5. Request for the Approval of a Settlement Agreement in Regards to Food Lion LLC's
Tax Appeal to the North Carolina Property Tax Commission: Tax Administrator Bill
Doolittle requested approval of a settlement agreement with the Food Lion Company due to a
$94,000 tax discovery. He said acceptance of the $70,000 settlement was recommended because
of the costs to continue the litigation/depositions. Doolittle said the staff made random tax
reviews, but in this particular case, a property owner mentioned improvements not listed by the
company. Mr. Doolittle said that within a ten-year period, the staff probably reviewed the tax
listings for most all businesses in the county.
The settlement agreement is as follows:
This letter will confirm the terms of the settlement reached between Food Lion LLC ("Food Lion')
and Iredell County concerning all outstanding tax issues for 1998 through 2006 with Iredell County,
pursuant to our telephone conversations on September 28, 2006. The settlement is subject to the
approval of the Iredell County Board of Commissioners. This settlement resolves (1) Food Lion's
appeal from the 1998-2003 business personal property discovery assessment (North Carolina
Property Tax Commission Case No. 04 PTC373), (2) all outstanding real and personal property tax
issues for the 2004-2006 tax years, and (3) the classification of leasehold improvements as real
property for tax years 1998 forward.
3
The settlement reached between Iredell County and Food Lion provides that
A. Upon execution of this letter by all parties, Food Lion will pay to Iredell County seventy
thousand dollars ($70,000) as full and final payment in settlement of all outstanding taxes, penalties and
interest, and all outstanding final discoveries, proposed or tentative discoveries, final audits, proposed
audits, and all other property tax issues of which Food Lion and Iredell County are presently aware, for
the 1998-2006 time period, except for 2006 taxes, which are payable on or before January 5, 2007.
B. Upon execution of this letter by all parties, Food Lion will withdraw with prejudice case
number 04 PTC 373 pending before the North Carolina Property Tax Commission.
C. Upon execution of this letter by all parties, Iredell County will not conduct any further audit
of Food Lion for any tax years up to and including 2006 and Iredell County will not issue any tentative or
final discovery assessment for any tax years up to and including, 2006.
D. Upon execution of this letter by all parties, Iredell County and Food Lion agree that
leasehold improvements at Food Lion stores in Iredell County shall be treated as real property and shall
be listed, appraised and assessed as real property by Iredell County for tax years 1998 through 2006,
and for tax years 2007 and beyond. Food Lion will continue to list machinery and equipment as personal
property. Beginning with tax year 2007, all real property additions, including leasehold improvements,
shall be listed by Food Lion or its landlords.
E. It is the intent of the parties to resolve all tax issues and disputes through tax year 2006.
It is further the agreement of the parties that leasehold improvements shall be treated as real property,
not personal property, for tax years 2007 and beyond.
6. Request from the Welfare Planning Board/Social Services for Approval of the 2007-
2009 Work First Plan: Social Services Director Don Wall, Work First Supervisor Linda
Bledsoe, and Income Maintenance Supervisor Lynn Deal attended the briefing to present the
two-year Work First Plan. Bledsoe said there were two main changes, and one eliminated land
ownership in emergency assistance requests due to the length of time needed to convert property
into cash. She said the other change involved intensive Work First cases, and the department
would follow the standard plan in these with the exception of property and vehicles.
7. Request from the Sheriff's Department for Approval of Budget Amendment #16 to
Recognize Additional Funding from the Iredell-Statesville Schools for the Placement of a
School Resource Officer at East Iredell Middle School: Chief Deputy Rick Dowdle said the
Iredell-Statesville School System had received additional funding for a School Resource Officer
and desired to place the individual at East Iredell Middle School. He said for eight months the
costs would be $38,885 and a spare law enforcement vehicle would be used. (The position will
be effective upon approval by the board.)
8. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #17 in the Amount of $55,000 for the
Transfer of Funds from Contingency for the Maintenance/Repairs to Property Leased by
LifeSpan, Inc. (This is for a failing septic system & HVAC repairs to the former Vocational Workshop in
Troutman, NC): Facility Services Director Jeff Frazier said the LifeSpan facility sewer had the
following problems: drainfill has failed, tank is broken and backed up, poor soil/ground around
the system, and not enough land to place a new drainfill. He said it appeared the only option was
to use a pump station, and at present, the sewage was being pumped three times a week. Frazier
said the Town of Troutman would eventually have a gravity sewer system in place that could
serve the workshop.
Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said the property was now under the county's
control due to the dissolution of the Iredell Vocational Workshop, Inc. She said the former
Chairman of the Workshop Board, Elbert Richardson, had indicated a $25,000 payment would
be forthcoming to the county out of the remaining cash assets. Blumenstein said this could be
applied towards the sewer and HVAC repairs. She said the remaining costs could be taken from
contingency.
The following is an itemized listing on how the $55,000 will be used.

variety of birth control products for the Family Planning Clinic (both requests on same budget
amendment).
11. Request from the Health Department for Approval of a New Fee for a Rotavirus
Vaccine: Health Director Campbell said a $64 charge needed to be added to the existing fee
schedule for a gastrointestinal illness vaccine (Rotavirus — Rota Teel — CPT Code 90680 -
$63.25/per dose).
