Calabash Hires Firm BY DOUG RUTTKR Calabash officials have hired a Myrtle Beach, S.C., engineering firm to study the town's wastewater treatment needs. Commissioners voted to hire Powell Associates last week after meeting with representatives of two firms in executive session to discuss contractual relations. With Mayor Doug Simmons and Commissionct Ray Card absent, the town board met with engineers from Powell Associates and The Wooten Company of Raleigh. The two engineering firms were among six that submitted proposals to the town earlier tins year for a sewer needs study. Most of Calabash's residents live in Carolina Shores and already re ceive sewer service from a private utility, Carolina Blythe. The rest of the residents and most of the restaurants and businesses use septic tank systems for sewage treatment ana disposal. Town officials said Powell Associates will be paid S14,5(K) lor the study. 1'he money will come from the portion of suite sales tax that must be used for water and sewer projects. Commissioner Keith Hardee said the users ol any new sewer system, and not Carolina Shores residents, would he the ones who ultimately pay lor the system anil the study. "We pay lor the whole nine yards," said Hardee, who lives in the section of town not presently served by sewer. Hoard Won't Listen Despite recent changes on the Calabash Planning and Zoning Board and pledges of better com munication, coininissioncis and planning board members still aren't seeing eye to eye. Commissioner Slu Thorn, who acts as a liaison between the two boards, said the planning board has been duplicating things that have al ready been done and taking actions it isn't authorized to lake. "They don't listen to us," Thorn told commissioners last week. "I'm pointing out that no matter what's said to these people they do what they w ant to do " Thorn said die planning board's annexation committee asked Marsh Harbour Marina lor a letter request ing annexation something com missioncrs did more than a year ago. To Study Sewer Needs The planning board also voted to hire someone to study the number of people using the trash dump and the volume ol solid waste being generated. Commissioners said they already have those figures, and approved a motion from Jon Sanborn prevent ing the planning board from hiring someone to study solid waste with out commission approval. Town commissioners reversed another planning board action last week relating to street names. A let ter will be sent to the county object ing to proposed changes in road names previously endorsed by die planning board. Also, Thorn said the planning board asked Brunswick County Commissioners to object to a state legislature redisricting plan that would crcatc a new district in Brunswick and Columbus counties. "I'm just telling you they're go ing a little hog wild," Thorn said. "They don't listen." Planning board member Louise Lewis recently resigned her posi lion. The town hoard has recom mended county commissioners ap point Tom Roberts as a new repre sentative from the extraterritorial area. In other business last week, com missioners reviewed several pro mised ordinances that wiil come up lor public hearing Sept 10, includ ing one thai would establish an ap pearance commission. The board also discussed possible changes in the recycling program and agreed to hire a part-time hook keeper.
