. Register said they had tried to use the BEP funding to the best advantage of the I/S system and have as much flexibility as possible in using the funding for classroom teachers, etc. Chairman Haire said she thought block grants to the school systems are a good method of funding. Steve Johnson asked if the school boards would like to have more autonomy in the operation. Bill Long said he thought everybody would like to take the money and leave the state out of it. Skip McCall said people in all situations thought those closest to the problems could best make the decisions. Since the State funds most of the money, he thinks they will continue to make the rules. The state has to be accountable for the expenditure of the money as well. He hopes for reform, but he said he did not think there would be any sweeping changes from Raleigh as long as they are providing the funding and are accountable to the taxpayers for the way they spend the money. Commissioner Stewart said especially between current expense and capital. That’s not going to happen. They are not going to release the dollars for capital or to allow local governments to mix them up. The responsibility for funding for facilities, she thinks, will remain with the counties. Skip McCall said he did not think there would be sweeping, revolutionary changes, there might be some changes giving more autonomy to school boards. Any of that would be to the school boards’ benefit--it giving more discretion on how the money is spent, he said. In another few years there will be another sweeping change and whatever you have gained may be reversed and that is the politics of the matter. Commissioner Boone said he did not like to sound like a pessimist, but to a large extent on the local level, they were just beating their heads against the wall. Tip Nicholson made some remarks about the funding mandates from the State regarding teachers’ salary increases, the low wealth county funding, the energy bills being passed to the counties, 2 726 etc., and how that affects the schools’ budgeting process. Skip McCall said there are some things beyond the control of the school board, and they must operate within their circle of influence. Those things they can influence and they can do it in a positive way and have a positive impact on education. They have to continue to look at those things and see where they can influence education on a local level. As a school board, they try to focus on where they can control and influence, Mr. McCall said. Commissioner Johnson recommended that Mr. McCall call Representative Frank Mitchell and express his views, which could make a difference. David Boone talked about the Limited Choice with high school students taking courses at the community colleges. This is a bill that may be introduced in the General Assembly this year, Boone said. The students would get both high school and community college credits, and the dollars "would follow the students," Boone said. He asked the school board for its comments. Bill Long addressed the need for planning for the student enrollment so the schools would know how to plan for students’ activities. School officials have to know how many students they can count on, he said. That would be a problem with having students go from one school or another. Commissioner Boone said he thought this would take planning. Mr. Long used the illustration of feeding students, etc., on how the schools have to plan. This is a huge fixed overhead, Mr. Long said. He asked if he had ever heard of the state coordinating something like this. He used the illustration of the test scores and the delay that is involved that creates problems for them in using the results of the test scores. Skip McCall said any idea is worth considering if it improves the efficiency in education and reduces the cost. These things have to be the litmus test for anything we do, he said. He said it would be difficult for him to respond to Limited Choice without studying and knowing the details of the bill and how it is going to impact the areas of efficiency and cost reduction. Commissioner Madison said he thought children were going to have to be educated in the most efficient manner that they could come up with. He thinks that is what the people want. Monopolies have never been efficient, never been noted for their efficiency in business or anywhere else. They tend to grow and add cost without benefit and tend to become ------ - That is what he feels they are confronted with and he thinks there will be major changes in Washington and Raleigh and maybe in Iredell County as a result of November 8th. He thinks it would be foolhardy and presumptuous to think that we are going to maintain the status quo for the next couple of years, because he thinks there are going to be changes whether we like them or not. We, as boards, need to be looking, not only philosophically, but from practical planning in coming up with contingency plans. What are we going to do? Bill Long said they are already doing that. our In-Service Maintenance was a huge step in reducing cost and improving the buildings. That was purely the result of the state’= change in custodian salaries. They were trying to get more bang for the buck, Long said. Commissioner Madison said he thought they were going to see some form of a voucher system before long. The reason for this is that the capital needs all over the state for over $200 billion for the wish list. Why should the tax payers continue to be taxed to fund these when the private sector will do it for nothing? If you were confronted with a voucher system in the next year, what would you do? There needs to be some thought given to this if it would 3 DEC 13 199% NEC 13 O94 happen. He thinks people are fed up with the system. Bill Long said if they were faced with the voucher system next year, they would continue to go the way they are going. They would look for ways to educate children. Children are not educated like they used to be. Unlike business they cannot fire teachers who are not getting the job done. All they can do is reteach the teachers, he said. That is a huge undertaking. They spent a lot of money this year teaching teachers how to educate children. Commissioner Boone thought they should push to change the tenure law. Bill Long said the principal tenure rule was changed. Mr. Long said in his opinion the tenure law probably hurts the school system dollar-wise across the state as much as any law on the books because a lot of them have been promoted up to get them out of the school system, to make bigger bucks. For instance, when a principal in a big high school is moved, the tenure law says you have to continue to pay that principal that big salary. The new principal law states that existing principals can agree to change but they don’t have to. They have to agree to give up tenure. Bill Long said when you are paying a principal $100,000 a year, you are going to have great competition among principals. Commissioner Boone said he understood there is going to be a $2,000 tuition grant bill to be introduced into the legislature. This would be similar to the tuition grant to private colleges now. The idea, he said, would be to make it revenue-neutral. Only those who are just beginning to send their children to private schools would be able to get this funding. He said this could eliminate a lot of capital needs for the schools. He thought it might make the public school system a lot better because it would create competition. He thinks this bill will be proposed, but he does not know how far it will get. Jane Laney said private schools do not have to put up with the unruly children, but public schools have to. Skip McCall said he was wondering if the repercussion from that would be that the public school system would become the dumping ground for undesirable students. The private schools would be getting all the best, good students and would be developing an elite private school system and a very poor system of public schools. Commissioner Boone said he thought there was a poor system of public schools right now. If it did happen that 90% of the students went to private schools, it would be a lot cheaper and 90% of the students would have a better education and the other 10% probably wouldn’t be any worse. They would not be nearly as many administrators, counselors, and people like that. Commissioner Johnson said regardless of whether you come Up with a voucher system or whatever, if we continue to operate the way we have, we are going to wind up to two distinct education systems--one public and one private. The bad part of it is that there will be two distinct segments of society. He does not think that is what they want. Regardless of whether you are an advocate of public education or private education, we are going to have to get ahead of the ---- and take steps. If we don’t we will be steamrolled. Skip McCall said education, in his opinion, not only has the responsibility to provide a basic education in terms of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but there are key factors that education has to satisfy. It has to be structured in a fashion that helps to enforce, integrate, and stimulate into society the cultural values and principles that are necessary for society to continue to provide. Depending upon how education is structured, it could severely impact what he feels is one of the primary goals of education. If we structure education the wrong way, we can encourage polarization, separation, and end up with what you are 4 728 describing--a society where you have two separate cultures and two separate sets of values and principles, and that is not good for any society. When you look over the course of history where that has transpired, eventually the society itself has crumbled. That is why education has to be looked at in more than terms of what it costs for facilities. There is an underlying objective that education has to meet if society is going to sustain itself. Commissioner Boone said that was a real interesting point. The integration that occurred in the last 19th and early 20th century, we had a larger number of immigrants than we do now, and a lot of these people were from Eastern Europe and spoke German or Polish, but not English. At that time, New York City had a good public school system. They said public schools took people from different cultures, they all learned English, all learned our conditions and values, learned to be Americans, did a whole lot to make us one country. He thought that was a very powerful argument. At least of the third of the original settlers in Iredell County were German. They did not speak a word of English when they came. In Pennsylvania, over one-half of the settlers spoke German. Ina county like Catawba, at least one-half were German. There were no public schools whatsoever around it, yet within a generation all of them had learned to speak English and had become homogenized without any public schools. Today with this bilingual education and that sort of thing, the public schools might be hurting assimilation as much as they are helping. Skip McCall said he did not know a better alternative than what we have. Those were different circumstances and a different set of motivations than we have today. Commissioner Boone said they were very rural people in a very different setting, and you would think it would take them longer to assimilate under those circumstances than in a society where we have instant communication. Mr. Long said instant communication made it all the more vital. As the communication system got better, the needs became more and more to be able to communicate. Commissioner Madison said he would like to respond to something that was mentioned earlier by Skip and Jane, about the system being elite. That’s what we have today. The welfare recipients can’t go to private schools. There was a case in Milwaukee in the late 80’s where a welfare mother sued the City of Milwaukee because they could not give her son an adequate education. They won the law suit and that school system came under court order---. They had a mass exodus for the first year. The second year it bottomed out; the third year