12. Request for Approval of the Following Actions in Conjunction with the Pratt
Industries Community Development Block Grant:
a. Adoption of a Resolution Regarding an Application for CDBG Funding
b. Approval of a Legally Binding Commitment between the County & Pratt Industries
c. Authorization for the Chairman, County Manager, Deputy County Manager, &
Clerk to the Board to Approve Documents as Necessary to Complete an Application
Deputy County Manager Blumenstein said past board action (August 1, 2006) approved a
Pratt Industries CDBG application for water, sewer and rail, but now, it had been discovered that
the cost to construct the railroad would be higher. She said the Department of Commerce had
agreed to increase the CDBG from $576,846 to $680,000 (maximum allowed for number of new
jobs being created). Blumenstein said the increased CDBG funding would necessitate an
increased match from Pratt, and this would change from $144,782 to $180,000. She said Pratt
would pledge the $180,000 out the county's economic development incentive of $382,800
approved on August 2, 2005. (A copy of the resolution, a copy of the legally binding
commitment agreement, and a copy of budgetary source information are included as follows.)

PUBLIC FACILITIES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the I st day of August 2006, by and
between Jet Corr, Inc., doing business as Pratt Industries, a corporation authorized to transact business
within the State of North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation") and Iredell County, North
Carolina (hereinafter referred to as the "Applicant"). This Agreement will not become effective until all
conditions placed upon the Applicant's funding approval are satisfied and funds are released by the
Department of Commerce (hereinafter "DOC") pursuant to a Community Development Block Grant
(hereinafter "CDBG") with the Applicant.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Applicant anticipates receiving a Community Development Block Grant from
the Department of Commerce in the amount of $680,000.00 to be used primarily to benefit low to
moderate -income persons by financing the economic development project to be undertaken by the
Applicant and the Corporation (the "Project").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promised and the mutual covenants and promises
set forth herein, the Corporation and the Applicant hereby agree as follows:
L AGREED ACTIONS
A. The Corporation shall execute its responsibilities as identified in Corporation's narrative exhibits and
the employment profiles contained in the Applicant's CDBG application to DOC. Those exhibits and
commitments are incorporated herein by reference, as if set out in full. The Corporation agrees to build
and operate the Project in a timely manner. Briefly, those documents describe the expansion of the
Corporations operations with the construction of new 300,000 square foot facility (the "Facility") in the
West Fanns Industrial site on NC Highway 90 in Iredell County, North Carolina (the "County"). On
September 20, 2005, the Corporation confirmed that it currently had continuing operations in the County
which employ 112 people and they commit to employ 68 additional people by July 31, 2008. DOC has
allowed that the Corporation may begin the hiring process that will qualify toward the job commitment
effective September 20, 2005. In addition, the Corporation commits to employ persons whose household
income is within low to moderate -income limits in sixty percent (60%) of all jobs created at the
Corporation's Facility until the grant is closed by DOC. The Corporation agrees that if it fails to create
and maintain 68 jobs prior to July 31, 2008, it will reimburse DOC $10,000.00 for each job not created.
The Corporation also agrees that if at the end of the grant agreement the number of prior low to moderate -
income people employed at the Facility falls below fifty one percent (51%) of the total employment at the
Facility, the entire grant amount will be due and payable to DOC by the Corporation. The Corporation's
liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the dollar amount of the grant made by the Department of
Commerce. If unforeseen calamity, an Act of God or financial disaster is the cause of action under this
section of the Agreement, the Corporation and the Applicant may appeal to DOC for an extraordinary
modification of this responsibility. Such modification shall be at the discretion of the Secretary of the
Department of Commerce. The requirement that persons of low to moderate income must hold a
minimum of fifty-one percent (51%) of all jobs created cannot be waived.
B. Each party shall keep and maintain books, records, and other documents relating directly to the receipt
and disbursement of grant funds and fulfillment of this Agreement.
6
C. Each party agrees that any duly authorized representative of the Applicant, DOC, the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Comptroller General of the United States shall,
at all reasonable times, have access to and the right to inspect, copy, audit, and examine all of the books,
records, and other documents relating to the grant and the fulfillment of the Agreement for a period of
three (3) years following the completion of all close-out procedures respecting the CDBG funds, and the
final settlement and conclusion of all issues arising out of the CDBG funds.
D. Not withstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge the due execution of
the CDBG Grant Agreement between the Applicant and DOC and agree that any conflict between the
provisions, requirements, duties, or obligations of this Agreement and the CDBG Grant Agreement shall
be resolved in favor of the CDBG Grant Agreement.
IL ENFORCEMENT
A. If at the end of the approved project period the Corporation has failed to create the full number of job
positions and low to moderate -income job positions presented in Agreed Actions Section I of this
Agreement, or to incur the full level of private investment committed to in its grant application, as
provided above, then the Corporation will pay to the Applicant an amount calculated in the manner set out
in Section I -A of this Agreement.
B. This Agreement constitutes a legally enforceable contract and shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed under Seal as of
the date first above written.
