Budget ?
by Bruce Barton
Pembroke-Mayor James A. "Pete"
Jacobs and the Pembroke Tow n Councfl
which consists of Councilmen Larry T;
Brooks. Milton Hunt. Sam Dial and Rodfe?
Locklear quietly worked through the *
_ budgetary process this yeaj wiLhout the^
acrimtnous debate of past years with the
citizenry.
The council adopted the recommenda
tions of Town Manager McDuffie
Cummings without undue fuss Monday
night. The town's budget of $829,978
was adopted without a tax increase which
stays at last year's 70c per one hundred
dollars valuation. However, the new
budget which includes $541,678 (general
fund) and $288,300 (water and sewer
fMdkyvill include ft slight increase of 50c
rtt the sanitation fee charged each
household and an adjustment for certain
businesses which generate a large
volume of garbage. The new budget also
includes an increase of 20c per one
thousand gallons of water used. Town
Manager McDuffie Cummings noted
that "there has not been an increase in
residential rates for water and sewer
over the last seven years.".
Cummings also noted that the town is
presently administering a Community
Development Grant of $257,000 as well
as a 201 Facilities Plan of $700,000 for
water and sewer improvements that are
budgeted seperately from the town's
general budget.
The budget also includes a five percent
cost of living increase for each employee
of the town. Cummings noted, in his
budget message. "Given the fact that
there were no cost of living increases in
last year's budget, we feel the recom
mendation is reasonable. In addition,
the budget continues to reflect the
town's concern for health and safely by
special appropriations to the recreation,
rural fire and fescue departments."
IN OTHER MATTERS...
The council concluded public hear
ings on where convenience stores and
service stations may be located. The
board decided, after the public hearing,
that convenience stores and service
stations may be located in a C 3 Zoning
District which is a Highway Business
District, and disallowed the businesses
in a C I (Central Business) District. The
council also decided on conditional use in
a C 2 Zone which is a Neighborhood
Business District.
The council also authorized the mayor
to sign an EDA Grant application in
which the town is asking for approxi
mately $600,000 to be used for sewer
improvement in. the tow n's systcjn.
And the council changed the next
meeting from July 4 to July 5.
