B. 2002-2003 Health Department Budget Request Rosemary Summers presented the budget request to the board for their review. The county share is currently 57.8% of the budget and next year’s request will be slightly lower due to a steady rise in external revenue. State revenue overall dropped about $20,000 or about 1% of the external revenue. State funding is still fairly unstable. This budget accounts for level funding from the state. Motion to forward the budget request to the Orange County Board of Commissioners for the department was made by Alan Rimer, seconded by Martha Stucker, and carried without dissent.
