On motion of Councilman Gallimore, seconded by Councilman
Eggert, and carried, it was, RESOLVED, that the Vice-Mayor be so
authorized and directed, on the part of the Town, to sign a lease with
VICE-MAYOR
AUTHORIZED the Appalachian Power Company, for a portion of the Bunts Building,

The Town Manager reported on the highlights of the audit
for the last fiscal year, which had been received 3ust before the
meeting. The report included the fact that the town's net fixed
AUDIT
HIGHLIGHTS assets had increased to $4,090,683.00. Also, it was explained that the
GIVEN BY
TOWN MGR. revenue of the General Fund had exceeded expenditures by $4,000.AO and
NOL~ND
that the water fund expenditures had exceeded revenue by $3,800.00 and
sewer fund expenditures had exceeded sewer fund revenue by $13,500.00.
Another section of the audit pointed out that as of
June 30, 1965, the town owed shot term notes totalling $67,000.00 at
the two banks, which fact caused the general fund balance to show a
deficit of $12,800.00. The report further explained that two days
after the beginning of the new fiscal year $45,000.00 of this indebted-
ness was paid off and that, taking this into consideration, it was
REPORT
readily seen that pratx~all~r;speaking the general fund had a balance o
$32,000.00 rather than a deficit of $12,800.00. The Town Manager re-
CONTINUFS commended that Council not consider any additional large appropriations
at this time, making specific reference to the large storm drain which
Council hopes to finance in the very near future, for the reason that
it will not be known for some months yet the real outcome of the new
sources of revenue which are anticipated in the current budget.
With respect to the water and sewer funds it was agreed
that the combined water and sewer fund has a i~slanee of slightly more
than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars at the beginning of the current
fiscal year. Again it was pointed ont that it will be necessary to
make appropriations against this balance in the near future, as soon
as engineering work on several pro3ects is complete.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P. M.
