"17_1177 Presentation from Anna Rice, Executive Director of the Council on Aging, Regarding the FY 2013-2014 Home & Community Care Block Grant for Older Adults Funding Plan: Mrs. Rice said the Council on Aging absorbed an $11,000 federal funding cut at the end of FY 13. She said other budget cuts ($17,000) would happen due to sequestration, and these were scheduled during the first quarter of this fiscal year. Rice said there were 29,000 people who were 60 years of age, or older, in Iredell County, and there were signs of significant growth. She said, however, the 80+ group was the fastest growing segment in the aging population. Rice said the county's aging population was diverse, and this necessitated the need for a wide range of services with many being provided by the Home and Community Care Block Grant. Rice said the grant funds required a minimum 10% local match, and by Iredell County providing this funding, $9 was provided for every $1 contributed. Commissioner Boone said that percentage wise the sequestration cuts were small; however, there was no flexibility in what programs could be reduced. He mentioned the county's share for the grant was included in the county's FY 13-14 budget. MOTION by Commissioner Boone to approve the FY 2013-2014 Home and Community Care Block Grant Funding Plan.

Consideration of a Possible Economic Development Incentive for the Pactiv Corporation or Project Coffee: Mooresville -South Iredell Economic Developer Robby Carney introduced Wayne Brown, the Plant Manager of the local Pactiv Corporation, and Kathy Mussio, the Managing Partner for Atlas Insight, a site consultant. Carney said the Pactiv Corporation planned to expand its existing facility within the Mooresville Business Park. He said the company was headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, and that Pactiv was a leader in food service and food packaging markets with products that supplied packers, processors, supermarkets, restaurants and food service outlets around the world. Carney said the company currently employed 212 full-time employees in Mooresville and over 850 statewide. He said the company planned to add 51 new full-time positions to the Mooresville location and invest $5.8 million in new machinery and equipment. Carney said the wages would be in excess of $33,000 per year and employee hiring, as well as capital expenditure, would begin as of August 2013 with completion of the expansion by December 2013. Mr. Carney said this expansion was in partnership with another Pactiv facility in Lenoir County, or Kinston, NC. He said the new investment in both counties would be $9 million with the total new jobs for both sites at 77. Carney said that in accordance with the Iredell County Industrial Incentive Policy, a request was being made for an incentive of $112,520 over a five-year period. No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to approve the $112,520 incentive, over a five-year period, based on a $5.8 million investment in Iredell County and contingent upon a contract being executed within 180 days. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Pactiv Plant Manager Wayne Brown thanked the board for supporting the company and for approval of the incentive. Chairman Johnson declared the meeting to be in a public hearing. Consideration of a Possible Economic Development Incentive for IOMAX USA, INC or Project Watch: Mooresville -South Iredell Economic Developer Robby Carney said IOMAX, headquartered in Iredell County, was a manufacturer and defense contractor providing a full spectrum of services for signals intelligence and airborne solutions. He said the company was expanding in the Mooresville area, and it supported the USA and allied governments worldwide in the use of state of the art wireless technologies. Carney said presently 65 full-time workers were employed with average wages in excess of $100,000 a year. He said IOMAX planned to (1) relocate its aircraft integration operations from Orlando, Florida to Iredell County (2) create 35 new full-time jobs with average wages in excess of $60,000 per year, plus benefits and (3) invest 2 $1.7 million over the next three years. Mr. Carney said there had been competition from Georgia and Florida (Orlando), and the state of North Carolina had identified this project as being important in strengthening the aviation and advanced manufacturing sector. He said the NC Department of Commerce had approved a One North Carolina Fund grant of $75,000 to insure the project occurred in Iredell County. Carney said a $75,000 match was needed for the grant, and a request was being made to the county for this amount. Mr. Carney said the county's $75,000 would be paid to IOMAX upon the hiring of 35 new full-time employees. No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the public hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to approve the $75,000 incentive with the funding to be used as a grant match with an outside agency and being contingent upon the company (IOMAX or Project Watch) investing $1.7 million in Iredell County and hiring 35 new full-time employees. