1.
Discuss the adoption date of November 30,2002 for the 2003 Budget.
(Requested by Commissioner Shepard)
6.
Approve 2003 Budget Calendar.
Mr. Chairman: The idea here is to adopt the budget at the second meeting in
November in order to get it out of the Christmas season.
Mr. Williams: I move that we adopt the November 19 date.
Mr. Hankerson: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
5. Report from the Administrator regarding the restoration of budget cut in the
amount of $154,041 to the Department of Family and Children Services.
I
Mr. Kolb: The District Attorney has stated that they can fund the Child Abuse
and Safe Homes programs for $40,000 which frees up that $40,000 that we have
budgeted in the General Fund to use toward the foster home program without hurting
those two individual programs. In addition to that the $154,000 was based on DFACS'
original request and we had cut that budget from approximately $230,000 to about
$190,000. We asked them if they could live with instead of$154,000 approximately
$120,000 and they have agreed to do so. Child Abuse and Safe Homes would still get
their money. That $40,000 would come from the Victims Witness Program displaced
money and the remaining $80,000 would come from contingency. That's our
recommendation.
I
Mr. \Villiams: I move that we approve the Administrator's recommendation.
Mr. Bridges: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
2. Review first quarter fiscal year 2002 operating statements and accept as
information.
Mr. Bridges: I make the motion that we accept this as information.
Mr. Chairman: I'll second the motion.
Motion adopted with Mr. Williams out of the room.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
