· Resolution 2009-631 Adopt County Tax Budget for 2010

Mr. Hall stated that he looked at the adjustments made so far this year and there have been cuts made in the amount of $990,216.33. This still leaves a hole of $828K.  He ran through some of the options that have been put into place, such as the Early Retirement Incentive Plan, across the Board cuts with most of the General Fund Departments, and the non-use of the rainy day fund, which is a one-time cash use only.  An increase in revenue has not been done.  He went through the steps that would have to be followed statutorily for an increase in sales tax.   Mr. Genter stated that public hearings should be held to outline the proposal to fill this gap allow for public comment.  Mr. Hall stated he could have a resolution ready for adoption by next Thursday’s session. 

 

Commissioner Genter made the motion to adopt the County Tax Budget for 2010 and Commissioner Short seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
