Presentation of an Outstanding County Program Award from the North Carolina
Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) for the Solid Waste Litter Prevention
Submittal: Robin Bradley, a Member Services Associate with the NCACC, said Iredell County was
one of three counties in the state to win an award in the Public Information Category. Bradley said
Solid Waste Employees David Lambert and Diane Lewis successfully submitted an application on the
Litter Prevention Tarp Give Away Program. She said the State Department of Transportation (DOT)
estimated that 50% of roadside litter was caused by unsecured loads, and judges from across the state
had determined that the tarp project was innovative and could be easily duplicated.
Recycling Coordinator Diane Lewis said the DOT provided the tarps. Lewis said that after
Iredell's event, all other counties in the state were provided with a supply of the tarps.
Solid Waste Director David Lambert was also in attendance. (The board members thanked
Bradley for her appearance at the meeting, and they also expressed appreciation to Lambert and Lewis
for their efforts in making Iredell County more litter free.)

Commissioner Tice presented the resolution to SCAN Executive Director Amy Eisele.
MOTION by Commissioner Williams to approve the following 16 consent agenda items.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
(All items were summarized during the briefing session.)
1. Request for Permission to Close the Construction/Demolition Landfill Effective
July 1, 2008 Along with Approval to Co -Mingle C&D Waste with Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW): Solid Waste Director David Lambert provided the following written justification for the
C&D landfill closure:
"The new C&D rules that became effective January 1, 2007 have an effect on Iredell County because of
the short time left in the existing facility. The options available to the County are closure of the facility so that it
is not affected by the new rules, or to continue operation until it is at capacity. Capacity will be reached within
three (3) years. To continue operation, the landfill will have to be capped in approximately three (3) years. To
construct only the clay portion of the cap, it will cost approximately $611,600.00. This is only one part of the
whole construction cost. In addition, to the clay portion, construction will include the erosive layer, methane
vents and reseeding the entire site. Including the engineering costs, the total cost is estimated to be close to
$1,000,000.00. If closure is the chosen option, the C&D waste will have to be disposed in either the existing
MSWLF; ora new facility will have to be constructed on anew site (Harmon Property). With the recent passing
of the Solid Waste Management Act of 2007, CDLs that are not considered an expansion of an existing facility
will be constructed with a base liner system very similar to an MSWLF. There will be some additional cost to
construct a MSWLF over a CDLF. However, we estimate that this cost will range from no change in cost to
$10,000 per acre more for the MSWLF. This additional cost, if any, will be more than offset by having only one
facility, rather than two, dealing with leachate generation. Based on this, construction and use of a MSWLF to
dispose of C&D waste will be the more cost effective option. Co -disposal in the MSW landfill will require the tip
fee on C&D be raised to the same level as MSW waste, which is from the current fee of $30 per ton to $35 per
ton. However this will still be less than the amount of increase that would be needed to construct a new lined
C&D site as well as generate the needed revenue to cover the closure costs of the current site within the next 3
years. The construction of a new dedicated C&D will be more than the expansion of existing MSW due to the
necessity of duplicating existing infrastructures such as scales, roads, and leachate collection systems.
Operational costs will be less with a single site. A reduction in equipment needs, repair costs and labor should
result in savings. Equipment and workforce can be utilized more efficiently on a single site resulting in an
economy of scale."

"This does not attempt to capture all costs. There are many, variables that could affect operator expense. Savings
is dependent on,fbrce reduction through some means or another. At some point, there must be a savings associated with
economies of scale fFom having one large operation opposed to two .smaller ones. "
Lambert said many counties were closing their C&D landfills. He said Iredell's closure would
necessitate the speeding up of the Phase V permit for the new MSW cell.

3. Request for Approval of the FY 08-09 Criminal Justice Partnership Program Budget &
Approval of Budget Amendment #42A for the Acceptance of FY 07-08 Additional Funding of
$17,689: Appropriate Punishment Options (APO) Director Pam Navey presented a budget of
5117,057 for next year. Navey said the funding had been cut by the state, but she hoped additional
funds would be added later in the fiscal year. She said the program currently had 170 clients, and the
caseload goal for the entire year was 185. Navey said the APO staff would relocate to the Harrill
Street Building in July.
Navey said an additional $17,689 for FY 07-08 had been received, and permission was needed
to accept this funding which would be used for salaries.
4. Request for Approval of a Resolution in Support of the Continuation of the Criminal
Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) Funding: Deputy County Manager Susan Blumenstein said
the state had not included CJPP funding in the continuation budget, and the future of the program was
being studied by the legislature's Justice & Public Safety Appropriations Committee. She said
statewide, CJPP recipients were asking counties to approve resolutions in support for the continued
program funding. Pam Navey, a member of the CJPP committee, and the Executive Director of
Appropriation Punishment Options, the agency utilizing the program funds for the Iredell Resource
Center, provided the following cost estimate on the imprisonment of clients versus the utilization of the
CJPP/Iredell Resource Center:
If 75% of 183 clients = 138 clients and these serve 90 days at the Iredell County
Detention Center at $75.63/day, the cost to Iredell County is approximately $939,325.
,V'50% of 183 = 92 clients x 90 days x $75.63/day, this equals a $626,217 cost to
Iredell County. This cost savings does not take into account the many other services
leveraged through collaborative efforts that have immeasurable impact on the lives of
the clients, their families and the entire community.
Navey supplied the following resolution that was adopted by the board.

12. Request from the Town of Troutman for a Resolution in Support of Including the
Municipality in the Barringer and Fallstown Fire Protection District: Town of Troutman
Manager David Saleeby requested approval of a resolution that would authorize the municipal
corporate limits to be included in the newly formed Barringer and Fallstown (B&F) Fire Protection

Keith Troutman, a member of the Troutman VFD Board of Directors, said the current tax rate
was five cents, and it was anticipated this would remain the same at July 1. (It was also mentioned that
the Town of Troutman fire district would probably be eliminated as of July 1.)

BARRINGER-FALLSTOWN RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

district and used for fire protection within the district; and
WHEREAS, said Fire District is served by the Troutman Fire Department, Inc., at this time; and

within the entire Fire District, including the Town of Troutman.

14. Request from the Solid Waste Department for Approval of a Lease with Iredell Landfill
Gas, LLC (DTE Energy Biomass): Solid Waste Director David Lambert said Detroit Biomass
owned the methane gas rights at the landfill, and last summer, a lease was signed with EnergyUnited
for the operation of a three megawatt generation plant. Lambert said a lease was now needed to allow
a small portion of unused landfill property to be used for the plant site. (The plant site lease will run
concurrently with the existing agreement between the county and DTE dated December 14, 1995.)
15. Request from the Iredell-Statesville Schools for Approval to Sell Two Tracts of Land:
Director of School Construction Rob Jackson said the school system had two properties that were
surplus to the educational unit and the right of first refusal was being offered to the county. He

16. Request from the Sheriffs Department for Approval of a Forensic Lab Director's Position:

hearings would assist in securing convictions. Dowdle said the lab services would be offered to other
counties, and some funding could be received from the state. He asked that a lab director's position be
established at a Grade 77, and he said the sheriff had agreed, for the next two years, to pay the costs
out of seized funds.
