the amount of $24,624 and to the sewer fund in the amount of $215,503 as
recommended by the Town's auditors.
Before Council was Ordinance No. 93-28 Approving a Supplemental
Appropriation for the Water Fund for FY 1992-93 in the amount of
$24,624. Councilman Glenn so moved that reading of Ordinance No. 93-28
be waived, seconded by Councilman J. R. Schrader and carried.
Councilwoman Holston made a motion that Ordinance No. 93-28 be
adopted, seconded by Councilman Glenn.
Councilman Graham stated we started the fiscal year with a $23,000
deficit and asked why the auditors feel that we have to correct it now.
Mr. Lyons advised that Councilman Graham was comparing revenues to
expenditures. The supplemental appropriation addresses the gap between
budgeted expenditures versus actual expenditures.
Mr. Terwilliger stated that Council was not amending the budget,
but appropriating funds from unappropriated funds.

Councilman Crispin questioned what the overages were. Mr. Lyons
stated that 83°s of the Sewer Fund overage is due to Peppers Ferry
Treatment charges. Information was distributed which shows the high
flows we had and there is no way for the Town to budget as we could not
accurately anticipate this. Because Peppers Ferry received so much
additional revenue because of the very wet spring and high flows, they
have lowered their treatment charges to the Town for this fiscal year.
The Executive Director of Peppers Ferry expected the Town to see a
savings of $50,000 to $60,000. Mr. Lyons reported that we also had
overtime at the Critzer Sewage Pump Station by operating a third shift.
Mayor Hancock stated we should look at I & I again. Mr. Lyons
reported that the Town Engineer is working on this problem.
Councilman Graham stated that the Town needs a crew to work on the
I & I situation as we need to identify and correct our problems.
Councilman Graham further stated that Town Administration should tell
Council exactly what we need as we have talked about this problem many
times.
Mayor Hancock stated that with this amount of overage, we could
have hired someone to work on this problem fulltime. He felt it was an
on-going problem.
Motion then carried on the following recorded vote:

J. R. Schrader, Jr. - Aye E. G. Black, Jr. - Aye
