Wednesday, December 16, 1987-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 9A
Kyle Smith Takes Mayor’s Job
From Page 1-A
Jackie Dean Barrett, retired
police chief, succeeds Nor-
man King, who like Mayor
Moss served 22 years and
seven months at City Hall.
Councilwoman Bridges
thanked the audience for
their support and said “I'll do
a good job”’.
Councilman Barrett said
he’d keep his campaign pro-
mises and wanted to see the
city run like a business and
“even though I was on the
police force 31 years there
are some things I’d like to see
done.”
Councilman Al Moretz said
he hoped voters would be
hearing the ‘thank you from
the full board in the next four
years and proposed that the
Council establish Dec. 15,
1987 as John Henry Moss Day
by city resolution in honor ‘‘of
the man who has done more
for Kings Mountain than
anyone else in history.”
During business of the new
administration, the Council
reappointed Marvin Chappell
as city clerk-treasurer and
Mickey Corry as city at-
torney but deferred reap-
pointment of the engineering
firm of W.K. Dickson Co. as
consulting engineers until
workshop sessions Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings
when the Council will discuss
organizational matters and
Department heads will also
offer input.
Councilman Al Moretz
made the motion that the
board elect Councilwoman
Norma Bridges to the
honorary position of mayor
pro tem but Commissioner
Humes Houston offered a
substitute motion that the
board follow customary pro-
cedure and give the honor to
Councilman Jackie Barrett
since Barrett led the field of
20 candidates in the Primary
Choirs To Lead
Worship Service
Combined choirs of
Macedonia Baptist Church
will present ‘“The Reason for
the Season’’ Sunday morning
afleim. oh ¢
Delores White will direct
the musicale. The public is in-
vited.
The annual Sunday School
Christmas program will be
held tonight at 7 p.m. and will
be on the theme, “We Like
Sheep’’ with treats for
children and a visit from San-
“ta Claus. Members of the
choir will hold a Christmas
dinner Thursday at 7 p.m. in
the fellowhip hall.
slection. Mrs. Bridges was
.0p vote-getter among the six
candidates in the run-off elec:
tion. Houston’s motion died
on the floor for lack of a se-
cond. Councilman Fred
Finger then seconded the
Moretz motion and it passed
unanimously.
Family members of Mayor
Smith, the new council
members, and Mayor Moss’
wife, Elaine, were on hand to
greet citizens at a public
reception from 6:30 until 7:30
and for both meetings of the
outgoing board and the new
board.
Smith, who was reared in a
coal mining town in West
Virginia, is a U.S. Navy
veteran of 20 years and has
taken a leave from his job
with Combustion Engineer-
ing until a city manager is on
the job. Smith has said that
interviews for the position
will begin after Christmas.
Although the General
Statutes require council
manager governments to
name an acting or interim ci-
ty manager in the absence of
a permanent one,- the
changes to Kings Mountain’s
charter won't take effect un-
til Smith and the new board
are ready, according to the
resolution the current board
adopted in September when it
adopted the city manager
form of government after
John Henry Moss announced
he would not seek re-election.
Smith has said that he plans
to follow through on his cam-
paign promises to cut the
salaries of elected officials,
including himself, and said
that his role would be that of
a part-time mayor when the
new city manager, and Kings
Mountain’s first, is on the job.
Mayor Smith received the
keys to the Mayor's office
from outgoing Mayor Moss
Tuesday after Smith adjourn-
ed the first meeting of the
Smith administration.
“I'll be in my office at 8
a.m. Wednesday morning’,
Smith said.
