Mr. Alan R. Eisele Presents a Petition from Concerned Citizens Requesting
the Reconsideration of the Decision to Locate the New Library at the Meeting &
Front Street Location: Mr. Eisele said he was presenting a petition that had been
signed by nearly 2,000 county citizens who were concerned about locating the new
library at the Meeting and Front Street location. The caption of the petition read:
"Petition to Reconsider Construction of the Iredell Countv Library at the Meeting Street
Location.- This is a petition addressed to Members of Council of the City of Statesville and to Countv
Commissioners of Iredell County. The undersigned citizens and residents of Iredell County and of the
City of Statesville, for a number of compelling reasons, are opposed to locating the Iredell County
Library upon the site selected at the corner of South Meeting and West Front Streets in the City of
Statesville. We hereby petition the two governing bodies to re -open consideration of site selection for said
library and to receive additional public input within the context of official public hearings before each
body. Since facts now available to the public regarding the selected site were not available at the times of
previous public hearings, this procedure is necessary to allow meaningful public input on this important
issue. "
Eisele said the circumstances surrounding the library issue had changed since he
first made a request to appear before the board. He said that "last Friday morning the city
council passed a resolution offering the county a sum of money intended to enable the
county to build the new library upon some site within the downtown business area."
Eisele said the resolution did not specify a site, or that it was being made "in lieu of the
city's offer to provide the county a `buildable' site at the corner of Front and Meeting
Street." He said that, however, at the council's meeting on September 16, 2002, Mayor
Marshall deleted an agenda item that would have addressed the inter -local agreement
pertaining to the Front and Meeting Street site. Mr. Eisele said the petition was being
presented since the county had not officially addressed the latest developments of the
city. He said his group was requesting the county to officially abandon the Front and
Meeting Street site as had the city.
OTION by Commissioner Williams to accept the mayor's, and the Statesville
City Council's, offer of $1,000,000 along with any other donations that have been
received on behalf of the effort to place the Iredell County Library in downtown
Statesville. In receiving this gift, we the board of the county commissioners, agree to
withdraw from any previous agreement concerning the proposed site on Meeting Street.
After an appropriate examination, and by determining the site to be suitable, we agree to
use our resources along with those gifts of the city, and any other benefactors, on the
parcels of land on Water and Tradd Street for the construction of a new Iredell County
Library.
Commissioner Johnson said there had been a great deal of controversy over the
library. He continued by saying:
"Approximately 16 months ago, I was asked by this board of commissioners to approach the city
council members concerning their desire to participate with the county financially in the construction of a
new Iredell County Library. I went to those folks individually and talked to most of them and was satisfied
that at that time, we had a majority of support from the members of city council for their financial
participation for the county library. Subsequent to that, came the state budget debacle -- an ongoing
continuing mismanagement of the state budget. Understanding the predicament they found themselves in,
since the commissioners were in a similar situation, I re -approached those members of the council and told
them we understood their plight, and that we would postpone any action on the library due to the financial
uncertainty as far as reimbursements from the state. At that point, 1 was thanked by each one I contacted
for my understanding and the understanding of the other commissioners. Later on, Mr. Godfrey Williams
approached the city council when financial matters had improved to some degree about the possible
participation from the city on the financing of the library. Mr. Williams was told `no.' As a commissioner
2
and as a member of the board of commissioners we must respect that. They know their financial
conditions better than we do. If no is no, I'll honor that as I'm sure the rest of this board will do.
Honorable people would do this. Subsequent to that, came the possibility of placing the library on Eastside
Drive. An occurrence that was unbeknown to anyone on this board previously. There became some
serious discussion on this board's part on locating the library on Eastside Drive, but there was never any
formal action -- merely discussion. But as is usually the case, rumors abound, and it wasn't long before the
city council heard we were talking about Eastside Drive. We were approached by the city about the
possibility of allowing them to participate financially in the Iredell County Library, which we were more
than happy to discuss at that point. There was never any action by this commissioner or any other
commissioner that I know of who tried to use Eastside Drive as a leverage to gain financial participation
for the county. Nevertheless, we were approached. Later on, there was an appearance before the board of
commissioners. At that meeting, there was not a presentation on a specific site, but two sites were
discussed, that being Stockton Street and the site at Front and Meeting Street as Mr. Eisele referred to a
moment ago. It was commented in the city council meeting that at some point the county had been offered
seven different sites for the library by city council. That did not happen. There were only two sites that I
know of that were ever offered. I know of no staff member who ever heard of seven sites. I haven't talked
to any commissioner who ever heard of seven sites. At the end of the discussion we were somewhat
hesitant. We gave the charge to the city at that time to come back with a `buildable' site. The county did
not choose Meeting Street, the city council chose it, and presented it to us as a `buildable' site. Now the
debate at that time became couched in the terms of Eastside Drive versus downtown. Several
commissioners, other than myself, made the comment that they were not prone to vote either way, but they
wanted room for expansion of the library, adequate parking, and a `buildable' site. At a reappearance
before this board, the city offered Meeting Street, and this board in a three/two vote accepted Meeting
Street. Mr. Bowles and I voted against Meeting Street, and in the meeting, I listed the reasons why I voted
like I did -- the closing of Meeting Street as far as a commercial and emergency corridor, problems with
underground springs, and pollution. What has brought us to this point was the city's withdrawal of the
offer. My understanding was that this was because of the degree of contamination on the Raymer property.
By State standards, a site is deemed to be what they call `hot' if there are 50 parts per million. The Raymer
property has 2800 parts per million, and it is stated there would have to be monitoring wells that would
have to be continually monitored for stability of the site and to see if any additional pollution had occurred.
I understand that in the conducting of county business it is necessary for the commissioners to be
magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat; however, I will take a departure from my magnanimity for
one moment and say, `I told you so.' So the city realized the great expense that they would incur ongoing,
and subsequently, they withdrew the offer on Meeting Street. As a result of this, 1 am more than happy to
support Mr. Williams' motion to release them from this offer they have made. 1 say those remarks not to
offend anyone, but in the age in which we live, there are always folks willing to rewrite history. But that's
the history of this great saga. Thank you for your indulgence Madame Chairman."
Commissioner Bowles said the motion was well crafted, and he believed it was
best for the county to return to the original site, especially since there would be enough
money for expansion, for the grading, and for ample parking.
Chairman Tice commended Mr. Eisele and the citizens for their involvement. She
said this was truly the democratic process in motion. Tice said, "we had the property on
Eastside Drive, then the citizens said `no,' we want it downtown, so we proceeded to work
with the city on a suitable site. I had given my word to the council that if they came back
with a suitable site, one that our architect approved, that I would support it. As the
different citizens called me about this situation, my response to them was that they needed
to talk to the city council because it was in their court. I think all of the commissioners on
this board are eager to build a new library, we know we need a new library, but certainly,
we want to please the citizens as to the location. It has taken some time, as Mr. Johnson
pointed out, but I believe that maybe we have come to a conclusion that is acceptable to
most of the county's citizens."
Commissioner Ray said, "I am in support of Mr. Williams' motion. I, too, think
this has been a real democratic process. I will say, that I'm going to let Mr. Johnson offer
his own history, because I have a little different version than he does."
Commissioner Williams said the debate was now over, and it was time for everyone
to become involved in the library project. Williams said the county had budgeted
$5,600,000.00, and the city was going to put in $1,250,000. He requested the business
community and private citizens to become involved.
Commissioner Johnson asked Support Services Director Jim Vernon if the site
would have adequate parking and room for expansion.
3
Vernon said absolutely. He said there were some areas on the site that would
accommodate increased parking and building expansion -- both in a single -story, or a two-
story facility.