people started coming back. Not because they were tired ----, but because the public schools had reached the same level and the private schools, and it was the competition that brought them up. It was that search of excellence that required them to get out and find out what the other guys are doing so that they would get their clientele back. It worked there; it didn’t stratify the systems. It raised all of them to a new level. Bill Long asked if the decrease in number in a classroom did not have something to do with it. He thought this was something that none of us have control over it. Commissioner Madison said there might be more control now than two months ago. Skip McCall said competition is a factor in improvement-- whatever it is. He thought there were pros and cons with the voucher system. He thinks there is tremendous competition right now. He sees it in competing with the crime; competing with the teen-age pregnancy; competing with illiteracy, all those factors that result from not educating children. Those are competitive factors as far as he is concerned. He thinks there are enough of those that say we are not doing as efficient job as we ought to be 5 pec 13 3 729 pec 13 doing in educating our children. There are plenty of those factors out there that demonstrate that we are not doing as efficient job as we ought to be doing, and if we don’t do a better job, then those factors are going to continue to increase and they are going to cost the taxpayers a lot more money. To me, he said, that’s competition enough. Doug Madison said low income individuals cannot afford private schools. That’s the discrimination you are seeing as we speak, he said. It was questioned if low income would be able to afford private schools with a voucher system. Skip McCall said he thought we have to look at schools that are effective, whether they are private or public. We need to learn to know and take some of their ideas and concepts and apply them to their system and help them to become more effective and more efficient. He thinks the competition is there, he said, against societal problems and social ills that come with people being uneducated. Doug Madison said that analogy is a lot like saying that J. C. Penney is in competition with Joe’s Bar and Grill because they are both after sales. I don’t think there is parallel to the competition you are talking about at all. You do not have a direct competitor to the Iredell-Statesville School System. The Christian school is not a competitor to the Iredell-Statesville School System because it is very select in what it can do, and the kid that goes to the Christian School, the parents have already paid their taxes and then they are paying an additional tuition to send them there. That is not competition. It is very limited as to who can actually afford to do that. Mr. Long said that it was their job to make a public school system that everybody would want to go to, rot to have one that everybody doesn’t want to go to. Mr. Boone used an analogy of General Motors to make a point about competition in the schools. Mr. Long said the reason people are going to the private schools is not because of better education but because they want to segregate the rich from the not-so-rich. Commissioner Boone said a voucher system would allow the not-so-rich the same option that the rich have now. Mr. Long did not think there was any way to get around the system to compete with the cost. Mr. Boone said the Christian school is doing it for about 1/3 the cost of the public school. People are going to those. Commissioner Johnson said he would take issue with something that has been said about education solving a lot of the problems like teen-age pregnancies, and that type of thing. There was a discussion of what is moral decisions and economic decisions. Commissioner Johnson said there has been a lot of talk about re-instituting prayer in public schools, re-instituting morals back into public education, and as a private citizen, if there is some legislation that allows prayer in public schools and they do allow you to display the Ten Commandments and they do allow to teach these things. Are you willing to provide that moral leadership? Mr. Long said the county commissioners would have to pay for it. Mr. Long said the school system has gone right up to the wall with prayer. They have done everything they can to allow prayer in school. If the wall is pushed back some more, they will be right up against it again. Commissioner Boone said he thinks the school system has done all it can with the prayer situation, given what they have had to work with. Skip McCall said that by legislating morality, this country is so diverse in its perception and interpretation of morality that 6 730 you really are going to cause a lot of problems in an education system if we try to legislate or educate morality. If they pass a law to hang the Ten Commandments, that only applies to one religion. How are you going to address the other religions in the country? he asked. They have to have the same opportunity. That’s what you get into when you try to legislate or educate morality or beliefs. Commissioner Boone said anything you teach is going to be taught from some viewpoint. We do teach values whether we say we do or not. Commissioner Stewart said when she was a child they were taught a sermon from a Baptist preacher about every day when she was in school. There were children in the school from all religions, and they wondered when they would be able to hear from their priest. The world is not like that now. Commissioner Boone said that one argument for the voucher system would be for those who want their children educated in a religious system. Commissioner Stewart said she was not convinced that parochial or Christian schools don’t run parallel with the same problems that public schools do. In Virginia where private church schools are many, one school with K-12 have their share of teen-age pregnancies, kids involved in crime, etc., just like the public schools do. These kids have been raised in the best of homes with Christian principles and values and yet on a parallel basis, the number in the private school and public schools, percentage-wise is probably equal, Stewart said. Commissioner Johnson said he thought they were well versed on one another’s ideologies, he thought they should move on with the meeting. Commissioner Boone inquired about the issue of students which wished to transfer to other counties. He brought up this subject in October and was told that no one had ever been turned down. Parents with a student in North Iredell lived near the Davie County Line and his friends went to Davie County. He made a request to transfer to Davie County and was turned down. He questioned why this happened. He had a letter that he shared with the school board. He said the boy was now enrolled in the Believer’s Faith School. The parents of the student told Mr. Boone about this. Mr. Long said they would look into it. (Skip McCall left the meeting at this time.) DISCUSSION OF FUTURE MEETINGS: Commissioner Madison said the second Tuesday in the month would create an on-going conflict for him and wondered if the group could move the meeting to the fourth Tuesday night in each month. There seemed to be no conflict for anyone, so the next meeting was set for January 24th, at which time they suggested having the members of the Iredell-Statesville School Board present to give a final report. PLANS FOR THE SOUTH IREDELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Dr. Register and staff showed the schematic drawings of the proposed new school facility. The building was designed for expansion in three different wings. He said Mt. Mourne grew 100 students this year. What they have asked the architects to do is design a building that would be expandable. They are building support facilities for the larger number of students they plan to build for in the future, which is costing more to build now, Register said. These support areas are the dining facilities, library, and multi-purpose area. The cost of the building is estimated to be about $65 to $70 per square foot. The exterior of the building will be all brick with a shingle roof. Tip Nicholson mentioned the designing phase of the building and the involvement of the community, which was a couple of z pec 13 731 DEC 13 199 parents, a couple of school board members, Mrs. Haire, and architects. The plan did change as a result of that committee. Commissioner Madison questioned the area set aside for office space for the principal’s and staff’s offices. He felt the East Iredell school was over-built in the area of the offices and hoped that this would not happen again at this site, he said. The school officials said that state guidelines require square footage for administration. The plan has to be approved by state architects. Chairman Haire inquired if they thought the school would come in within budget? Dr. Register said he thought they would be pretty close. The place where they feel they are straining the budget is in the dining room and some of those areas that are being built for the future growth. Commissioner Johnson asked if they thought they had the kitchen, dining, etc., facilities large enough to accommodate the maximum number of children that will attend this school? Dr. Register said the areas were designed for 850 students. They are providing classrooms for 650. They went ahead and put in extra toilet facilities now to take care of the future growth. Commissioner Madison said he thinks it is wise to build the areas larger where they are discussing, but he thinks the area for the administrative offices is grossly over-designed. That may be what the State has required; but that’s too much space tied up for administrative use. He feels if the office space is there, the personnel will be put there. Commissioner Madison said if the school board has to come back for a budget amendment for this project, there would be one "no" vote as long as the large administrative area is there. He thinks they are building "frills." Dr. Nance said the administrative area is about 2/3 what the state recommended. The next meeting is set for January 24, 1994. Mr. Mashburn would let the school officials know if there is any information needed by the county commissioners. Questions were asked about the report from the Iredell-Statesville School Committee, it was decided they would ask the committee to come to the meeting on January 24th to give their final report. Dr. Register introduced William Barnard, their new finance officer. ADJOURN: Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:30 p.m. Clerk to the Board APPROVED: js Jol 732 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1994 The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Session on Tuesday evening, December 20, 1994 at 6:00 p.m. Those present for the meeting were: Sara K.

APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD FOSTER & MCLELLAND - COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT: Mr. Ronald McLelland, CPA with Foster & McLelland, came before the board to present the annual financial report, which consists of 187 pages and six audit opinions. He called the board members’ attention to one of the opinions rendered in the report, which he said was an unqualified opinion, the highest opinion they are permitted to express. Susan Blumenstein said they had a good, strong economic year with a 15.9% fund balance in the General Fund. The revenues exceed expenditures by $2.2 million. Revenues were 3.67% over budget and expenditures were 4.74% under budget. It shows that the commissioners made some good decisions and the department heads did a good job. She is very pleased that they did not have a management letter from the firm, which shows that every department head is working toward financial accountability, she said. Chairman Haire thanked Mr. McLelland and Mrs. Blumenstein and said the board would receive this for information. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS RELEASES AND REFUNDS FOR 1994: Mr. Weisner said he had i DEC 20 1994 733 nee 734 reviewed the lists that are being presented and they are in order.

