Faison To Reimburse *3045 The decision to withdraw $3,045 from the recreation budget or the town's funds to make a repayment to the Employment Security Commission for unemploy ment benefits paid former recreation director Charles King was tabled Dec. 7 by Faison Commissioners at the regular Board meeting. The reimbursement of the $3,045 would be taken from the $10,600 recreation budget if mandated by Faison Commissioners. The board approved the payment due December 8, but tabled designating the budget item from which the funds would be taken. Faison town ad ministrator Neil Mallory stated the obligation to repay the funds due to a Faison Town Board decision to par ticipate in the unemployment compensation program through the total reimburse ment of monies paid former town employees. Mallory pointed out the option not taken by the town was parti cipation in the program through payment of a per centage of the annual payroll as done by private business. Faison Recreation Com mission Chairman Dr. A.J. Bullard appeared before the board requesting financial assistance with reimbursing the $3,045. Bullard pointed out the costs to the recreation department beyond pro gramming. such as repairs and utilities. According to Bullard the location of the nutrition program in the basement of the recreation department gymnasium adds approximately $170 to the utilities costs each month. Each year, he estimated approximately $2,000 of the recreation budget is needed to pay utilities. The Faison Town Board approved the appointments of Leslie Morrisey and Johnny Oliver to the Rec reation Commission. New member Jane Hol lingsworth and incumbent Ronald Oates were sworn into office as Faison Com missioners at the December 7 meeting. Also, incumbent Francis McColman was sworn into the office of Faison Mayor for his second consecutive term. Mavor McColman appointed Com missioner Bill lgoe as finance office. Commissioner Helen Britt to police. Commissioner Melvin Rogers to sanitation. Commissioner Jane Hol lingsworth to streets and sidewalks, and Commis sioner Ronald Oates to water and sewer committees. Com missioner Melvin Rogers was requested to investigate complaints about trash col lection by town citizens. In other action, the Board voted to add $6,600 to the contract awarded to Utility Services for additional re pairs and renovation of the town water tank. The total contract for renovation and painting of the old water tank is $17,560. The original con tract was awarded for $10,960 al the November meeting of the Faison Com missioners. The old tank was last renovated in 1971; upon completion of the project the structure will be painted the same color as the new water tank. The Board appointed Walter Thomas to the Faison Board of Adjustment replac ing Jane Hollingsworth who resigned after winning election as a Faison town Commissioner. Thomas served as an alternate to the Board of Adjustment. Watershed Permit Suspended The Array Corps of En gineers has suspended the construction permit for the Muddy Creek Watershed project because of an ap parent excessive amount of spoil material from earlier work ont he creek and on the companion Limestone Creek. Both projects are intended to clear clogged stream channels to reduce flooding, work began a year ago on the Limestone Creek project. Although bids have been opened on the major portion of the Muddy Creep project, contracts have not been awarded. A smaller portion of the project is under con struction. The permit was suspended until the spoil problem can be resolved, said Charles Hollis, chief of the environ mental branch of the Army Corps of Engineers district ' office in Wilmington. Spoil is material dredged from stream channels or canals and deposited on banks or in areas set aside for the pur pose. A meeting of Soil Conser vation Service and corns officials to work out the problem is tentatively sche duled,< according to Hollis and Kenneth Futreal, Duplin County soil conservationist. Both men said they believe the problem can be resolved. Under the federal Clean Water Act, permits from the corps are required before spoil can be deposited on wetlands, Hollis said.
