REQUEST FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO LEVY THE THIRD ONE-HALF CENT SALES TAX TO BECOME EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2002: A brief discussion was held about the possibility of levying the third half cent sales tax, but the matter was not placed on the consent agenda. Finance Director Blumenstein said the $2.9 million referred to in the resolution did not include the withheld $330,000 in beer & wine money. She said Governor Easley had withheld these funds in 2001-02. A question was raised about any other revenues the State might withhold. Blumenstein said the beer and wine reimbursements were primarily all that was left. She said the budget approved by the General Assembly excluded about a $1 million for the Public School Building Capital fund, and the school systems would soon update the commissioners about their budgets. She said the county's Medicaid costs had increased by 50% since 2001. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Tice adjourned the briefing session at 6:40 p.m. Approved: —� / Clerk to the Board
