NW GUILFORD – Another municipal budget season has drawn to a close, and with – or in spite of – citizen and council input, all three incorporated towns in northwest Guilford County have ap-proved budgets for the new fiscal year that begins July 1.

Oak Ridge Town Council unanimously approved a $1,313,150 budget, keeping the town’s property tax rate – 8.63 cents per $100 valuation – the same as it has been since it was first imposed in 2004.

Also with a unanimous vote,

Stokesdale Town Council approved a $365,650 budget, while renewing its commitment to having no property tax.

Things didn’t go quite as smoothly in Summerfield. Keeping its property tax rate at 2.75 cents per $100 valuation, Summerfield Town Council approved a $1,945,029 budget with a 3-2 vote, with one of the major last-minute sticking points being over the inclusion of a line item expense for a $25,000 water and fire protection study; that amount was ultimately reduced to $9,500, but still contributed to Town Council members Elizabeth McClellan and Alicia Flowers

voting in opposition to the budget after a lengthy discussion in which they ar-gued it is the fire department’s responsi-bility to fund a water and fire protection study, and the town should not con-tribute funds for a non-profit entity to conduct a study. Flowers also disagreed with the town manager’s salary for next fiscal year including an 8 percent raise, saying that was excessive.

See page 14 for an overview of Oak Ridge, Stokesdale and Summerfield’s projected revenue and expenses for next fiscal year, or visit the towns’ websites for a complete line-item budget.

Inspections falling short at construction sites

by GERRI HUNT

STOKESDALE – After the incorrect instal-lation of municipal water system equipment at several construction sites, the Town of Stokesdale is looking for an inspector to come on board.

“We don’t have a [water system] man-ager, so we’re flying by the seat of our pants, and I think we’re getting whipped,” Mayor Randy Braswell said during a town council workshop on June 18.

Election fi ling period begins July 6Voters to head to polls Nov. 3NW GUILFORD – Candidates who wish to run for seats in Oak Ridge, Stokesdale or Summerfield may file to run in the 2015 elec-tion beginning at 8 a.m. on Monday, July 6.

Unlike in years past, candidates will no longer be able to file at local town halls; they must file at the Guilford County Board of Elections at 301 W. Market St., Greens-boro, or 325 E. Russell Ave., High Point.

Notices of candidacy must be received (not postmarked) by the Board of Elec-tions office with the filing fees by noon on Friday, July 17.

The northwest municipalities each have three council seats opening which are elected on four-year staggered terms.

Summerfield’s mayoral seat will also be on the ballot, for a two-year term.

In Oak Ridge, the terms of council members Ray Combs, George McClellan and Spencer Sullivan will expire this year. In Stokesdale, the terms of Frank Bruno, Bill Jones and Joe Thacker will expire. And in Summerfield, the terms of council members Dena Barnes, Alicia Flowers, Elizabeth McClellan, and Mayor Tim Ses-soms will expire this year.

The municipal elections will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Absentee ballots will be available on Friday, Oct. 2. The deadline to register to vote is Friday, Oct. 9. One-stop Early Vot-ing will be held from Thursday, Oct. 22, until Saturday, Oct. 31.

Stokesdale reverts to ‘pay as you play’ at town parkSTOKESDALE – Organizations that use Stokesdale Town Park at Martin’s Mead-ow will no longer have their fees waived in exchange for park upkeep.

During the June 11 town council meet-ing, Mayor Randy Braswell said the council should take over management of the con-cession stand, fields and field treatments, and not count on any other organizations – such as Stokesdale Parks and Recreation Association – for the work.

The town reverted to a fee schedule it already had in place, which enables Stokesdale residents to reserve the fields for $15/hour, the concession stand for $15/hour, and the picnic shelter for $30/hour. Non-residents pay an extra $10 per hour for a field or for the concession stand.

The issue also came up for discussion during a town council workshop on Thurs-day, June 18. Braswell said the park’s “beautiful” perennial rye grass was killed by SPR, on a lawn care company’s recom-mendation to replace it with Bermuda

grass; however, the Bermuda grass sus-tained major damage called “winterkill,” stemming from wet soil and heavy traffic.

Braswell said he has twice attempted to get park maintenance records from SPR, including costs and specific chemi-cals used to kill the rye grass. Scott Hoff-man, an SPR board member and director of its soccer program, attended the workshop, took notes, and said his No. 1 goal is to get the fields fixed and find out how SPR can help.