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS Request from the Sheriffs Office for Approval to Apply for a 2013 Department of Justice (Bureau of Justice Assistance) Grant for $15,105: Sheriff's Crime Prevention Supervisor Rick Fades requested permission to apply for a $15,105 grant from the Bureau of Justice. He said the funding would be used for the sheriffs athletic league and to purchase training academy instructional materials. Commissioner Boone asked if the sheriffs office was restricted in the usage of the grant funds. Fades said there were a few restrictions. He said Captain Phillips and the sheriff reviewed the office's needs to determine the usage. Commissioner Boone said the sheriffs office was encouraged to obtain grants; however, he questioned whether or not the stated usage would be the most effective use of the funds. Eades said the athletic league had over 200 youth participants, and the program continued to grow. MOTION by Vice Chairman Norman to allow the Sheriff's Office to apply for the $15,105 grant. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Request from the Health Department for Approval to Add Lab Fees to the Clinical Services Fee Schedule: Interim Health Director Susan Johnson mentioned that usually when items were presented to the board of commissioners, they had already been approved by the board of health. She said, however, the board of health did not have a quorum at the last meeting, and the members in attendance agreed by consensus to two items. She said the items would again be shared with the board of health in August. Mrs. Johnson said the health department desired to provide more lab services to the public. She said there were over 4,000 possible lab tests, but only the most often ordered services would be added to the fee schedule. Mrs. Johnson said that if a patient came in and requested a service not on the schedule, the health department desired permission to add the lab test/fee at that time. She said the health director would be given permission to set fees for up to 90 days, and during that time, approval would be requested from the board of health and the board of commissioners. She said the local staff would (1) draw/package the labs (2) send the lab specimens to an outside lab for analysis and (3) know the actual costs at the time of service. MOTION by Commissioner Griffith to approve the added lab fees to the clinical services fee schedule. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. 3 Request from the Health Department for Approval of Revisions to the Fee Policy, the Clinical Services Fee Schedule, and the Environmental Health Fee Schedule: Interim Health Director Susan Johnson said each year approval from the board of health and board of commissioners was obtained for the fee schedules and policies. She said that with one exception, all of the changes in the fee policy were a result of a Women's Health Program audit where specific wording was requested. Mrs. Johnson said the one exception was on page 6, and it related to environmental health. She said environmental health had moved out of the primary location (Tumersburg Highway) to the Building Standards Building on North Center Street, and this had necessitated new wording. In regards to the fee schedule, Mrs. Johnson said revisions to clinical services fees were due to changes in costs and the addition of new services. Pertaining to revisions in fees for Environmental Health, she said these occurred to cover the costs of services already being provided. MOT10N by Commissioner Boone to approve the fee policy revisions as well as the clinical services fee schedule and the environmental health fee schedule. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. The fee policy changes (highlighted in yellow) are as follows Page 1 - IV. Procedure: Fee Schedule A schedule of fee amounts shall be established for specified public health department services and updated on, at least, an annual basis. Fees for services provided in clinical and dental programs are based on direct costs, current Medicaid rates, and/or the most current Medicaid Administrative cost information provided by NC DHHS DMA. In addition, rates set by other agencies in the area and surrounding counties are considered when setting fees. Environmental Health Fees are set based on costs considering: work hours, supplies, mileage, training equipment, overhead and other related costs. Fees charged by surrounding counties are also considered. Fees may be adjusted on insurance rates or other contracted packages of services in consideration of the cost of Page 2 — Fee charges Fees charged will be an established (flat) rate for certain services, including Environmental Health, General Clinic/, Miscellaneous Services, private pay vaccines, and community programs for Business and Industry. Fees for other services will be determined by applying a sliding scale based on family size and gross annual income to the fee schedule amount. Sliding scale fees will be charged on the basis of family income exceeding 100% of current Federal Poverty Guidelines (or other percent guidelines required by state or federal policy for applicable programs.) Family Planning requires the use of 101%-250% sliding scales. All other clinics use 101%-200% sliding scales. Minors requesting confidential services will be considered a family of one. Minors