s/Sara K. Haire, Chairman
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
BUDGET ORDINANCE, YY 1994-1995s Chairman Haire said the
Budget Ordinance adoption was tabled at the last meeting to be
acted on at this meeting. Mr. Mashburn said there was a hand-out
to recap the changes the board made at the June 7, 1994 meeting.
The budget as originally presented was for $53,954,396. Since
the budget was originally submitted, the board has made changes.
All the early changes were included in the budget ordinance as
presented to the board on June 7, 1994; however, the changes made
by the board members after the budget public hearing were not
included and were being shown on the hand-out distributed this
evening. There were changes totaling $33,000 to be made from the
June 7th meeting. The new general fund total is $53,948,396.
These changes are reflected in the Fund Balance and in the proper
departments. This also includes the changes made in the fire
departments' budget as well, Mashburn said.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to adopt the 1994-95 budget
ordinance as amended and set the tax rate at 45 cents.
DISCUSSION:
Vice Chairman Boone said he wanted to reiterate himself saying
that the budget holds the tax rate at the same rate for the third
consecutive year. He said he had a concern about the funding for
the school projects, not the amount of funding, but that it uses
too much of the cash reserves. He has not been able to establish
a consensus on any other alternatives, he said. He said he would
like it recorded in the minutes that he was concerned about running
the Capital Reserves too low.
AMENDMENT proposed by Commissioner Boone saying that since
there is a good bit of money coming out of Capital Reserve, the
board should try to be conservative and hold on to what they have.
His amene that Hart of the budget that transfers
Sl00 000 from the Cao;tal Reserve Fund
for the Troutman EMS base. Boone said he thought this is a project
that is needed, but it may not have to be done this year. If later
in the year the board decides to do the project, then they could
bring the money out of capital Reserve Fund into Capital Projects
Fund by a budget amendment. However, for the time being he would
like to leave the money where it is, he said. He thinks the board
is going to have to take a tighter look at spending for projects.
