will continue until the permit is approved. The Health Director will work with the contractor to have the effluent moved to the OWASA system. Laura Blackmon said that County Engineer Paul Thames emailed her about this and she forwarded it to the County Commissioners. 2. NC Education Lotter Chair Carey said that County Commissioners raised concerns about lottery funds and two of the budget proposals include this issue. If these two changes are adopted, then things will have to be done differently. The original budget included budgeting this money in arrears. Budget Director Donna Coffey said that last year the State informed the County that it could count an $2.7 million in lottery proceeds far the current fiscal year. The County budgeted $2.4 million in an effort to be conservative. It looks like the County may receive about $2 million. She received same information from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction about the estimate for next year. It looks like the County can count on $2.1 million. This would break out with OCS getting $838,000 and CHCCS getting $1.3 million. Regarding the deposit process, by State statute, the Lottery Commission must make four deposits. However, the statute does not state when these four allotments have to take place. If the commission so chose, it could wait until the last four days. She said that the County cannot draw down the lottery proceeds until they are deposited in the account. This is haw staff came up with budgeting in arrears. Chair Carey asked haw the deposits were done this year and Donna Coffey said that there was a deposit in early October, in early March, and the last day of May. She is still waiting for the last deposit. There is about $66 remaining in this account because she has drawn it all down. Commissioner Nelson asked if there has been any hint that the money would be distributed any differently next year and Donna Coffey said no. Donna Coffey reminded the Board that these funds are distributed by the average daily membership numbers. The money can be used for debt service acquired after January 1, 2003. Commissioner Jacobs suggested making a request as a Board to have the Lottery Commission fallow a quarterly deposit procedure. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to make a request to have the Lottery Commission follow a quarterly deposit procedure. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Chair Carey said to send this off immediately to the Lottery Commission. 3.
