Fiscal Year 2013-14 Budqet Amendment#8 The Board considered approving budget ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2013- 14. Commissioner Gordon referred to section 5, which specifies a Hook-lift truck to be purchased out of the general fund. She would like to change this to say that the truck will be paid for out of the solid waste fund. Commissioner Gordon made a motion, seconded by Commissioner McKee to approve Fiscal Year 2013-14 Budget Amendment#8, with a change stating that the $190,548 Hook-Lift truck on number 5 for solid waste be paid for from the solid waste fund. Clarence Grier said staff had suggested funding through the general fund because the general fund supports sanitation to approximately $1.8 million per year. He said there are sufficient funds to pay for this from the Solid Waste fund if that is the pleasure of the Board. Commissioner porosin asked why Commissioner Gordon feels this suggested change is important when the Solid Waste fund is already being used to cover recycling cost. Commissioner Gordon said the Board still has not decided how to do the recycling costs yet. She said she thought there was a long range plan to do everything related to solid waste out of the solid waste enterprise fund instead of the general fund. She thought this transition was already happening, and she feels it should continue. She said the $1.8 million from the general fund was mainly there for historical reasons, and the solid waste convenience center fees were increased to wean off of this dependence. VOTE: UNANIMOUS d.
