BUDGET WORK SESSION: At 8:30 p.m, the board began budget review. Mr. Furches, finance offi-
cer, reviewed the revenues with the board. He said because of erosion of the tax base through
elimination of inventory tax, exemption of household property tax and increase in elderly exemption,
etc., the County's tax base has decreased by $60 million. Based on a 46 -cent tax rate, this
represents $1 million in revenues. One cent on the tax rate generates $265,000 and is based on a
96% collection rate.
The board members discussed school funding and the unappropriated fund balance, but no deci-
sions were reached.
ADJOURN: Chairman Sloan adjourned the meeting 11:10 p.m. Next meeting is scheduled for
