Regarding reducing the water resources reserve to $50,000, Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to leave $75,000 in there. Commissioner Carey said that he proposed to reduce it to $50,000 because he thinks it may take six months to sort out which direction to go and Chair Jacobs agreed with him. Commissioner Halkiotis and Commissioner Foushee also agreed. Commissioner Carey said that he suggested reducing the Critical Needs Reserve by $200,000, which would leave $75,000. There is $225,000 in there right now, so this would still leave $300,000 to address issues that arise next year. Chair Jacobs said that they spent in excess of $300,000 this year and Commissioner Carey said that this year was an unusual year because of the mental health divestiture process. Commissioner Foushee said that Chair Jacobs' proposal has a reduction of $82,000, which is based on having the trust fund being able to be supported by the Critical Needs Reserve Fund. She said that it seems that reducing it would remove that ability. Commissioner Halkiotis agreed with Commissioner Foushee and said to leave the Critical Needs Reserve Fund at $150,000. Regarding the Courthouse Relocation Reserve, Chair Jacobs said that he talked with Pam Janes about using the OE Enterprises building and renting some of the parking. Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that the upfit is minimal and the majority of money is for the parking. The outside is more important than the inside. Commissioner Carey asked if $200,000 is sufficient and Pam Jones said yes. All Commissioners agreed. Chair Jacobs said that Commissioner Carey suggested deleting all Fairview Community Center funding and Chair Jacobs said that he left some in so that the County could still negotiate with Hillsborough. Hillsborough has not signed an agreement to swap land because there is a difference of opinion about siting the Public Works facility
