increase the likelihood of criminal behavior, substance abuse, health problems such as heart disease and obesity,
and risky behavior such as smoking; and

in all areas of their lives — at home, in school, and in the community — offering them the opportunity to grow up
to be caring, contributing members of the community; and

citizens, social service agencies, schools, faith communities, civic organizations, law enforcement agencies, and
the business community.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners hereby
proclaims April as Child Abuse Prevention Month and calls upon all citizens, community agencies, faith groups,
medical facilities, elected leaders and businesses to increase their participation in the efforts to support families,
thereby preventing child abuse and strengthening the communities in which we live.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Johnson declared the meeting to be in a public hearing.
Consideration of an Economic Development Incentive for an Undisclosed Company
(Project Skybrook): Economic Developer John Marek, with the Greater Statesville Development
Corporation, said a Troutman company was considering a major expansion consisting of a 20,000 sq.
foot addition, along with the creation of three manufacturing production lines, and the creation of 35 new
jobs. Marek said the project, known as Skybrook, would have a total capital investment of $10 million
($1 million for construction costs and $9 million for capital equipment/fixtures) over a two-year period.
Marek recommended that Project Skybrook receive an incentive of $142,000.00 over a five-year period.
Commissioner Griffith asked what happened if the company failed to meet the commitments.
Marek said the company would pay its taxes, and assuming all of the criteria had been met, it
would apply for an 80% tax rebate. He said that if the company did not comply with the guidelines, the
rebate wasn't paid.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the hearing.
OTION by Commissioner Mitchell to approve the $142,000 incentive, over a five-year period,
based on the company's investment of $10 million and contingent upon an agreement being executed
within 180 days.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Chairman Johnson declared the meeting to be in a public hearing.
Consideration of a Hazardous Materials Response Ordinance: Deputy County Manager
Tracy Jackson said the Town of Mooresville was requesting an addition to the Iredell County Code for
the purpose of allowing the Mooresville Fire Department to recover costs associated with Hazardous
Materials Response. He said the Mooresville Fire Department was the lead Iredell County agency in
providing the appropriately trained and equipped hazardous materials technicians for responses to
chemical spills and leaks. Jackson said the ordinance would allow the Mooresville Fire Department to
invoice responsible parties for the fire department responses, and this would help cover the costs for paid
personnel and equipment/supplies used during each incident.
(Chief Wes Green, with the Mooresville Fire Department, was in attendance at the meeting but
did not speak.)
Commissioner Griffith asked if the costs were only for the clean up.
Jackson said the clean up would have a separate cost. He said the ordinance would allow the fire
department to recover its operating costs (hourly wages, equipment/supplies used for the incident), and
another company, usually a private firm, would provide the clean up.
Commissioner Griffith asked if Mooresville responded to requests throughout the entire county.
3
Jackson said there was an agreement to allow Mooresville to provide these types of services for
the entire county. He said Federal Homeland Security grant funding was used to purchase the
specialized equipment.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson declared the public hearing closed.

Iredell County Fire Marshal Ronny Thompson and Iredell County Fire Tax Board Chairman Frank

Commissioner Griffith asked if the current rating was at a nine (9).
Thompson said yes.

VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
Request for the Authorization to Demolish a Boiler Building at the Iredell County
Government Center -South (ICGC-S) and for a Waiver of the Associated Solid Waste Tipping
Fees: Purchasing Agent Dean Lail said that when the Iredell County Government Center -South (ICGC-
S) was purchased, an older boiler building containing two boilers was at the rear of the property. He said
the building had already been disconnected from the ICGC-S heating element, and it had fallen into
disrepair making it subject to vandalism. Lail said it was felt the area could be better used as open space,
or for parking, and the staff was requesting authorization to demolish the building. He said a local
company had submitted a proposal to provide the demolition work and to remove the asbestos for
$20,270. Continuing, Lail said the board had previously authorized the demolition of an old EMS bay
(modular unit) behind the boiler builder, and the company could demolish both structures. Lail also
asked the board for permission to waive the tipping fees for the construction and demolition debris
disposal at the landfill.
Commissioner Griffith asked if the company (TERRY LYNN) was asbestos certified.
Lail said yes, and the company had provided this type of service for several years.
Griffith asked if the boiler building was in such bad disrepair that it couldn't wait another year.
Lail said it probably could; however, it was felt this was the best time monetarily to demolish the
structure.
Griffith asked where the funds would be derived for the demolition.
Lail said janitorial contracts were recently re -bid and savings resulted, plus there were funds
remaining in the Facility Services budget that could be used.