A RESOLUTION REQUESTING
THE

DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW DRIVEWAY FOR THE

WHEREAS, a traffic congestion problem has been occurring for several years at
the Celeste Henkel Elementary School located at 1503 Old Mountain Road, Statesville,
North Carolina; and

------------------------------------------END OF CONSENT AGENDA ---------------------------
Request for Approval to Award the Contracts for the Iredell County
Government Center -South (ICGC-S) and to Adopt an Amended Capital Project
Ordinance: County Manager Mashburn said that on August 22, 2002, the county
received bids from 12 companies for the ICGC-S renovations. He said the bids were
"tight" indicating the bidders understood what was needed; however, the low bid was
$274,650 over the amount allocated for the project. Mashburn said a special meeting was
6
held on August 28 to discuss the bids, and a motion was approved to (1) put the project
on hold (2) ask for an extension on the loan (3) not re -bid until the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) had made a decision to rent from the
county (4) bid the two projects together (151/2nd floor and 3rd floor/DENR) and (5) raise
other money locally. Mashburn said the staff recently met to discuss the project and
determined that since DENR had not made a commitment, the matter needed to be
discussed again, because anymore delays would put the project into another calendar
year. He said this would have a negative impact on the interest rate, i.e., delaying the
financial issuance could cost the county additional payments of over $270,000 during the
next 15 years. He said the county could re -bid the project, but there were no assurances
that the bids would be less. Mashburn recommended that the board reconsider the
August 28 decision and award the contract for Phase I in accordance with the bids. He
did, however, recommend that the $100,000 in contingency be removed. He also
recommended that (1) value engineering changes be made ($38,000) (2) the contract be
awarded to the low bidder of Monteith in the amount of $1,448,900 (3) unspent funds
totaling $150,000 from the Agricultural Resource Center project and the Hall of Justice
Annex project be transferred to the ICGC-S Capital Project Fund, and (4) that an
amended Iredell County Government Capital Project Ordinance be adopted.
Commissioner Bowles said he understood there was a monetary deficiency of
$36,650 with Mr. Mashburn's recommendations. Bowles said he was disappointed that
more money locally could not be raised for the project.
Mashburn said the $36,650 was correct.
Commissioner Ray said it still wasn't too late to raise the additional funds from
the community. She asked Mr. Vernon about saving money as the project was being
accomplished, e.g., using one method over another to cut costs.
Vernon said the staff would try to use the most cost effective methods that could
be found.
MOTION by Commissioner Ray to transfer unspent funds of $150,000 from the
Agricultural Resource Center Capital Project Fund and the Hall of Justice Capital Project
Fund to the Iredell County Government Center — South Capital Project Fund and adopt
the amended Iredell County Government Center -South Capital Project Ordinance.