accompanied by a parent or legal guardian must provide income for the family and wit] be charged appropriately. Page 2-3408 Guidelines/Family Planning 340B GUIDELINES Family Planning Clients with insurance, Health Choice, and Medicaid are given a prescription for birth control methods, to be filled at a pharmacy of their choice (implantable and injectable birth control methods are excepted). Clients receiving implantable or injectable birth control are given 34013 -purchased supply, and insurance is billed according to Medicaid or other guidelines, to identify that 3406 - purchased birth control was used. Private pay clients are charged according to the facility sliding fee for all birth control methods. There is no charge to clients and insurance providers are not billed for medications given from STD or TB program 340B medication supply. DOCUMENTATION OF DISCOUNTS Eligibility for discounts is documented in the agency's Clinic Management Software System on the patient's Financial Screen. Exception (Family Planning): Anyone, including minors, requesting confidential services will be considered a family of one, based on their individual income. Minors accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian, who do not want the spouse of the parent/legal guardian to know they are a patient in Family Planning must provide income based on the patient and the parent that is accompanying the patient. Page 4 — EXCEPTION —FAMILY PLANNING To comply with Title X regulations, if patients do not present with acceptable forms of income documentation, we will accept self -declaration of income. Patients who will not self -declare will be given the option to be seen at 100% or reschedule their appointment. 4 Reported income through other programs offered in the agency, rather than re -verifying income or relying solely on a client's self-report, may be used. Page 5 - Payment Collection Responsibility Clerical staff from Clinical Services and Environmental Health will be primarily responsible for informing clients/patients of expectations and responsibility to pay prior to or at the time service is rendered. Fee balances for Environmental Health services rendered should be paid, and completed septic system permits should be secured, promptly by the customer. Permits are held for fee payment, signature, and pickup in the branch office where the permit was generated. Clinical Services clerical staff will confirm a patient's ability to pay prior to service delivery. Reasonable efforts to collect charges without jeopardizing client confidentiality will be made. Page 6 - Failure to Pay/Failure to Pickup Permits Once, at the beginning of each quarter, a certified, restricted delivery mailing will be sent to all customers with permits awaiting pickup in both Environmental Health department division branch offices locations. The number of permits, the total fees owed (including the postage for the certified, restricted delivery letter), and a 30 day pickup deadline will be clearly indicated in this mailing. One follow-up phone call will be attempted if the delivery receipt is not returned within 30 days. If there is no response to the phone call within 5 business days, the permit will be voided. Customers responding to the phone call will have 5 business days to pick up the permit. After that time, the permit will be voided. If both the mailing and phone contact are unsuccessful, the permit and all associated paperwork will be immediately voided, and all fees paid toward the work done will be non-refundable. Failure to pay charges, for rendered services, in full, at the time of service, constitutes a debt for reasonable collection, unless the department is billing other third party insurance. Any outstanding balances, after the collection of other third party insurance, will also constitute a debt for reasonable collection. Page 7 - Family Planning Family Planning services may not be restricted or denied to any clients. Fees are waived for Family Planning patients, who for good cause, are unable to pay, but do not qualify for a discount (SOD).

He said the three-year contract included a provision for two annual renewals. Commissioner Boone noted the contract only applied to residential shingles. He asked why commercial shingles were not included. Lambert said the reason was due to asbestos requirements of the state. Maymead Area Manager Mary Katherine Harbin said the highway contracting industry was governed by a number of state and federal agencies. She said the North Carolina Department of Environmental Resources governed the recycling programs for the highway contractors, and this agency had stipulated that only residential shingles could be recycled. Commissioner Griffith asked what happened to the commercial shingles. Lambert said they were placed in the landfill. Chairman Johnson said this might be a topic of conversation with General Assembly Member Rena Turner. MOTION by Commissioner Griffith to approve the Maymead Materials contract. