show eight percent of last year audited budget which is a lower figure. Even though this figure may be lower, from the LGC's perspective it would still be eight percent. If this $196, 000 was taken from fund balance it would leave very little margin for error. He indicated he would review other alternatives. Discussion ensued on what the state is doing to the counties in expecting them to continue services but not providing the money. Commissioner Halkiotis suggested reviewing the new positions that are proposed to see if they can be cut or delayed. Commissioner Hartwell suggested taking some out of contingency. He suggested that the budget be adopted excluding this possible cut and if necessary, amend the budget at a later date. It was decided that other alternatives will be developed for further discussion. With no further discussion, Chairman Carey adjourned the meeting. The next Special Meeting will be held on June 12, 1990 at 1:00 in the Food Lab of the Planning and Agricultural Building in Hillsborough to further discuss the 1990-91 budget.
