APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Anna Rice, Speaking on Behalf of the Home and Community Care Block
Grant Committee, Requests Approval of the County Funding Plan for FY 2006-07:
Rice said the aging population in Iredell County continued to grow and people in this
bracket accounted for 20% of the total population. She said this year, 2006, the first
"wave of baby boomers" (date of birth 1946) would turn 60 and be eligible for services
under the Older Americans Act which comprised much of the funding in the Home and
Community Care Block Grant. Rice said that in 2008, the baby boomers would be able
to draw social security and in 2011, they would be eligible for Medicare. She said this
would show an even larger shift to an even greater older population in Iredell County as
well as nationwide. Mrs. Rice said current funding was $639,607.00, but for FY -2007
the allocation would be $635,557.00. She said a local 90/10 match was required. Rice
then presented the recommended plan for the upcoming year.
Mrs. Rice said the services were designed to help keep older citizens in their
homes/communities thus preserving their independence and dignity. She said the necessary
cut, due to the decreased appropriation, was across the board.
OTION by Commissioner Norman to approve the Home and Community Care Block
Grant Funding Plan for FY 2006-07 as presented by Mrs. Rice.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
Stan Thompson, with the Hydrogen Economy Advancement Team
(Mooresville/South Iredell Chamber of Commerce) Speaks in Reference to a
Resolution in Support of North Carolina's Hydrogen Initiatives: Mr. Thompson
said General Assembly Representative Julia Howard had requested endorsement from
the board of commissioners pertaining to the hydrogen economy. He said a study
prepared by Price Waterhouse Coopers had predicted that in less than 18 years,
hydrogen technologies and related goods/services would exceed $1.7 trillion in
worldwide sales. Thompson said it was important for North Carolina to get involved in
the hydrogen economy, especially since it paid about $4.8 million a year towards H2
research/job creation in competing states. Mr. Thompson requested a "general"
resolution from the county with the following wording:
"A world hydrogen economy is being developed rapidly for its renewability, air
quality, energy independence and economic growth advantages. Iredell County is well
positioned for a leadership position in emerging hydrogen -related industry.
Therefore the Iredell County Commission urges both Houses of the North
Carolina General Assembly to support State initiatives designed to advance hydrogen
research, commerce and employment. "
MOTION by Commissioner Williams to approve a resolution supporting North
Carolina's Hydrogen Initiatives as presented by Mr. Thompson.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
David Lambert, Solid Waste Director, Requests Adoption of a Resolution
Accepting and Endorsing the Solid Waste Management Plan of 2006: Mr. Lambert
presented the three-year update to the solid waste plan as required by G.S. 130A -
309.09A (b). He said the purpose of the plan was to meet local needs and to protect the
public's health. Lambert said the original plan was developed in FY 1990-91 when the
established per capita amount was 1.19 tons for the county. He said this was unrealistic,
and most all areas of the state had experienced a 20% increase. Mr. Lambert continued
by saying the capita of materials recovered had almost tripled since the last update
(2003). He said this amount was now 173 lbs per person vs. 60 in the past. Lambert
said the mission of the solid waste program was "to provide an environmentally
responsible waste disposal system while optimizing all resources fully." He cited the
following four planning goals:

7. Request for Approval & Board Support for the Implementation of an
Umbrella Equipment Maintenance Program Through Electronic Risk
Consultants: Purchasing Agent Dean Lail estimated that at least a 21% savings could
be gained by implementing a maintenance agreement through Electronic Risk
Consultants on existing contracts. He said an umbrella agreement would renew each
year, at the same time, rather than having many agreements up for renewal or
consideration throughout the year. In addition, he said the program would provide
detailed reports, better asset tracking, reduce the risk factors (repair cost and downtime)
and other benefits. Lail recommended that Electronic Risk Consultants be selected for
the program effective July 1, 2006. The other proposals reviewed for this type of
maintenance program were as follows:

8. Request from the Finance Department for Acceptance of a Five -Year Banking
Services Proposal: Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said banking services were
recently bid, and due to many changes in the industry, CPA Bob Segal assisted with the
proposals. She said that after a thorough review, the two of them recommended that First
Citizen's Bank continue in providing banking services for the county, which included a
lockbox service. Blumenstein said the compensating balance was $900,000.00, which was
$525,000 less than the current agreement.
5
Blumenstein was asked if the compensating balance with First Citizens might be
reduced even lower, and she said an inquiry would be made with the bank.
9. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #44 to Recognize Insurance
Proceeds for Property Losses & Appropriation to Departmental Budgets for
Equipment Replacement & Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #45 to
Cover Excess Costs for Advertisements Associated with Job Openings for this Fiscal
Year: Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said Budget Amendment 444 for $26,126 in
insurance proceeds would repay the Tax Dept., Facility Services, and the Sheriff's
Department for property losses this year, along with $10,922 to the Transportation
Department.
In regards to Budget Amendment #45, Blumenstein said an additional $9,000 was
needed to cover advertising costs in excess of the budgeted amount for this year.
10. Request for Approval of a Second Amendment to the Lease Between the
County and Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare for the Highway 21 Facility:
Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said a lease amendment was needed due to the
Crossroads providers occupying additional space at the Hwy. 21 facility. She said
Crossroads would pay the pro rata share (25%) of the total operating costs for the
Human Services Building.
Commissioner Williams requested that someone compute the total square
footage being used for mental health services.
Blumenstein said the square footage would be obtained for the Mooresville site,
the two Statesville sites (Hwy. 21 & Twin Oaks Road), and the information would be
shared.
it. Request from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for a Decision
Regarding Participation in the Beaver Management Assistance Program Extending from
October 1, 2006 — September 30, 2007: County Manager Mashburn said each year the
Wildlife Commission asked if the county wanted to participate in the Beaver Management
Program. He said the cost would be $4,000 for a period extending from October I, 2006 —
September 30, 2007. Mashburn said the wildlife commission would put money into the
program, but the amount was difficult to determine at this time due to not knowing how many
counties would participate. He said the $4,000 would also be taken from the $12,000 already
budgeted for Soil and Water in next year's budget.
12. Request for Approval of the May 9, 2006 Minutes
13. Request for Approval to Apply for a Homeland Security Grant: Emergency
Management Director David Martin requested approval to apply for $32,000 from a
FY03 Homeland Security Grant Supplement. He said the funds would be used to (1)
update the Emergency Operations Plan for National Incident Management System
(NIMS) compliance (2) add resource lists to the Emergency Operations Plan and (3)
revise the "debris annex to facilitate county -wide debris management planning." Martin
said no matching funds were required.
14. Request to Call for a Public Hearing on June 6, 2006 Regarding a Community
Development Block Grant (Economic Development) for Millard Refrigeration, Inc.:
Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said everything was in order to close out the 2003
CDBG for Millard Refrigeration, and she requested that a public hearing be held at the
next regular meeting for this purpose.
