would be to find someone to handle the purchasing.
Commissioner Williams said the Fire Tax Board had a plan for trucks but not for
the physical plants.
Phillips said this probably needed to be worked on this year.
Williams said that if the centralized purchasing occurred, he felt the departments
in the voted districts should be included.
County Manager Mashburn said the VFD contracts would probably need
something added pertaining to the purchasing method.
Commissioner Norman asked how much was purchased in a year's time.
Phillips said around $3 million.
EAST ALEXANDER FIRE DISTRICT: Blumenstein said the FY 03-04 tax
rate for this department would be reduced from 4.25¢ to 3.5¢.
MT. MOURNE FIRE DISTRICT: Blumenstein said the FY 03-04 tax rate
for Mt. Mourne would remain at 3.25x. (A total of $16,145 was recommended for
capital reserve.)
SHEPHERD'S FIRE DISTRICT: Mrs. Blumenstein said a $65,800 cut was
made to the Shepherd VFD request, and this occurred in an effort to maintain the 4.250
tax rate.
COURTS: Mrs. Blumenstein reviewed the Clerk of Courts request for four
work station cubicles at the Hall of Justice, and five two-line phones at the Government
Center South. Blumenstein gave the following quotes for the requests.
1) Two phone lines for Government Center South to be shared by five offices
$ 250.00 - five 2 -line phones
100.00 — one-time charge for line installations
960.00 ($80 per month for two lines -Clerk of Court Turner said long distance was not needed.)
$1,310.00 investment for first year
(County to provide inside wiring/jack termination for 28 voice & data lines to be
activated in the future.)
2) Four cubicles, 80 inches high with doors for privacy
Option A: $11,161 -cubicles w/ walls only, using existing desks and seating
Option B: $14,309 -cubicles w/ work surfaces and existing seating
Option C: $17,620 -cubicles wl work surfaces and new seating
It was the consensus of the board members to pay for thehp ones ($1,310) using
funds in the Government Center South budget (line item 458-5355.00/amount available
$15,000).
It was the consensus of the board members to delay the purchase of the cubicles,
and perhaps approve a budget amendment later in FY 03-04. Due to the anticipated
delay in the opening of the Government Center South building, the board members
noted there would probably be some savings realized in contracted services (security
guards). Any savings could then be applied towards the cubicle purchases.
FACILITY SERVICES: An amended budget summary sheet (manager's
recommendation) was distributed. The revised budget showed an $11,870 savings
found from contracting out for mowing services. The manager's recommendation also
eliminated one maintenance technician position.
