APRIL BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING
SHONEY'S SUITES
On the recommendation of the Planning Board, The Board of Commissioners approved
plans for the construction of Shoney's Suites, a four-story hotel with 111 suites, to be located
on the corner of Oakleaf Drive and Salter Path Road. The Inspections Department has a
drawing and layout of this attractive facility should anyone wish to see it.
1997-98 BUDGET
At the Work Session, following the regular meeting. Commissioner Gallo recommended
to the Board of Commissioners that the tax rate for the Town be set at 16 cents per hundred.
All requests from the different departments have been met and with a projected evaluation of
$400,000,000, he felt the reduction of five cents would be fair to the citizens. The majority
of money spent on damages and cleanup from the two hu'rricanes has been recovered and
reserves are adequate. By reducing the tax rate, the Town's 1997-98 budget would be
revenue neutral as planned. He also stated that he would like to see the county use the same
philosophy.
WATER REPORT

the Town's position.
