Goof Gledhill: Mr. Chair, let me suggest that the action you take is to adjourn the public hearing to the meeting you want to consider this again to receive the Planning Board's recommendation and any additional written evidence that's submitted to the Planning Board in the meantime. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to adjourn the public hearing to August 19, 2008 to receive the Planning Board's recommendation, along with any additional written evidence submitted to the Planning Board. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 6. Regular Agenda a. Approval of Fiscal Year 2008 -09 Budget Ordinance, Capital Project Ordinances, and Grant Protect Ordinances The Board considered adopting the County's budget ordinance- School and County capital project ordinances, and County grant project ordinances for fiscal year 2008 -09 and authorizing a Parks Conservation Technician 11 position, effective October 1, 2008, at no additional cost to the FY 2008 -09 approved General Fund Budget. Laura Blackmon made reference to the abstract, which outlined the decisions of the Board at the last work session. Chair Jacobs pointed out that the County Commissioners were handed a written explanation of two shifts in the funding in the Sheriffs Department and the Health Department that would not incur additional costs. This includes hiring of two new deputies in the Sheriffs Department and a continuation of the Volunteer Coordinator position-in the Health Department. Commissioner Gordon asked that an explanation be provided for these two changes. Donna Coffey said that, according to the numbers, there would be no additional cost for the two Sheriff s Deputies. The cost of the Volunteer Coordinator would be $3,971. Instead of being an Administrative Assistant I, it would be a Volunteer Coordinator. This is a trade. The Sheriffs proposal is to trade vehicles for two deputy positions at no additional costs to the County. Commissioner Foushee said that those positions would include benefit costs associated with the staff. Commissioner Gordon did not understand how the amounts could be exactly the. same. Donna Coffey said that the revenues associated with the Administrative Assistant I position would also transfer to the Volunteer Coordinator. That is how there is a wash of County funds. Health Director Rosemary Summers said that there is some carry forward money that has not been expended that will be continuation funding from the State in future years. This funding will be used to make up the difference in the Volunteer, Coordinator's salary. In future years, there will be a permanent allocation from the State. She said that the revenue projections are $15,000 for the Administrative Assistant and $21,000 in Medicaid administrative draw downs, and the additional $10,000 carried forward from this year. There is also $10,000 from CERT, but that is already assigned to the Volunteer Coordinator position. Commissioner Gordon said that she would like a proposal for this and the numbers. Commissioner Carey suggested that the Board approve this change in position and ask the Health Director to bring the numbers back in August, since it will not increase the spending for personnel. The Board agreed. Commissioner Gordon pointed out that she was one of the two Commissioners that voted for the position that the Board is now restoring ( Volunteer Coordinator for CERT). There was no discussion on the two Deputies. Chair Jacobs said that the budget remains unchanged. . Laura Blackmon said that there is an addition in the abstract about postponing the West Ten Soccer Complex for a year and postponing opening Northern Park to April. The position needed to take control of this park would be starting'in October. Donna Coffey said that there would be no additional cost to the County with the addition of one FTE. Commissioner Gordon said that her understanding is that the only thing the Board cannot change is the tax rate, so if there is some mistake, then things need to be worked out so that the tax rate will not be changed. Commissioner Nelson said that he did not get this until 11:00 p.m. last night and he has discomfort in voting for this since he has not really read it, but he will rely on his fellow Commissioners. He said that when the Board had its retreat earlier this year, there were many goals with budget implications, but they were not able to review this and he feels like he was not an active part of this budget. Next year, he would like things to be done differently. A proposal for setting up money for energy efficient features was one goal he wanted to implement. Another issue was a request that came to him from people of moderate incomes that live near public water and sewer but do not have the financial means to hook up to it. The people were requesting that the County Commissioners set up a fund to assist families of modest means for this. He would like to request setting-up a Retreat Planning Committee with two members of the Board of County Commissioners working with the Manager. Chair Jacobs thanked the Manager and staff for the work done to get the Board to this point. He said that advocates are needed for the County and he has proposed that the Manager do this_ He pointed out that 80% of the cuts from the budget were out of the County. He expects that part of this is that the County Commissioners do not see the same amount of angst and pain from the staff as it does from the schools. He said that the Chair and Vice -Chair have talked about having another work session when the Board returns in August to disduss the budget process again. He would suggest writing comments to the Manager about the budget process in the fall, as has been done before. Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2008 -09 Orange County Budget: Commissioner Gordon asked about the changing of the positions that were just added. Donna Coffey explained that, instead of the Administrative Assistant I for the Health Department, it would become the Volunteer Coordinator Position for the CERT program. In Parks and Recreation, there would be a position added effective October 1, 2008, a Parks Conservation Technician Il. Commissioner Gordon asked if this would change the numbers and Donna Coffey said that it would not change the bottom line for the General Fund. Commissioner Gordon suggested additional wording for the resolution. A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Resolution of Intent to Adopt the 2008 -09 Orange County Budget, with position changes and the stipulation that the Board will receive the language about the changes in the financial detail.
