Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford – Orange County Board of County Commissioners “We passed a budget last night without a tax increase. Unfortunately, employees will not get a salary increase or merit pay this year. We will revisit in September to look at revenues. Because we rely so much on property tax, we are not projecting much of a decrease in that but the sales tax, we are projecting a 4.5% decrease. That might be a low estimate. It is hard to say. Commissioner Rich works with the EOC and the emergency orders have been extended through August 31st. It was our prior policy that prevented having meetings during a crisis so we did amend that with manager approval that virtual meetings could be held and public meeting requirements have to be followed. It is slow st eps. We do have the mask requirement. We are trying to protect employers by using education rather than strict enforcement of the face-covering mandate. The numbers are increasing so we are not out of the first wave. We are talking recovery but there are two different thoughts there. It is very important that everyone try to stay safe while we try to help the economy recover.” Next meeting: Wednesday, August 19th virtual. Meeting adjourned at 9:16 a.m. ___________________________________ ____________________________________ Minutes reviewed by: Minutes accepted by: Laurie Paolicelli, Executive Director Anthony Carey, Chairman ___________________________________ _______________________________________ Date Date DocuSign Envelope ID: 8AD3FF29-5083-4B94-98F6-B99CC7D47930 9/3/2020 9/4/2020
