~~ meeting the council had asked legal counsel to compile a letter to send to the residents of the Young addition in regard to annexation so we could possibly subsidize or pay for the infrastructure in that addition. President Warthen said part of that requirement would be Chey would annex into the Town of Mooresville. He said a question of contiguity had been raised and with 1.00% compliance there would be contiguity to the addition as it stands. In speaking with Ray Young, if there are any issues with getting contiguity, there is a possibility the Town could annex a portion enough to get the one-eighth contiguity enough to annex lot by lot in the addition. President Warthen said knowing the time it has taken on this and the Town is not near completion of the Boyd Heights addition project, he would like to nail down the content of the letter, get the letter sent, put a short time-frame in the letter to request a response, whether the council wants to go with the next meeting or go four weeks to that meeting. He also asked that the council get quotes from three differenC engineers for the ground work and the survey for Chis job by the response date set forth in the letter. He said. he also felt like as part of this a board needed to be set for a prevailing wage. Councilman Bryant said he would like to give the people a month for a response from the letter and try to set this up for Che first meeting in February and maybe reduce the ninety-day response time, maybe sixty days from the first meeting in February. President Warthen told Councilman. Bryant he knew he had done much of the leg work on the Boyd Heights project as far as getting in contact with homeowners, if we shorten that to less than sixty days, are we pushing too much. Councilman Bryant said no we could go thirty days or forty-five days, what we are offering is a good deal. Swinney's have taken a look at the project and have given a rough cost at just over X100,000 on two different opCions. The residents need to come to the meeting and hear what we are offering. if we are offering to run sewers out there and in the effort to annex them we will provide them with governmental services the Town provides. I think forty-five days is long enough for them to decide if they want to be part of the Town and be annexed and if at the end of forty-five days we don't have the percentage of people willing to hook on, then I would say it is a done deal, we are not going to do the project. President Warthen asked if they should set that percentage now and Council .man Bryant answered let's set it at the meeting when they come far discussion. Attorney Currens told the council the letter should tell them to be at the meeting to discuss the matter and the payment of the hook-on fee, the lateral at their expense, and agreement to atxnex_ The Town will provide installation of the line and will need an answer no later than M~irch 15, 2001_ President Warthen asked if the council wanted to go ahead and get quotes from engineering firms and Councilman Bryant asked :for the Town or. for this project. Councilman Warthen said this project. Councilman Bryant answered yes, that would help speed things along. Council agreed. Councilman Bryant asked Joe Beikman if he had bilked to Swinney's on the two proposed ways to install the sewer line. Mr. Beiktnan's answer could not be heard on the recorder. Councilman Bryant said he had what Swinney had told him on the. phone but did not know if he had faxed over any other information on his quotes. Attorney Currens told President Warthen the wage board would need sorme appointments, one representing industry tliaC is appointed by the council and one representing the taxing district, the taxpayer, appointed by the council and one from the county commissioners and they will ask for a suggestion. Councilman Bryant asked if this had to be done because we were spending $100,000. Attorney Currens said yes, and this needed to be done for another project conung up on the church, so we will roll all. of these into the same one. Council President asked about Boyd Heights. Attorney Currens said we would just Ynake it Sewer Project of 2004 and use the same folks for' the MethodisC Church. Council President Warthen told the council that the last wage board Jim Ransoms and Greg Swinney served. Councilmanx Bryant asked what they determine. Auor7ley Currens said there is by statute when you set a wage scale there are five members on the board, one representing labor a government appointment and they have a meeting to determine what the cornrnon wage scale should bc. Basically it is a way of setting a wage scale consistent with union a wage. It does not come back to the council at any point. Also a suggestion of a name the county conunissioners can. appoint needs to be given to Tirir Currens. Councilman Bryant said he aught have somebody in mind but he would have to ask him first. President Warthet7 explained. to Mr. Mudd the council had authorized. the acceptance of quotes for engineering services for the project and authorized legal counsel to send a letter asking for attendance at the February 3, 2001 meeting and. at Chat tune it will be explained to the residents the proposals the Town would like to do and. will get a feel for who will and who will not annex into the Civil Town of Mooresville acid request an answer back by the March meeting. Mr. Mudd asked if he could take a petition arour.~d to get naives, would that help his situation. He said as far as he knew there; were two out of eighteen homes against this. Attorney
