Mr. E. Merlin O'Neill, Sr., Chairman
Mrs. Girone called the meeting to order in the absence of the
Chairman at the Courthouse at 2:00 p.m. (EDST). She stated the
purpose of this meeting was to have a year end budget review.
Board members were given a copy of materials for discussion
which included a Statement of Income, Statement of Expenditures,
Airport Financial Report, Nursing Home Financial Report and
Loss of Revenue Due to Tax Relief Programs. The Board was als°
given a list of vacant positions as of June 19, 1978; a
list by departments of part and full time employees on the
payroll by year from 1975 through June, 1978; and a summary
of the general fund projected surplus and revenue projections
as of June 30, 1978.
Lane Ramsey reported an anticipated surplus of slightly more than
four million dollars as of June 30, 1978. Mr. Meiszer explained
that it would be fiscally responsible to have a surplus equal
to sixty days worth of operating funds, or approximately five
to six million dollars.
On personnel matters, Mr. Meiszer suggested that any position
vacant for six months should be audited as to its continued
necessity for existence. 1,~. Meiszer also pointed out that if
you budget every position for twelve mor~ths, this generates a
built in surplus which is not readily evident throughout the
year.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Bookman, the Board
adjourned at 3:35 p.m. until 12:00 noon on July 12, 1978.