Council members complained about messes such as trash, sand bags and benches in the fields. They directed SPR to clean out the concession stand, where the organization was storing paint cans and items used for concessions.

“I’m not trying to turn it into a profit center down there,” said Braswell. “But other people use it, and want to use it, and it seems to not be working out exactly how I was hoping.”

What is the story behind the brown house on Fleming Road across from Muirfield Drive

(northwest Greensboro)? It is all boarded up and has a semi-circular drive. It has been that way since we moved here 15 years ago.

The house you are referring to is located at 2400 Fleming Road, across from an entrance to The

Cardinal. It sits off the road a bit, and has what looks like a small parking lot out front.

According to Guilford County property records, R.J. Calton of Raleigh has owned the 1,817-square-foot home sitting on 2.12 acres since April 2000. Prior to that, it was owned by his father, Greensboro business-man W.C. Calton Jr., who died in July 1990.

Elizabeth Benton says she “inherited” the job of dealing with the property when she became code compliance division manager for the City of Greensboro.

According to meeting minutes from the City of Greensboro’s Minimum Hous-ing Standards Commission, problems with the property began in 2010, when a city housing inspector determined that needed repairs had not been done.

Inspector Lori Loosemore told the commission in 2012 that code violations in-cluded peeling paint, rot, holes, obstructed downspouts, unsound windows and more. Commission Chair Tim Vincent said there were no concerns with the home’s interior.

At the time, Calton complained about vandalism. Vincent told him to come up with a timeline to bring the home’s exterior up to code. A month later, Calton ap-

peared before the commission again, and rather than provide a timeline for repairs, he announced that he didn’t intend to do anything to the property until he spoke with the police chief about protection against vandalism and break-ins.

Fast forward to 2015, and the City of Greensboro is still dealing with the property.

“We just finished asbestos testing, and I’ve issued notices of demolition,” said Benton. “When the new fiscal year begins in July, we’ll get all the information to

move forward.”

She said the house still contains a lot of items, which will be sold at auction before an asbestos abatement process begins; 30 to 40 days later, the city will request bids for demolition.

“I would love for the owner to sell it, as a last recourse. Some investors are trying to buy it, but he’s not working anything out,” said Benton. “We’ll be glad to work with new owners, and can rescind the demolition process.”

This boarded-up home, located

at 2400 Fleming Road in northern

Greensboro, is in danger of

being demolished by the City of Greensboro.

Board unanimously recommends approving rezoning requestSUMMERFIELD – The Summerfield Planning and Zoning Board, which met on June 22, voted 4-0 to recommend approval of a rezoning application for 132 acres at the Lake Brandt Road and Scalesville Road intersection.

Developers Buddy Lyons and Eric Dischinger of LD Equity Inc. and partner David Couch say they want to develop the property in such a way as to preserve the land’s natural beauty. The proposed subdivision’s 45 acres of planned open space includes 35 acres in conservation areas and 8.8 acres of common ele-ments with a 4.5-acre pond.

The Farms at Lake Brandt would be developed for 69 single-family homes, with prices starting at about $450,000.

On behalf of his mother and siblings,

Matt Hayes spoke in favor of the rezon-ing during the public hearing portion of the June 22 meeting. He said the prop-erty was purchased by his late grandfa-ther about 50 years ago as an operating farm and his family wants to make sure that whoever purchases it will develop it as a “high-quality” project.

“It’s time for us to sell,” Hayes said. “We think this (proposed development) will be well done and well received.”

As required by Summerfield’s devel-opment ordinance, the developers held an open house prior to the Planning and Zoning Board meeting so that nearby property owners could preview their plans, study maps, ask questions and voice concerns. Based on feedback they received at that open house, the develop-

ers added a fifth condition to the rezoning application – to include a 10-foot buffer of undisturbed trees at the rear property line – before going before the Planning and Zoning Board on June 22.

Neighboring property owners still expressed concerns, however, about the impact of 69 more homes, which would be served by individual wells, on their water supply and the potential for traffic accidents due to limited sight distance near the proposed development’s entrances on Lake Brandt Road and Scalesville Road.

Bob Dischinger, president of Evans Engineering, responded that immediately after hearing concerns at the June 16 open house, he spoke with NCDOT traf-fic engineers and was assured all traffic safety issues would be addressed.

