There will not be any salary <br /> increases. We do hope to restore merit pay, which can be between zero and $1,000. <br /> o The budget includes a 3-cent tax increase because we have a large increase in debt <br /> with the new jail opening this summer and additions on both senior centers and many <br /> other county projects and the affordable housing second slot of 2.5 million just went <br /> out for borrowing. <br /> o All departments except for seven that are human services/safety net departments <br /> (Child Support Services, Emergency Services, Health Department, Housing& <br /> Community Develop, Sheriff's Office, Social Services, etc.) had a mandatory 5%cut. <br /> Next meeting: Wednesday,June 16rn <br /> Meeting adjourned at 8:26 a.m. <br /> DocuSigned by: DocuSigned by. <br /> pmuutu <br /> Minutes reviewed by: Minutes accepted by: <br /> Laurie Paolicelli, Executive Director Anthony Carey, Chairman <br /> 6/22/2021 6/22/2021 <br /> Date Date <br /> 9 1 P a g e CHOCVB B 0 D Meeting May 19 , 2021 <br />
