9:30:22 AM	Board of Elections		Director, Brett Kolb, was present to address the Board. He stated that his budget request includes an increase in employee salaries due to 2008 being a presidential election year. This does not include an increase for a director, part time employees only. This request includes an increase in natural gas due to increased rates and an increase in office supplies due to mailings that are required by law. He noted that they have made efforts to cut costs such as printing their own ballots and combining precincts.
10:02:12 AM	Board of DD		Director, Brenda Oyer, was present to address the Board. The Board of DD is a special revenue fund that is funded by levy. They are projecting a decrease in their budget of $27,218.79. The only line item increase includes a 3% increase in salaries in anticipation of upcoming contract negotiations. Ms. Oyer stated she would keep this figure in mind during negotiations.
10:37:31 AM	Treasurer		Treasurer, Bev Schlosser, was present to address the Board. She is projecting a $2,969 increase in her budget for the 2008 year. Much of her budget costs involve personnel, bank service fees and mailing costs.
10:58:56 AM	Department of Job and Family Services		Ken Caldwell and Anita Smith were present to address the Board. For the CSEA, the department is proposing a decrease in their budget. The difference comes largely from the way revenue is figured. Out of the CSEA's total operating expenses of $956,526.85, the total paid by the County is $91,858.13 because of Federal and State reimbursements.   The department is proposing a decrease in their budget for Children Services. Children services includes adoption expenses; emergency Services, Family Re-unification and preservation; Boarding and care; and Public Assistance. The biggest decrease was projected in the public assistance fund. $550,000.00 represents the county's share of $1,356,341.00 due to Federal and State reimbursements.   The public assistance fund also includes personnel salaries, and county operational costs. The county's share of these expenses is $91,881.30.   It is anticipated that the WIA (Workforce Investment) expenses have increased, however, are reimbursed 100% by the State.
1:32:29 PM	Prosecuting Attorney		Prosecuting Attorney, Roger Nagel, was present to address the Board. He noted that there was only 1 substantial increase in his proposal which related to office equipment. He stated that there were concerns relating to the age of their office copy machine. The Board discussed the possibility of special funds available to this department, such as the Furtherance of Justice Account (FOJ).
1:57:26 PM	Clerk of Courts		Clerk of Courts, Mary Gype, was present to address the Board. She stated that a majority of her costs are supplies and postage. Her postage expenses are approximately $1,000 per month, including 8-10 certified mailings per day as required by law. The Board discussed the possibility of sharing a postage meter with other departments to ease the costs of leasing several meters.
2:35:11 PM	Eastern District Court		Clerk of Eastern District Court, Christine Mossing, was present to address the Board. She noted that she was only proposing an increase in credit card/bank fees; personnel; and office supplies due to increased fees. The Board discussed the possibility of using special funds to assist in payment of salaries.
2:59:29 PM	Regional Planning		Director, Steve Brown, was present to address the Board. He indicated that they did not anticipate an increase from the prior year, however, his final numbers would depend on revenue. He noted that permits are down this year. He further noted that their expenses may actually decrease due to changes in personnel insurance plans.
3:32:24 PM	Auditor		County Auditor, Nancy Yackee, was present to address the Board. She indicated a proposed decrease from the prior year, largely due to a staff member retiring and the possibility of that staff member working on a part-time basis.
