8 Tr CELEBRITY READER - Supt. Bob McRae was "Celebrity Reader" for the week for first graders in Mrs. Hilda Kiser's and Mrs. nancy Hughes' classes at Bethware Elementary School this week. ANNEX From Page 1-A Manager George Wood and Planning Director Gene White pointed out that all of the property surrounding all six parcels are within the city. Wood said providing city ser- vices to the property owners would not result in added expense to the city because "we're already running services right by them." Wood said the city needs to an- nex "these type properties now and then look at the larger areas that may have 40 to 50 houses. Then you will be looking at the cost fac- tor and whether or not they're cost effective to annex." The property owners involved will be notified by certified mail of the city's intent to annex their prop- erty. A public hearing will be held on February 26, 1991 and it will be advertised in the paper the two weeks prior to that. In other action Tuesday, the city: ~~*%Rezoned property on North - Tracy Street to R-10 and autho- rized City Attorney Mickey Corry to convey the lot to Cleveland County Habitat For Humanity for construction of a low to moderate income single family dwelling.

COMPUTER From Page 1-A Wood said the city hopes to have the equipment in use by June 1991 to take advantage of money savings during the peak demand periods of June through Sepember. Wood said the city won't use the system for moni- toring the other utility facilities now, but that software can be purchased in the future to monitor some of those systems. “You won't make the kind of savings on the gas system that you do with electricity because the demand charges are not as great," he said. "But, over a period of years we'll be able to add some other items. The computer is big enough to handle it." Little pointed out that most cities that own their own electrical systems are going to computer monitoring systems such as SCADA. He said the unit Kings Mountain is purchasing can handle up to 16 work sta- tions. Wood pointed out that the purchase of the system will not result in an increase in the city's budget. "All we're taklking about is moving money from one line item to another," he said. "We'll decrease the line item where we buy power from Duke and put that to a line item that covers the lease-purchase payments to this system. The sytem will pay for itself."
