Page 2-A?'THE BRUNSWICK BEACO Hl (Continued From Page 1-A) A proposal to compensate county employees who worked overtime during Hurricane Diana in September won unanimous support from commissioners Monday night. 'i"he money to pay ihis expense wiii come first from salary funds that may lave accumulated within a department due to vacancies, and then from the general contingency fund. Compensation will be based on overtime worked from 5 p.m. Sept. 10 through Sept. 14. Employees have had the option of taking compeasatory time off for hurricane-related overtime, but the county had hoped to obtain financial reimbursement through federal disaster aid. That aid was denied. If all employees who worked overtime during the hurricane took tlx; time off due them rather than get some cash payment, County Manager Billy Carter, it could virtually shut down temporarily some large departments such as social services and health. In devising cash payments, he Ft t,-\ -"fir ggfei -y? ? ' """* '?*> - i 4* - . v*. ,. HHM< .-, - Michelle Mir mul lloscmaric Jntikcwln W V ImA naauutd ?.. it? t?~ -* c.

Commissioner Jim Poole said later he thought the policy was "too loose," which would make it too easily subject to employee abuse. Carter had said that with a large number of employees, there was a potential for some abuse to occur and go undetected. Employees are subject to immediate dismissal if they submit false time sheets, a rule Chappell said he hopes is being more strictly enforced under the board's new policies. Child Support Commissioners decided, on County Attorney David Clegg's recommendation, against endorsement of a Hertford County legislative resolution regarding the 4-D Child Support Enforcement Program. Hertford wants the program to stay in state hands. The state is proposing making support enforcement a county responsibility and allowing counties to charge an administrative fee to cover their costs.

The money would be used to improve an "industrial corridof" between the Inland Industrial Park and Navassa. A March 8 letter from the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) notified county officials that the couniy ana the Brunswick County Resources Development Corp. had been authorized to submit a joint application for the EDA funds. "This is a significant accomplishment, " Michael deShcrblnln. secretary to the development corporation, advised county commis sioners monuuy uigiu. u>uuuusi oners approved plans to submit the application by the May 1 deadline. The county should know by Sept. 30 if it has been approved, deSherblnin said. A profile submitted for EDA review targeted a small area between the developed section of 1 eland Industrial Park and Navassa as an "industrial corridor," where the development corporation will hold fee-simple title to 82.5 acres. To make the development corridor more attractive to prospective industry. plans call for providing a rail spur and access road, extending natural gas and water lines and constructing a 100,000 galions-per-day wastewater treatment plant. An 8-inch or 10-inch water line would be extended to High Rise Service Company Inc. on Royster Road outside the Navassa town limits.

President Ronald Reagan has porposed doing away with the Economic Development Administration. The agency is currently under a rescission order. This means there is a slight chance the money already allocated this year could be taken back before the grant has been approved. "I don't feel that's likely though." he said of the rescission, "because it lias to go to the House and Senate." With receipt of the grant, he said, the county cannot entice an industry ( from an existing location into the park.