The major change is the Aid to Families with Dependent Children-Emergency Assistance (AFDC~EA) Program which requires close review by staff to keep ap with current and anticipated services. On January 1, 1995 there will be a change in the program and the county will be drawing down more than $200,000. They do not have all their statistics available at this time, he said. There will be changes in the Medicaid program in January and they will reduce the number of workers in this area. Mr. Wall is recommending that two Medicaid IMCWII positions be reallocated to Social Worker II positions. Also, to comply with 740 State Standards, Mr. Wall was requesting one Data Entry II to be reclassified to one Social Worker III for Child Protective Services. The total cost of the reallocations will be $8,823. No additional county funds will be required in this year’s budget. They have lapsed salary funds in the budget already. Total amount of funds required for these changes is $7,940. (Corrected from $8,823 presented by Mr. Wall.) No additional funds will be required for this year as there are lapsed salary funds in the current budget. Commissioner Boone inquired if they could not classify the Social Workers as Iis rather than IIIs. Mr. Wall said the social workers who work with the child protective services have to be IIIs. Mr. Wall explained that the General Assembly last year approved the SSI recipients automatically receiving Medicaid, because 98% of the time they were eligible anyway, and it created a duplication of paperwork to turn around and qualify them for Medicaid. Commissioner Madison inquired if that meant that there would be an automatic increase of $16,000 in the 95-96 budget for this change. Mr. Wall said if the board approved this, it would provide a significant amount of revenue coming into the county to offset county funding, and the county should save significant money. Mr. Wall said there were 150 personnel slots at DSS at this time. Commissioner Madison asked about a work program that he had heard about in Davie County for recipients of AFDC. Mr. Wall was not aware of the program. MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to reallocate for these four positions as requested by DSS and the DSS Board. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. REQUEST FROM THE BOARD TO APPROVE PREPARATION OF CONTOUR MAPS FOR BLUEFIELD ROAD PARK: Mr. Carson Fisher, staff engineer, presented the quotations for flight and preparation of a 1" = 60’, 2’ contour topographic map for the Bluefield Road Recreation Park. He received four informal quotations, the lowest bid being from Triangle Aerial Mapping, Raleigh, for $3,250.00. Mr. Fisher recommended that the board authorize the staff to execute 4 contract with Triangle Aerial Mapping for this work. At Chairman Haire’s request, Mr. Fisher explained the lay of the land. Commissioner Boone questioned if it is necessary to do this sort of thing just to move dirt around. He asked if there would be less detail at a cheaper price. Mr. Fisher said the map is necessary to determine the amount of dirt that will be required for the site, and the less detail you have the less accuracy you will have as far as the calculations concerning the generation of dirt. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the low bid from Triangle Aerial Mapping at $3,250. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Mr. Mashburn advised the board that in response to a letter from the County, the County has received a letter from the North Carolina National Guard expressing an interest in doing the grading as a guard project. They are reviewing that project now and will send someone out to work with our engineer. At Chairman Haire’s request, Mr. Mashburn said there is $35,000 allocated in this year’s budget to go toward the park DEC 20 1994 741 DEC 20 1994 projects. The $3,250 will come from this amount. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES - REQUEST TO ADJUST CURRENT EMS CHARGES: Mr. Al Upton, EMS Director, sent letters to the county manager requesting an adjustment in charges for the EMS base fee and the oxygen charge. The county commissioners received copies of these letters. Mr. Upton gave a comparison of surrounding counties’ fees with Iredell’s. Medicare is authorizing more for oxygen that the County is currently charging. In answer to a question from Commissioner Boone, Mr. Upton said about 46% of the County’s trips are covered by Medicare. The remainder is paid for by other insurance and through personal payments. The collection rate is now 73%; with Medicare write-off the amount is 84%, Upton said. Commissioner Madison asked if there is any way to charge for a non-transport charge. Mr. Upton said it is very difficult sometimes to establish who made the call. All the EMS units are paramedic units; they are equipped to give advanced life support every time they go out. There are no basic units. Counties that have two different charges have vans that do convalescent or basic life support. The total operating budget cost per call is $307.52 as explained by Mr. Upton. This does not include depreciation and soft costs, only what is shown in the operating budget for the service. Actual cost is much more, Upton said. Commissioner Boone questioned the reason for the increase of the charges and said he would like to see some other options. MOTION from Commissioner Boone that the board postpone this and ask Mr. Upton to come up with other alternatives and report back at the nearest opportunity, perhaps have two different base rates and see how the numbers work out. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. SOLID WASTE - U. 8. TIRE RECYCLING AGREEMENT, Contract #94- 69: Mr. Ron Weatherman, Solid Waste Management Director, presented this contract to the board. The new contract with U. S. Tire Recycling has been reviewed by the county attorney and basically reduces the price from $72 per ton to $70 per ton. This company will place trailers throughout the county at companies that will generate at least 700 tires a month. The tires will not come into the landfill any more as U. S. Tire Recycling will pick up the tires at the dealers. The trucks will be required to come by the County’s scales and weigh. Mr. Weatherman says this is a great benefit to the tire dealers in the County. Mr. Pope said he found this contract in order. Mr. Mashburn explained the changes in the contract. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the contract with U. S. Tire Recycling Company, and authorize the chairman to sign on behalf of the county. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM DECEMBER 5, 1994 (9:00 A.M.), DECEMBER 5, 1994 (11:00 A.M.) AND DECEMBER 6, 1994: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the minutes as presented and corrected. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Ayes - O. 10 742 APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD (7:00 p.m.) CONSIDERATION OF PETITION TO RENAME A ROAD NAME ALREADY ASSIGNED BY THE COUNTY: Chairman Haire called for this appointment at this time and asked Mr. Lundy to review the matter with the board. Mr. Lundy briefly gave a history of the planning board’s action on this matter. The road was originally named Boger Farm Drive by the Planning Board Committee because of the dairy farm at the end of the road. Mr. John Gatton appeared before the board and asked that the road be named Gatton View Drive since their family had owned land in the area for a long period of time. The planning board approved Gatton View Drive and the county commissioners approved that name. Mr. Boger has been waiting since the first of 1994 because of the moratorium placed on changing the names of the road and has now petitioned to change this to Boger Farm Drive. Planning Board said since there were two families using the road and both asking that the road be named for their particular family, the planning board asked the applicants to pick a neutral name, and several were submitted. On 12/7/94 the planning board randomly picked the name Bullhead Drive, upon payment of the fee by the applicant, Mr. Boger, and made this recommendation to the county commissioners. Chairman Haire said this is not a public hearing but if there were persons who were present to wished to speak for three minutes for or against this matter to come forward. Carl Dean Boger has a dairy farm in the area and at this time read some facts which he also distributed to the board members. Robin Campbell lives on the road and hopes a more appropriate name other than Bullhead Drive would be chosen. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to name the road Boger Farm Drive at such time that Mr. Boger pays the fee to have the road name changed. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CONSIDERATION OF NAMING A ROAD NAME - FRANCES BLANCHE A. KNOX AND RUTH KNOX STONE: Mr. Lundy gave the background of the naming of this road and the recommendation of the planning board committee, which is Knox Haven Lane. No road sign fee will be charged. Chairman Haire asked if anyone present had a problem with Knox Haven Lane and wished to speak in this regard. The allotted time is for three minutes, she said. Ruth Knox Stone spoke. Commissioner Boone inquired if the name Knox Haven was agreeable with Mrs. Ruth Knox Stone, and she said it was. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the road name Knox Haven Lane aS recommended by the planning board and apparently is agreeable with all parties involved. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

Hager and located on Midway Road, SR 1554. The planning board granted preliminary approval on May 1, 1994 and staff found the Section II complies with minimum standards of the ordinance and planning board unanimously recommended final approval on 12/7/94. 11 UEC <0 1994 743 DEC 20 1994 MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the expansion of the Mobile Home Park, Section II, final approval, on Midway Road, SR 1554, as recommended by the planning board.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD: The board of commissioners received information regarding the by-laws and the ordinance of the recreation advisory board wherein it states that if a person misses three consecutive meetings and has no excused absence, the person’s slot on the advisory board will be declared vacant. Mr. Jim Martin and Mr. Terry Shinn have both missed more than three meetings and have not responded to inquiries about their lack of attendance. The advisory board recommends getting new members as replacements for these two persons. MOTION from Chairman Haire to declare two vacancies on the Recreation Advisory Board to be placed on the January 3, 1995 agenda for appointment. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

APPOINTMENT BOOKS UPDATED: Mrs. Fortner said the appointment books for the county commissioners would be upaated in the near future. NEW BUSINESS LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE: Commissioner Boone suggested that the board discuss legislative matters that will be brought up at the Legislative Conference on January 5th and 6th in Fayetteville. There are a number of things being recommended by the state group that Commissioner Boone said he did not agree with. Commissioner Boone’s suggestion to the board is that these matters be discussed at the briefing on January 3, 1995, at 5:00 p.m. MEETING WITH LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION: Commissioner Boone said since the General Assembly will convene on January 21, 1995, he thought it would be appropriate that the county commissioners entertain our delegation at an evening meal and share the county commissioners’ concerns on what they would like to see happen. Mr. Mashburn suggested a meeting for pre-budget discussions for direction on the budget as well as meeting with the legislative delegation. Commissioner Madison thought this should be two different meetings. The board consented to issue an invitation to the legislators for Thursday, January 12, 1995, 6:30 p.m., Julia’s Talley House, for dinner and meeting with the legislators, and the board would then meet at 3:00 p.m. at the second meeting in January (17th) for a pre-budget discussion and direction from the board.

All five members of the board and the manager are registered to attend. Mr. Mashburn is planning to take a van for everyone. Commissioner Johnson said he would need to come back earlier than the rest of the group, and would probably drive himself to the meeting. The joint City-County Meeting between Statesville and Iredell County has been planned for January 10th; however this is not satisfactory. Mr. Mashburn will make contact with Mr. Jack King and try to arrange for a meeting on January 30th, at 6:30 p.m. The Council of Governments meeting is set for Wednesday, January 11, 1995, Statesville Country Club.