Request from the Town of Troutman for Approval of an Easement Agreement in
Conjunction with the Construction of a Greenway Across the Fairgrounds Property: Assistant
County Manager Ron Smith said the Town of Troutman was trying to acquire an easement across the
county fairgrounds to assist in the expansion of a greenway that currently ended at the Old Murdock
Road. Smith said the Town desired to remove existing railroad tracks and build an asphalt trail. He said
the Carolina Thread Trail had determined that an extension of the greenway was a priority project, and
private funds could be used. Smith said the Lowes Corporation had contributed $250,000 for future trail
projects in Iredell County, and Troutman had requested $150,000. He said first, however, property
easements had to be acquired.
Troutman Planner Erika Martin said the existing 0.9 mile Richardson Greenway extended along a
former rail corridor between Eastway Drive and Hwy. 21. She said the greenway expansion would
continue to follow the rail corridor, but it would become more scenic as it steered away from traffic.
Martin said the proposed 10 foot wide multi -use asphalt greenway would extend 0.8 miles and include a
20 -foot easement. She said Carolina Thread Trail construction funds of $150,000 would be requested,
and the Town would provide the signage, for example, "street crossing."
Troutman Mayor Elbert Richardson said there had been many citizen requests for the current
greenway to be extended, and property had been purchased for extension to the south. He said an
ultimate goal would be through Barium Springs (underground tunnel) to South Iredell High.
Chairman Johnson said that with the greenway proposal, there had been concerns about the
marketability of the fairgrounds if the county ever decided to sell the land. He asked Attorney Pope if
the county would be better off approving an easement or a right of way.
Attorney Pope said there wouldn't be a substantial difference.
Johnson asked if there might be a method to grant Troutman's request, while at the same time
having a mechanism stipulating the greenway would be re-routed, if needed, by subsequent owners. He
also mentioned that the land between the proposed greenway and road wasn't owned by the county.
Commissioner Mitchell said future owners of the fairgrounds might want to close the area off.
He asked if the county could agree to allow Troutman to use the property now; however, in the future
there might be other uses.
Attorney Pope said the county could impose conditions, for example, (1) the easement might
only exist for a certain number of years (2) the easement could exist until revoke (3) the easement might
be good until there was a 60 day notice before termination or (4) the easement would allow the county to
cross the property at any time.
Chairman Johnson asked if the crossing rights could be transferrable to future fairgrounds
owners. He asked the Troutman officials if they had any problems with this type of arrangement.
Troutman Planner Martin said there would be no problems, and that Barium Springs had
expressed similar language.
6
Troutman Mayor Richardson said crossing rights would be preferred over having a set time, as in
five years, for the easement.
Commissioner Mitchell said the roadway, during the county fair, was very congested. He asked
if pedestrians would have the right of way in crossing the trail.
Richardson said pedestrians already had the right of way, and when the fair was held, all of the
Troutman police assisted at the event.
Martin said the greenway would actually benefit the pedestrians walking to the fair.
Commissioner Griffith asked how far the greenway would be extended with the $150,000.
Martin said the greenway would just about be doubled.
Commissioner Griffith asked if the Town anticipated any damage from vehicles crossing over the
greenway.
Martin said this should not be a problem.
Griffith asked if the project would be placed on hold if no funding was received from the
Carolina Thread Trail. She also asked if the Troutman officials would approach the county for financial
assistance if no funds came from the thread trail.
(Response from the Town officials was inaudible.)
Griffith asked if any functions or groups would be affected by the easement's approval.
Richardson said no.
Attorney Pope asked the width of the county property where the driveway crossed.
Smith said approximately 250 feet.
Attorney Pope asked Smith if there would be any problems with the county retaining a 60 ft.
crossing easement.
Smith said he didn't think so.
Attorney Pope asked about any extra costs that might be incurred as a result of ramping up the
crosswalk and ramping it back down.
Martin said the fees for the ramp were already included -- there would be no county fees.
Chairman Johnson asked if Troutman would be willing to place temporary signs to warn walkers
when there were all day fairgrounds events. He said this would provide a warning that the walkers
needed to watch for traffic.
The Troutman officials said they would be willing to accept this (temporary signs) as a condition.
MOTION by Chairman Johnson to approve the request with the following conditions:
1. Any crossing rights possessed by the county now will be transferrable in the event the
property is sold (crossing rights will be transferrable to a subsequent property owner).
2. During events, there will be some type of signage set out and provided by the Town of
Troutman to alert people that motor traffic will be crossing the Thread Trail.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.

Request for Approval of a Resolution to Continue Participation, as a Non -Active
Member, of the Cabarrus/Iredell/Rowan HOME Consortium: Assistant County Manager Ron
Smith said (1) the HOME consortium program was established in 1996, (2) it existed due to a federal
entitlement program, and (3) Iredell County had been a non-active member since 1996. He said
consortium provided affordable housing to low and moderate income residents of Cabarrus, Rowan and
Iredell Counties. Smith said it was required for Iredell County to be a member in order for local
municipalities to participate. He said the entire region in 2011 received over $1.2 million from the
program, and this included $103,000 for Statesville and $86,893 for Mooresville. Smith said a
resolution was needed to participate in the consortium, but no money would be required.
Commissioner Griffith asked, assuming the resolution passed, if the county would remain in the
non-active status.
Smith said yes, unless the board directed him to change the status.
Griffith said an active status required a 25% match.
Smith said this was correct.
Griffith said she understood there was no fee for an inactive status.
Smith said this was correct.
OTION by Commissioner Mitchell to approve the Cabarrus/Iredell/Rowan HOME Consortium
resolution.

Request to Call for a Public Hearing on April 19, 2011 Regarding a Proposed Federal
Transit Administration Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled Grant to be Submitted through the
North Carolina Department of Transportation: Transportation Director Ben Garrison said this grant
would begin on July 1, 2011 and expire on June 30, 2013. He said the purpose of the grant would be to
provide new or expanded services for the elderly and disabled. Garrison said there were increasing
concerns about funding cuts in the Rural Operating Assistance Program, which provided the local match
for this particular grant, and if this occurred, the only alternative would be to reduce services. Garrison
said the two-year $150,000 elderly and disabled grant would consist of 50% federal funds and 50% local
(ROAP funds).
MOTION by Commissioner Griffith to call for a public hearing on April 19 regarding the grant.

transportation for low-income workers, and from July 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011, over 19,000
miles had been provided. He said the $200,000 grant would be 50% federal funds and 50% local.

Request for Approval of a Property Owner's Offer to Sell Parcel #4754849142.000 for
$26,510 plus Closing Costs: Solid Waste Director David Lambert said a property owner had
approached him about selling a tract of land adjacent to the old landfill. Lambert said the purchase
would be beneficial as it would increase the county's buffer area. He said the owners had offered to sell
the property at $3,250 an acre, and it consisted of 8.16 acres.
OTION by Commissioner Mitchell to accept the owner's offer and to purchase the property.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 0.
