PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ADJUSTMENTS OF THE AGENDA: The county manager shared the following
agenda adjustments:
Additions: *Request from the Iredell County Rescue Squad for S 14,700 in Rescue Capital
Funds for Extrication Equipment (Appointment Before the Board)
*Request from the Iredell-Statesville School System for Approval to Apply for

addition to another economic development closed session requested by another agency.)
Other: The county manager advised of a meeting at the Troutman Town Hall on Wednesday,
July 15, 2009, at 5:00 P.M. He said the county commissioners had been invited, and
if three or more attended, this would constitute a board meeting. Mashburn said that
if a quorum of the board desired to attend, then the chairman could adjourn the
July 14 meeting to the July 15 meeting in Troutman. (This action was not necessary;
however, due to only Commissioner Johnson, and possibly Commissioner Keadle,
being able to attend the Troutman meeting.)
Presentation of an Appreciation Plaque to Human Resources Retiree Larry Ray:
County Manager Mashburn said Mr. Ray was employed with Iredell County in 1997 after a
lengthy and successful career in Emergency Medical Services. Mashburn said Ray became
Iredell County's EMS and Emergency Services Director as well as the Safety & Training
Officer, the American's with Disabilities Act Officer, and that he had assumed other roles and
responsibilities as needed. He said Mr. Ray had done a great job in all of the positions.
Chairman Williams then presented an appreciation plaque to Ray for his many years of
dedicated service.
Presentation of a Congratulatory Resolution to the City of Statesville for Achieving
the All -America City Designation: Chairman Williams read the following resolution and
presented the document to Statesville Mayor Costi Kutteh and Greater Statesville Chamber of
Commerce President and CEO David Bradley on behalf of the local All -America City committee
members.

and
WHEREAS, hundreds of applications were reviewed and 32 entries were selected to participate
in the All -America City finals held in Tampa, Florida on June 17-19, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the City of Statesville, along with nine other communities across the nation, were

Club of the Piedmont, the Mi Familia Institute, the Fifth Street Shelter Ministries, the Statesville High

APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Request from the Home & Community Care Block Grant Committee for Approval
of the FY 09-10 Spending Plan: Council on Aging Executive Director Anna Rice said Iredell
County's citizens with ages in the 60+ bracket now exceeded 27,000 people, and not unlike the
state as a whole, the county's 60+ population continued to grow. She said the "baby boomers"
were now needing and qualifying for aging services, and many people born between 1949 and
1964 were leaming about and preparing to care for their aging relatives. Rice said the Council
on Aging would continue to provide services along the continuum of care, adjusting to the new
attitudes of the baby boomers while keeping the frail elderly in the homes and community. Mrs.
Rice then presented the funding plan, and a copy of the services summary chart is as follows.
Mrs. Rice said the Older Americans Act funding for the community increased $4,000 this
fiscal year, and the committee voted to increase the salaries of the In -Home Aides who were
providing chore services. She said the aides would now be making the minimum wage of $7.25
2
an hour. Rice said the block grant money required a ten percent local match, and the county
assisted the Council on Aging in meeting this requirement. She said that for every county dollar
given to the program, the federal government gave nine dollars.