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Request for Approval/Execution of a Transfer of Easement Agreement in Conjunction with the West Industrial Park Road & Rail Spur: Code Enforcement Director Lynn Niblock said previously a road and rail easement was approved in association with the West Industrial Park project. He said the project was now finished, and a request was being made for the easement to be transferred back to the original owners (heirs in the Roy C. West Sr. estate). MOTION by Vice Chairman Norman to approve the easement agreement associated with the West Industrial Park Road and Rail Spur. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Request from the Planning, Development & Transportation Services Department to Call for a Public Hearing on August 6, 2013, at 7:00 PM, in Regards to a Request by B.V. Belk Jr, to Release Zoning and Subdivision Jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville (Subject Property is on the South Side of Hwy. 150 West in Mooresville): Planning, Development and Transportation Director Joey Raczkowski said Mr. B.V. Belk Jr. had requested a release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville for 24.47 acres. Raczkowski said there would probably be similar requests in the future, especially in the areas south of Troutman. He said the actual request at this time was to call for a public hearing on August 6. Raczkowski then reviewed some sections of the staff report as follows: EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST B. V. Belk, Jr. has requested the release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction of a 24.47 acre property to the Town of Mooresville. The proposed use of the property is multi -family residential. Mr. Belk is requesting the release in order to get water and sewer from the Town of Mooresville, due to unfavorable soil characteristics on the property for septic systems. OWNER/APPLICANT OWNER: B.V. Belk Jr. 204-C W. Woodlawn Road Charlotte, N.C. 28217 11 PROPERTY INFORMATION LOCATION: On the south side of Hwy 150 West in Mooresville; more specifically identified as PIN # 4637-48-3781. DIRECTIONS: I-77 South to Hwy 150 exit and turn right, go past Perth Road, the property is on the left past Berea Baptist Church. SURROUNDING LAND USE: This property is surrounded by multi -family residential uses to the west, vacant land to the north, a church and vacant land to the east, and Lake Norman High School to the south. SIZE: The property is 24.47 acres. EXISTING LAND USE: The parcel is currently vacant. ZONING HISTORY: This property was rezoned from R -A (Residential Agricultural) to GB CUD (General Business Conditional Use District) on June 3, 1997. The condition added was that all uses in the GB district be permitted, except for the following: • automotive repair garages; • bottling works, bus repair and storage terminals; • circuses and carnivals; • contractor offices; • dairy products processing and distributing facilities; • farm machinery assembly, sales and repair, lumber yards; • building material storage and sales; • tire recapping shops; • trucking terminals, transfer companies; and • wholesale storage of gasoline and oil products. OTHER JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: This property is located just inside Mooresville's short range USA boundary. On May 6, 2013, the Town of Mooresville Board of Commissioners approved water and sewer extension to the property, but due to town policy, the property will not be considered for annexation in June 2014. The Town Planning staff has submitted a letter of acknowledgement regarding the request and is in support of the request for water and sewer extension only. This area is proposed for commercial uses in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan adopted by the Town of Mooresville. The Mooresville Planning staff would not comment on the proposed use of high density residential without having a proposed development plan, except to say that "there may be a way to integrate some multi -family in with a mixed use project." OTHER SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This property is located in the Catawba/Lake Norman WSIV-CA water supply watershed; therefore, the maximum impervious area permitted is 50 percent. IMPACTS ON LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND/OR FACILITES TRAFFIC: In 2010, the average number of vehicles per day on River Highway was 35,000. The capacity for this section of River Highway is 12,000 vehicles per day. SCHOOLS: Based on the information provided, there is no way to determine how many residential units will be constructed when the property is developed. This area will be served by Lakeshore Elementary, Lakeshore Middle, and Lake Norman High School. At this time, Lake Norman High School is closed to students outside of their school boundary and Lakeshore Elementary is on a watch list due to capacity. Lakeshore Middle is not close to capacity. STAFF COMMENTS STAFF COMMENTS: From a Planning perspective, this release does not meet the criteria for release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction. The property is identified for future commercial uses in the 2030 Horizon Plan as well as the Town of Mooresville's comprehensive plan. The Town 12 Planning staff cannot give a recommendation supporting the request without a proposed development plan. Combined with the capacity concerns at two of the three schools that serve this area, as well as the fact