~bs Commissioner Pinney then asked, "Can we renew the contract just as it is then:" Commissioner Whitted replied, "We have a whole person on board but with half of the money coming from another source last year. Now, that whole person is still there, but we wanted all the money to come from Title XX this year. 50, it would be a difference if you were only going to have a person four hours a day." Chairman Garrett said, "Look, let's see if we can agree on this - let's just agree to appropriate the $30,000.00 local match and just leave it until we can get more information." Commissioner Gustaveson stated, "More information has to come before even July 1st in clarifying this." Commissioner Walker said, "Alright, let's understand what you are doing. You are not hutting anything. You are increasing $30,000.00 over what the Social Services Board has recommended to you." Commissioner Whitted stated, "They did not make any recommendations. They submitted all of them to us." Commissioner Walker then replied, Right, but in that last Budget thing we worked up and approved, we were asking the Social Services Board to use restraint and we did not recommend that $30,000.00." Commissioner Whitted stated, "Yeah, but you recommended that we priortize the contract. You left it up to this Board as to which ones they were going to put up the local match on." Chairman Garrett stated, "He is talking about the budget money; we never got that budget." Commissioner Whitted inquired of Commissioner Walker, "Your rec- comendatian is that we cut out all projects." Commissioner Walker replied, "Yeah." Commissioner Pinney stated, "We need to take that $30,000.00 and put it into local share or total local share." Commissioner Whitted stated, "We are ta11d_ng about renewing the con- tracts with legal services and Council. on Aging." Chairman Garrett stated, "Not tonight. We will get into that when we find out more information." Commissioner Gustaveson inquired, "We are appropriating money?" Chairman Garrett replied, "We are appropriating money but we are not tonight deciding on the contracts, hoping within the next few days we are going to hoar something." Commissioner Whitted stated, "Right, but T am not saying we are closing it off either, but saying we won't until we know something further about the funding and re-allocation. Because:. T heard people saying we were not going to renew any contracts and it seems to me at some point between now and July 1, we will have to renew some contracts or either decide we are not going to fund them - one way or the other." Commissioner Pinney stated, "We ought to know something definite within the next 13 days." Chairman Garrett stated, "I was just seeing if we could get something in our Budget than we all could agree on so we could proceed with the approving of our Budget - if we can, I will assume there is a consensus for the $30,000.00 local match and if there is, let's move to other parts of the Social Services Budget to see if we earl get this o.~t of the•way toright.." Commissioner Gustaveson moved for the acceptance of the County ~~ianager's Budget for the Social Services bepartment.
