BUDGET From Page 1-A rate. Kings Mountain Council took steps recently to change its insur- ance carriers to reduce the total cost of health insurance to a 15.3 percent increase, or an 8.7 percent savings. The major changes in medical insurance coverage under the plan are as follows: B The deductible rises from $300 to $500, but a $1,000 aggre- gate family deductible. BM The plan allows a parent/chil- dren coverage option as opposed to the previous parent/child option. BW There is a $200 hospital ad- mission fee but there is no PPO Network, so any hospital may be used. MW The previous $5 drug card de- ductible changes to $5.00 for generics, $10 for name brand drugs, unless required by ihe physician, HB Eighty percent/20 percent coverage until $2,500 out of pocket expenses, then the major medical becomes 100 percent coverage. The previous cap was $2,300. HM The city will continue to pay 100 percent cost of medical insur- ance for each full time employee. However, the share the city will pay for dependents’ coverage will drop from 65 to 55 percent. BM The city also changed the life insurance coverage from one times salary up to $50,000, to $10,000 for Department heads and assistant department heads and $5,000 for Another vote in three years GROVER - Three years from now Juanita Pruette says she will try again to get a beer and wine referendum passed in Grover. The referendum for package sale of beer and wine was defeated by 20 votes last week as a record number of Grover voters went to the polls. "I want to clarify something that was in the newspaper and let ev- eryone know that I worked at the "Wets" headquarters all day June 1," said Pruette, responding to a statement made by a poll watcher that she was on her job in Kings Mountain. "I can't believe the people of Grover didn't approve this referen- dum and keep our money working for us in Grover instead of. South Carolina," said Pruette. She circu- lated the referendum petition effort in Grover in 1980 and again in November 1992. She said passage of the referendum would have been the final step in landing a grocery store for the area. Grover has voted only twice on the beer and wine issue in recent years, defeating it both times.

Employees can pay for supplemen- tal life insurance. The city will pay $516,088.36 for medical and life insurance cov- crage this year and cmployces arc estimated to pay $107,544.20, a to- tal of $623,632.56 to cover 172 employees, some of their depen- dents and 16 retirecs. HB The budget contains $13,000 for a pay plan review, first time since it was implemented in September 1988. Wood said that the city has held the line on both gas and electric rates over the last five years but small increases are necessary this year to offset inflation. Council has already approved 2 percent in- crease effective on July consump- tion and bills. Wood said the same inflationary costs have impacted the electric fund. Since 1988, only one rate in-, crease of 3.4 percent was imple- mented and that was to cover the cost of wholesale power increase which the North Carolina Utilities Commission granted Duke Power Company, the city's supplier, in 1992. The two percent increase in retail electric rates, except for SSI customers on fixed income, is ef- fective on July 1993 consumption and bills. The 2.7 percent increase in in- dustrial water and sewer is also ef- fective with July billings. There is no increase to residential water and Sewer customers. Wood said the landfill tipping fees for sanitation service is well below the rates charged by nearby cities and private contractors. The residential rate will rise from $1.40 to $2.40 per month with June billings and the commercial rate will rise from $2.56 to $3.56 per cubic yard collected weekly. Wood said the new budget will reflect only $384,667.00 for lcase/purchasc agreements and fewer are projected for the future. “This means these agreements arc being paid off and fewer new ones arc being used. He said the city will have more flexibility in cnsu- ing ycars determining how to spend the money available (or cap- ital projects and equipment. Utilities will account for $$16,161,321 of revenues to offsct the ‘$19,060,686 total expenditures budgeted. These utilities provide 84.7 percent of the total revenues to meet the budget. Wood said the revenue projects assume a year identical to the current fiscal year in terms of the local cconomy's performance, especially industrial usage of the water, sewer, gas and clectric utilitics, and thc summer cooling and winter heating seasons. The budget also assumes that both Dye Tech and Bridgestone- Firestone plants (phase onc only) will be fully in operation by July 1. All the Council's prioritics from the April 2-3 planning retreat arc funded except the lease/purchase of a garbage truck which the board planned to purchase in the winter and make one quarterly payment in the spring out of the new budget. Wood will recommend at the bud- get hearing that the purchase be de- From Page 2-A layed 90 days, putting it into the following fiscal ycar budget.
