Macon Funeral Home, Franklin, Is In charge of arrangements. Report: Merger plan a boon for Waynesville, Hazelwood Dr. Larry Turner 252-3851 By Held K. Van Dine WAVNE8VB16 BUREAU WAYNESVILLE The financial benefit of a merger between Waynesville and Hazelwood should far outweigh the debt burden on WaynesvHle's budget, according to a town feasibility report Waynesville will have to cover about $400,000 worth of Hazel wood's outstanding debts and liabilities if the towns consolidate July 1, predicted Waynesville Town Manager Lee Galloway. But Waynesville also would gain an additional $33 million tax base, more town property, existing utility lines, and town buildings and equipment worth at least a half a million dollars, he said "I think it's Important for people to understand that, while Hazelwood has luoilitJes, it also has a lot of assets," Galloway said.

"I think the assets will more than offset the liabilities." If Hazelwood pays its bills as budgeted and has no unforeseen debts spring up, these are the liabilities the report suggests Waynesville would undertake in a merger: POWELL BILL? The state Department of Transportation found this year that Hazelwood had misused more than $211,000 of its Powell Bill funds -funds which are governmentgranted for the expressed purpose of building and maintaining street systems. Hazelwood has been setting aside $5,000 a month to replenish the monies, but will still have a deficit by next June. Whatever the deficit at the time of a merg er, Waynesville will have to set aside money to cover It, andor will have to spend the same amount on the consolidated towns' street systems. SALES TAX: The General Assembly passed a half-cent sales tax for local governments in 1983. One of the requirements for using the money was that a set percentage of the tax be set aside for water and sewer operations.

Hazelwood audits do not show a separate account for such improvements though, the report states. So Waynesville may have to set aside as much as $160,000 for the consolidated towns' water and sewer system, should Hazelwood show a deficit GENERAL FUND DEBTS: Hazelwood will still owe total of about $25,000 In general debts by the end of next June for outstanding balances on items such as a new police car and computer system. On the flip side, these are among the assets Ha-aelwood brings to the merger negotiations table: KTATt 1,16 quare foot town halVfire and police department completed in 1978, the former town hall building on Brown Street, the Ha-lelwood Town Park and ball field, a small vacant tract of land near the Haywood County satellite jail and a 17-acre vacant tract of land on Holt Creek. Hazel-wood's estimated tax base is $33 million. mDlTi A tair new computer system, a 1994 police car, a 1989 backup police car, a 1978 fire truck, a 1974 fire truck, a 1987 garbage truck, a 1987 light truck, a 1976 dump truck, a 1989 backhoe and a 19C9 wood chipper.
