Presentation of a Distinguished Citizen Certificate to Mary Powers for being Chosen
as the 2008 Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare Volunteer of the Year: Chairman Williams,
along with Crossroads CEO David Swann, presented Mary Powers with a Distinguished Citizen
certificate for her work on the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Health, an
advocacy and support group for persons afflicted with mental illness, along with family members.
Swann said Powers served as President of the organization, and she was recently recognized by
Crossroads as the 2008 Volunteer of the Year.
Chairman Williams said the Crossroads Volunteer of the Year Award was in honor of
Mr. Clyde Shook, a resident of Surry County, and a long-time member of the Crossroads Board of
Directors. Williams said the award was presented each year to a deserving person, and
Mrs. Powers, an Iredell County resident, had been chosen as the recipient for the three -county
area.
APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare Area Director/CEO David Swann Provides a
Mid -Year Report: Mr. Swann said Crossroads was a three -county local management entity,
and the organization was a unit of local government independent of the county. Swann then
reviewed the key services, functions, and current strategic plan. He said recently a "Walk -In
Urgent Care Center" opened at the Crossroads site in Iredell County. Swann said the facility
offered a psychiatrist, a nurse, and a social worker, plus the site had a telemedicine device that
connected to the Mt Airy office where another walk-in urgent care facility was located. Swann
said if one site was busy the other location could be used through the telemedicine program. He
said other new services or programs added this year were two new pediatric therapists, a
substance abuse program for court involved youth, a wellness recovery program, and crisis
intervention training for area law enforcement officers.
In regards to the budget, Swann said Crossroads' expenditures were matching the
revenues. He said the information showed a deficit of $464,342.00; however, this was due to the
state being in arrears of payments to Crossroads. Swann said the state started off each fiscal year
by being one to two months behind, but payments were up-to-date by June. He said due to a
state requirement for budget reductions, Crossroads was de -allocated $520,626 for this fiscal
year. Swann said so far, no services had been cut. He said the entity had over 120 different
contract providers offering services.
Additional information was provided by Swann regarding the budget, and a copy of a
revenue and expenditures summary is as follows:

Commissioner Johnson asked if the state was still encouraging mergers between the local
managing entities.
Swann said at this point, there was no pressure being placed on the organizations;
however, some smaller programs had found merger partners.
Johnson asked if the jail training service was an on-going program with the sheriff's
department.
Swann said yes, and it was three -fold. He said first there was training on how to better
manage mental health patients, secondly, information was provided on how to assess a person
having problems, and the third component described what action needed to be taken when a
person was identified as having mental problems and how to get them help.
Johnson asked if any developments were occurring at the state level that would impact
Crossroads' budget.
2
Swann said yes. He said another budget reduction was anticipated, and former Governor
Easley had asked all state departments to come up with a proposal of three, five, and seven
percent reductions as options for Governor Perdue to have at her disposal. Swann said these
were submitted, and he knew that mental health in the community was included in the
Department of Health and Human Services proposal for a possible reduction. He said that if the
five percent option were chosen, then some additional cuts might occur at Crossroads.
Commissioner Norman asked about the previous problem the deputies were having with
the lengthy delays in transporting mentally ill patients to the state facilities.
Swann said occasional delays had occurred for the law enforcement officers, but the
problem was basically resolved. He said many people were now being served at the local crisis
center which decreased some of the transports. Mr. Swann said commitments to the state
hospitals had also decreased.
Commissioner Johnson said last year Crossroads spent much of its fund balance. He said
it appeared the organization currently had a little over $2 million.
Swann said this was correct, and it was 9.97% of the budget. He said Crossroads had to
maintain a minimum of 8%.

2. Request from the Tax Administration Department for Approval of a 2009 Regional
Orthophotography Project Contract and Authorization for the County Manager to Sign
the Document: Tax Administrator Bill Doolittle and GIS Director Chris Bridges requested
approval of a $149,546.27 contract for digital orthophotography to occur in February and March.
Bridges said the benefits from the aerial photography were (1) its usefulness for the revaluation
(2) its usefulness to other county departments and (3) its usefulness to web sites such as Google
Earth. He said that in May of 2008, the board approved a service agreement with Centralina
Council of Governments to obtain Requests for Qualifications for the project. He said nine
companies responded, and Photo Science was selected. Continuing, he said the funding was
budgeted ($100,000 in FY 07-08 & $100,000 in FY 08-09), and the project should be finished in
late October or November of this year.

4. Request from the Purchasing Agent for the Waiver of Formal Bidding
Requirements through "Piggyback Exceptions" and the Awarding of a Contract to
Purchase Two New 2009 Dodge Type 1 AEV Trauma Hawk Ambulances from
Northwestern Emergency Vehicles: Purchasing Agent Dean Lail and EMS Director David
Cloer requested permission to purchase two new ambulances that were budgeted. Cloer said a
third vehicle was originally in the request pending identification of funds; however, this was no
longer being requested. He said the two vehicles being replaced (#s 404 and 406) would remain
in the fleet as backups along with the other four backup ambulances.
Lail said G.S. 143-129 (g) allowed local boards to waive formal bidding requirements for
the vehicles if in the past 12 months a contract had been awarded by another political subdivision
or state. He said that in September 2008, Northwestern Emergency Vehicles was awarded a
contract by an EMS Department in Jackson County, Virginia. Lail said locally, as required by
the same statute, a newspaper advertisement was published (January 9, 2009) announcing the
board's consideration of the bid waiver requirements and the possible award of the contract to
Northwestern Emergency Vehicles. He said the Northwestern ambulances met the county's
needs, and it was doubtful a better price could be obtained due to them being specialty vehicles.
(The cost is $116,213.00 per vehicle.)
5. Request from the Sheriff's Department for the Approval of a Resolution Regarding
the Badge and Service Sidearm of Retiring Deputy Cheryl Hilderbrand: Purchasing Agent
Dean Lail advised that Deputy Hilderbrand was retiring January 30. He said the sheriff's
department was requesting approval of a resolution allowing Hilderbrand to retain her
employment badge and to purchase her service sidearm.
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE BADGE & SIDEARM
OF
DEPUTY CHERYL HILDERBRAND
WHEREAS, Deputy Cheryl Hilderbrand has served honorably in the Iredell County Sheriff's Office
and has successfully met the requirements for retirement and does, upon the occasion of her retirement,
request that she be permitted to keep her badge and to purchase her service sidearm.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Commissioners of Iredell County, that
said badge be awarded to Deputy Cheryl Hilderbrand at no charge and that she be allowed to purchase
her service sidearm for the sum of One Dollar ($1.00), as provided by G.S. 20-187.2.

6. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #38 to Appropriate Special Children's
Adoption Funds Received in the Last Budget Year & to Allow the Staff to Contract for
Legal Services to Expedite a Backlog of Adoptions through Termination of Parental Rights:
Social Services Director Don Wall said his department earned $63,000 in 2008 from the Special
Children's Adoption Fund. He said the funds were previously recognized; however, a purchasing
5
order was never done. Wall requested approval of a budget amendment to recognize the funds
presently in the county's reserve and to allow the department to contract for adoption legal
services.

leave time to a specific employee or to donate leave time to a pool or bank. (See briefing
minutes for additional information.)
END OF CONSENT
Request from Social Services for the Establishment of Four New Income
Maintenance Caseworker 11 Positions (Two Positions for the Food & Nutrition Services
Program & Two Positions for the Family & Children's Medicaid Program): Social Services
Director Don Wall requested four additional caseworker positions due to the economy. He said
more employees were needed to meet the increased demand for services, and it was not social
services' fault that the economy had collapsed. Wall said the employees and the county's most
vulnerable citizens had to cope with the effects. He said that in the Family & Children's
Medicaid Program the caseload in October of 2008 had increased by 1,170 more cases compared
to the same month in 2007. Wall said more applications meant higher caseloads. He said there
were 499 more cases in the food stamp program. Additionally, Mr. Wall said approximately
18,000 Iredell County citizens were receiving Medicaid. He said during the month of December
there were 3,442 office visits. Mr. Wall said the demand for assistance in both programs had
been overwhelming, and the staff was not able to manage the increased workload. Mr. Wall
mentioned that in the food stamp program the workers had 30 days to complete an application,
while they had 45 days in the Medicaid program. He said the department had adequate funds
($465,244) in the Medicaid budget to fund the positions, and the $34,189.68 needed for this fiscal
year could be transferred into salaries.
Wall said both programs required the employees to (1) take the applications (2) make
changes to the applications as needed (3) complete the forms for termination of services and (4)
recertify the recipients when needed.
Commissioner Norman asked about the new requirement that might be coming from the
state.
Income Maintenance Supervisor Lynn Deal said state officials had advised that a
proposal included in the economic stimulus package proposed by President Obama would
increase the income levels for food stamp recipients up to 20%. She said this would mean more
people would apply for food stamps and be eligible.
Mr. Wall provided the following statistics to show the demand for services:

• Could easily make 2 more caseloads at 553 cases each
Commissioner Johnson referred to the caseload of 4,577 in November 2008 for
Nutritional Services. He asked if this number referred to all of the people interviewed, or was it
the total for all of the people who qualified.
Mrs. Deal said this was the current caseload size for families receiving assistance or the
ones who qualified. She said a case could involve several members of the same family.
Commissioner Johnson had concerns about approving four new positions, but he
acknowledged that one case might involve much work. He compared the November 2007
caseload to the one for November 2008 with 12 line workers (food stamp program). He said in
November of 2007 this would be a caseload of 335, and it appeared that in November of 2008
there would be a caseload of 381. Johnson said this would be about a 14% workload increase.
He said the Nutritional Services statistics had been erratic with an increase occurring mostly in
recent months while Medicaid had steadily risen. He said just going by percentages, it appeared
two additional people would get the department at about the same increase, percentage wise in
staff, as compared to the percentage increase in caseload. Johnson said this was not withstanding
the fact that the numbers were behind (ended in November and October).
Mr. Wall said the budget was 5.1 % underspent, and there was $400,000 in the Medicaid
program that had not been spent. He said the department was "fighting fire."
OTIO by Commissioner Johnson to approve two new positions and to approve a
budget amendment.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: MOTIO by Commissioner Keadle to amend the
motion by approving one position rather than two.
Commissioner Johnson asked how long it took to fully train a person.

Wall said the worker would be contributing from day one -- the person would shadow the
other workers and help with the forms and filing. He said the person would go to intake at three
months; however, to fully understand the program it took nine to twelve months.
Commissioner Keadle mentioned that Mr. Johnson had pointed out that if one took the
percentage of the increase of the needs, and this was computed for personnel, that two additional
people would leave the department where it was in November 2007. He said that in light of the
hardship existing for everyone in the United States, and in Iredell County, it seemed that rather
than saying the county would completely eliminate the hardship on any one person, i.e., the
county personnel delivering the services, or the people looking for the services, that everyone
should share in the hardship. He said for that reason, he felt one person would spread the
hardship around.
Commissioner Norman said he had seen the waiting line out the front door of the social
services building, and he was in favor of adding two people.
