President Winnecke: Would you please stand and join in the Pledge of Allegiance?


(The Pledge of Allegiance was given.)


President Winnecke: Good morning. Today is the day where we will place the budget figures into place with the exception of salaries and benefits. That will be done at our September meeting. The objective today is to go through the budget line by line and my intent is to not create a lot of floor discussion, that is bringing people to the podium. I am fine with having discussion among the Councilmembers. We have a lengthy book to go through. I think its very organized. I would commend all members of the Council. I would comment to those in the audience and for those of you watching at home, this is not, what I think is going to happen is not, I wouldn’t characterize as a republican budget or a democrat budget, I would characterize as a fair budget that really will help county government operate as efficiently as we see possible. This is obviously an exercise, we have a limit as to how much we can grow the county budget and I think all members of the Council have been more than participatory in the process. I appreciate everyone’s time, energy and patience over the last two and a half weeks. I appreciate the input from the officeholders and department heads who have worked with us in sometimes countless meetings to get to some numbers where we think are fair and equitable. Having said that, I will now turn the floor over to our Finance Chair, Mr. Raben.

First we’ll go to County Clerk, starting on page one through page two, page three, page four, I’ll move that all salaries including FICA, PERF & Insurance will be set in at our September the 13th meeting. Starting with account 2600, set that in at $55,000, and account 3603 $60,000, 4210 zero, and with this I’ll include page six, the County Clerk IV-D as listed and I make that in the form of a motion.

Councilmember Wortman: Second.


President Winnecke: Motion and a second. Questions or discussion?


Councilmember Sutton: Mr. Finance Chair, with some of these reductions to what was requested, I think we are fully aware that we will see the Sheriff’s Department back here sometime in 2007, and if not restoring, at least making, coming in for requests higher than what we are allocating here. Would that be a correct statement?


Councilmember Raben: While I’d like to say that we certainly want to discourage that as much as possible, on some lines, that may be the case. Some of the lines do reflect some substantial increases over what we’ve budgeted in the past, as an example, Food, that’s $150,000 more this year than we were able to budget for last year. But again, I certainly like to discourage that as much as possible, but with the understanding that, you know, there may be an occasion when someone has to come before us.


Councilmember Sutton: That’s kind of what I was, and particularly the Food and the Medical line items are two things where it’s a little difficult for us to know what the expense will be on those items.


President Winnecke: Mr. Tornatta?


Councilmember Tornatta: Yes, and in that vein, I think that we have to consider, we have 150 more people in that jail at this time. Looking at the past records is going to reflect 329, but 150+ more people in that jail would obviously bump all of those items up. So we might expect that there would be some type of comeback next year.


President Winnecke: Roll call vote please.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Tornatta?


Councilmember Tornatta: Yes.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton?


Councilmember Sutton: Yes.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Abell?


Councilmember Abell: Yes.

Councilmember Wortman: Second.


President Winnecke: Motion and second. Questions or discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Tornatta?


Councilmember Tornatta: Yes.

Teri Lukeman: President Winnecke?


President Winnecke: Yes.


1060-3371

Computer Hardware

0.00

(Motion unanimously approved 7-0)


President Winnecke: Mr. Raben, before you move on, maybe its worth noting for officeholders and department heads who have requested computers that when we are zeroing these out, they will be reinserted in the County Council budget later in the budget process, so just because you hear zero in a computer line item, does not necessarily mean its been zeroed out for you to buy computers for next year. But they will go into the Council budget.


CORONER


Councilmember Raben: Next under County Coroner, all salary lines including FICA, PERF & Insurance will be set September the 13th. Starting with line 2210 Gas & Oil $2,500, 2410 7,000, 2700 2,000, 2720 $7,000, 2730 1,500, 2740 1,000, 3530 4,500, 3640 35,000, 4210 zero, all other lines as listed and I make that in the form of a motion.


Councilmember Wortman: Second.


President Winnecke: Motion and a second. Questions or discussion?


Councilmember Sutton: This budget is another one of those where the amount of expenses is a little difficult for us to predict, but I guess trying to get to a reasonable range, we have to make some parings, some trimmings at some level. So we’ll see what happens in 2007. Hopefully, the levels will go down.


President Winnecke: And I would note, this is probably the first time that I’ve been on Council during this process we’ve not cut line 3650 during these proceedings, the Autopsy line, leaving that in as it is.


Councilmember Raben: Most of this, as we go through the budget, the items that we know typically come back and get us mid or late year of every year, we’ve tried to either leave them as is or add a substantial amount of money, like with Gas & Oil and the Utility accounts. And again, to Councilman Winnecke’s point, this is probably the first time in my history here that we haven’t cut this line. And so, that’s a big one. And that should be ample funding.


President Winnecke: Roll call vote please.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Tornatta?


Councilmember Tornatta: Yes.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton?

Councilmember Tornatta: Mr. Raben, they were talking about the ability to be able to have those kids come out in their Extra Help budgets during summer camps and to be able to provide services for the 4H Extension out in other areas. Is there an amount that we could put in the Extra Help that would allow them to at least get some type of program started or continue with their programs to be able to fund those areas?


Councilmember Raben: I would certainly consider or entertain an amount, you know, keeping in mind the mission today is to cut somewhere in excess of ten million dollars, so...Mr. President, I’ll rescind my motion and include in 1990 $2,000.

President Winnecke: Motion and a second. Questions or discussion? Mr. Sutton?


Councilmember Sutton: Mr. President, I think one of the more significant things out of this request that I would like to see more bodies take advantage of, and that’s the televising of the Area Plan’s meetings. I think that’s a very significant step on their part and will allow the public to really get a chance to see what is a very – that’s a board that a lot of people have a lot of interest in. The meetings are well attended, and those who aren’t able to attend will now get a chance to see government in action. So I’m really happy to see that included in this budget.
