Winners were as follows: Willie Gene Harrell <br />McClain - $100.00 cash; Darrell Ivey $100.00 gift certificate from Village <br />Jewelers; and David Holman, Jr. $100.00 gift certificate from Fine Images <br />Photography Studio. <br /> <br />Additions to Agenda <br /> <br /> The Board by consensus agreed to add the following items to the agenda: <br />(1) First Responder Agency certifications; (2) Request for refund of $20,000.00 <br />deposit by the Faison Development and Cambridge Development Company; (3) <br />Resolution by Commissioner Barnhart; and (4) Appointments to the Greater Cabarrus <br />County Economic Development Corporation Board. <br /> <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />Landex Proposal <br /> <br /> Commissioner Fennel read a prepared statement in support of the County's <br />participation in the Kings Grant Interchange Development project. <br /> The following motion made by Commissioner Fennel and seconded by <br />Commissioner Barnhart failed with Commissioners Fennel and Barnhart voting for <br />and Commissioners Casper and Payne and Chairman Carpenter voting against. <br /> <br />I move that the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners take a firm <br />stand in favor of the creation of jobs through a progressive <br />economic development policy. In conjunction with this policy, we <br />direct our attorney and county manager to put together the documents <br />for a 3.5 million dollar certificate of participation (COP) for <br />King's Grant and the development of an interchange and boulevard to <br />serve northwest Cabarrus County, Kings Grant and the Charlotte Motor <br />Speedway. Furthermore, that any incurred issuance costs and <br />periodic payments of the COP would be guaranteed by Landex, the <br />developer, and supported by current land value and additional <br />collateral, as deemed necessary to insure that Cabarrus County <br />taxpayers do not risk one dime on this project. If this cannot be <br />accomplished, we will consider the County's involvement in this <br />project to be null and void. <br /> <br /> <br />
