~~~ 4 Harvey Gay, Financial Director for the Chapel Hill/Garrboro School System identified expenditures and sources (see chart in the 1984-85 budget file). Expenditures included 10$ increase for all employees, 4.8~ increase for certified personnel, S19,D00 for the increase in hospitalization and 5~ inflationary increase. Funds include 5606,000 in fund balance; 5119,OOD by state stature cannot be appropriated leaving $487,000 available for appropriation. To offset the decrease in other revenue it would take 5116,000 from the fund balance and 5120,000 will be used for discretionary - local supplements, enhancements in the school programs for staff development, upgrading of a position and a new position. Identified needs from the fund balance total 5645,3$0. Thompson Hated, with regard to the reduction in revenue, the tuition revenue should be addressed through a rate adjustment and the County should not be supplementing that item. Additional revenues will be received from vocational education. Harvey Gay noted that the tuition will not be supplemented by the County but will be picked up out of their fund balance. Commissioner Whitted outlined what the Board was trying to accomplish through the budget: 1. Cover the salary increases in accordance with the state recommendation for local teachers and to cover the inflationary increase - that this was not a year that both could be accomplished. If the School Board made a choice to fund the nondiscretionary items plus the discretionary items out of their fund balance this would draw that fund balance down even further. If items are funded out of this fund balance which forms a base that the County will have a commitment for continuing, the Board needs to know of such expenditures. Dr. Mayer indicated that half of the items in the discretionary budget are commitments or supplements for three (3) year programs.
