In other personnel actions at their June IS meeting.
BCC trustees hired Felisa Benton as library technical as
sistant and. on a split vote, accepted the resignation of
physical plant employee Eugene Wayne Boyd. Trustee
Dean Walters voted against accepting it.
Trustees also discussed temporary space needs for
(he aquaculture program, budget concerns and the col
lege's recent state audit.
BCC is seeking funds from the state legislature and
the U.S. Economic Development Administration for a
permanent building for the aquaculture and recreational
grounds management programs, but still needs space
this fall.
If funds become available. President Michael Reaves
has proposed erecting a metal shell building with brick
veneer front that can he used in the short-term to house
fish tanks and converted later into a new maintenance
department building.
lie ihiiika iuc facility would uni around $40.1)00 to
erect, which happens to be about (he cost of a sign the
building and grounds committee would like to sec
placed at the campus enirance on the U.S. i7 bypass
when funds are available.
While the audit was good overall, state auditors
made recommendations regarding weaknesses in cash
management and internal controls. Auditors found that a
number of deposits had not been made in a timely man
ner as required by state laws that require daily deposit of
cash receipts; student fee overpayments had not been re
funded by check, but set aside for cash reimbursement,
and large-sum checks drawn against a state account for
payment to vendors had been outstanding for extended
periods of time.
In its response, the college said the delayed deposits
were the result of "poor judgment" by business office
staff in setting daily priorities and that staff was being
retrained and new procedures established to ensure com
pliance.
BCC also said that the outstanding checks situation
"resulted from unique circumstances and were isolated
examples." Its entire cash receipts and disbursements
functions are being reviewed and recomircnded im
provements will be shared with the auditor's office and
state Department of Community Colleges.

State DOT To Pave 1 0.64 Miles In County i
The N.C. Depart, of Trans, plans to pave
10.64 miles of state-maintained unpaved roads in
Brunswick County within the next 12 months.
The total cost of the work is estimated at
$1,377,747, according to the secondary road con
struction program report presented Monday night
to the Brunswick County Commissioners.
Between July 1 and June 30, 1995, the state
plans to spend $236,796 for spot stabilization,
paved road improvements, safety improvements
and bridge replacements and $50, (XX) for right of
way signatures, surveys and resolutions.
Specific paving projects in the report include
the following:

dead end, $80,681.
? Hewett Burton Road. .90 miles. U.S. 17 to
dead end, $66,600.
? MinU Cemetery Road. .90 miles. U.S. 17 to

The state paved 7.1 miles of rural roads dur

Road, McKay Road, Ellis Benton Road. Ludlum
Road and Shepard Farm Road.
Also paved were 4.28 miles of subdivision
/residential roads: Do Tuc Road. Wilson Avenue,
Gamer Street, Durge Drive, Dale Road, Shoreline
Drive and Evans Circle.
The top three priorities listed in the 1993-94
secondary road construction program ? Grand
River Road, Cum bee Road and Rock Creek
Road ? were not paved this fiscal year because
right of way was not available.
State law requires that the transportation de
partment make a study before July 1 of each year
to determine the amount of unpaved mileage in
each county and in the state.
The mileage figures arv needed to determine
the secondary construction allocations to each
county.
Secondary road construction allocations,
which are set by tne legislature, are based on Uic
amount of revenue generated by the gasoline tax.
The final total will not be known until the end of
the Fiscal year on June 30.
Based on approximately 1 10 unpaved miles in
Brunswick County, compared to unpaved miles
statewide, the 1994-95 secondary allocation is es
timated at $1377,747. The final figure should be
approved at next month's Board of Transportation
meeting.