OTION by Commissioner Johnson to approve the HCCBG plan as presented by Mrs.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Request from Harry Tsumas Regarding a Sanitary Sewer Easement Across Iredell
County Property: Mr. Tsumas said a sewer line near the county's landfill had been in place
for over eight years; however, an easement was never recorded. Tsumas said references had
always been made to a "general easement," but a "specific site easement" was now needed. He
said the property was on Fourth Creek, and it tied onto the main trunk line. Mr. Tsumas said
normally the easement recording would have occurred through subdivision requirements;
however, these particular tracts of property were sold off in metes and bounds.
County Manager Mashburn said several years ago the county approved the sewer line,
but for some reason the easement was never recorded. He said only a few feet of county
property would be affected, and there wasn't any reason to deny the request.
OTION by Commissioner Keadle to approve the request.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Request from the Iredell County Rescue Squad for $14,700 in Rescue Capital
Funds for Extrication Equipment: Rescue Deputy Chief Brian Niblock requested capital
funding to purchase new hydraulic equipment. He said the car industry was using higher
strength metals, and this hampered extrication services. Niblock said the current equipment was
insufficient, and three new units were needed for their squads'crash vehicles. He said the units
were $5,000 each, and they were compatible with the squad's other equipment.
Finance Director Susan Blumenstein said $126,400 was available for the Iredell County
Rescue Squad. She said this money had been reserved for future capital projects.
OTION by Commissioner Keadle to approve the request.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
PUBLIC HEARING
Consideration of the 2030 Horizon Plan: Planning Director Ron Smith, along with
Clarion Associates' Consultants Roger Waldon and Leigh Anne King presented information
about the comprehensive land use plan.
Mr. Waldon said the 1997 Land Use Plan served the county well, but changes were
needed due to growth. He summarized the guiding principles of the plan as follows:
*Provide fiscally efficient governance and public services.
•Provide Leadership to Coordinate Planning within the County.
*Coordinate Development with the Provision of Infrastructure.
•Balance the Protection of Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Rural Character with
Private Property Rights.
*Maintain and Promote Local Agricultural Businesses.
*Promote and Assist Economic Development Efforts.
•Enhance Quality of Life for Residents.
Ms. King said the committee identified several key items that needed to be addressed in
the plan, and these were growth management and future land use along with agricultural
preservation, transportation issues, the encouragement of economic development efforts,
cultural, environmental and water resource protection efforts, and the provision of public
3
services and facilities within the county. She said four priority action items were identified, and
these were recommended for adoption in the next two years. The items were as follows:
1. Creating a formal mechanism for inter -jurisdictional collaboration and coordination
with the towns.
2. Establish an ETJ extension policy.
3. Update to the county's development ordinances.
4. Protecting rural lands through formal policy actions.
Waldon said the plan could serve as a framework for growth management in the future.
Janet McClure, a resident of Westmoreland Road, said the plan was "overwhelming,
and it was difficult to understand anything mentioned by the consultants. McClure said the plan
wanted business nodes on major highways, and Westmoreland Road ended on Hwy. 21. She
said that for the past eight years, the residents in her community had been fighting to prevent
businesses at the end of the road. McClure said zoning requests had always been withdrawn
before they were presented to the board of commissioners, and if the plan were adopted, with the
business nodes intact, what the neighbors had been trying to prevent would be for nothing.
McClure said her neighborhood would be ruined.
Wade Overcash, a resident of 128 Westmoreland Road, referred to the same situation
mentioned by Mrs. McClure, and he said the community did not want any businesses near their
property. He said the individual desiring to locate a business at the end of Hwy. 21 "didn't live
there and didn't care" about the residents.
Ron Overeash, a resident of Powderhom Road, off Westmoreland Road, said he agreed
with the two earlier speakers. He said the residents had a hard time accessing Hwy. 21 already,
and there were no plans for any future roadway improvements.
Commissioner Johnson said the plan did not rezone any properties, and it basically served
as a framework for a countywide land use plan. He said that within the framework, various
zoning ordinances would be used as they related to the different types of property.
Commissioner Robertson said there were several instances, under strategies mentioned in
the plan, where incentives were mentioned. He said, for example, providing an incentive for
employees to not drive alone to work or to promote education for people who lived near a farm.
Robertson said these might sound good, but how were they to be implemented, especially with
the county's current financial situation. He asked if the committee and consultants were
expecting the board to come up with the funds. He also asked how concrete were the actions that
were listed for the commissioners to accomplish.
Planning Director Smith said an effort had been made to steer away from anything that
obligated funding, other than an initiative or a need that was required by law or some other
mandate. He said the term "education" was "peppered" throughout the plan, and one way to
accomplish some of this might be to publish something on the planning department's web site,
for example, an air quality tab might list the air quality rating for that specific day. Smith said
the Farmland Preservation Board could also assist, for example, distribute literature or get the
word out to let the people know about daily farm operations.
Commissioner Johnson said there were certain types of herbicides and fertilizer that had
to be a certain distance from a well. He mentioned that close to a farm, a developer might place
a well near the property line. Johnson said the farmer would suffer because much of his
property would be rendered useless for crops, and this would reduce the land's productivity. He
said the ordinance would determine how well the plan worked and difficult decisions would need
to be made. Mr. Johnson mentioned page 36 of the plan, and he said there was no mention of a
traffic impact study if the county granted a future release of extraterritorial jurisdiction. He said
the Morrison's Plantation Development was an example of "sealing the fate of Brawley School
Road." Johnson said the board passed the release on a 3-2 vote with former Commissioner
David Boone and himself being in opposition. He said transportation was a difficult issue,
especially in regards as to what the county could legally do, but these problems should be dealt
with on the "front end and not the back end." Johnson said it was a procedural matter, within
4
the board's authority to grant or not grant ETJ, and tying this to public safety was a worthy
consideration.
Mr. Robertson said each board member seemed to have concerns and he suggested that
each commissioner share their questions with the county staff.
Commissioner Keadle said the board members were part-time people who were presented
with a 97 page detailed document less than a month ago. He said it took a year to create the
document, and in the absence of a motion, he felt the board should proceed with the other agenda
items.
County Manager Mashburn suggested for the board to meet on August 18 at 4:00 P.M.,
prior to the regularly scheduled meeting at 7:00 P.M.
MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to meet on August 18, 2009, at 4:00 P.M. to
discuss the 2030 Horizon Plan, and prior to the meeting, to share the board members' feedback
with Planning Director Ron Smith.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
Request for Approval of a Resolution to Expand the Erosion & Sedimentation
Control Program to Include Mooresville Effective September 1, 2009 & Contingent Upon
Approval by the Sedimentation Control Commission: Planning Director Ron Smith said the
Town of Mooresville on June 1, 2009 adopted a resolution requesting the county to assume soil
erosion and sedimentation control for the town's jurisdiction. He said a resolution was now
needed from the county agreeing to enforce the ordinance within the town's jurisdiction effective
September 1, 2009 contingent upon the state's approval in August.
MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to adopt the Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Expansion resolution as presented.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Expansion
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, in 2007, Iredell County adopted an Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Program which was applicable to all the unincorporated areas of Iredell County; and
WHEREAS, the areas within the incorporated areas of Iredell County are also experiencing
issues with erosion and sedimentation arising principally from land disturbance activities related to
economic development; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Mooresville has enacted a resolution adopting the Iredell County
Erosion and Sedimentation Control ordinance and making it applicable to the areas within its corporate
and extraterritorial jurisdiction boundaries and requesting the assistance of Iredell County in policing

