PROPERTY LEVY ON VARIOUS CLASSES OF REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE ANNUAL TAX Mr. Carmody stated the tax rate was advertised at 97 cents although the Board can reduce the tax rate. Ms. Durfee made a motion, seconded by Mr. Gecker, for the Board to establish the annual tax levy on various classes of real estate and personal property for 2008, including a two- cent real estate tax rate reduction and adopt the ordinance. Discussion ensured relative to the proposed decreased tax rate for the Charter Colony Powhite Parkway Transportation District. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Carmody stated in the first year the differential raised approximately $55,000 and raised approximately 126,000. He further stated it is not enough funding to initiate any activity in the design or construction mode. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated the special tax rate on this area was incremental at 15 cents. Mr. Gecker stated his understanding was that the tax rate in the special district would remain the same in order to get funding for the necessary improvements to develop that piece of land. He further stated he did not mind reducing the tax rate in the special district by two cents.

ADOPTION OF THE FY2009 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL PLAN Mr. Carmody stated staff recommends approval of the FY2009 Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME Investment Partnership Annual Plan. Ms. Jaeckle stated staff should have went back to the Advisory Committee and discussed the disparity between their recommendation and the County Administrator's recommendation. She expressed a concern over adopting this item as is, but stated she understands some changes could be made within categories. Mr. Carmody stated there is a federal calendar that must be met in which the county must have information submitted. In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Stith stated if the budget for CDBG was taken back to the Advisory Committee, then the Board would have to take additional action if changes were made. He stated he would recommend approval for this year and make the recommended changes for next year. He further stated funds can be moved around throughout the year if needed. Mr. Holland thanked Mr. Stith for the clarification and stated he concurred with Ms. Jaeckle's concerns. He further stated he was prepared to move forward with this item. Mr. Carmody clarified that the Board would have to approve the budget prior to sending it to the Federal Government. Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for the Board to adopt the FY2009 Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME Investment Partnership Annual Plan. Discussion ensued relative to the amount of disparity for funding for the CDBG programs and the deadlines for the programs and activities. Mr. Warren called for a vote on the motion by Mr. Holland, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for the Board to adopt the FY2009 Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME Investment Partnership Annual Plan. Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland and Durfee. Nays: None. 8.A.5. ADOPTION OF THE FY2009-FY2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Mr. Carmody stated staff is requesting that the Board adopt the revised FY2009-FY2014 Capital Improvement Program. On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board deferred adoption of the FY2009-FY2014 Capital Improvement Program to April 23, 2008. Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland and Durfee. Nays: None. i 08-232 04/09/08 8.A.6. ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED FY2009-FY2010 BIENNIAL FINANCIAL PLAN Mr. Carmody stated staff is requesting that the Board adopt the proposed FY2009-FY2010 Biennial Financial Plan, as amended. Mr. Gecker stated staff has done a great job with the budget and it appeared reducing the tax rate from 97 cents to 95 cents would have a much more significant impact on where the county is as a whole. He further stated the County Administrator would evaluate county services to see where we can realize some efficiencies in recognizing the priorities of public safety and keeping the employees' salaries competitive. He expressed concerns with the back half of the budget being based on a forecast, which forces decisions to be made that he is uncomfortable making at this point. He stated a few items he feels should be considered a priority, such as the Community Academy and Tech Center, may not be a priority to the School Board. He further stated he would like to see some clarity from the School side as to what these reductions mean as far as salaries are concerned. He stated he would like to wait two weeks to make sure the proposed budget would not impact programs that are important to the schools. Mr. Holland stated all employees are covered and will not be adversely impacted by the reduction. He further stated he looks forward to looking for potential savings and process improvements in the county. Ms. Durfee stated after speaking with Mr. Carmody she was assured reducing the tax rate to 95 cents would keep the Board's priorities intact. She further stated it is important to balance what we have heard from the citizens and the priorities of the county. She stated she has received numerous phone calls inquiring about when the Board was going to give consideration to fiscal discipline. She further stated Mr. Carmody has done a great job. Ms. Jaeckle stated the citizens are having to reduce their budgets and they expect the county to do the same. She further stated she would like to see if the School Board could put the second shift at the Tech Center back into the budget to help relieve overcrowding. Discussions ensued relative to the amount of the increases in real estate assessments over the past two years. Mr. Stegmaier stated with the 95-cent tax rate, the departments have done the best they can to reduce costs for 2009, but it is important to realize we are reducing the flexibility we have going into 2010. He further stated if the county ends up with a surplus due to a turn around in the economy, we may be able to fund the additional positions. Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Ms. Durfee, for the Board to adopt the proposed FY2009-FY2010 Biennial Financial Plan, with revisions as submitted. 08-233 04/09/08 Mr. Gecker expressed concerns relative to the funding of some programs on the school side of the budget. He stated he would be more comfortable voting on the budget at the next meeting. Mr. Warren called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Holland, seconded by Ms . Durfee, for the Board to adopt the proposed FY2009-FY2014 Biennial Financial Plan, with revisions as submitted. Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland and Durfee. Nays: None. Mr. Warren thanked the Board members for their dedication to the county. Mr. Gecker clarified that the extra $10,000 was put back into the budget for the Senior Center. 8.A.7.