that River Highway is already over capacity, there is some cause for concern with this request. Therefore, the Planning staff recommends that the Board deny the request for release of jurisdiction, but there are two options as follows. Option# 1: Motion to call for a public hearing on August 6, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. to consider a release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville by B.V. Belk, Jr. Option #2: Motion to deny the public hearing request to consider a release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville by B.V. Belk, Jr. Commissioner Griffith asked if the property would automatically be annexed to the Town of Mooresville in June of 2014. Raczkowski said this was the understanding. Griffith said that by not approving the request, the county commissioners would only be delaying the process by a year. Raczkowski said that if the county approved the request, the developer could start working with the Town earlier. Griffith asked why the county would want to hinder the company from its plans, especially if the annexation would occur in the future. Raczkowski said that from a planning perspective, a multifamily usage in this particular area would not be a good fit. He said it would add to the issues (over -crowded schools, congested roadways) the county struggled with five or six years ago. Griffith mentioned that once the property was released to Mooresville the county had no control over the zoning. Raczkowski said correct. Chairman Johnson said he was on the board when the policy was implemented regarding the need to hold public hearings before any zoning/subdivision jurisdiction releases occurred. He said prior to the public hearing requirement, many adjoining property owners were not aware of a developer's plans. Johnson said many complaints were received from nearby property owners because they were not notified. Griffith said many businesses had been affected by the economy, and she did not want to take steps that might hinder business or the creation of jobs, especially if an annexation would occur in 11 months. She said, however, input from adjoining property owners would be of interest. Chairman Johnson said he agreed there should be a public hearing, but he was concerned about what could occur on the property. Raczkowski said that if the county released the property, the Town could make many independent decisions regarding the land usage. Commissioner Boone mentioned concerns about not knowing the plans for the property, and the possibility of high density development. Boone said property owners should have every right to use their property as they wished, but there were concerns about the potential of allowing several hundred new residences on 25 acres where the schools were overcrowded and there were traffic problems. Boone said that even if the board denied the request Mooresville could annex the property. He mentioned no objection to holding a public hearing, but stated that high density residential usage on the site would be poor planning. Continuing, he said the releases were beneficial to the municipalities as they could collect utility bills from the residents, but unfortunately, the cities and towns did not pay for the schools. Mr. Boone said that if this request were approved, there would be similar ones in the future, and the county would have to pay for more schools. 13 OTION by Commissioner Griffith to call for a public hearing on August 6, 2013, at 7:00 PM, in regards to the B.V. Belk Jr. request for the release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville for the 24.47 acres. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Request to Approve a Contract with Mr. Matthew Williard to Operate a Food Vending Stand at the Hall of Justice: Deputy County Manager Tracy Jackson requested approval of a contract to allow Matthew Williard to operate a food stand at the Hall of Justice. Jackson said Williard would situate the stand to the left of the Hall of Justice near Constitution Drive. He said other vendors had operated these types of food stands in the past. Commissioner Boone asked if any food vendors were at the site now. Jackson said no. OTION by Commissioner Griffith to approve the food vending stand contract with Mr. Williard. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Request for Consideration/Approval of a Resolution Making Certain Findings Regarding the Proposed Financing of Certain Outstanding Debt: Finance Director Blumenstein said it had been determined the county could have a net present value savings of about $1.8 million if certain past debt obligations were refinanced. She said it would take about 90 days before any refinancing could go to the market. Blumenstein recommended for the process to begin even though the county might decide not to proceed with the refinancing if the interest rates were unacceptable. She said the first step would be to adopt a resolution that (1) called for a public hearing (2) called for the filing of an application with the Local Government Commission and (3) called for the appointments of institutions and firms necessary for the bonds. Blumenstein said the sole purpose of the refinancing would be to save money on