John Bresnan - Supervisor of Assessments
John Bresnan from the Supervisor of Assessments office spoke about his budget. The General Fund budget was flat outside of salary increases. For the GIS Fund, the main ask was for new computers which haven’t been updated in about 6 or 7 years. The costs for maintenance was cut in about a third since Aaron should be able to handle more of those maintenance costs.
Anne Boehm - County Treasurer Boehm was not present
Kent T arro - Public Health
Public Health revenue basically had the revenue and expenses basically were already adjusted beer the amendment they were asking for tonight. There were slight increases to expenses on things like driver salaries, vehicle maintenance, repair expenses to the buildings etc. The remaining changes were mainly based on changes to the programs themselves.
Resolution Amending Public Health Department Budget
Kent Tarro and Peggy Garrison spoke about this budget request. For the 2019 budget, they have received some additional revenue overall through some of their programs even as some of the programs were decreased. Expenses appear to be up for many of their budgets due to the new building, along with the fuel costs and vehicle maintenance. For the Community Care Health Center saw some increases in revenue but the main revenue was for the bond that was issued to them. The expenses needed to be increased to cover the expenses associated with the bond. For the Public Health Transportation Fund, revenue has increased as more users are using the program. With the additional revenue, the expenses need to be increased.
Motion by Rull, seconded by Harding to recommend the resolution to the full Board.
