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