He said the city had frozen work on the two dams and those cuts of $150,000 have reduced the short- : fall. Wood said that all other funds appear to be on target, with some minor adjustments. He told the board that in order to cover the shortfall that monies would have to be transferred from other funds and budgeted expendi- tures frozen. Wood told the board that warm winters resulted in money losses for Kings Mountain last year since utilities is the city's biggest money- maker. The state took away state collected local revenues and reim- bursements and the city's bond debt on big ticket improvements such as the Crowders Creek Waste Treatment Plant made last year's fi- nancial picture bleak at budget time. Last year the city did not pay cost of living raises to employees but gave merit raises. Wood told the board that this year's financial picture has im- proved and he hopes the raises can be given this year but that every- thing depends on bids for medical insurance. Department heads presented budget priorities all day Friday and Saturday morning. Saturday after- noon board:members began delib- erating on the requests which had n disftayed on big flip charts in the college conference rooms. Board members marked the ap- proved requests after voting on pri- orities, matching each priority with . available money. The priority polls will be used by the city manager and staff to draw up a budget for approval by council members. Wood said he was highly pleased with the retreat and praised the department heads and Council. It was the city's third retreat. The requests which hold top pri- ority by Council include: Aging Department - increase the Senior Center program coordina- tor's hours from 20-30 hours for in- crease in salary to $7,200, which includes insurance. Cemetery Department - All re- quested projects were funded, in- cluding replacement of a 1981 truck at cost of $16,500; installa- tion of standard curb and gutter be- ginning at the intersection of Hillside Drive and Rosedale Drive and running parallel with Potters Field at cost of $4,000; continue improvements in the old pool area at cost of $3500; and $500 for a new gas eternal flame light for Veterans Garden. Mauney Memorial Library - bar codes scanner at cost of $2500 and $500 work station for the circula- tion desk.

SUPPLEMENT From Page 1-A The proposed tax would up the supplemental tax from 17 cents to 18 cents a year per $100 valuation. The ban on student fund raising would not apply to Kings Mountain High School and school festivals. "The strongest concern I have is for the safety of the children," McRae told the school board at Monday night's meeting. "We need to get out of the sell- ing business and the one cent tax is the vehicle to do that," said McRae. “Vice Ghairmaf¥ Priscilla Méiney said the state accreditation team has also recommended that the pre- sent policy stop. McRae said that PTO groups do a great job in organizing fundrais- ers but now they want to become more involved in other activities. "They should be allowed to do oth- er things," he said. Peeler asked how the money would be divided and McRae sug- gested a base amount plus a per pupil amount. The policy would not exclude adults from raising money through raffles, etc. the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. Gold is declared winner Almost five months after the November 3 county commissioner election, Sam Gold is taking office as the third new member of the board. An examination of ballots Thursday by the Cleveland County Board of Elections confirmed the recount, which indicated Gold won the seat from incumbent Charlie Harry by 74 votes. Harry, of Shelby, executive offi- cer of Grover Industries, conceded the election Friday afternoon and withdrew his request for a second recount because of the results of the examinations of ballots. Gold was in Kings Mountain Saturday morning with county commissioner Ralph Gilbert for the 20th anniversary celebration of Hardee's of Kings Mountain. The Cleveland County Board of Elections examined almost 20 per- cent of the ballots cast in the November election, but failed to uncover a single vote for either Gold or Harry that had not been counted during the recount. Gold is expected to be certified by the North Carolina Board of Elections sometime this week. Other recently sworn new mem- bers of the commission, all Democrats, are chairman Cecil Dickson and E. T. Vanhoy, both of Shelby.