No application has been submitted at this time; however, it is known that it will require a local match of 25%. Mr. Mashburn said he did not know all the details, but they will receive them before the application is made. 13 DEC 29 199% 745 DEC 20 1994 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES’ LEGISLATIVE GOALS MEETING: Mr. Mashburn announced this meeting in Washington March 3 - 7.

PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting to a public hearing that had been advertised for this time and place. ZONING - MRS. G. P. MORRISON HEIRS (THAD G. NORRISON, EXECUTOR OF ESTATE) PROPERTY, CASE #9411-4 (Postponed from 12/6/94 Board of Commissioners’ Meeting.) Mr. Lundy identified this property on the map and said that it was requested at the 12/6/94 meeting of the county commissioners that the hearing be adjourned until 1/3/95 because the developers would like to have more time to develop plans for sewer service for their project. The property is located on NC Highway 150W and has 1350’ of road frontage on McCrary Road. The proposed use is for RO, Multi- Family & Office, SC Shopping Center, Office, Restaurants, GB(CUD) Office Race Team Headquarters, etc., with the following uses being excluded from the GB classification: bottling works, bus repair and storage terminals, mobile home display lots, trucking terminals, transfer companies, wholesale storage of gasoline and oil products (including bottled gas and oxygen). The existing land use is currently vacant and agricultural. Planning board voted unanimously 9-0 on 11/2/94 to recommend approval of the rezoning request. The county commissioners tabled the public hearing on 12/6/94 at the request of the developer. At this time, Chairman Haire opened the floor for public comment, for or against the project. The following persons spoke: 1 748 Wanda Young, Director of Development, Wilson Properties. For the project. She introduced Ms. Desiree MacSorley, principal land planner for Design Resources Group, PA, who is designing the project. There are three different areas to the project, MacSorley said. Open space will be left as required by the Watershed Control Ordinance and Planning Ordinance, she said. Regarding the widening of Highway 150, the needed land for this additional corridor to the highway is available. There is a proposed continuous left-hand turn lane available at the front of the project on Highway 150. The property owners plan to build the left-turn lane if the project comes on before the road widening is completed. Drive-way cuts are to be held to a minimum on Highway 150. Water quality has been a concern. They have added some additional GB CUD uses that will be excluded from their development, which are: Circuses and carnivals, on a temporary basis, not to exceed seven (7) days. Dairy products processing and distributing facilities. Feed and seed stores. Freezer lockers and ice plants. Public works and public utility facilities, including service and storage yards. Tire recapping shops. Vending companies. Dick Brolin, representing the B.K. Barringer Engineering Company, addressed the sewer service for the project. Willis Engineers, Mooresville’s engineering firm has estimated the cost to be approximately $1 million. There are two options for sewer. One is through the current waste treatment plant that currently exists at River City at 150 Bridge and the second way was to provide sewer service from the Mooresville line, which terminates in front of Food Lion on 150 west of I-77. Both options will cost somewhere close to $1 million. This would pretty well accommodate growth for the next five to fifteen years, Brolin said. The chief characteristic about the Mooresville system is that without water you cannot have sewer. The Mooresville sewer system would bring both water and sewer capability to the same intersection. Because of that reason, the Barringer firm is recommending the Mooresville option as the best avenue as far as cost effectiveness for this project, Brolin said. Chairman Haire inquired if the Mooresville Town Board is in agreement with the request for water and sewer from the Town? Mr. Brolin said he understood that Mooresville is considering the request. They have discussed this with Willis Engineering, Town of Mooresville’s engineering firm, who furnished them with an estimate of the cost. Wanda Young. Said they tried to take something that is already designed and planned in the county’s land development plan as a commercial use and use it the best aesthetically as well as functionally. They have talked to DOT about curb cuts; they have talked to the water quality people and the department of natural resources concerning sewer. She believes they have come up with the best possible use at this point in time, she said. David Boone inquired about a 100’ buffer on the south side. Would they be willing to make that a part of the conditions? Wanda Young. Said they would be willing to do that. Because of where the property is in the watershed, there will only be 30 JAN 3 1995 749 JAN 3 1995 acres of the 62 acres developed, she said. Therefore, there is no problem with leaving the buffer zone, Young said. David Boone inquired about the race shop and the noise that might be involved. He asked if there were any particular measures being taken to abate noise if a race shop is located there? Wanda Young said she did not know exactly what the procedures are for noise abatement. If that is a concern, they are proposing to find out what the procedures for noise abatement are and actually write those procedures into the covenants and restrictions on the property. David Boone said the only condition he could think of specifically would be to have the garage doors facing the interior of the property. David Boone inquired about the proposed R-O rezoning. He asked about the number of dwelling units (apartments). Ms. Young said she is proposing somewhere between 100 to 120. They are going to ask for 120 in that area. This area of the county is exceedingly low in inventory in the area of upscale apartments, she said. The entire development will be aesthetically the same, Young said, so passersby will not be able to distinguish apartments from other dwellings. Commissioner Boone inquired about the density for traffic and schools. Ms. Young said the Department of Transportation is proposing a five-lane road. If DOT requires them to put in a turn lane, the developers will do that. Ms. Young said she did not think she could address the school system; however, she knew that Crescent is putting in developments all around. Commissioner Boone asked Ms. Young if she would be willing to accept less than 120 apartment units. Ms. Young said she would rather not. Commissioner Boone inquired about the high density option. Mr. Lundy said the county commissioners would have to approve this under the Watershed Ordinance, which will be at some future date. Commissioner Boone thought it would be a good development and had no problem with anything except the R-O. He asked if the developer would be willing to accept approval of the two commercial zones and postpone the RO? Or had she rather do it all at once? Ms. Young said she would like to discuss it with her other representatives who are present. Desiree MacSorley said 120 units, in her opinion, is a very small project. Typically they would see developments of 180 units being small. The range is up to 300 units. If you get much lower than 120 units, the quality of the development suffers because the economics of it is such that you cannot have certain amenities in the project, she said. She said the sewer will cost in excess of $1 million and Ms. Young will need to be able to build out the project as economically feasible as possible. Considering the constraints of the watershed, that is very difficult, MacSorley wen The developers would like to see the apartments stay at 120 units. Commissioner Johnson inquired about the plans with the City of Mooresville for sewage service. MacSorley said at this time there is no guarantee from Mooresville; they are studying the request. Dick Brolin said they have delivered the drawings to the Town of Mooresville. Mooresville has not taken an official action on 3 whether or not they will provide services. They have asked their consulting engineers, Willis Engineering Company, to evaluate the demands on the line. Brolin feels optimistic about the sewage service with Mooresville. Commissioner Johnson asked about the time frame on the project. Brolin said the cost of the sewer will be borne by the private developer. Mooresville’s policy is that if the lines are extended, Mooresville will take it over. Brolin said Thomas Wilson Properties is willing to "foot the bill." He pointed out some other development that is taking place in the area that would be served by the sewer line and they have indicated a willingness to help bear some of the cost of extending the line. Wanda Young. The time frame is to get started on the closest corner, which is the residential office, sometime in late summer. It depends upon how soon they can get the sewer. They have a back- up plan besides the City of Mooresville. They will have to have sewer. The prospect of getting water along with the sewer from the Town of Mooresville makes the plan of getting the services from the Town of Mooresville the most feasible plan, Young said. Chairman Haire asked for other questions and/or comments. There were none. Chairman Haire closed the public hearing. MRS. G. P. MORRISON HEIRS (THAD G. MORRISON, EXECUTOR OF ESTATE) PROPERTY, CASE 39411-4: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the rezoning as requested and recommended by the planning board with one additional Conditional Use being placed on the property, and that being the placement of a 100’ buffer on the south side of the property, which the developers have said they would accept, and also the other conditional used on the GB CUD, which are: The following uses are being excluded: bottling works bus repair and storage terminals mobile home display lots trucking terminals, transfer companies wholesale storage of gasoline and oil products (including bottled gas and oxygen) circuses and carnivals, on a temporary basis, not to exceed seven (7) days dairy products processing and distributing facilities feed and seed stores freezer lockers and ice plans public works and public utility facilities, including service and storage yards tire recapping shops vending companies Substitute MOTION from Commissioner Boone that an additional condition in the GB CUD zone be that any race shops have restrictive covenants that will provide reasonable noise abatement measures, and that any open garage doors be turned so as to face away from the border of the property. Secondly, that the proposed R-O zone be R-O CUD, the condition being that there not be in excess of 120 dwelling units built in that area. Commissioner Madison said he would incorporate the substitute motion as a part of his motion. This property is located at the southeast corner of NC Highway 150W and McCrary Road, more specifically identified as Lot 1, Block C, of Iredell County Tax Map 2P. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. a JAN © 3 1995 701 JAN 3 1995 Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting to Public Hearing. W. N. ALEXANDER FARM SUBDIVISION PROPERTY OWNERS CASE #9412-1 (NON-OWNER PETITION WAS APPROVED BY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON 11/1/94.): Mr. Lundy discussed the request from several property owners in the W. N. Alexander Farm Subdivision requesting their property be rezoned from RA to R-20, Single Family Residential District. The property is located on Alpine Circle off SR 1005, Old Mountain Road. The planning board unanimously found the non-owner petition appropriate on 10/5/94 and the board of county commissioners approved the appropriateness of the non-owner petition on 11/1/94. On 12/7/94, the planning board recommended approval of the rezoning to the county commissioners. Mr. Lundy said it is in order for the county commissioners to hear the rezoning request at this time. Jerry Keys, resident of the W. N. Alexander Subdivision, stated that 22 of the 25 property owners signed the original petition to have the rezoning. He asked that those property owners stand. They want to maintain the integrity and original design of their neighborhood which is for R-20. Chairman Haire asked if anyone else wished to speak or had questions. No one else spoke. Chairman Haire closed the public hearing. Commissioner Madison asked to be excused from voting on this matter because of a conflict of interest. MOTION from Chairman Haire to excuse Mr. Madison from voting on this issue because of a conflict of interest. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0. W. N.

