‘America Week’
resolution
City Council opened its Nov
ember meeting Monday night
by unanimously adopting a Re
solution backing President Nix
on in his efforts to end the war
in Vietnam, and declaring Nov
ember 10-16 as “Honor Ameri
ca Week’’ in Newberry. The Re
solution will be seen elsewhere
in this issue.
Following that, Council got on
to more routine business as fol
lows:
Approved an additional $5,-
166.80 to be paid to Ea ^le Con
struction Company for c nstruct-
ion of Marion Davis Park dam;
Purchased a Burrough’s E-
6000 'Icctronic Accounting sys-
tei at a cost of $79,206.97;
approved use of a ten inch
ewer line to the Bi-Lo Store
on 176 Bypass rather than the
eight inch line for which Bi-Lo
is paying. The cost to the city
will be approximately $2,000.
Approved tax abatements for
Central Soya and for the Ken
dall Company for recent im
provements to a local plant.
Council approved the execu
tion of a contract between the
city and the State of South Caro
lina under which Pete Driggers,
a city employee, will travel
throughout the state conducting
training programs for sewer
plant operators. The program
is being initiated by the state
in conjunction with new state
requirements for certification of
all sewer plant operators with
in the state by January 1971.
Mr. Driggers will remain on the
city payroll and will be paid
salary and expenses by the city,
all of which will be reimbursed
by the state.
Councilman Kinard made a
motion to pare sewer service
charges in view of the fact that
the City is receiving more mon
ey in property taxes than it ori
ginally anticipated. Only Coun-
cilmen Kinard and Partain vot
ed in favor of the motion, while
other members of council adopt
ed a “wait and see” attitude
as to future expenses of city
operation.
In justifying the expenditure
for the accounting system, City
Manager K. W. Riebe told the
Council:
“This large expenditure of
money over a three-year period
cannot be approved without pro
per justification. However, I am
convinced that this expenditure
is not only needed at this time,
but that it will, now and in the
years to come, save this city
more dollars than it will cost.
Let me list some of the reasons
that I feel justify our request.
“We are presently paying ap
proximately $300 per month for
the leasing of one machine. If
the system is installed this cost
would be eliminated at a sav
ings of approximately $3,600 a
year.
“Although we do not predict
a reduction of personnel, we
know that no additional person
nel will be required to operate
the Finance Department. We
believe that some personnel may
be used in other areas within
the city work force. The sav
ings of one person would result
in a saving of approximately
$5,000 or more, including fringe
benefits annually.
“The City of Newberry’s In
ventory and Supplies is estimat
ed to run approximately $80,000
per month. By programming
this inventory into the new sys
tem, we feel that this inven
tory cari be greatly reduced.
“Our Utility System has near
ly doubled in the amount of
services sold. The new system
will allow us to program im
portant studies involving rates
and loads.
“Within the next year or two
Newberry’s budget will exceed
two million dollars annually.
The system that is being re
commended will provide infor
mation concerning all of these
funds so that sound manage
ment decisions can be made in
the handling of investments.
“Other governmental agencies
are always asking for detailed
reports concerning municipal
operations. Many of these re
ports take days to compile.
With the new system these re
ports can be compiled in min
utes.
“This system was developed
in the computer age to assist
small cities to keep abreast of
the changes that are taking
place throughout this country.
We need to keep pace.”