The Summerfield Town Council will hold a public hearing for the rezoning application at its next meeting on Tues-day, July 14, after which it is expected to make the final decision on whether to approve the rezoning.

Construction workers empty rocks from fi ve-gallon buckets into what will eventually be the median between the northbound and southbound lanes of the widened U.S. 220, just north of the Haw River. Work began on the U.S. 220 project in May 2012, and is ex-pected to be completed in December 2016. As of May 15, 2015, scheduled progress was 79.1 percent, but actual progress was 46.62 percent. The project is running ahead of schedule on the north end, and behind schedule on the south end, but Kris Lorenz, DOT’s senior assistant resident engineer, says work is progressing.

Seeking memories of Ai ChurchFor nearly two cen-

turies, the church atop the hill at N.C. 68 and Alcorn Road has had various congregations, but for most of those years, it was known simply as Ai Church.

In 2007, Preservation Oak Ridge was formed as a non-profit founda-tion dedicated to restor-ing and maintaining historic structures in the Oak Ridge area. One of its projects is restoring the historic Ai Church, which had fallen into disrepair after decades of neglect.

Yard sales, auctions and dinners have raised funds for the work, done by a band of volunteers who gather at the site for workdays. They have cleared debris from outside and inside the church, shored up the foundation, leveled subfloors and replaced interior floors, supported exterior walls, replaced the metal roof, windows and doors, and added exterior siding that duplicates what was originally there.

As the group turns its attention to the interior of the church, it is preparing to add wiring, lighting and insulation, to rebuild walls and add air conditioning and heat.

“I was laying out the interior lights and realized I had no idea of what the interior

looked like,” said Doug Nodine, Preserva-tion Oak Ridge president. “I believe it was illuminated by a carbide lighting system.”

Local resident Dorothy Andersson has helped the organization envision what the church may have looked like and Nodine hopes former congregants will step forward with memories as well.

“I think it is important to find people who attended the church in the 1920s and 1930s and see if they can remem-ber any details of the interior, or have any photos of the interior… maybe old wedding photos,” he said. “Their recol-lections will aid us in determining how to restore the interior.”

Anyone with memories or old photos is invited to contact Nodine at (336) 644-1777 or [email protected].


As Preservation Oak Ridge starts work on the interior restora-tion of Ai Church, the organization hopes to hear from people who may have attended church there in the 1920s and 1930s.

STOKESDALE town council

June 11 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by GERRI HUNT

Mayor Randy Braswell called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. and Guy Andrews said the opening prayer, which was followed by the Pledge of Alle-giance. The council reviewed and adopt-ed the meeting agenda, then approved 2014 minutes from a budget workshop on April 15, council workshops on Sept. 4, 26 and Oct. 10, and regular council meetings on Sept. 11 and Oct. 9.

PUBLIC HEARING Rezoning RS-40 to CU-PD-R. LD Equity request-ed the rezoning of 88.4 acres on Ever-sfield Road at Treeline Road from RS-40 (Residential Single-Family) to CU-PD-R (Conditional Use-Planned Development-Residential); the developer is proposing

a 90-lot development.

Les Eger, deputy planning director for Guilford County, presented a sketch plan of the development, which the Stokes-dale Planning Board recommended for approval at its June 4 meeting, with two additional conditions: the minimum lot size will be 20,000 square feet, and a buffer of native vegetation with about eight trees per 100 feet will be installed along Eversfield and Treeline roads.

5 0 to approve the sketch plan with conditions.

Proponents Greensboro attorney Mark Isaac-

son said the proposed development is more efficient (because of homes being

clustered on smaller lots) and environ-mentally conscious than what could be built with the RS-40 zoning, which would allow up to 87 homes on lots of about one acre each.

Isaacson noted that with the pro-posed PD-R zoning, the property’s four streams could be within common areas maintained by the homeowners associa-tion. According to the town’s develop-ment ordinance, RS-40 zoning would require only 2.25 acres of open space in this development, whereas the PD-R zon-ing will allow smaller lots in exchange for more than 30 acres of open space.

The attorney stressed that the de-veloper will pay to extend public water to the site, creating an opportunity for nearby residents to hook on as well.