MARTIN, AGENT), CASE 39412-2: Mr. Lundy identified this property and said the owners wish to rezone a portion of the property from RA to NB for the proposed use of a convenience store with self-service gasoline. The property is located on Highway 90 at Lackey Farm Road. Surrounding land use is residential and some vacant. Staff comments that the majority of this lot is already zoned HB and to rezone the remainder should have little or no impact on the property and staff recommends approval. Planning Board also recommends approval to the county commissioners. Jerry Benfield spoke. Her mother owns the land next to this property and she wants to understand if the land is zoned business, is it just hers or is it everybody’s? They don’t want a convenience store, she said. Commissioner Haire said it will be just the property Mr. Lundy described (belonging to Sadie Bell C. Fisher). Commissioner Boone said it was his understanding that everything on that side of the road is zoned business. Mr. Lundy said Mr. Boone is correct. Jerry Benfield said she would like it left farm land. 702 Lucy McCormick: Would be directly across from the proposed new business. She lives on Lackey Farm Road. She would prefer not to have the convenience store there. Jerry Benfield said they were close to a church and had enough hobos out there. A convenience store is the same as a beer joint, Benfield said. Commissioner Madison asked questions about the zoning line. Mr. Lundy answered his question. Lucy McCormick said it was going to be very dangerous. She has a water business on Highway 90. She has Piedmont Construction and Water Company. They have a tavern directly across from their water business, she said. Commissioner Boone inquired if would be helpful if they put a conditional use that any ABC permit be for off-premise consumption only? No on-premise alcohol. Mrs. McCormick said whichever way, she is going to get the trash and junk from them, and they are going to be walking across her property constantly. Jewel Jordan. Has a friend that lives by the Little Market Basket that used to be the Quick Stop. People come into her friend’s yard, sit on her picnic table, eat food and drink beer. They come through her yard all the time and knock on her windows and scare her. They have radios blaring and use profanity and they don’t want it in the community. Carter Payne. Lois Payne has property not directly adjoining this but for practical purposes will be influenced by the use of this property. The area has traditionally be Agricultural Residential. They don’t need a nuisance in the community and more traffic. He does not think they need another convenience store. Wayne Martin. He is available to answer questions the board has. They operate 14 stores in Iredell County and he does not think you can categorize any of his stores as beer joints. They do the best to abide by all the ABC laws, he said. Commissioner Johnson asked where some of his stores were now located. Mr. Martin named the locations in Iredell County. Commissioner Johnson asked if it is fair to say that a lot of the problems are determined by the character of the people in the neighborhood than by the operation of the business itself? Mr. Martin said the neighborhood can have an influence on it, but it is determined just as much by the way the operation is run. Commissioner Stewart inquired if they have enough space if it is not rezoned. Mr. Martin spoke about how he would place the pumps and the structures on the property. He said it would be really jammed upon the lot. Rick Cashion, who is to be the operator of the store, spoke. He hopes to be there to oversee the operation most of the time, he said. He said it was not his intention to have a "beer joint and tavern". He plans to take great pride in the establishment, he said. There were no other comments for or against the rezoning request. Chairman Haire closed the public hearing. JAN: 3 1995 JAN 3 1998 SADIE BELL C. FISHER PROPERTY, CASE 9412-2: MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the rezoning from RA to NB as recommended by the planning board. This property is located on Lackey Farm Road at NC Highway 90, and is more specifically jdentified as a portion of Lot 11, Block B, of Iredell County Tax Map 9J. VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Haire/Madison/Johnson) Noes - 2 (Stewart/Boone) APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD RON LAMBERT, FORMER DEPUTY WITH THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT: Mr. Ron Lambert requested the county change its policy regarding vacation pay. He was not re-sworn as a4 deputy at the change of the sheriff’s position the first of December. He had approximately 292 hours of vacation and was given a three-day notice that he did not have a job. He had intended to take some vacation time the rest of the year, but it did not work out. He said there was no opportunity for him to take the vacation. He thinks this should be addressed for the future. Mr. Mashburn said the records indicate the Mr. Lambert has a balance of 58.23 hours over and above the 240 hours for which he can be paid if the board chooses to pay the extra vacation time. Commissioner Johnson inquired about the policy on vacation days accumulation. Mr. Mashburn explained the policy. The maximum amount a person can receive payment for is 240 hours or 30 days. Mr. Mashburn said there were six persons who have the same situation, which would cost $3,422.02 to pay all of the employees this vacation time, he said. Chairman Haire inquired if it would be necessary to amend the personnel policy. Mr. Mashburn said it was his opinion is that the cleanest way to handle this change would be to amend the ordinance because he did not think the ordinance anticipated this circumstance. Commissioner Madison said he had a concern because of the State Statutes governing the sheriff’s position insofar as keeping the deputies on in the election and change of a sheriff. He said he had difficulty in changing the policy to accommodate four or five people when there are over 500 county employees. Mr. Lambert said there has never been this type of turnover before in the sheriff’s department, and he has been with the county over fourteen years. Commissioner Boone said the personnel policy has to be the same with everybody. He had problems with changing the policy just to accommodate five or six people. Other board members expressed concerns but stated these were hazards connected with the jobs at the sheriff’s office. MOTION from Commissioner Johnson that the request for the vacation days from the former sheriff’s employee, Mr. Ron Lambert, be denied. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. MOODY WHITE - CONCERNING METHOD OF TAX EVALUATION: Mr. White came before the board to discuss his concern that the county commissioners were hiring other people to evaluate the property during an evaluation and not doing it themselves. He is not happy with the evaluation procedure. 704 ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS EMS FEES (CONTINUED FROM 12/20/94): Mr. Al Upton, EMS Director, gave additional information regarding the adjustment of the EMS fees. At this time he gave three options, which were: (1) No change. (2) Eliminate oxygen fee and/or mileage charge and include the cost into the base charge. (3) Establish a Basic (BLS) charge in addition to the current ALS charge. Based on 8000 calls a year, it currently costs the county $238.67 per call, Upton said. Our charges are considerably below that at $175.00. In order to keep pace with charges Medicaid allows, the fees have been adjusted. The county will have to subsidize the fee at a higher rate if the fees are not adjusted. Only about 1 or 2 percent do not have insurance to cover ambulance cost. There is a payment plan for those who cannot afford to pay all the cost at one time. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to accept Mr. Upton’s recommendation of $225 per trip for the Advanced Life Support Charge (ALS) (all calls); $125 per trip for out-of-county return trips with return trip the same day; $20 oxygen fee; and reinstate the $3 per mile for out-of-county mileage. Mr. Upton said it takes Medicaid almost a year to recognize changes in the fee charge. Commissioner Boone inquired if the charge for a call without ALS would remain what it is now. Commissioner Madison said there is no separate charge for BLS. VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Boone). LETTER OF CREDIT REDUCTION - OAK HARBOR (#8B90734): Mr. Lundy presented this request for a reduction of an irrevocable Letter of Credit from First Citizens Bank in the amount of $167,840 to $102,000 with a new expiration date of 12/31/95. H. Edward and Frances S. Knox have requested a reduction in the original Letter of Credit. The L/C is to insure completion of street improvements, utilities, and engineering costs of the project. MOTION to reduce the Letter of Credit as proposed and recommended by the planning staff. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS FROM OTHER COUNTIES: There was no interest in considering any of the resolutions presented. RESOLUTION FROM DAVID BOONE FOR CONSIDERATION: Mr. Boone discussed his resolution. He thought the Iredell County Commissioners should adopt their own goals which are sometime different from the NCACC. Mr. Boone said he tried to frame goals that would reflect the county commissioners’ general philosophy and yet not be specific, because they do not know what bills will be introduced. MOTION from Commissioner Boone to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the people have made it clear that they want lower taxes and a smaller, less intrusive, less expensive government; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the N. C. Association of County Commissioners on November 29, 1994 adopted 55 Legislative Goals, many of which call for additional spending or the authority to levy more taxes; and WHEREAS, we disagree with many of these goals, and feel that the majority of Iredell citizens would likewise disagree; and WHEREAS, we believe it proper to adopt Legislative Goals we JAN 3 1995 790 JAN” 3 1996 #96 feel to be more in touch with the wishes of the people; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that we, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners, do hereby adopt the following Legislative Goals for consideration by the General Assembly: (1) Cut taxes, reduce spending, and repeal or modify unnecessary regulations. (2) Oppose any additional unfunded mandates; repeal or reduce those that exist. (3) Support such measures as the state can legally adopt to remove able-bodied persons from the welfare rolls. (4) Greatly reduce the state school bureaucracy; limit the term of superintendents’ contracts to no more than one year; reduce state regulations and put more control in the hands of parents, teachers, and local school boards. Support measures to give parents more choice in their child’s education. IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

