REVENUE AND TAX BASE
A slide presentation was made. The general fund revenues were outlined including
the income that may be expected from the property tax, the sales tax, licenses and
permits, intergovernmental and charges for services.
MERIT PROGRAM
John Link stated that it is important for those employees who are doing an
outstanding job to receive merit. He has recommended in his proposed budget that the
effective date for merit be the employee's anniversary date. Performance appraisals
were discussed. Performance appraisals will be based upon a workplan and the result of
the performance of an individual.
HUMAN SERVICES
John Link went through the budget document highlighting particular changes in the
various departments.
Marti Cook explained the request for a nurse for the in-home care program. There
are certain tasks that can only be provided by a nurse. This service is provided to
citizens who otherwise would be in a nursing home. She explained she has talked with
the Health Department about this position and determined that the best way to provide
the service as well as the administrative duties is to have the position in the Social
Services Department.
John Link continued highlighting the Human Service Departments.
In the Department on Aging budget, Commissioner Hartwell questioned the figure for
transportation. He asked that this entire budget be reviewed this year and that the
entire financial cost of transportation as well as the current organizational structure
be studied. K
With no further items to be considered at this work session, Chairman Carey
adjourned the meeting. The next budget work session will be held on June 12, 1989 at