Opponents David Virost of Eversfield Road

said a letter sent by the developer to nearby property owners described a “community-style development of ap-proximately 1 unit per acre,” with about 30 acres of open space on 89 acres; however, the proposed 90 homes would be on lot sizes of 20,000 to 24,000 square feet. As for the streams, they are protected by law, regardless of whether an HOA takes care of them.

Mark Lawson of Treeline Road said he was not opposed to the rezoning, but asked council to consider defining what the developer could legally be held to, such as the size of buffer trees, and whether the 30 acres of open space could be rezoned at a later time.

Obie Harris expressed concern about water runoff, which might contain oil and gas from road surfaces, and drain-age from the development’s entrance to his properties across Eversfield Road. He also said the development entrance was in a dangerous curve where several wrecks have occurred, he didn’t want to smell the sewer system, and schools are already overcrowded.

Rebuttal. Isaacson said the letter referred to a density rate (of one unit per

acre) “which compares apples to apples in a zoning matter.” Buffer details will be included in an upcoming technical review of a unified development plan, which will be presented to the town’s planning board.

Open space owned by the HOA will be permanently reserved, recorded with the Guilford County Register of Deeds, and cannot be rezoned in the future, he said, adding that school overcrowding would be addressed by the school board.

Bob Dischinger, president of Evans Engineering, said the underground septic system would not smell. On a safety note, DOT and developers are looking at “laying back slopes for longer sight distances” for drivers, which will be addressed in the preliminary plat stage. They’re also determining how increased water runoff can be distributed into common elements, he said.

In rebuttal to the rebuttals, Harris questioned how water running from the entrance can be slowed down before running straight into his house. Eger and Dischinger replied the water would be collected in a ditch on the develop-ment’s side of the road.

Michele Neal of Treeline Road asked when the property was rezoned from agriculture to RS-40, and Eger said it was in 2008. She said landowners and people in the community should have a clear understanding of what is happening.

Mayor Braswell said he agreed with comments about the letter being un-clear, and liked that the requested PD-R rezoning includes conditions for things such as buffers.

“But it does seem to kind of be like, ‘hurry up, we’ve got to do this tomor-row,’ and I don’t like that,” he said, making a motion to continue the public hearing at the July 16 council meeting.

Councilman Joe Thacker said infor-mation on the buffer, design and rezon-ing process is available at Town Hall, and the town’s development ordinance offers many answers.

Councilman Bill Jones said a Public Hearing sign had been posted on the property for 30 days, giving citizens time to seek information.

Councilman Frank Bruno suggested having a special-called meeting in two weeks instead of waiting until next month’s council meeting to vote; Bras-well accepted that as an amendment to his motion, and chose a date.

2 3 for the public hearing to be continued at a special-called meet-ing on June 25 (Braswell and White-Lawrence voted yea, Thacker, Jones and Bruno voted nay).

3 2 to approve the rezon-ing from RS-40 to CU-PD-R, including the sketch plan and its two conditions. (Thacker, Jones and Bruno voted yea, Braswell and White-Lawrence voted nay).

PUBLIC HEARINGFY 2015-2016 budget

Mayor Braswell opened a public hearing for the proposed fiscal year 2015-2016 budget. Bruno noted the water system has a balanced budget.

“I give credit to [town Finance Of-ficer] Carolyn Joyner and council; we spent hours going through stuff – I don’t think people realize how much number crunching there is to make this work,” he said. “I’m very happy with where

we’re at. We just want to make sure we keep it going the way it is.”

Jones said a lot of credit also goes to citizens who paid increased water fees.

Braswell asked Joyner if the proposed $207,000 for purchasing water included a 9-percent increase from water provider Winston-Salem and she said yes.

With no citizens speaking on the budget, the public hearing was closed.

5 0 to approve the proposed budget and budget ordinance with no changes.

NEW BUSINESSSheriff’s report. Councilman Bill Jones gave the report for Dep. Scott Casey and said building materials were stolen from two construction sites off Eversfield Road and two residences were broken into. Jones advised citizens to keep an eye out for each other, and said he would like to see a community watch program begin.

Linear Park. Bruno noted that Sue and Craig Lukens, who had taken care of the downtown park for years, recently moved to Mount Airy. While volunteers still care for the plants and flag, someone will ei-ther need to volunteer to mow the grass, or the town can pay to have it mowed.

“It’s a park in downtown that’s been privately maintained, but I don’t think we want it to become an eyesore,” said Bruno.

