If the reduction is made, I'd prefer that 10.25 mills stay the same so I'd end with a larger reserve. Keith From: Johnson, Bonnie Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 2:49 PM To: Laney, Paul; Berndt, Keith Cc: Pawluk, Ken; Worden, Heather; Montplaisir, Michael Subject: FINAL BUDGET Keith/Paul- At the commission meeting on Monday, the Board will be having a public hearing on the proposed 2009 budget. It is expected the Board will take final action on the budget at their October 6th meeting. In the meantime, Chairman Pawluk would like the two of you with the largest increases in your gas/fuel expenses to take another look at your budget. Based on the current trends, do you feel you could make any reductions in the proposed costs in these line items? The proposed motion at the Monday meeting will read as follows: "Move to delay approval of the final budget until October 6, 2008, to consider a reduction in fuel costs within the Sheriffs Department and Road Department budgets." If you are able to recommend any changes in the gas/fuel proposed expenses, please be sure to get the information to Mike Montplaisir as soon as possible and he can make any budget adjustments before we do our next agenda on September 30th. If you have any questions, let me know. Bonnie Johnson County Administrator iohnson b@casscountvnd.Qov 701-241-5720 (voice) 701-297-6020 (fax) 1