interest. She said that if the county refunded one, or all of the projects, it might be possible to remove some of the outstanding collateral included in the deed of trust. Blumenstein said the refunding interest rate would not be known until the day the deal was priced, and this would be early October. She said, however, documents would periodically be presented to the board as the refunding progressed. Blumenstein noted that the refunding would not require a tax increase. She said the Local Government Commission required a 3% (cumulative) net present value savings to move ahead. Blumenstein suggested for the county to require the savings to be at 3% for a cumulative deal, or at least 2.5%, for an individual refunding. She said this would eliminate the county from obligating itself into any deals that were not beneficial. Chairman Johnson asked if the county would be limited as to when it could exercise the refunding option. He said it was felt that interest rates would continue to increase and the savings would diminish. Johnson asked if the option could be maintained until the interest rates started to decrease again. Blumenstein said the Local Government Commission approval was good for one year. She said that if the deal were cancelled near the day of pricing, due to the rates being too high, this was acceptable, and all of the professionals involved (institutions/firms) would not be paid. Ms. Blumenstein briefly highlighted the past debt obligations that might be included in the refunding. (All of these are outlined in the resolution on the next page.) Commissioner Boone said a debt limitation policy was approved in March, but there was an exception for the refinancing or refunding of debt. He mentioned that several of the bonds were for educational projects, and under the current funding formula, the school systems would benefit from the refinancing, if it occurred. (The resolution regarding the refinancing is as follows.) 14 RESOLUTION MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED REFINANCING OF CERTAIN OUTSTANDING INSTALLMENT FINANCING OBLIGATIONS OF THE COUNTY AND REQUESTING THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION TO APPROVE THE FINANCING ARRANGEMENT BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") for the County of Iredell, North Carolina (the "County") as follows: Section 1. The Board does hereby find and determine as follows: (a) There exists in the County a need to refinance certain installment financing obligations of the County evidenced by (i) an Installment Financing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2003, between the County and Iredell County Public Facilities Corporation, relating to Certificates of Participation (Iredell County Public Facilities Projects), Series 2003, dated December 15, 2003, the proceeds of which were used to finance the costs of (A) additions and renovations to Scotts Elementary School and Harmony Elementary School, (B) the acquisition, construction and equipping of a new elementary school and new intermediate school, and (C) an addition to Mitchell Community College; (ii) an Installment Financing and Security Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2004, between the County and SouthTrust Bank, N.A. (as succeeded by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), the proceeds of which were used to finance the costs of (A) a facility to house the offices, vehicles and equipment of the Iredell County Rescue Squad and (B) a fully -equipped 2000 Pierce Heavy Rescue Vehicle; (iii) an Installment Financing Agreement (2004 Department of Social Services Building), dated October 28, 2004, between the County and Bank of America, N.A., the proceeds of which were used to finance the costs of the acquisition and construction of an office building for the Iredell County Department of Social Services; (iv) a Second Supplemental Installment Financing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2008, supplementing and amending an Installment Financing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2000, as amended, each between the County and Iredell County Public Facilities Corporation, relating to Iredell County Public Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds (Iredell County School Projects), Series 2008, dated November 21, 2008, the proceeds of which were used to refund a series of prior bonds and pay the costs of terminating an interest rate swap agreement relating thereto; and (v) an Installment Financing Contract (Build America Bonds), dated December 18, 2009, between the County and PNC Bank (as successor to RBC Bank (USA)), the proceeds of which were used to finance the construction and equipping of a classroom building for Mitchell Community College and an additional building for Union Grove Elementary School (collectively, the "Prior Indebtedness"). (b) The Board has determined to consider a plan of finance to refinance all or a portion of the Prior Indebtedness by entering into a Master Trust Agreement, expected to be dated as of October 1, 2013 (the "Master Trust Agreement'), and a First Supplemental Trust Agreement, expected to be dated as of October 1, 2013 (the "First Supplemental Trust Agreement' and, together with the Master Trust