SALARY INCREASES FOR THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES: A discussion took place with
the county commissioners and the county manager regarding salary increases for the
county employees in the 1983-84 budget.
The county manager, Wayne Deal, said he had recommended in the proposed budget
a 5% increase for all employees and a 2�% merit increase. The 5% increase would
cost $200,000, and the merit (2�%) would cost $100,000.
Commissioner Ostwalt and Campbell were against merit increases and recommended
the 5% increase only. Commissioner Campbell said he was in favor of looking at some
way to give salary increases which lets those at the lower end of the salary scale
receive greater increases than what they would receive with a five per cent increase
while those who were at the top of the scale would receive less than five per cent.
(Vice Chairman Murdock entered the meeting at this point.)
It was the consensus of all board members that a 5% across-the-board increase
would be included in the budget, and the 2�% merit should be deleted.
M' CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND: The county manager, Wayne Deal, advised the board that
he had included a Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $250,000 to be used for
replacement of heavy equipment and purchase of more land for a new landfill site in
the future. He said the board would need to adopt a capital projects ordinance which
would set forth how the money would be spent and the conditions under which it would
be spent. He said the county commissioners could change it in the future, if they
desired, but it would be somewhat involved to change the fund.
REVALUATION LINE ITEM: The amount of money allocated in the revaluation line
item was discussed. Mr. Deal explained that part of this fund was to be used to
finish the on-going revaluationproject and part of it was to be set aside for the
next octennial appraisal, which funding is required by law to be done each year.
DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS: The board members and county manager discussed the in-
dividual departmental budgets. Commissioner Mills asked that the county manager
consider bidding all radio maintenance together, which would include the sheriff's
department's maintenance also. Mr. Deal said he planned to handle it in this manner.
In discussing the sheriff's department budget, it was decided that it would be
left for a later date for approval.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES - FIRST RESPONDERS: Commissioner Mills requested
that a notice be posted at the EMS headquarters notifying the county's EMT's of their
eligibility to participate in the first responder program, if they desired.
ADJOURN: MOTION to adjourn from Commissioner Mills. Time: 11:00 p.m. Next
meeting: June 16, 1983, 7:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room.
Clerk
APPROVED: June 21, 1983. Recorded at Register of Deeds, Book 26, pp. 427-432.