Councilman Joe Thacker questioned using taxpayer money to maintain pri-vate property, although it’s unclear who owns portions of the strip of land.

Southard Road resident Tim Jones, who was in attendance, said he and his brother hold a deed to part of Linear Park. The town should not start spend-ing money on it because the spending will just increase over time, he said.

Braswell closed the discussion by say-ing, “This is an awesome town – some-body’s going to pick up the mowing [at Linear Park].”

Community Day. Bruno said, after a good turnout at the May 2 Community Day at Town Hall, many people have requested another one; he suggested Saturday, Oct. 3, with a $300 to $400 budget.

Facility use agreement. Braswell said a council member should be a liaison between the town and organizations using Stokesdale Town Park, and orga-nizations should pay an hourly rate to use the park.

“The Council has worked hard to create an environment where these groups could have sweat equity in that park; it’s not working out,” said Braswell. “It’s time for the Town Council to take over management of the concession stand, fields, treatments on fields… and not count on any group to do that.”

For more on this discussion, see News Briefs, p. 3.

Stokesdale Parks and Rec submit-ted a facility use agreement to use the ball fields, picnic shelter and conces-sion stands seven days per week from Aug. 17 to Nov. 15.

5 0 to approve the facility use application, contingent on SPR paying fees and working out scheduling con-flicts with the football league.

Eagle Scout Project. For his Eagle Scout project, a Scout built awnings over benches at the town park, but the town has no paperwork on the project. Corn-

hole games were to be part of the project, but have not been seen. The benches were previously constructed as an Eagle Scout project by the Scout’s brother.

White-Lawrence said the awnings are not stable, and their locations offer no shade. The town will contact the Scout about the project.

Candidate filing fees. Candidates for the November election must submit paperwork to the Guilford County Board of Elections by noon on July 17. Candi-dates can no longer file to run for office at local town halls. For details, see News Briefs, p. 3.

5 0 to keep Stokesdale’s candi-date filing fee at $5.

WATER SYSTEMCitizens’ comments. Mary Maness of Tree Court noted that only seven of 20 houses on McCrory Road are connected

to the municipal water system. She said when water rates increase in November, the town will lose customers, and the town needs to figure out a way to make people hook up.

Jaycee Spruill is one of 35 residents on Happy Hill Road, and signed up for water more than a decade ago.

“A lot of houses have been built there since then, and two developments on Van Hoy Road will probably hook up to water,” he said. “I don’t want my money back, I want my water.

“My well gives me 15 gallons per minute, so I’m not starving for water. It’s the maintenance on well pumps, water tanks… you can eliminate all that if you have [municipal] water.”

Regarding extending water lines to Spruill’s area, Thacker said the town running the water system at a deficit has been a holdup. Within the next few

months, he said he hoped council could develop a five-year plan for when citi-zens can expect to be able to connect.

Braswell noted that new develop-ments are bringing much-needed revenue to the water system.

Water system committee. Braswell said water officials in Winston-Salem, which sells water to Stokesdale, have requested the town have a water system committee; he suggested forming one with two council members, major water users and citizens with water system expertise. The committee will work on projects such as creating an emergency plan for the system, future rates and the system as a whole. Braswell and Thack-er agreed to serve on the committee.

Meter box and connection approvals. Braswell said MBD Consulting Engi-neers lacks the manpower to continue inspecting water connections and water meter boxes at new developments. The utility director in Winston-Salem recom-mended the town hire a water system operator.

Braswell said the town needs an inspector who can tell a developer that a meter cannot be installed until a meter box meets certain specifications.

Council set a workshop for 2 p.m. on June 18 to discuss a water operator, a water incentive program, and town park maintenance.

N.C. One Call Center. Town clerk Carolyn Joyner said beginning in 2016, municipalities will be required to join the One Call Center, and require excavators to call 811 before digging in order to confirm locations of underground utili-ties. Joyner said it will cost 83 cents per ticket to locate and may cost the town about $25 per month.

5 0 to authorize the town clerk to take the next step to join N.C. One Call Center.

COMMITTEE REPORTSOrdinance Review. This committee is losing its secretary, and is seeking a

replacement.

