Commission Minutes--August 14, 2003 2642 <br /> <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Vanyo moved and Mr. Meyer seconded to remove $20,000 for RESTORE. <br />Discussion: RESTORE is already receiving $20,000 through a block grant <br />fund in the Sheriff's Department. On roll call vote, the motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner feels that with help from the Treasurer's Office and the one volunteer, the file <br />conversion in the Veteran's Service office will be completed. MOTION, passed <br /> Mr. Vanyo moved and Mr. Meyer seconded to remove $8,114 for a part-time <br /> file clerk from the Veterans Service budget. Discussion: Mr. Bennett said the <br /> clerk would help with other duties besides the file conversion. On roll call <br /> vote, the motion carried with four members voting "Yes" and Mr. Bennett <br /> voting "No." <br /> <br />Mr. Meyer does not feel comfortable cutting anything else from budgets today. He would <br />like to review the information further before making any more decisions. Mr. Montplaisir <br />said the board may meet again in early September to decide on additional adjustments to <br />the budget. If the board agrees to the 65 mill levy rate, the budget can be reviewed with <br />this figure in mind. Mr. Bennett wants to see what essential services are needed before <br />setting the mill rate at 65 and is not ready to make any decisions. Mr. Montplaisir said on <br />Monday, the Commission will be asked to approve the preliminary budget with a set <br />number of mills. Mr. Bennett suggested that more time be allowed between budget <br />meetings and when the preliminary budget is approved. Mr. Montplaisir said if the budget <br />is approved at 65 mills with no further cuts, more of the reserves would be used. The <br />more cuts that are made, the healthier the reserve fund will be. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed <br /> With no further budgets to review today, Mrs. Sorum moved and Mr. Vanyo <br /> seconded to adjourn the meeting at 4:40 PM. The board will reconvene in <br /> early September to discuss additional budget revisions. <br /> <br /> ATTEST: <br /> <br />,~[Vl~-c'l~a-el Mon(plaisir'- Auc~or <br />Cass County, North Dakota <br /> <br />APPR~ED: <br />Sco~ ~v~g-n~-r, ~-h~man <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br />
