53 <br /> 1 Chair Bedford said she wanted the Department on Aging to keep the money, and to spend <br /> 2 it as best they can. She said that if Carol Woods keeps sending the funds, it might need to be <br /> 3 spent on something other than positions. <br /> 4 Commissioner Greene said this was a charitable gift that was directed for supporting the <br /> 5 MAP. She said for that reason, she wanted to stick with how it was given. She said it's not broken, <br /> 6 and they don't need to fix it. <br /> 7 Commissioner Carter said that there is a donor supporting important work in the county, <br /> 8 and they should try to fulfill the objectives of the donor. She asked if all the fund balance is due <br /> 9 to underspending of the donor contributions. <br /> 10 Janice Tyler said there are donations of other monies as well. <br /> 11 Kirk Vaughn said the balance is from Carol Woods because the other donations have <br /> 12 equal expenditures. <br /> 13 Commissioner Carter said she agreed with Commissioner Greene. <br /> 14 Commissioner McKee said that it was a gift, and he feels the same about this item as the <br /> 15 previous. He said that Carol Woods provides this donation and directly to be used as <br /> 16 supplemental programs communicated by the department to Carol Woods. He said that there is <br /> 17 communication between the department and Carol Woods on what the donation is used for. He <br /> 18 said the only option he sees is option 1. <br /> 19 Commissioner Portie-Ascott said she did not realize that all the money was Carol Woods <br /> 20 money. She said she supported option 1. <br /> 21 Chair Bedford said it seems to be clear now and she asked the department to spend down <br /> 22 the funds. <br /> 23 Kirk Vaughn asked the Board if they would like to discuss during the budget process on <br /> 24 how the Carol Woods funds are going to spent. <br /> 25 Chair Bedford said it's nice for the Board to know. <br /> 26 Commissioner Carter said she would like to be consistent across departments. <br /> 27 Chair Bedford said other departments don't receive large gifts. <br /> 28 Janice Tyler invited the Board to the steering committee meetings. She said they happen <br /> 29 once or twice per year and the next is on May 16t" <br /> 30 Chair Bedford suggested that it be an information item. <br /> 31 Commissioner Fowler said she didn't understand the question because they can't specify <br /> 32 how donations are used. <br /> 33 Chair Bedford said that now that option 1 is the choice, the donation discussion does not <br /> 34 come into play. <br /> 35 Commissioner Carter said she would want to have a fund balance policy discussion. <br /> 36 Chair Bedford said no one else has a fund balance except the Visitors Bureau. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 8.
