The Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine agenda items by consent at its March pre‑agenda meeting, including a budget amendment for the Weathers Creek project and several grant applications and contracts.
The board approved Finance's request to amend the Weathers Creek project ordinance (Budget Amendment No. 34) to include bond proceeds and the county contribution. Caroline Taylor presented the item and confirmed interest rates of 3.49 percent for the general obligation bond and 3.72 percent for the log (as stated in the presentation).