Those present for the meeting were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Steve Johnson Douglas A. Madison, Jr. Alice M. Stewart Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Chairman Haire called the meeting to order following the dinner. Commissioner Madison said he hoped that the legislators would be able to get rid of a lot of government down there and hold the school boards accountable for doing the things they need to be doing. Representative Brawley said they hoped to have more flexibility for the spending in the classrooms and more responsibility for the local boards of education. There was discussion about changing the positions of the Raleigh leadership in the public school system. They would like to see a 12-member board appointed by the Governor and that 12-member board would hire a state superintendent. Commissioner Boone thought the terms of the superintendent’s contract should be limited. He thought the years under contract should be lowered. Commissioner Madison said public education in North Carolina is 48th or 49th in the country, and we are striving in Iredell County to get to the state average. We have a problem, he said. We have got to have some competition in the school system. He mentioned private schools and a voucher system. He thinks the monopoly education held by the state system is putting out "junk." Dr. Forrester mentioned the powerful NCAE and its affiliation with the AFL/CIO. Representative Mitchell said they were working to get liability insurance for the teachers. The teachers now receive this insurance through the NCAE. If they could get this insurance from another source, it might make a difference in the NCAE membership, Mitchell thinks. Commissioner Stewart brought up the criteria for purchasing vans for the elderly. Presently they can only purchase the large vans which are not always needed and are not the most economical when they are used for only a few passengers. Not all of the vans are fitted with the handicapped facilities. Smaller vans would sometimes be put to better use. Commissioner Stewart also discussed recommendations from the Child Protection Team regarding adoption procedures. They also discussed the screening process. abe " SAN 1% 149 799 JAN 15 1995 wise Dr. Forrester inquired about boarding schools for the homeless children. Representative Brawley mentioned speeding up the process. He compared the length of time required by the state as a comparison with the Florence Crittenton home in Charlotte. The four legislators unanimously voted to elect Robert Brawley as the chairman of the Iredell County delegation and that Robert Brawley would be calling the county manager with questions concerning legislation in Raleigh from time to time. Commissioner Boone again discussed the schools and the need for competition in schools to encourage higher quality of education. He suggested a $2,000 tuition allowance for private schools or home schooling. Commissioner Boone mentioned the Jail Standards and the funding that is now available. He would like to see these funds made available for construction and renovation of jails instead of just for programs. Commissioner Madison mentioned private-public partnership ventures for housing non-violent prisoners. He is opposed to the requirement of television for prisoners. Commissioner Boone mentioned the WIC Program. The State is giving the counties grants to encourage more participation in this program. He questioned the advisability of these grants. One of the State legislators brought out that under the Contract with America, some of these programs are to be consolidated into a block grant for administration at the local level. WIC is one of these programs to be included in that Block Grant. Joel Mashburn asked about the Intangible Tax funds which represent about $1.2 million in revenues to [Iredell County. Senator Smith said they plan to vote to abolish the Intangible Tax and the revenue to the counties is to be phased out over a three- year period. Dr. Forrester thought the State should continue to pay these funds to the counties after the abolishment of the tax. Commissioner Madison inquired about the changes of rules in the environmental health area at the state level, especially with soils containing saprolite. This is a problem that has been encountered by local people in Iredell County as well as surrounding counties, Madison said. Commissioner Johnson discussed the liberal laws concerning abortion and asked that the laws be restricted. Commissioner Madison asked that the legislators remember the people back up here when they are down there in Raleigh. Representative Brawly brought up the rule regarding the requirement of 2/3 of the legislature to enact a new tax. Since there was no more discussion, Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 8:00 p.m. on her motion. 4) 2 f A bree rl, Lr AS Clerk to the Board APPROVED; / 7/, GL IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES JANUARY 17, 1995 - 3:00 p.m. The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, in the South Wing Conference Roon, Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street, Statesville, NC.

Stewart Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Brett Weisner, Tax Assessor Bill Mashburn, Health Director Others present: Bill Duston, Centralina Council of Gov’ts Planning Director CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Haire DISCUSSION OF FY 1995-96 BUDGET PLANS: Mr. Joel Mashburn said he is planning to submit the budget packages to the department heads the early part of February. He wanted to ask the board at this time if there were any areas in the budget that they would like to see funding increased or decreased. Commissioner Madison said he did not want to see the tax rate go up. It would not hurt any to see it go down, he said. If the tax base grows enough to see it come down, he would be in favor of it, he said. The two areas he is interested in seeing Capital monies spent are in the construction of a new jail and in the recreation department for the park in the south end of the county. There was a discussion of a five-year plan, a one-year plan, and a two-year plan. There was also a discussion of Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB). Commissioner Stewart said before many changes can be made in some of the mandated programs, it will require changes in some of the federal laws. Commissioner Madison said he wanted to see some of the larger departments scrutinized, but he was not necessarily talking about cutting their funding. Commissioner Boone mentioned a formula the State House is considering which is to hold the Current Expense to the rate of inflation with the exception of mandated items and capital projects. He also suggested that staff should keep from adding more personnel if possible. There was a discussion with having the Health Department do the ZBB and just have one department on the ZBB this year. A question was asked about the difference in the number of employees in Iredell County’s DSS and Rowan County’s department. They have, according to their chairman, about 105. Iredell County has about 150. There was a discussion about the loss of the Intangible Tax from the State and also sales and property taxes. Commissioner Mattison asked that the county manager look at the (SAN 17 1995 761 JAN 17 1995 departments in the area of contracting out, especially in the smaller departments like data processing, purchasing, and ECOM. Commissioner Boone said look at three things: 1. Proper function of the department. 2. Would it be more efficient if it is contracted out? For example the janitorial service is now contracted out. 3. If the function is done in house, is it being done more efficiently. It was brought up that the new sheriff has been discussing having the ECOM under his department. The question of whether it will continue under the county manager or under the sheriff will need to be answered. Mr. Mashburn said the county is now looking at about $100 million increase in the tax base. This includes Ralston-Purina who is planning to put a new feed plant here. Other departments considered for the ZBB for the first year are to combine tax collector and tax assessor into one department and using this as the ZBB model. Animal Control was also mentioned, because that department has grown from 1 to 11 people. The board finally settled on the ZBB plan for Tax Assessor and Tax Collector and a plan to merge the two departments. Mr. Mashburn reviewed the board’s wishes for the budget, which are: Capital Improvements Recreation Department - park in South Iredell Jail Zero Based Budgeting for tax supervisor and tax collector with the organizational component to combine the two departments. Goal to reduce the tax rates. There is expected to be a 5% to 7% increase in the base through the revaluation process and another 3 to 4% natural growth in the tax rate. There is also a good fund balance of 16%. Board members said it is not known what the school boards will be requesting for capital funding this year. The board requested that increased spending be no more than the inflation rate in current expense. There should not be any new personnel or keep it at a minimun. It is anticipated that Iredell County’s portion of the joint jail project with Catawba County will be $5 to $6 million. It was also mentioned that a FAX machine for each commissioner’s office would be helpful. Mr. Mashburn is to look into this matter. Since there was not more discussion, Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 4:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. for the agenda briefing. 