Commissioner Walker seconded Commissioner Pinney's amended motion. Further discussion ensued concerning the Social Services Budget. Chairman Garrett said, "Where I disagree with Norm's original motion is this, T thought we made it very clear to them ( Sacial Services Board) that they could not over-spend chore service, that they could not hire a Supervisor II if we sat down tha~ it was a 5upervioor I, you know, that we had a line item appropriation to them and T thought we made it plain that they could not come back and ask for additional County monies. I think it is unfair to give them ~09.and say the new request are in there, but where are you going to get it. It does not give them flexibility."