boundaries; and
WHEREAS, Iredell County has and does hereby agree to the request from Mooresville.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Erosion and Sedimentation Program adopted by ordinance by the County Commissioners
of Iredell County on May 1, 2007 is hereby extended into the incorporated areas and the areas of
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Town of Mooresville, effective on the I" day of September 2009.
2. Iredell County personnel shall, effective on the I st day of September 2009, begin to enforce the

Request from the Iredell-Statesville School System for Approval to Transfer $80,000
from General Contracts (Annual Renovations) to Furniture & Equipment:
Dr. Kenny Miller, with the school system, said capital outlay funds had been provided for
renovations and upgrades, but if a ten percent change in the line item occurred, approval had to
be obtained from the board of commissioners. He said money had been budgeted for
International Baccalaureate programs; however, nothing was included for specialized furniture
and equipment (science and technology). Miller requested approval to move $80,000 from the
general contract line to furniture and equipment. He said the transfer involved no additional
money; rather it was just an accounting matter.
MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to approve the request.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Request from the Iredell-Statesville School System for Approval to Apply for
Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB) in Conjunction with the Union Grove
Elementary School Project: Dr. Kenny Miller said the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education
had recently approved a resolution to submit an application for QSCB funding of up to
$2,686,619.04. Miller said the funding was a part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment
Act, and North Carolina had received $275,777,200 that could be used as QSCB funds. He said
the bonds were at zero percent interest, and they were issued by the Local Education Agency
(LEA). Miller said an application, with a deadline of July 31, 2009, had to be submitted to
receive the school system's nearly $2.7 million in funds. He said the funding would be used for
the Phase III project at Union Grove Elementary School, and this was one of three projects
recommended by the Facilities Task Force. Miller said the other two projects were the
Career/Auto Tech Center and the Cool Spring Elementary project. He said the latter project was
much more involved and would need more money while the Union Grove project could be
completed by using the QSCB funds along with some of the system's fund balance.
Additionally, he said Iredell-Statesville might be eligible to receive more QSCB funds if other
systems throughout the state chose not to apply.
OTIO by Commissioner Keadle approve the request.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Request from the Iredell-Statesville School System for Approval to Purchase
Property at 350 Old Murdock Road in Troutman, NC (former Thomasville Plant) Along
with Approval to Submit an Application to the State Public School Building Capital Fund
& the North Carolina Education Lottery for Funding to Purchase the Property:
Dr. Kenny Miller said the school system had been "very frugal," and the commissioners had
assisted with school improvements over the past few years. He said Public School Building
Capital Funds as well as Education Lottery funds were being held in Raleigh for Iredell-
Statesville; however, the funds were strictly to be used for school property purchases or
renovation. Miller said in the past, discussions had occurred about the need for a career technical
program, along with expansion of the auto tech program. He said the school system had tried to
find the right location and property for this type of facility during the past five years, and there
was now an option to purchase the former Thomasville Plant site on Old Murdock Road in
Troutman. Dr. Miller requested approval from the commissioners to apply for the Public School
Building Capital Funds and Education Lottery funds for the property purchase. He said the
school system had accumulated enough funding to where there would not be any debt service.
Miller said the board of education on July 13, 2009 agreed to submit the application, and
approval was now needed from the board of commissioners.
OTIO by Commissioner Keadle to approve the request.

Commission for a Gang Intelligence Officer. He said the county would partner with the
6
Statesville Police Department on the officer's salary, and a 12.5% cash match would be needed.
Phillips said the sheriff's department would provide an in-kind match by providing office space.

Request to Call for a Public Hearing on August 4, 2009 at 7:00 P.M., Regarding the
North Carolina Department of Transportation's FY 2010 Rural Operating Assistance
Program (ROAP) Grant Application: Transportation Director Ben Garrison requested a
hearing at the next board meeting to allow the public to speak regarding ROAP funds for 2010.
He said the application format was a little different in that a certification statement had to be
signed by the board chairman and county manager. Garrison said that when the funds were first
budgeted, it was anticipated there would be a decrease; however, $337,405 might be available,
which was actually an increase. He said that if the General Assembly passed the state budget as
proposed, a budget amendment would be necessary to recognize the increased funds.