5:00 p.m. 762 Chairman Haire called the meeting to order and the adjustment of the agenda was discussed. The sanitarian position of the agenda was delayed until 2/5/97. Bill Duston discussed the public hearing on the rezoning request from Mitch Franklin, Lowe’s Home Centers, Inc., agent for Virginia Allison property and Wade A. and Joyce Church. Mr. Bill Mashburn and Ms. Beth Pope discussed the WIC program with the board. Their request is for a part-time nutritionist in order to handle the additional caseload. This is an outreach project that is being paid for by the state. Ms. Pope said they have be told they are not serving enough of the Medicaid recipients. The meeting adjourned at 5:45 until 7:00 p.m. in the County Commissioners’ Meeting Room. he Clerk to the Board j APPROVED: — / S/ 9S JAN 1 08 763 JAN 1 99% IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MINUTES JANUARY 17, 1995 - REGULAR MEETING The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met in Regular Session on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, at 7:00 p.m. Those present for the meeting were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Stephen D. Johnson C. Douglas Madison, Jr. Alice M. Stewart Others present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board Bill Duston, Planner for Centralina Council of Governments, representing Iredell County in the rezoning matter. Brent Weisner, Tax Assessor Jerry Lundy, Director of Planning & Development (present after the rezoning matter was concluded) Beth Pope, Allied Health Director CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Haire INVOCATION: The Reverend Norman Dudley, Pastor Mt. Nebo Baptist Church Harmony, NC PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ADJUSTMENT OF THE AGENDA: Chairman Haire made a motion to adjust the agenda as recommended by the county manager. The vote was unanimously approved by the board. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Haire opened the public hearing that had been advertised for this time and place. BILL DUSTON, REPRESENTING THE COUNTY IN THIS ZONING MATTER: Chairman Haire said Bill Duston, planning director with Centralina Council of Governments, is in charge of the staff work for this rezoning request. The reason Mr. Duston is in charge is because of the perceived conflict of interest of the County staff members. Mr. William Allison is related to the Allison property owners, and Mr. Jerry Lundy lives in the area where the rezoning is being requested. REZONING REQUEST - MITCHELL FRANKLIN (LOWE’S HOME CENTERS, INC.) CASE #9412-3 AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE IREDELL COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Mr. Duston said the planning board had recommended on January 4, 1995 that both these matters be approved by the Iredell County Board of Commissioners. This vote was a 8-1 majority vote. One member was excused (F. Deaton). The recommendation for approval of this rezoning request was submitted with the following conditional uses: 1. The placement of a berm along the periphery of the property as shown on the attached site plan. This berm will be land- scaped as noted. 2. The entrance to the site will be limited to Tomlin Mill Road. 3. Building set backs for this project will be a minimum of 100’. 4. The property will be utilized as a warehouse distribution facility (along with customary accessory uses.) Additional conditions were added as follows: 1. The berm shall be grassed or planted with other ground materials in sufficient quantity to prevent soil erosion. 2. No part of the berm shall be kept as bare soil. 3. All trees and ground cover shall be of a variety normally expected to thrive in this area. All dead or diseased trees shall be promptly removed and replaced by Lowe’s. Chairman Haire recognized Hugh West, attorney for Lowe’s. Mr. West recognized Mr. Mitch Franklin who will present to the board and others present exactly what Lowe’s proposes to build on this site. Mr. Mitch Franklin, Lowe’s. Mr. Franklin showed a video of the warehouse they have developed in Indiana, which is similar to what they propose to do in Iredell County. The facility in North Carolina is larger than the one built in North Vernon, IN, Franklin said. The proposed Iredell County site is one million square feet. The Indiana site is 675,000 s.f. Mr. Franklin answered questions that have come up during the process of rezoning: 1. Environmental - Storm water pond proposed on the site plan. The pond is not designed at this date, but will be a part of the final construction plans and engineering documents. The facility will be designed for a proposed 50-year storm. They are considering water quality at the same time. There are no by- products or waste products coming from this facility, Mr. Franklin said. The only contaminants will be dripping of oils and fluids and trucks that will be coming in and out of the facility. To accommodate those issues, Lowe’s proposes to do a water quality that will be included in the storm water facility. He described the method of treatment for the storm water that will be used prior to releasing the water into the creek. 2. Outdoor PA systems. Mr. Franklin said there will be no outdoor PA systems at this facility. 3. Fencing. A chain link is proposed around the secured portion of the project. Where the truck access is and where the employees park, a split rail fence is proposed. They thought this split rail fence would be more appealing. 4. Landscaping. Along the entrance drive for about 2000’. 5. Berm Landscaping. Have had input as recently as tonight that they are more inclined to not see the 6’ berm that is proposed. Lowe’s will leave that up to the commissioners. They don’t have any problem with the change. 6. Traffic. One of the reasons for picking this site was the access to I-77. The capacity for highways along Tomlin Mill Road is capable of handling more traffic than Lowe’s can generate, according to the figures they have received from DOT. They are expecting 100 trucks in and 100 trucks out in a day’s time. Based on the DOT numbers, there is more than adequate capacity for that, Franklin said. Chairman Haire inquired if the county commissioners had any questions to ask Mr. Franklin. There were no questions. Chairman Haire opened the floor for the public speakers and gave the rules for speaking. Comments were limited to three minutes. 1. Ray Dowdle, 841 Tomlin Mill Road.

Chairman Haire closed the meeting at 9:05 p.m. REGULAR MEETING REZONING REQUEST; MITCH FRANKLIN, (LOWE’S HOME CENTERS, INC.) AGENT FOR VIRGINIA A. AND WADE A. AND JOYCE CHURCH PROPERTY, CASE #9412-2: Mr. Bill Duston informed the board that a valid protest petition is in effect that will require 3/4 (i.e. four of the five county commissioners) of the board to vote in favor of the rezoning request in order for it to pass. Commissioner Madison said he came to the meeting with an open mind and looked for a valid reason to turn down the request for rezoning and saw none. He said he had a deep respect for property owners’ rights. MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the proposed amendment to the Land Development Plan for this property as was proposed and recommended to the county commissioners by the planning board. Commissioner Boone said he would like to make some comments during the discussion. He felt he had an obligation to explain his reasons for voting. He has listened to both sides of the issue and tried to evaluate the statements. He has been out to look at the site. He is concerned about the use of the farmland. He thinks the realistic choice is they will come here or go to another county. Commissioner Boone said he thought there will he other industries wanting to come to this interstate exit whether or not Lowe’s comes there. Lowe’s will provide jobs. Even though we now have full employment, from time to time we experience plant closings and need to continue to provide jobs for these closing industries, Boone said. He thinks we have a lot more people going to other counties to work than we have people coming to work in Iredell County from other counties. With the conditional uses placed on the zoning, no one can come in and operate anything but a warehouse. This will be a clean and pollution-free environment, Boone said. The one significant bad impact on the neighborhood Boone thought would be the increase in traffic on Tomlin Mill Road over to I-77. Commissioner Johnson made comments concerning his vote and his interest in having industry in the county. He said he had come to the meeting with an open mind on the rezoning matter. He had listened to all the remarks made during the public hearing and saw no reason not to vote for the Lowe’s project rezoning. He could see that a facility requiring this much area could not go into an industrial park. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS OUR REGION TOMORROW: Mr. Bill Duston, representing Centralina Council of Governments, spoke at this time to give the board an overview of the COG’s strategic planning process. There are over 80 persons on the steering committee. R. B. Sloan and Jeff McKay represented Iredell County on this steering committee. There were three task forces recommended for studying areas of concern. The committee saw as the primary asset the Charlotte Regional Airport. Crime, low educational skills, and the wide gap between the region’s developing areas and those that are not developing, were seen as the negatives in the region. The three issues to be addressed by the three task forces are: 1. Work Force Preparation. 2. Infrastructure. 3. Cohesiveness and Collaborative action among jurisdictions. Missions statements and goals have been set by the steering committee. The next step is that each of the counties should appoint one member to each of the three above-listed task forces. They need to be made by March. The first meeting is in April (April 27, 1995). Chairman Haire received this for information on behalf of the board. These three appointments will be announced later in the meeting. 768 RECOGNITION OF FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN ATTENDANCE AT THIS MEETING: Chairman Haire recognized R. B. Sloan, Jr., Chairman of the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce; NC Representative Frank Mitchell, District 42; and Diane Hamby, all former county commissioners of Iredell County. ADDITIONAL WIC MONEY FOR IREDELL COUNTY: Ms. Beth Pope, Allied Health Director, represented the health department in this matter. Seventy present of the caseload of Medicaid recipients should be receiving WIC. They are currently serving 59%. The additional funds will be used to increase service hours, service days and to do outreach in housing projects. Commissioner Johnson asked for additional explanation on the source of the funds. Ms. Pope explained that it is a Cost Containment Program. Formula companies have to bid for this project and whoever gives the lowest price gets the contract. Weythe Laboratories was low bidder with the SMA formula. The formula company will be giving the state rebate money based on this process, Pope explained. MOTION from Commissioner Johnson not to accept the WIC money. Commissioner Boone said he had philosophical problem with accepting the money. Ms. Pope said most of these are working poor with children. They do not draw AFDC or Medicaid. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.

