He recommends <br /> outright purchase of the equipment by.using: $45,000 of the water and sewer exten- <br /> sion appropriation in the CIP fund (which will leave $10,000 in that fund for this <br /> year); $10,000 from the Old Courthouse restoration project; $32,000 from the con- <br /> tingency account; and, $52,000 from the current year's Local Option Sales Tax <br /> (which is coming in at approximately 2h% above budget). <br /> Some Board members questioned using the water and sewer extension funds, <br /> saying they wanted to build that fund up over the years, even if it wasn't expected <br /> to be spent this year; some Board members questioned the commitment of Local Option <br /> Sales Tax monies. The members felt such a commitment would reduce the Board's <br /> flexibility in meeting unexpected needs during the budget process. <br /> Commissioner Walker moved, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, to approve <br /> the Manager's recommendation for outright purchase of the front end loader truck <br /> 0 and computer equipment (as outlined above). Vote: Ayes, 3 (Commissioners Lloyd, <br /> Walker and Willhoit); noes, 2 (Commissioners Whitted and Marshall). <br /> Commissioner Whitted asked that the Capital Projects be reviewed by the <br /> Board. <br /> E-20 BUDGET AMENDMENTS <br /> Commissioner Walker moved, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd, to approve the <br /> budget amendments as recommended by the Manager.
