To the readers of the Shoreline:
I am sorry to inform you that due to the difficult budget constraints
the town is facing, we will eliminate the printing and mailing of the
Shoreline to you. This is the last issue.
Currently, it costs the town $16,000 per year to print and mail the
Shoreline. We know that many of you will be greatly disappointed and may
even be upset with the decision. However, as I have indicated we are
facing a very difficult budget crunch.
We have made other provisions for you to receive the information
contained in the Shoreline. You can, if you wish, use our web site and
get this same information. In addition, we are increasing the amount of
coverage we get in the Island Review. Between these two methods you will
get all of the information on the town's business that is currently
published in the Shoreline.
As a final note, the $16,000 we currently spend to publish the
Shoreline covers only 49% of the property owners in Pine Knoll Shores.
If we were to send it to all property owners, it would cost $32,000.
The suggestion to eliminate the Shoreline was by far the one
mentioned most by those individuals who wrote or called me, as one of the
ways to reduce our anticipated budget increase.
I and the Board of Commissioners wish to express our regrets for
having to take this action.
