r-A*0ff- 09 3 Chair Jacobs: Unless there are questions, I need a motion to refer the Class A SUP application to the Planning Board for review and comment with a request that a recommendation be submitted no later than August 14, 2008. Goof Gledhill: Mr. Chair, let me suggest that the action you take is to adjoum 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. Reaular Aaenda a. Approval of Fiscal Year 2008 -09 Buda It Ordinance, Capital Protect 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 II 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 Sheriff s 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 Sheriffs 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 cant' 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.
