salaries to reduce the number of hours worked and put people in
work crews to get the job done.
Commissioner Boone stated it was his understanding that the mandate
doesn't go into effect until next year.
Dr. Register said the law was passed last year which requires the
mandate effective June 30, 1995. There is talk about legislation
to delay this ruling. The General Assembly will have to act on
this because it was enacted last year.
Chairman Long stated that the law reads it has to be enacted by
June 30, so it has to be in this budget year.
Commissioner Boone advised that this was not the information
received by the North Carolina Asso. of County Commissioners.
The school officials referred to page 49 of their budget request
book which shows a letter from the North Carolina Department of
Public Instruction pertaining to this matter.
The county manager said that technically only one day would be
needed in the 94-95 budget.
Mrs. Gwaltney said this was correct; however, they had to be
prepared to jump into July for next year.
Commissioner Boone stated that this was put in as a continuation
item in this year's budget when in fact it is something that we
have to be prepared to do for next year if it is not changed.
Mr. Long stated that another area that he was concerned about is
the year-round pilot sites program. About $95,000 is budgeted here
with $380,000 being cut out of the proposed cut hoping to pick this
up as an expansion item. He stated that five percent would really
be tough, they would really like to have another $150,000 to really
make this budget work.
Commissioner Boone asked about the salaries for supervisors on page
27 of the budget printout.
Mrs. Gwaltney said that these were people such as line item
support, i.e., instructional, or personnel that are coordinators.
They are definitely administrative employees.
Commissioner Boone asked about page 28 and the item pertaining to
miscellaneous expenses for the board of education.
Mrs. Gwaltney said this is the line item that pays for the stipend
for the board of education. The amount of $17,400 is the board
stipend and $26,600 is the other items.
Commissioner Boone asked about contract security in the amount of
$125,000.
Mrs. Gwaltney said that is the security for each of the four
schools. This is for the normal school day as well as ball games,
etc.
Commissioner Boone asked about page nine of the budget request
which pertained to the deleting of $125,000 for the library at East
Middle School. Where does this item show up on the summation page?
Mrs. Gwaltney said it does not; however, she has asked the
commissioners to replace in fund balance the amount of $400,000.
The school system used $155,000 in the fund balance this year, so
they used $555,000. The $155,000 was used to pay for library books
so this is a revenue source they are eliminating and also an
expenditure.
