Vanderburgh County Council
President Wortman: The Vanderburgh County Council final budget session will convene now on September 6, 2000 about five or ten minutes late. We will open the meeting and we'll have a roll call first by the secretary, please. (Teri Lukeman called roll)
President Wortman: Would we all stand in the room and pledge allegiance, please? (Pledge of Allegiance was given)
President Wortman: I will entertain a motion for the approval of the minutes for August 8, 9, 10 & 15, 16, and 17, 2000. Councilmember Winnecke: So moved. President Wortman: Got a motion from Mr. Winnecke. Second? Councilmember Raben: I'll second. President Wortman: Got a second from
Mr. Raben. Any discussion on the minutes? All those in favor, raise your
right hand. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, okay. This is the
final budget hearing and the purpose is to complete this adoption of our
budget and establish the salaries and all employee's benefits and also
to recommend to the state what would be the proposed tax rate. Now today,
the Chair will only recognize Councilmembers until after the Finance Chairman,
Mr. Raben, has completed his duties. At this time, I am going to ask Mr.
Raben, the Finance Chairman, to begin with the Salary Ordinance. So, Mr.
Raben, would you?
Councilmember Raben: Okay, Mr. President. I would like to move that all county employees receive a three percent raise for the year 2001. President Wortman: Okay, got a motion on the floor for a three percent raise from Mr. Raben. Do I have a second? Councilmember Winnecke: Second. President Wortman: Got a second from Mr. Winnecke. Any discussion? No discussion, call the roll, please. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Smith? Councilmember Smith: No. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton? Councilmember Sutton: No. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Bassemier? Councilmember Bassemier: No. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Hoy? Councilmember Hoy: No. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Raben? Councilmember Raben: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Winnecke? Councilmember Winnecke: Yes. Teri Lukeman: President Wortman? President Wortman: Yes. Okay, the motion is defeated. (Motion fails 3-4/Councilmembers Smith, Sutton, Bassemier & Hoy opposed) President Wortman: Is there anybody on the Council that would like to entertain a motion to another? Councilmember Smith: Mr. Chairman, I make the motion that we give all employees in Vanderburgh County a four percent increase. We have proven that we have got the money and we have cut enough out of the budget and I think that they deserve it. So, I make the motion for four percent. Councilmember Sutton: Second. President Wortman: Mrs. Smith makes a motion and, Mr. Sutton, you second it, right? Councilmember Sutton: Second. President Wortman: Okay, any discussion on the four percent ? Call the roll, please. Mr. Raben, excuse me. Councilmember Raben: I don't want to carry this out too long, but I would like to go on record as stating that in an effort to protect the taxpayers of Vanderburgh County, I don't see that it is fair that we are not only going to absorb a fairly healthy insurance rate increase but by the same token to turn around and give a four percent pay increase, I think is asking a little bit too much of the taxpayers and that is all that I've got to say. Councilmember Smith: That is just a matter of opinion. President Wortman: Okay, any other discussion? If not, then call the roll, please. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Smith? Councilmember Smith: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton? Councilmember Sutton: I did want to add that given that we are absorbing some increases on the insurance side, we have been able to, through our Auditor being able to find that we are going to be carrying over a substantial sum from this year, so that will help in being able to absorb some of the costs that we are expected to exact with this increase. I am pretty excited that we are able to do a 4% raise. I think that our county employees deserve it and I think that if we have the ability to do it, which we do, then we ought to do it. So, a 4% raise, like I said, I am pretty excited about it. Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Bassemier? Councilmember Bassemier: Before I vote, the way the job market is today and our labor shortage, I think that we need to be competitive in order to keep our good workers and as long as it is not going to raise property taxes, and I was told it wasn't, I am going to vote 4%. Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Hoy? Councilmember Hoy: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Raben? Councilmember Raben: No. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Winnecke? Councilmember Winnecke: No. Teri Lukeman: President Wortman? President Wortman: No. So the 4% passes, 4 - 3. (Motion carried 4-3/Councilmembers Raben, Winnecke & Wortman opposed) President Wortman: Okay, next Mr. Raben, Exhibit A - H be approved in the 2001 Salary Ordinance. Councilmember Raben: Okay, we can take that and with that Mr. President, I would also like to add that everyone has been given a copy of the Salary Ordinance corrections along with title changes. I would like to ask that these be entered in as part of the minutes. I won't read all of the changes as we go through each budget but I will, in the case where we are zeroing a particular request on a new employee, I will hit on those as we go through each budget. But all other title changes and errors that are part of the book, the corrections are all right here and I will make that in the form of a motion. Councilmember Hoy: Second. President Wortman: Got a motion from Mr. Raben and Mr. Hoy seconded. Any discussion? Councilmember Sutton: Yes. President Wortman: Mr. Sutton. Councilmember Sutton: Yes, Mr. Chairman, the sheet that we have here, that list, all those positions and the appropriate salaries that go along with those, do those represent a four percent on there or three percent on the increase? President Wortman: Four percent. Councilmember Sutton: A four percent, okay. Thank you. President Wortman: Any other discussion? Call the roll, please. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Smith? Councilmember Smith: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton? Councilmember Sutton: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Bassemier? Councilmember Bassemier: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Hoy? Councilmember Hoy: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Raben? Councilmember Raben: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Winnecke? Councilmember Winnecke: Yes. Teri Lukeman: President Wortman? President Wortman: Yes. (Motion unanimously approved 7-0) President Wortman: Now, Mr. Raben, the corrections amendments, please. Councilmember Raben: Mr. President, we just hit on that. That was part of the prior motion. President Wortman: That was part of your motion. Okay, everybody understand that? Councilmember Raben: Again, I will mention it again. Everyone has been given a copy of the salary corrections along with title changes and these will be added to the minutes for this meeting. We can take another vote on it. President Wortman: Is it necessary, Councilmembers? He included that, is that satisfactory with you all? Councilmember Raben: It was part of the prior motion. President Wortman: Okay, everybody seems to be in agreement. Okay, continue, Mr. Raben. COUNTY CLERK Councilmember Raben: Okay, Mr. President, we will start from the front and work our way back.