Agreement, the "Trust Agreement'), each between the County and a corporate trustee to be determined (the "Trustee"), to provide for the issuance of limited obligation bonds thereunder in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $46,000,000 (the "Bonds") to provide funds, together with any other available funds, to (a) pay the costs of refinancing all or a portion of the Prior Indebtedness and (b) pay certain other costs incurred in connection with the sale and issuance of the Bonds. (c) In order to secure its obligations under the Trust Agreement, the County will execute and deliver a deed of trust (the "Deed of Trust'), granting a lien on all or a portion of the sites of the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Prior Indebtedness, together with any existing and all future improvements and fixtures located or to be located thereon. (d) It is in the best interest of the County to enter into the Trust Agreement and the Deed of Trust in that such plan of finance will result in providing financing for the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness in an efficient and cost effective manner. (e) Entering into the Trust Agreement is preferable to a general obligation bond and revenue bond issue in that (i) the County does not have sufficient constitutional authority to issue non -voted general obligation bonds pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the North Carolina Constitution because the County has not retired a sufficient amount of debt in the preceding fiscal year to issue a sufficient amount of general obligation bonds for the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness without an election; (ii) the nature of the financing does not allow for the issuance of revenue bonds to finance the refinancing of the Prior 15 Indebtedness; (iii) the cost of the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness exceeds the amount to be prudently provided from currently available appropriations and unappropriated fund balances; (iv) the circumstances existing require that funds be available to commence construction of the Project as soon as practicable and the time required for holding an election for the issuance of voted general obligation bonds pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the North Carolina Constitution and the Local Government Bond Act will delay the commencement of the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness by several months; and (v) there can be no assurances that the issuance of general obligation bonds to finance the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness would be approved by the voters and the necessity of the refinancing dictates that the refinancing be financed by a method that assures that the Project will be constructed in an expedient manner. (f) Based upon information provided to the Board, the costs of the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness described above is reasonably comparable to the costs associated with other alternative means of financing and is acceptable to the Board. (g) Bond counsel to the County will render an opinion to the effect that the proposed undertaking as described above is authorized by law and is a purpose for which public funds may be expended pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of North Carolina. (h) The debt management policies of the County have been carried out in strict compliance with law, and the County is not in default under any obligation for repayment of borrowed money. (i) No tax rate increase is anticipated to be necessary to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds. Section 2. The Board hereby ratifies and approves the filing of an application with the Local Government Commission for approval of the Bonds and the Trust Agreement and requests the Local Government Commission to approve the Bonds and the Trust Agreement and the proposed financing in connection therewith. Section 3. The law firm of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, LLP is hereby appointed to serve, but solely at the pleasure of the Board, as bond counsel to the County in connection with the transactions described herein. Section 4. First Southwest Company is hereby appointed to serve, but solely at the pleasure of the Board, as financial advisor to the County in connection with the transactions described herein. Section 5. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated is hereby appointed to serve, but solely at the pleasure of the Board, as senior underwriter in connection with the transactions described herein. Section 6. In accordance with Section 160A -20(g) of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Board hereby fixes 7:00 p.m. on August 6, 2013 in the Commissioners' Meeting Room of the Iredell County Government Center located at 200 South Center Street in Statesville, North Carolina, as the hour, day and place for the public hearing on the proposed Trust Agreements and the Bonds to refinance the Prior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $46,000,000, and the Board hereby directs the Clerk to the Board to publish notice of such public hearing once in the Statesville Record & Landmark not later than the 10'h day before said date.
