D�;C? - It) oS, -0t3 <br />Chair Jacobs: Unless there are questions, I need a motion to refer the Class A SUP <br />application to the Planning Board for review and comment with a request that a <br />recommendation be submitted no later than August 14, 2008. <br />Geof Gledhill: Mr. Chair, let me suggest that the action you take is to adjourn the public <br />hearing to the meeting you want to consider this again to receive the Planning Board's <br />recommendation and any additional written evidence that's submitted to the Planning Board in <br />the meantime. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to adjourn <br />the public hearing to August 19, 2008 to receive the Planning Board's recommendation, along <br />with any additional written evidence submitted to the Planning Board. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />S. Regular Agenda <br />a. Approval of Fiscal Year 2008 -09 Budget Ordinance, Capital Protect <br />Ordinances. and Grant Proiect Ordinances <br />The Board considered adopting the County's budget ordinance-School and County <br />capital project ordinances, and County grant project ordinances for fiscal year 2008 -09 and <br />authorizing a Parks Conservation Technician 11 position, effective October 1, 2008, at no <br />additional cost to the FY 2008 -09 approved General Fund Budget. <br />Laura Blackmon made reference to the abstract, which outlined the decisions of the <br />Board at the last work session. <br />Chair Jacobs pointed out that the County Commissioners were handed a written <br />explanation of two shifts in the funding in the Sheriff's Department and the Health Department <br />that would not incur additional costs. This includes hiring of two new deputies in the Sheriffs <br />Department and a continuation of the Volunteer Coordinator position. in the Health Department. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked that an explanation be provided for these two changes. <br />Donna Coffey said that, according to the numbers, there would be no additional cost for <br />the two Sheriffs Deputies. The cost of the Volunteer Coordinator would be $3,971. Instead of <br />being an Administrative Assistant I, it would be a Volunteer Coordinator. This is a trade. The <br />Sheriffs proposal is to trade vehicles for two deputy positions at no additional costs to the <br />County. <br />Commissioner Foushee said that those positions would include benefit costs associated <br />with the staff. <br />Commissioner Gordon did not understand how the amounts could be exactly the. same. <br />Donna Coffey said that the revenues associated with the Administrative Assistant I position <br />would also transfer to the Volunteer Coordinator. That is how there is a wash of County funds. <br />Health Director Rosemary Summers said that there is some carry forward money that <br />-has not been expended that will be continuation funding from the State in future years. This <br />funding will be used to make up the difference in the Volunteer. Coordinator's salary. In future <br />years, there will be a permanent allocation from the State. She said that the revenue <br />projections are $15,000 for the Administrative Assistant and $21,000 in Medicaid administrative <br />draw downs, and the additional $10,000 carried forward from this year. There is also $10,000 <br />from CERT, but that is already assigned to the Volunteer Coordinator position. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she would like a proposal for this and the numbers. <br />Commissioner Carey suggested that the Board approve this change in position and ask <br />the Health Director to bring the numbers back in August, since it will not increase the spending <br />for personnel. <br />The Board agreed. <br />
