Page 2A KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROH Thursday, May 2,1974 Lake Commission Studies Lease Agreements The lease committee of the Kings Mountain Lake Authority met Tuesday evening and reviewed lease agreement regulations for the John Moss Reservoir. The committee, after discussing various rules and reguiations, directed City Attorney Jack White to "hammer out a rough draft" for submission to the Lake Authority. Using a sample lease agreement now used by the Person-Caswell County Lake Authority, the committee members outlined their ideas for a lease agreement. The committee members felt the lease agreement should run from May 1 to Ats-il 4j/ureanu ' ^ WeujEnglandand’ Sotrthern towns took the fbrrns we Still adnure bc^se all land, private and public, had to fit the communlto plan rorgroujth. ^ American tnaditionwaslost.arK urban sprawl followed ’ ?jwi." arditeots bel je\« we must refeam the lessons of our ' forefathersandgiveourcitizensthe rghttoadoptnewland-uscpoliciesto create the communities they want 30, renewable each year. The tentative fee'of $135 will be included in the rough draft and will be subject to amendment. The question arose as to what the charge would be for part of a year and the com mittee agreed the full $125 would be charged. Mayor John Moss, who presided over the meeting in the absence of chairnnan Corbett 'Nicholson, said the renewal fee "might possibly be lowered, depen dent on the number of agreements made.” Another tentative rule will concern renewal procedure. According to the committee, if a property owner fails to renew the lease agreement on or before May 1, a notice will be sent out. Member Glee Bridges said he felt “some penalty should be considered on cases when a man who has an agreement lets it lapse and later decides to pick it up again." Bridges’ statement met with approval. The penalty fee however, will ultimately be decided on by the Lake Authority and City Board. City Has Headaches (Continued from page lA) Another recommendation Wooten made was to increase “the lowest water rate we have”, to charge a flat rate of $1.50 for residential customers to cover sewage disposal and institute a 50 percent charge on industrial water bills to also cover sewage. Wooten stated he had sur veyed the situation “as best I could since there is no ac curate data available, and found it costs the city 49.67 cents per one thousand gallons to treat fresh and waste water. Some water. Wooten said, is being sold at 25 cents per thousand. “The price scale now drops teom 52 cents to 25 cents at the lowest point. I recommend the lowest rate be raised to 35 cents. Then a flat fee of $1.50 for residential customers and a 50 percent charge on in dustrial water bills for sewage would bring the city up to a 52 cent average and we would be operating the black." The last recommendation was for the city to re|dace the wooden fence along Railroad Ave., between the old and new bridges, with steel guard rails. Wooten offered two bids given him and asked the com- DOWNTOWN KINGS MOUNTAIN CX)MING - “BUTCH CASSIDY & SUNDANCE KID" missioners to study them. One bid was $2,400 and the other was $3,500 for guard rails to span 450 linear feet. The commissioners voted to table the recommendations for further study. In other business the board: - adopted a $25,000 Lake Authority budget. - held a public hearing on assessments rolls for Charles St. - adopted a resolution declaring costs, etc. on South- wood Subdivision. - sent to the zoning board a request from Jim Rowell of an Lee St. to rezone a lot from R-20 to NB for the building of a produce stand. - authorized installation of pipe purchased by first Wesleyan Methodist Church on Pieditl5nb; AV«PafNr''&)fr''’ struction of three catch basins. - adopted a resolution of fered by engineer Dennis Fox to endorse a regional wastewater treatment facility to be shared by Kings Mountain and cities in Gaston County. The regional plan will cost an estimated $150,000 with the federal government paying 75 percent, state funds covering 12.5 percent and the cities footing the other 12.5 percent of the bill on a pro rata basis. Mayor Moss called the regional idea “very important for our future.” - adopted a resolution granting protection to the Centennial Commission in the sale of novelties, badges and many similar items. The resolution will protect the local agency firom outside vendors during the centennial celebration insuring profits will go to the c(»nmiasion. - proclaimed May 19-25 as National Association of Educational Secretaries Week. - authorized the installation of caution lights at Ehist School on Cleveland Ave. to be in operation by the next school year. The equipment will cost around $600. - adopted a request by the dty electrical departmoit to replace fluorescent lights at the mini-golf course with Duratest lights. The Ouratest lights should save the city over 1000 watts per night. The lights will cost $579. RE-ELECT BeEe "POP" SIMMONS COUNTY COMMISSIONiR Democratic Primary MAY 7, 1f74 HE CARES FOR YOU The issue of "who can use boat docks” also received attention and the question was posed, “what if a man's son or daughter from out-of-state comes to visit and brings along a boat? ” The committee felt the boat could be docked at the father’s home but that a boat permit would have to be obtained separately. Daily boat fees are $4. The committee did voice approval of allowing members of a family and bona fide guests to use the lessor’s pier and docking facilities, provided the boat fee is acquired. In cases of family, a property owner may obtain the Family Use Permit that allows dependent children (as defined by those dependents entered on a federal income tax form) to use the facilities. Other guests and children must obtain separate permits. The same Family Use Permit also applies to fishing privilges. The board also discussed violations and determined that if a lease holder violates any term of the lease by polluting the lake or acting contrary to state health laws, the lease can be terminated immediately. If adopted by the City Board, a terminated lease agreement (if for such violations) will result In the city taking possession of any structures or improvements in the city-owned portion of the property. The authority also gave the nod to White to draw the lease agreement calling for city land to be defined as that land from the 744 foot contour to the water’s edge. . White will now work with the committee rec- commendations and submit it.
