City Council tours facilities in Wednesday orientation New and returning Kings Mountain City Council members received a first-hand look at how the city operates during a six-hour orien- tation Wednesday. Council members took a tour of Public Works, the gas/electric department, water plant, Moss Lake facilities, wastewater treat- ment plant, pump stations, police department, Transco, the city’s natural gas take station; peak generation plant, Senior Center, library, fire de- partment, and city hall. During a break for lunch at the new police department, and again at the end of the day at city hall council mem- bers and department heads had a question and answer period. City Manager Jimmy Maney said the tours were arranged “to educate the new council members and review with old council members and the mayor most of the city facilities.” Maney said a first-hand look at how the city operates helps the councilmen make better deci- sions when they begin the tedious task of for- mulating a fiscal year budget. “If you've seen the facilities you know first- hand what is needed, and you understand more than just having a department head come in and try to explain something to you,” Maney said. “This is a very complex, complicated small city and there are a lot of federal, state and local government guidelines that we have to comply with,” Maney said.

In one of his first official duties as mayor, Murphrey reiterated Kings Mountain's opposi- tion to merger in a letter to Cleveland County Commission Chairman Jim Crawley which was accompanied by a copy of the resolution. “This is a very sensitive issue not only in or community, but surrounding communities,” Murphrey said.

The people in those roles need to know how board members feel about items which affect the schools. Members also have the oppor- tunity to inform these officials of needs about which they may not know. Over the years our board members, in conjunction with others, have helped the system meet a number of these needs through dialogue with the appropriate officials. Perhaps the thing which takes up the largest part of a . school board member’s person- al schedule are the calls and vis- its they receive from the general public. Our board members have contacts from community members interested in school matters practically on a daily basis. This not only requires time to listen to the matter at hand but also requires addition- al time in passing along the in- quiry.

They are basi- cally on call 24 hours a day and can never go to non-school functions such as church or civic club without the potential for having to talk schools. I hope the information in this column helps you better under- stand how demanding school board membership really is. It's not that candidates for the of- fice don’t understand that they will have to give up a good bit of what was previously person- al time to serve. It's not that board members mind giving the time to make us a better sys- tem. Our members are very gra- cious in the amount of time from their lives which they do give. It is important, however, that the public understands that school board membership re- quires much more time than ev- . er before. It’s also important that the public understand that" - we are fortunate to have board members who understand the requirements of the position and who give their time will- ingly to help us in our pursuit of excellence. During this spe- cial month why not take the time to say thank you to these five people who serve us so well? hildren and Adults (704).734-0001... 5 Mountain) NC obienoo To Seciel only See Our Large Selection MASTER [JOJEWELERS » ARNOLDY% Jewelry & Gift Gallery 226 S.
