4 Tuesday, April 25, 2000 Board of Education Hires Supervisor, Administrator By Theresa Chen Staff Writef The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education has added more names to its roster as the school system continues to augment its trend of personnel hiring. The board approved the hiring of the two new employees, one to supervise and plan the system’s budget and the other as an additional assistant principal at East Chapel Hill High School. The board backed Superintendent Neil Pedersen’s recommendation to employ Ruby Pittman, former vice chancellor for financial affairs at N.C. Central University, as the new director of budget and planning for the school system. Pittman began her job Thursday at the Lincoln Administrative Building on Merritt Mill Road. The position was created to separate budgeting and finance, since both functions were pre viously handled by the finance director. “The school system decided it wants to look more closely at what budget does,” she said. Pittman said that despite the new position, she felt prepared because of previous experience. She received a master’s degree in business administra tion from LTNC and has worked as assistant director for the Institute for Research in Social Science at UNC. She also said that although her new job gave her control over the entire school system’s budget, as opposed to just one university, she would have no problem, despite minor adjustments. “Pve got a lot to learn, but the prin ciples of budget still apply,” she said. “It’ll take a while to emerge myself fully and then offer some suggestions to the For more information and to see if you qualify, call 881-0309 anytime Monday through Friday B:3oam-s:oopm.

The board also approved the appointment of Emmett Tilley 111, presently the assistant principal of Southwest Elementary School in Durham. He will join two other assistant principals at ECHHS. According to a school system press release, Tilley’s previous experiences include teaching atjordan High School, Hillside High School and Githensjunior Back Pain Study If you are between the ages of 18 and 55, have muscle pain in your lower back and otherwise are in good health, we invite you to call us at 881-0309 and find out more about a short research study that we are conducting.

Tilley holds a master’s degree in educational admin istration from N.C. Central and a bach elor’s degree from Duke University. Although Tilley could not be reached for comment, and there is no set date for the beginning of his employment, ECHHS Principal David Thaden was enthusiastic about working with Tilley. “I was the driving force behind bring ing him on board, and I’m ecstatic that he was selected," Thaden said. “He brings a sensitivity to kids that’s special and unique.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. City Carrboro Officials Seek Tax Increase The boost will help cover future expenses, including land purchases and funding for public transportation. By Enyonam Kpeglo Staff Writer Carrboro residents could face an increase in property taxes to create rev enue for the town’s recommended 2000- 01 budget. Town officials will present the budget to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen tonight. Fifty percent of the proposed $11,921,691 budget will come from a 6 percent property tax increase, produc ing $7,232 in extra revenue. Town Manager Bob Morgan said the additional funds would help the town purchase land for upcoming projects. “We are proposing to buy land that (Carrboro) will need in the the future,” he said. “If we don’t buy the land now then it might not be there when we need it.” Morgan said possible uses for the pur chased land would include anew fire Dilbert© foiLBERT IS ONE OF | f YOuR JOB IS j HELLO A TITLE N I OUR SOCIAL IAISFITS.J * KEEP HlfA AWAY f UJILL BE * | RIGHT "ENGINEER m | p I - J '-.

The police department, the trans portation department and town employ ees’ salaries are expected to benefit from the tax increase as well. Morgan said the recommended bud get allows for additional personnel and equipment upgrades. “They want to add a position for a new police investigator and improve radio communication by adding more frequencies,” he said. Morgan said the transportation department would receive increased funds as a result of Carrboro’s increased population. “The bus system cost is based on pop ulation figures,” he said. “Since our pop ulation went up by 2 1/2 percent, we have to pay more for transportation.” The budget summary stated the need to recruit and retain town employees by implementing pay plan initiatives. Morgan said the town wanted to decrease the turnover rate of employees. “We’ve lost twice as many employees this past year (as compared to last year),” he said. “We want to have a 2 1/2 percent e-9- 5 Gems and gravel 6 Anathematize 7 Flaming Gorge state 8 Open slipper 9 Does dishes 10 Singer Merman 11 Portal 12 Pleased 13 Building add ons 21 Earlier Central American 22 Lab dish 25 Malcolm- Warner 26 Ms. Rogers St. Johns 27 Cartons 28 Theater award 29 Sore points 30 "Thief" star 31 Upright 32 Perform incor rectly 33 Al or Bobby of auto racing 35 Cut 36 Italian island 38 Sanction 39 Relation in H 5 6 7 p BK 110 |ll 12 113 25 26 27 28 ““■Bi29 30 ~~Wk3l 32 33 34 kW3S W*?; 37 _ - 40 bßt |h4~ 43 k 844 Wkto ■■46 48 49 50 |sl 53 57 Wi ■■ f|||| <£{;?

Alderman Diana McDuffee agreed that paying higher taxes was not a pop ular idea. “(Carrboro residents) have a whole lot of needs, and while citizens don’t want the extra taxes, (taxes) are often the only way to fund needed pro jects,” she said. McDuffee said the proposed tax increase would affect most property owners in the same manner. “The University and nonprofit orga nizations like churches are exempt, but the tax would affect everyone else equal ly,” she said. Alderman Mark Dorosin said he was looking forward to hearing the presen tation. “Financially, we might be in better shape now than in the ftiture,” he said. “If we wait until the last minute, we’ll end up paying more in the long run.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
