He said the amount was based on the county's population of 122,660, and the dues had increased by $3,194. He said that in order for a governmental entity to withdraw its membership from the council, a six-month notice was required. He also said the current annual fee was $17,965. Mashburn said the policy pertaining to "free hours" had been changed. REGISTER OF DEEDS: Mashburn said the Register of Deed's position was studied in the recent classification plan. He said this department collected more in fees than it took for its operations, but he said the revenue belonged to county. He said there were several other departments, e.g., tax collections, that generated more revenue than it took to sustain their offices. No changes from the county manager's recommendation. COURTS: Mashburn said it was the county's responsibility to provide space for the courts. He said the cost for the security guards in the past had been included in the jail budget-, however, for the upcoming year, the costs had been placed in the courts budget.

No changes from the county manager's recommendation. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Mashburn said two new positions (civil execution deputy and crime analyst) were being recommended for the sheriffs department.

FIRE MARSHAL: Mashburn said a new vehicle was being recommended for this department to replace a 1990 Dodge Ram Charger. Commissioner Bowles said he felt gas mileage should be a factor when purchasing the new vehicle. He said it was his understanding that Ford Expeditions were heavy users of fuel. Blumenstein said good gas mileage would be a factor when the purchasing agent went out for vehicle bids. No changes from the county manager's recommendation.
