She usually puts in $150,000 for attorney fees, but this year she put <br />in $200,000. A lot of the attorney fee increase has to do with the Blue CrosslBlue Shield claim. <br />Board of Elections <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about a district tax and the cost for opening the polls. It was <br />answered that it would cost approximately $55,000. <br />Community Planning <br />Budget Director Donna Dean said that there was an increase in hours included in the Arts <br />Commission budget for the Director's position. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about the Visitors Bureau's budget and $59,000 in operations. <br />Pam Jones said that this increase is to cover rent and renovation for new space. <br />Commissioner Brown made reference to the Arts Commission and asked about the <br />justification for the increase in hours for the Arts Director. This is included in the position <br />information that was received in May. <br />Human Services <br />John Link noted that Cooperative Extension, Human Rights and Relations, the library, and <br />Child Support are providing services at the same level this coming year without new positions.

The <br />Commission for Warren is still receiving staff support. <br />Commissioner Gordon reinforced that the Commission for Women should be supported to <br />the highest level possible from the Human Rights and Relations Department. She would like to <br />see the Commission far Warren move to advocacy. <br />Commissioner Carey agreed with moving to advocacy and trying to prevent problems by <br />being proactive. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked how much of the budget would be allocated for the Commission <br />for Women and Annette Moore said that there is a line item of $5,000 for the Commission for <br />Women for administrative support. <br />Commissioner Brown asked for a specific breakdown on haw the $5,000 was spent. <br />Commissioner Brown made reference to the goals set by the Commission for Women and <br />suggested that they work with other agencies in County government so that so much time is not <br />spent in getting information that is readily available. <br />Commissioner Jacobs verified with Annette Moore that there was an ESL employee that <br />could answer calls from non-English speaking citizens. <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to the history of the Commission far Women in <br />working on employment equity. She would like the Commission for Women to work on this again. <br />Commissioner Brown made reference to the history of the living wage and how Orange <br />County has dealt with it.