President Wortman: Do I have a second? Councilmember Hoy: Yes. President Wortman: Mr. Hoy seconds it. Okay, any discussion? Councilmember Winnecke: Mr. President, I thought that we were considering line by line, instead of as a group by department. President Wortman: No, this is just the corrections. Does that sound right to you, Mr. Raben? Isn't that what? Councilmember Raben: Yes, if we went line by line and voted each time we would be here until midnight. Councilmember Bassemier: Mr. President, I think that he is wanting to make one change, or he'll vote no for all of them. Councilmember Winnecke: Yes, I would like to separate one. Councilmember Bassemier: He would like to separate one. President Wortman: Okay, does everybody understand this now? I think that Mr. Winnecke is asking about the one line item there, or one or two that he would like to delete and then vote on it separately. Mr. Winnecke? Councilmember Raben: Mr. President, I will amend my motion to exclude 1680 -1010 and all other items as they were previously mentioned. President Wortman: Mr. Hoy accepts that? Councilmember Hoy: I will accept that. President Wortman: Thank you, Mr. Hoy. Okay. Councilmember Smith: Uh, Councilmember Sutton: Yeah, he pulled it out. Councilmember Smith: Are you giving her two, is that what you are giving? Just one. Councilmember Bassemier: Right now, just one. He is going to take the other separate.

Councilmember Sutton: Congregation or audience? I don't want, I am just trying to make sure that we are on the right forum today. Councilmember Hoy: I just looked at you and saw a halo.

I would make that in the form of a motion. President Wortman: Okay, make that in form of a motion. Mr. Hoy seconded it. Any discussion? Call the roll, please. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Smith? Councilmember Smith: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Sutton? Councilmember Sutton: What was that levy one more time? Councilmember Raben: Fifteen cents. Councilmember Sutton: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Bassemier? Councilmember Bassemier: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Hoy? Councilmember Hoy: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Raben? Councilmember Raben: Yes. Teri Lukeman: Councilmember Winnecke? Councilmember Winnecke: Yes. Teri Lukeman: President Wortman? President Wortman: Yes. (Motion unanimously approved 7-0) President Wortman: Okay, any new business to come before this Council this day? Councilmember Raben: No, sir, Mr. President, but I would like to state before we adjourn that with the cuts that have been made today, the figure I have is not correct because we did let an employee slip by today that I hadn't anticipated. With these cuts, we should be at about $2,450,000. Mr. President, I would also like to state that it's been a pleasure working with everyone this year, and I think everything went smooth. One thing that I'm quite pleased with is a lot of the budgets are fully funded. A lot of the historically large accounts that we've re-appropriated money in two or three times a year, we pretty well funded with what they requested this year, so I think we have a very workable budget. (Inaudible.) President Wortman: Okay, Mr. Sutton? Councilmember Sutton: Yes, Mr. President, I'd kind of like to second that. I think the beauty of this whole budget process is that in 2001, the county will have some additional positions in place that we maybe had anticipated that we wouldn't be able to do but were able to fund. Most importantly, like I say, is that the county offices will be fully operational in terms of staffing and that the challenges that are kind of before us for county, we've done an excellent job in preparing the county to meet those challenges without a tax increase. That's a great thing. Even though we have a significant increase on the Insurance side, and we been all bemoaning that big increase, I think we are seeing some significant progress on this budget. President Wortman: Okay, Councilmembers, thank you. Everybody cooperated, I think. Everybody's got a smile on their face. Everybody's happy, and I like to see everybody leave that way. I'll entertain a motion for adjournment this day? Mr. Hoy. Do I have a second anybody? Mr. Bassemier. Councilmember Bassemier: Second. President Wortman: All those in favor say aye. Aye's have it. Meeting's adjourned. (Meeting adjourned at 1:10 p.m.) Recorded and transcribed by B. J.
