QUIT From Page 1-A personnel more time with their families. : The Chief said he could cut nothing from the budget, as he and other Department heads had been told to do by Council. "Due to all departments within the city having to make necessary cuts in the budget, I feel that it is necessary to change back from the 12-hour shifts to the eight hour shifts," he wrote Council in a mem- orandum. Goforth said that reverting back to the eight hour work day shifts would automatically show a sav- ings ‘in the four telecommunicator (dispatcher) positions. Each telecommunicator presently works 36 hours two weeks of the month and receives pay for the 36-hour work week. However, each com- municator also works two 48-hour weeks each month. When the 48- hour week occurs, that dispatcher receives eight hours at time and one half the regular hourly wage. Page 12A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, March 30, 1994 Had the new plan gone into ef- fect, each dispatcher would have received eight hours of time and one half pay only once a month. Officers work a total of 168 hours in a cycle which breaks down to 42 hours weekly. If vaca- tion is calculated at 12 hours per five working days, this equals to 60 hours per officer. On the present 12 hour shift when an officer elects to take his vacation, the 10 vacation work days accumulated are based on 12 hour days or 120 hours per officer. The Police Department has al- ways been calculated under the eight hour work days; however when the 12 hour work day be- came effective and with the word- ing of the present personnel policy, the patrol division working a 12 hour shift was able to gain 40 hours vacation in a year's time over and above what is presently calcu- lated in the existing policy. ; The change would save the city time and money due to vacation accumulations. Goforth said his staff objected to the change because some of them say they have second jobs.

"TORNADO From Page 1-A « storm-related calls. The Public Works Department received no _ calls during the storm, according to Director of Community Services Tom Howard. "Jim Maney's electric depart- ment has been keeping the limbs cut back from power lines which had in the past slapped against the lines and caused outages," said Howard. "We're really on top of cutting out limbs." Howard reported high waters in creeks and streams but nothing to cause problems. But 30 miles north in Charlotte, the damages from the storm are re- ported to be higher than from what has been called the worst storm of the century, Hurricane Hugo. State and federal crews were ex- pected in both the Charlotte and Boiling Springs areas this week to assess the disaster damages.

Bobbi Peeler, Barbara Hall, Bryon Gragg and Merle Rikard en- tered Council Chambers as the -meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Patricia Stone. When the mayor didn't see their names on the agenda he didn't recognize the visi- tors. "I never could get their attention and they went into executive ses- sion before I could stand up to speak,” said Peeler. The delegation was assured by the Mayor after the close of the ex- ecutive session that they would be on the agenda for the April meet- ing. Peeler said she had appeared be- fore several meetings of the Lake Plans are shaping for the city's annual planning retreat to be held Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10, at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs.

Peeler said that North Shores Home Owners Association pays $5,425 a year to the city, or $175 per condo unit, for lake fees. Only four of the 31 home owners own piers and only about one-third own boats, about 10 people fish and very few swim, she said. "We want to be treated as indi- viduals," said Peeler, who will sug- gest that each homeowner pay his/her fees through an individual billing from the city. "Our Association has to collect from the individual homeowners," said Peeler. "If we don't have a pier or boat why should we pay the full amount?" : City planning retreat set April 9-10 Carolina County Commissioners and Zebulon City Manager Charlie Horne were given copies of former Kings Mountain city budgets and formal budget requests from all city department heads.