Finance report. Joyner reported the town spent $4,050 to install swings, mulch and move a play unit at Town Park, and purchased a Toshiba copier for $5,433 and a defibrillator for $1,079. She said the water enterprise account increased $12,668 over the prior month, and checking account ac-tivity was “routine.” The town received new water meters, but hasn’t received the $2,882 bill.

Budget amendment. Joyner said she didn’t anticipate needing a budget amendment to balance the budget for the remainder of the 2014-2015 fiscal year.

5 0 to purchase a $143.20 dif-fuser, an accessory on the auto flusher, at Braswell’s request.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Town Hall will be closed on Friday,

July 3, for Independence Day.

Braswell reiterated that candidate filings will be not be accepted at Stokes-dale Town Hall.

The planning board will meet Thurs-day, July 9, if it has cases to hear.

Town Council will meet again Thurs-day, July 16.

COUNCIL COMMENTSRegarding rezoning requests and

procedures, Thacker said residents can visit www.stokesdale.org for more information prior to Planning Board and council meetings, and attend Planning Board meetings. Joyner said citizens can also call the county or Town Hall for more information on rezoning requests.

Braswell said Bi-Rite fed hundreds of people on June 6 for Agriculture Day.

Bruno said Woodmen of the World is donating a 60-foot American flag to be unfolded at the July 4 Greensboro Grasshoppers game, and is looking for volunteers to help.

The meeting adjourned at 10:21 p.m.

Now building exceptional homes in two Oak Ridge-area

communities

Winston-Salem, whose utilities director has advised the town to hire someone with knowledge of water systems, valves, meters and more.

“We’ve got some real issues in these new construction areas, and we don’t have an inspector to say, ‘No, you can’t do it that way… we can’t put a meter into your meter box until it meets these specifications,’” said Braswell.

Problems have arisen at construction sites across Stokesdale.

“At Dawn Acres the contractor bored under Highway 68 on Memorial Day weekend, made the main line connec-tion, and we didn’t see it,” said Braswell, who thought the town was paying an engineer to look at the installation. “We didn’t see the bore… the ditch… the pipe… anything.”

Braswell called the installation in North Ridge off Prince Edward Road “a tangled mess.” There’s an open 2-inch water line in the weeds; the wrong meter box was almost used because the correct box was buried in mud; and another meter box is two feet lower than required, although a meter has been installed in it.

“Gene [Robertson of Yates Construc-tion] went to that installation five times and the meter box was not right,” said Braswell. “He got frustrated and put a meter in it. I told him not to put any more meters in [North Ridge]. That de-veloper is fine with it. He’s getting ready to give that to a homeowner, and I’m not fine with it.”

On Kandi Drive, a driveway drain pipe was laid over the town’s service line.

“Either that developer drove over the line with heavy equipment or he took our line and moved it, which is a viola-tion,” said Braswell. “The town was later notified that there was a water leak at the site, and after paying for its repair, realized the developer or contractor

should have paid for it.”

Around the corner on Wendy Gayle, a meter box was filled with water.

According to Braswell, the specifica-tions are standard general guidelines from the State of North Carolina.

“But if they see that we’re not on the site, they’ll just stick a meter box in there and let the town worry about it,” said Braswell, who noted that Yates Construc-tion installs the meters, but not the boxes.

“The town can’t dictate to a develop-er that he has to use our contractor,” he said. “So as long as they’re a licensed public utility contractor, those engineers will get work done to our specifications, but we don’t have any eyes to confirm [that it’s correct].”

The town had hired MBD Consulting Engineers for inspections, but the com-pany lacks the manpower needed to be the “town’s eyes and ears in these new development projects,” said Braswell.

“These are our five inspectors,” he said, motioning to his fellow council members. “That’s the only way I know how to do it right now.”

“I’m not saying this burden should lie on all future council members, but until we get somebody, we’ve got to be the eyes and ears,” said Braswell.

“In a perfect world, you’d have a water works man who is a full-time em-ployee. It’s a matter of funding it,” said Councilman Bill Jones, noting that more than 500 homes will be connecting to the water system in the next 10 years.

When Braswell directed Town Clerk Carolyn Joyner to begin the search for a certified operator, she suggested using the title “field person” or “water con-struction manager.”

“It’s not the job of the clerk. The clerk is doing jobs that are really not in that job description,” said Braswell. “We’re not chemists – that’s what an operator would be doing… testing water, looking in ditches, and maybe doing the water billing and changing out meters.”
