Commissioner Walker proposed that one half of the Revenue Sharing and the County sales tax reserve be used to fund the add-on list. He suggested that with regard to the Chapel Hill fund balance that a study be done tc correct the problem. He stated it would take an increase of 1.9 cent on the district tax to maintain an adequate fund balance. He recommended that the County Manager study ways to prevent the fund balance problem in the future. Commissioner Carey agreed that tighter control needs to be maintained over what happens to the fund balance - not only of the two school systems but of other agencies that the County funds. He disagreed with cutting from the add- on list the school nurse for the Health Department and the money for the animal society. Chair Willhoit disagreed with cutting from the budget the add-on request for the Department on Aging, Social Services, Home Health Agency, Library, and all volunteer agencies other than the $1500 decrease for Womens Health. Commissioner Marshall spoke in support of the word processor for Social Services indicating it would help with the extra workload they are experiencing. With regard to revenue sharing she proposed allocating 3/4 to help fund the mark-up list. Chair Willhoit clarified that the 1.8 million balance from the sales tax in 88-89 is only there because the schools have yet to identify the capital needs for 88-89 for which the money will be allocated. Bill Ray, farm owner in Cedar Grove, asked that the Board of Commissioners hold the line on the budget and not increase the property tax. Bill Dorsett, Chair of the Agricultural Business Council in Orange County, opposed raising the property tax. Gordon McDade, Roy McAdoo, Richard Daniels, Don Collins, Lilly Evans and Albert Cummins spoke in opposition of the proposed tax increase. Commissioner Lloyd commented about the fiscal responsibility of the Board and the need for additional industry to increase the tax base.
