BOYCOTT From Page 1-A "Council needs to come together and discuss the problems of the city and it's setting a precedent when something happens like this and apparently there could have been a collusion, I don't know." "Anytime a meeting is called elected officials should show up because it's their responsibility re- gardless of their vote," said Bridges. "We can't hide behind closed doors. We voice our opinion whether it pleases the people or not. That's the responsibility we have to the voters. If they don't want to vote on the tough issues they should not vote on anything. "No commissioner should ever tell another commissioner how to vote. I was real disappointed in the four men who didn't come to last Thursday's meeting." During Sunday's special meet- ing, Councilman Mullinax voiced his opinions. "I read with interest an article in the Kings Mountain Herald in ref- erence to a statement made by Councilman Grindstaff about team CONTRACT From Page 1-A In a related action, Council re- scinded its earlier action to award the construction contract to McDaniel Construction and said engineering and design, financial and construction contracts would be bid separately. Hicks said the city had signed no contract with McDaniel and the city has no choice but to rebid the whole project. "Nothing was ever signed even though the city had awarded the bid. The bid itself was not legal," said Maney. Maney said that all vendors who had originally bid on the pro- ject were notified. The rebidding will delay the pro- ject which Maney had estimated in April would be up and running by September. Maney estimates the plant will shave the city's whole- sale cost of electricity with antici- pated annual savings between $475,000 and $575,000 depending on the city's billing rate. Maney said that the savings will pay for the plant within a five year period without an increase in city utilities. Rev. George Simmons, former pastor, leads note-burning ceremo- ny at East Gold Street Wesleyan Church. East Gold Wesleyan burns church note On June 2, East Gold Street Wesleyan Church celebrated pay- ing off the indebtedness of the church with a note burning service attended by 210 members and friends. Rev. Curtis Williams, youth minister, welcomed everyone and led the responsive reading. Rev. George Simmons, pastor when the church was built, gave inspiring re- marks about the church. The West District Superintendent, Rev. Henry Williams, preached a chal- lenging message and encouraged everyone to "continue to have a vi- sion of the great things Gold can do through East Gold Street Wesleyan Church." The building committee was rec- ognized. They were Gertie Barnett, Jim Conner, Jay Biddix, Steve Brown, Don Ware, Audrey Biddix, Will Huntsinger, Ollie Wheeler, and Seimore Biddix. Special music included "Give Him Praise," sung by the choir under the director of Fred Eaker, and "Holy Ground," sung by Jimmy Maney with the congregation joining in the chorus. Rev. Harold Bumby, pastor, led the benediction. The Revs. Bumby, Simmons, players. Our Mayor Pro Tem Phil Hager called for a special meeting of our board June 6. The only team players in attendance were Norma Bridges, Hager, Mayor Neisler and myself. I think team players should first be ‘established by the elected officials. This type of con- duct is disrespectful to the citizens we represent and to our oath of of- fice.” Councilman Ralph Grindstaff quickly defended his absence. He said, "I'll be a team player but not a member of a team on a witch hunt." Grindstaff did not elaborate. Said Hager at Thursday's meeting, "Anytime a meeting is called when elected officials don't attend I want to know excuses and reasons. I won't second guess. I feel it's the duty of any elected offi- cial to be present at meetings of Council." Murphrey said that Council should focus on the big picture, on positive things that had been hap- pening and the turnaround in fi- nances and ways the city was working to save money to maintain the state required fund balances and keep from raising taxes and services. McDaniel Construction origi- nally presented a base bid of $1.8 million with additional money for supplies, including a transformer. Neisler asked Parsons to include in the financial bid package to fi- nancial institutions to issue bond both a 10-year and 5- year ie back plan. The financial package must be approved by the Local Government Commission. Parsons said she would include the recommendations in the neces- sary paperwork.
