capital improvements.
If we adopted Mr. Madison's amendment we would have fund
balance to carry out some of the more critical capital needs. We
could meet some of the capital needs without any increase in the
tax rate and without further depleting our fund balance.
Therefore I can support his amendment.
VOTING: Ayes - 4 (Madison, Haire, Boone, Stewart);
Nays - 1 (Hamby)
The numbers changed by Commissioner Madison's amendment were
repeated by Mrs. Blumenstein.
Commissioner Boone said the sheet distributed by Mrs.
Blumenstein this evening reflected a decrease in telephone costs in
the amount of $3,700. This is not reflected in the budget, but it
is a reduction.
Commissioner Stewart inquired how these new figures reflect
the tax rate. Mr. Mashburn said the figures just increase the fund
balance. The tax rate stays the same at 45 cents.
Commissioner Stewart said if the tax rate stays 45 cents,
where does that money go that was appropriated before in the
budget. Mr. Mashburn said the funds stay in Fund Balance. It
takes less from Fund Balance now to balance the budget, since the
Board is not expending as much. Therefore, there will be more
money left in Fund Balance.
Mrs. Blumenstein said in the original budget in order to give
the schools that much increase, staff appropriated $1.5 million out
of fund balance. Since the money is not going to be given to the
schools, that much money will not have to be taken from Fund
Balance. Mr. Mashburn said the money is not "reserved" in Fund
Balance.
