Social Services Director Nancy Coston said that the eight positions being eliminated will have an impact on services, but she tried to minimize the impact as much as possible. Commissioner Pelissier asked about the child care subsidies that were reduced about $800,000 and she asked how this would affect the services. Nancy Coston said that in the past there has been a federal allocation and there is no impact. This year, she does not know what the County will have for this. If there is not more money, then some children will have to be taken off the list. • Tax Administration This was on page 34-1. The total expenditure for this department is $2.2 million. This is a decrease of $80,000. There has been reorganization within the Tax Assessor and Revenue departments to form this one department. This did eliminate some vacant positions for a total of $100,000. Also, two vacant positions will be held vacant for six months. Staff continued to summarize the information on reductions. Commissioner Yuhasz said that there was discussion about increasing the Equalization and Review Board from 3 to 5 members and he asked if this would affect the budget and Jo Roberson said that in a revaluation year it could have substantial implications. In a normal year, it would not have substantial implications. Commissioner Jacobs asked to flag for the future having the Manager and staff bring back an analysis of having revaluations more often than every four years. Frank Clifton made reference to the information distributed about the adjustments made to the final budget action entitled, "Listing of Budget Additional Information Items to be included in the FY 2010-11 Budget", and he went through the list of changes. A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to adjourn the meeting at 10:38 p.m. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Valerie Foushee, Chair Donna S. Baker, CMC Clerk to the Board
