I make that in the form of a motion.


Councilmember Leader: Second.


Councilmember Sutton: Councilman Raben? The item after, could you repeat from 3280 down through about 3610? I want to make sure I’ve got those correct.


Councilmember Raben: Gladly. 3280 is $100, 3410 100, 3420 20,000, 3490 20,000, 3535 zero, 3600 4,565,626, 3610 100,000, 3760 20,000, 3850 438,964, and 3931 20,000, and 4433 zero.


Councilmember Sutton: Thank you.


President Abell: Mr. Raben, I have a question on 3850. It says 436,007 and then the cut has -2,957, but I think we added it.


Councilmember Raben: Yes, we did. What was listed in the book was incorrect. The correct amount needed was 438,964, so its actually an addition of 2,957.


Councilmember Sutton: So a negative is a positive on the sheet.


President Abell: Just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a typographical error.


Councilmember Sutton: Right.


Councilmember Shetler: Councilwoman Abell?


President Abell: Did you have a second to your motion?


Councilmember Leader: I did. I seconded it.


President Abell: Roll call vote. I’m sorry, Mr. Shetler.


Councilmember Shetler: Just a point here, 3030 is the ARC funding and I know things are tight and we’ve got to watch the line on the county tax dollars and I understand that and appreciate that. I would hope, though, that we would be able to find some kind of an increase in one of the funds that we might be able to help out the ARC. They do a lot for our community and I think its an important activity and stuff that they do for us. So I would hope that, in this process in the next couple of weeks, we could find another source to increase their funding somewhat, because I think its been stagnant for the last 15 years or so. So just a comment, thank you.


President Abell: Mr. Shetler, you might want to check. I asked the County Commissioners to see if there’s any possibility to use their Welfare-to-Work money for that. You might want to check with them on that. Roll call vote.


Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton?


Councilmember Sutton: Just kind of to respond back to that last comment. I think there might be some sources, but we can, on that Riverboat dollars, there’s some unappropriated balances they might be able to look in that direction. The Welfare-to-Work money, I think we would shy away from, if we could, from that particular line item. Other than that, yes.

Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton?


Councilmember Sutton: We did say at the early part of the meeting that the assumption is that we’re still working, and, of course, we’ve got some things worked out, but the assumption is a three percent increase on salaries for next year.


Councilmember Raben: That is the intent with this budget, yes. I’m glad you mentioned that. We probably should have discussed that in the early going, but yes, that is my intent and I hope everyone’s here, that, in the passage of this budget, we’ll be able to provide the three percent.


Councilmember Sutton: Because I know there’s been some budgets along the way that we’ve covered and we’re going to cover, that weren’t step increases necessarily, that were above the three percent range. I just wanted to make sure we’re very clear that we are staying along that vein with a three percent.


Councilmember Raben: Exactly. If it’s not a step increase or, you know, something like that, they’ll all be set at three percent.

Councilmember Raben: Next, Madam President, I would move that, which I’d like to stop there. We could set in the Reassessment budgets today, but there’s really no need. We can finalize those at our September 12th meeting. For some of you, this is new material, so I’d like to give you a little more time to look at it. But what I would like to do is make another motion that simply states, any budgets that we have not made cuts in today, with the exception of Reassessment budgets, will be approved as listed. We will follow up and give this our final blessing on September the 12th. And I guess just to clarify some things for folks in the audience, the Airport, the Convention & Visitors Bureau, any budget that was not discussed today or cuts made, they’ll be approved as listed. And again, that will all be finalized September the 12th. But that’s my motion.


President Abell: It’s your intent that they won’t be touched, but we might have to?


Councilmember Raben: That can apply for any budget in this.


President Abell: Just wanted to make sure that someone didn’t feel comfortable and we might be having to take something out of their budget. Is that a motion, Mr. Raben?


Councilmember Raben: Yes, ma’am.


President Abell: I need a second.


Councilmember Winnecke: Second.

Councilmember Raben: Okay, and, Madam President, just to give everybody an update as to what these cuts represented today, these cuts represent a little over 6.1 million dollars before we make salary adjustments that Councilman Sutton referred to earlier and that’s before we set in our final insurance line that’s within the County Council’s budget. So the total cuts, you know, if everything goes as planned, September the 12th, we should be knocking on the seven million dollar door. So that’s where we’re at today.


President Abell: Good job. Anyone have any questions? Mr. Goebel?


Councilmember Goebel: I’d just like to thank Councilman Raben for all his hard work and, going through this, he’s helped us a lot to understand procedure and he’s spent a lot of hours and he deserves a lot of credit. Thank you, James.


Councilmember Raben: That’s very kind of you. I did, since you’re thanking people. I did neglect to – and I usually save this for September the 12th, but there are some folks in here that really dedicate a lot of time as well with this budget and that’s our Executive Assistant, Sandie Deig, our County Auditor, Bill Fluty, and Sandie’s assistant, Sarah Nunn. So those are the folks that really work hard, too. So thanks again.


President Abell: Anyone else? We’re running out of tape, so I’m going to make this quick, but just for the officeholders who did voluntarily cut your budgets, thank you. We’re adjourned.
