Comm. Minutes--October 1, 1992 927 Mr. Shannon said there will be questions about which anniversary date to use when an employee transfers from one county department to another, and probably other questions. Kathy Hogan, Social Services Director, suggested that the Commission adopt the estimated 1993 cost of $233,940, as outlined by Mr. Berndt, and that the Personnel Overview Committee look at the options and work out details by the end of October. GRANTS DENIED BY STATE, Budgets adjusted accordingly Mr. Montplaisir said the 1993 preliminary budget called for a number of grants in various departments, however, $166,000 was removed from the budget because the grant request for a software package to integrate the courts, state's attorney and sheriff's office was denied. Also denied were some grant funds for a drug agent and fingerprinting for the Sheriff's Department, as well as training for the State's Attorney's office. SOCIAL SERVICES, Budget request lower than last year's budget Mrs. Toussaint said the number of clients in Social Services has increased by about 9% over last year, but the 1993 mill levy request is lower than 1992. She said this is the budget with the most mandates from the state and federal governments. BUDGET CUTS BY CONSENSUS, Travel, soil survey, duplication of computer supply requests, water user's fee, annual report The following budget cuts were approved by consensus of commissioners: decrease Regional Child Support Enforcement travel by $3,000 and decrease Clerk of District Court travel by $1,500, with the idea that the State Child Support Agency conduct a training session on the State's new computer system at the Cass County Courthouse instead of sending 12-15 County employees to Bismarck. deduct $10,000 to update the tri-county soil survey because of a previous letter from the Director of Tax Equalization informing the Commission that this doesn't appear to be an immediate need. deduct $3,500 from various departments for computer supplies because supplies are already included in the Data Processing Department's budget. deduct $250 for water user's fee with a suggestion that this receive budget consideration by the joint water resource boards. - deduct $2,500 for annual report which has been carried in the budget, but it is not practical to complete by the deadline.