Mt i feta “@ierk to the Board of, ‘ APPROVED: A) 7) ¢os 13 IREDELL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 24, 1995 MINUTES The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met with the Iredell-Statesville School Board on Tuesday, January 24, 1995, at 7:00 p.m., Mulberry Street School Building, Statesville, NC. County Commissioners present were: Sara K. Haire, Chairman David A. Boone, Vice Chairman Stephen D. Johnson C. Douglas Madison, Jr. Absent: Alice M. Stewart Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board The meeting was called to order by Mr. Long, chairman of the I-S School Board, who gave the invocation and asked Dr. Register to preside. Dr. Register welcomed everyone to Mulberry. He has some school program directors who were present to help with the program for the evening. He said there have been discussions on facilities and funding, and tonight they would take a different approach and talk about the children that are served and how the service has changed, and a little about how they are responding to the changing needs of the children. In 1950 they had about 12,000 students in the county, of which 82% were white and 18% were non-white. The schools were segregated. There were 113 members in the Boys Corn Club. There were 105 members in the Girls Canning Club. By 1970 17% of the mothers worked outside the home. High school drop-out rates were not recorded accurately in 1970, but they know that 38% of the students enrolled in the fifth grade did not remain in the schools until graduation. In 1974 services for exceptional children were expanded. There were 695 students identified as exceptional children in the school system, which was about 5% of the student population. Today there are 14,000 students in the school systen. Twenty-three percent of the students are black. There are 95 Asian students in the system and 160 Hispanic students at the last count. This number is rising very quickly. Many of these students are non- English speaking when they enroll in the school system. The exceptional children population has greatly boomed since 1974. Today 17% of the total population is identified as exceptional children. There are seventeen categories of exceptionality. Some of the exceptional children are in school today that were not in school in 1974, Register said. Some categories are autistic children and several other categories. In 1994 the schools conducted a survey of the population. The statistics from the study shows that 33% of the school system’s parents are divorced. 80.2% work outside the home now. 33% of the parents did not finish high school. This survey was conducted on grades 6 through 12 as a random sample survey, scientifically done. 54% of the parents talk with children on a regular basis about school. That is very low, Dr. Register said. Only 27% attend school meetings, which includes parent conferences and PTA meetings, etc. The survey shows other behavior patterns also. About 29% of the students spend 6 hours or more a week on home work. 45% of the students watch television three hours a day or more. 64% of the Jan ¢ 409 JAN 2 4 1995 children in grades 6 - 12 are home alone two or more hours a day. 55% of the juniors report working 11 or more hours a week and 65% of the seniors work 11 or more hours a week. Dr. Register said when you look at the hours the students work and the hours they watch tv and the little time spent on homework, that points out some of the differences in what we are working with today. All students in grades 6 - 12, 69% report alcohol use at least once. 86% of the seniors report use of alcohol at least once. 27% of the seniors have participated in binge drinking in the last two weeks. Dr. Register reported a statistic they received in Raleigh today, which is that 80% of the people in prison are there for alcoholic or drug-related problems. This is a significant problem in Iredell County, he said. Seniors reporting having been sexually active is 72% at least once and 61% four more times. The most significant problems among Iredell County youth are 1. Sexual abuse (much higher than the national norms at all grade levels) (Three times higher for sixth graders and two times higher for eighth and twelfth graders than national norms. ) 2. Students in grades 7 - 9 have three times greater risk indicators over the national norm. Those risk behaviors are: 1. Sexually active 2. Having ridden with a drinking driver in the last two weeks 3. Having participated in drinking in the last 2 weeks. Good news that came out of the survey is what made a positive impact on children, which are: 1. If a student is raised in a positive family life, then the student will be much less at risk. 2. If parents were actively involved in the children’s school. There are about 14 positives listed in the report, Register said. The needs of the children today are significantly different from what they were in 1950 or just ten years ago. The school officials’ primary goal is to improve academic achievement of the schools. Dr. Register introduced Pam Reich who is a second grade teacher at Northview Elementary. Mrs. Reich started teaching in 1975 at 21 years ago, and things are very different now. There is a difference in the students’ respect of teachers and education today, she said. Teachers must have more innovative and creative methods to teach students. It is very hard to talk about. Mrs. Reich outlined her teaching strategy for her class. Pat Campbell is a kindergarten-language skills teacher at Pressly. She teaches a kindergarten Chapter I program. She has become alarmed that children are coming to school knowing less and less about children’s literature. Some of the children have never heard = some of the children’s stories that are so commonly known, she said. 778 She reported that 12 out of 12 of one of her classes of kindergarten children are from single-family parent homes. Ten out of 12 are children of unwed mothers. She told of some of the sad experiences the children have had, dealing with the police coming to their homes and their parents being in jail. Some of the children live in the shelters. Some of the children don’t know where they are going after school. These children are five years old. She said they cannot be everything to everybody, but they have to be as much as they can. They have read more than 200 books this year. They test all the kindergarten children at the beginning of the year. Some of the children are one year and nine months delayed in their reading. She showed a graph which shows that the children progress at a greater rate when they remain in this specialized classroon. Mrs. Pat Campbell said she is proud of this program and knows that it works. Evelyn Funderburke heads up a program called Parents as Teachers. This program was funded by a grant from the state. The grant is for three years and it will be funded for two more years after this initial year. Ms. Funderburke is the coordinator and the parent educator for this program. The program is designed to provide young school age parents with the information and support to give their children the best start in life, she said. She said all her clients are teens who are their students or should be their students. The concept of the program is that experiences in the beginning years of their lives are critical in laying the foundation for school and life success. There are several hundred teen-age parents, some of them with two and three children. In 1993 there were 307 pregnant teenagers in the county. Eight were between the ages of 10 and 14 years. A large percentage of the mothers are dropping out of school. They have difficult pregnancies, lack family support, no financial resources, lack child care knowledge, and ultimately they perpetuate a non-stimulating environment for their children. Child abuse and neglect cases have risen sharply in our county, and the major factor is identified as a lack of child development knowledge. Ms. Funderburke works with the teen mothers in their homes. She visits each of them once monthly and sometimes more often, depending upon their needs. The pamphlets she distributes to the parents are written on different levels of reading skills for the teenage parents who are not skilled readers. Ms. Funderburke holds monthly meetings for the parents and the children and this gives the parents some social skills. They have various topics they study. Many of the mothers live in isolation with the children. Of the 26 mothers she is now seeing, 15 are black, 8 are white, and 3 are Hispanic. The first girl Ms. Funderburke worked with was 13 years old and has a child one year old. She attends eighth grade at one of the middle schools. She makes all A’s. While the student is in school, her mother is at home with the child. She has observed more participation recently with the teenager parent and the child. She gave other examples of the children. Almost half of the girls are attending school. Ms. Funderburke tries to assist with the academic career as well as helping with the infants. The three basic goals of the program are: (1) To reduce child abuse through parent education and to promote positive parent-child interaction; (2) Prepare the young children for successful school entry; (3) Return these teen parents to school to continue their education for a better economic future for themselves and their JAN 2 4 1998 779 JAN 2 4 1995 children. Most of the girls live with their mothers and their mothers were teen mothers also. Alan Hutchens is Guidance Counselor and Soccer Coach at South Iredell. He said there are a lot of situations that keep children from reaching their potentials. He gave real situations from Shepherds School. He sees children because their parents are separated and getting divorced, or someone in the family has died. It is noticeable how that increases after Christmas, Hutchen said. He sees children who are unable to control their temper, anger difficulties, violent. There are children who are being or have been abused. There are underachievers because of low self-esteem, low self-concept, and cannot cope with the rest of the classroom. There are loners, people who find it very difficult to socialize. There are also school phobics. Some of the children require long- time support; others take only two or three weeks until they are back in the mainstream classes. The counseling helps the teacher because they work directly with the difficult children. The counselor can come into the classroom and see the students interact with the other children. They can consult with the parents or with outside agencies if necessary. They can work with small groups of children. A lot of parents call the school for help. There is a great increase in the number of single-parent families. A lot of the parents call on the schools to help with the children. They try to encourage parents to come in for review meetings with the children. These are on- going meetings. Mr. Hutchens believes that early detection is essential and that prevention is better than cure. Jill Blackwelder is a guidance counselor in high school. She said a lot of the students come to school dealing with home tragedies that make it difficult for them to cope with school work, etc. She deals with students who have been raped, some have problems with drugs and alcohol. She gave a recent experience of dealing with a panic attack. Ms. Blackwelder said these students are not teachable when they are dealing with tragedies like this. It is not fair to the teachers to expect them to teach these children. Some of the programs they offer to help these students are support groups. Last year they had 16 different groups at South Iredell High School, consisting of sexuai abuse victims to groups of high anxiety level. Pat Turner teaches an Advanced Placement English class at West Iredell. This program is for the highly motivated, college bound students. Some of the students spend six hours a day doing homework. They pursue college level studies in high school and possibly receive college credits. Over 1000 college and universities in the nation offer Advanced Placement or college credits to students who score at a certain level on the AP tests given in high school. The examinations are very tough. The courses are very rigorous and teachers have special training to teach these courses. Dr. Register said the school system is serving the changing needs of the students, which are varied and diverse. Chairman Haire thanked the school board and staff for the informative meeting. Commissioner Johnson said he thought they had touched on the kids at both ends of the spectrum. He inquired about the average students who are bright but are not going to college. How about the vocational skills so that they will be able to get into the job market? 780 Mr. Long referred to the Tech Prep course. Dr. Register said that 2/3’s of the students don’t go to the universities. They have had a community task force formed from the business and industrial community working with the school people. The task force will recommend to the board of education changes for both short-term and long-term goals. Dr. Norman Harris enumerated some of the courses taught, which are: automotive repair, bricklaying, carpentry (they build a house in a practical academic course and at the end of the year they sell the house), applied physics, applied math, and electronics. Some of the courses next year will be taught at Mitchell for all four high schools, and the students get credit from Mitchell College and from high school. Dr. Harris said they have a long way to go, but this is where they are concentrating right now. Dr. Register said they need to modernize what they are doing in vocational education, because the job market is changing. The task force is going to work in this area. They hope to have apprenticeship programs. They also have the health occupations courses and the business courses, computer education, etc., Register said. Godfrey Williams, a member of the board of education said the industries do not expect the schools to be trained but they want them to be exposed to the skills. They have a program now to help kids make decisions about their life goals that goes into the grammar schools. Dr. Harris said they are working hard on the work ethic, making sure the students have a good attitude toward work. Knowledge is important but a good attitude is important also. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 30, 1995, 6:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 & 2, to meet with the Statesville City council. hy ase ws Lhd Sates!
