Resignation <
Prompts Spe<

Holden Beach commissioners were
to meet Wednesday morning at 9 to
hear if an offer they made the
number two man on the police force
will keep him from leaving.
Resignation of Sgi. Don Stovall
prompted commissioners to meet in
special session Tuesday morning.
Stovall, whose letter of resignation is
dated Jan. 8, said he was leaving to
uCCCpt u cirri1 Ctmoof Donnk
for more money.
Mayor Kenner Amos and all five
commissioners agreed that Stovall is
one of the best officers ever on the
force, but there was disagreement
ahnut whether to offer a raise to keep
him.
Finance officer Hal Stanley was
reluctant to make a salarv nilinot
meru in mid-year, saying ii wouid set
a "very dangerous precedent." When
the new budget is considered is the
? * *: _ ? I
cuiictl unit: IU vuuoiuvi aujustments,
Stanley argued, adding
that his stand was no reflection on
Stovall's work?"just a matter of
policy."
His opposition was echoed by commissioners
Jim Griffin and Graham
King. Griffin said the commission
ought not to react to resignations and
King said if Stovall's salary is raised
other town employees might stand in
iine for similar raises.
Arguing for the salary increase
were Public Safety Commissioner
Gloria Barrett and Commissioner
Lyn Holden, as well as Mayor Amos.
Barrett said "It is time we raise
salaries to compete with other towns
so we can keep our officers." She told
the commission she had asked
Stovall if he would consider staying if
the town matched the salary offer he
had received from Sunset Beach.
She pointed out that Stovall had
been given only one raise in the past
19 months, when he was given additional
duties as assistant chief.
Holden, after reminding fellow
commissioners that he usually votes
to nay as little as possible, said he
favored raising Stovall's salary instead
of looking for someone else.
Mayor Amos passed out comparisons
of what policemen are paid
by Holden, Occnn late. Sunset,
Shallot to and Long Beach.
"The records show we are underpaying
our personnel," Amos
declared.
i Commissioner Griffin called for an
CACCu&aVc sc93iuti to uiviuo the ulatter
ana to taut with Stovaii. Commissioner
King seconded the motion,
which passed unanimously.
Thirty minutes later Mayor Amos
told the press the commission
"unanimously decided we want to
keep Stovall." However, he did not
say what kind of offer Stovall was
made in the closed-door session.

:ia! Meeting
Stovall, whose salary is now $12,500
a year, was offered $1,000 more a
year at the outset by Sunset Beach
and was promised a $500 raise after
six months there, according to Mayor
Amos.
Presumably the commission matched
that offer since there is optimism
that Stcvall will remain on
the Holden Beach force.
According to the comparison
sheets distributed by Mayor Amos, a
sergeant or assistant chief at Sunset j
u. [Kiiu *io,uou al snallotte
and $19,302 at Long Beach. No svcn
position was listed for Ocean Isle.
The police pay schedules at all
levels lag behind at Holden, according
to iiuonridiion distributed at the
Tuesday meeting.
The pay scales were set, commissioners
said, on prrnnpous or i
out-of-date information when the
budget was prepared last year.
Workshop Held
After recessing their meeting,
commissioners participated in a
previously-scheduled workshop
where public accessways were the
primary topic.
Their discussions indicate they will
move to obtain an accessway to serve
the Sea Oats subdivision, the first
priority In plans to provide accessways
for use by occupants of
houses back of oceanfront.
Assessing affected property
owners will more than likely be the
method used to buy the land and
develop the first accessway, targeted

The one-tii *, cos*
ment could range from $20 to $40 per
lot, depending upon how broad the
assessment area. Owners of vacant
lots would pay an equal share with
owners of developed lots, if the commission's
discussions are enacted.
Since commissioners are prohibited
from taking action during a
workshop, their plans for accessways
will be a topic at the next regular
muni i nil
Commissioners were scheduled to
discuss development of a boat ramp
but postponed the subject after learning
from Mayor Amos that the bent
ramp near the bridge will remain
open until the construction is complete
and the bridge Is turned over to
the state.
After mentioning ths proposed
beach patrol to be initiated this
season, they postponed this subject
for a flifers workshop.

A policy adopted by the Brunswick
Technical College Board of Trustees
last Wednesday night sets guidelines
for school employees who request a
leave of absence.
Under the new policy, leaves of
absence without pay will be granted
to "full-time permanent employees
~i..??: ?
ivu cuuvciuuiuu purposes or ior any
other reasons deemed justified by the
President of Brunswick Technical
COiicgc."
"According to state personnel
rules, when you're granted a leave
for educational purposes then your
position is held until you return,"
BTC President Joesph Carter said.
During that period, the employee's
accumulated benefits and seniority
are placed on hold until the person
returns to the position, he added.
Such leaves will not exceed six
months, unless extended on the basis
of individual circumstances by the
school president, the policy states.
An employee requesting a leave of
absence should apply in writing to his
ui un :?upt.*i viSOr, ami notify ui - CCilege
immediately if a decision is
made not to return to work, it states.
"At lonst 30 calendar days prior to
the end of the leave the employee
shall give written notice of intention
to return to work; otherwise the college
is not required to provide
reinstatement." the policy states.
"Fililliro tn r?mr?rt u# llm nvnlrnHnn
of the leave, unless an extension is
granted, will be considered n
resignation."
Carter said only two employees
have requested leaves of absence in
tht past, when there has been no
policy on the books to govern such requests.
One full-time automotive instructor
iuis taken a "leave without pay to
train for a year with an automotive
dealership, while a business instructor
has requested a six-month leave
for medical reasons. Carter said.
Health insurance coverage while
on a leave of absence must be paid in
full by the employee while unused ann't

In other personnel-related matters,
the board hired Thomas McGraw ef
tecuve immediately to replace I-arry
Blount, who recently resigned as
coordinator of the school's interagency
developmental handicapped program.
The state-piloted program works
with mentally handicapped students
through the college, county schools
and Southeastern Mental Health
Center in training students to perform
actual work in the private sector
according to their capabilities.
Board members also accepted
resignations from Homer HarrcLson.
an air conditioning instructor, and
Hazel Williams, an English instructor.
A 30-niinute executive session was
also held "to update other members
of the board on current litigation,"
said Personnel Committee Chairman
John Ivey. No action was taken, he
added.
An let on
new campus south of Supply will be
ready for opening within the next
month, Carter said The lot will hold
an additional 40 cars when available.
According to Business Manager
Vernon Ward, the new lot was built
with the help of county equipment at
a cost of $4,700, compared to $11,000
the school paid for the first parking
lot on the campus.
"We saved about $6,000 by using
county equipment and by working
with Major White (county landiui
director) " W?rH onirl
Student Government Association
President Steve Ward told board
members the group has begun work
helping the BTC Educational Foundation
raise funds for a new
