MAYOR FLOOD CONTINUED TO QUESTION WHETHER ALL FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING MONIES HAVE BEEN BUDGETED, AND ARE ALL USED UP, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT OUR FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING MONEY HAS BEEN BUDGETED AND WE HAVE A HUNDRED REQUESTS FOR EVERY SLOT. HE POINTED OUT THAT THIS MONEY IS ALLOCATED FOR THE BOARD TO UTILIZE• TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE TAXPAYERS. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMLS- SI NER SCHMUCKER, TO APPROVE A COORDINATOR FOR THE NORTH COUNTY REC- RE TION. PROGRAM AT A BASE SALARY OF $8,417.50 AND AN ASSISTANT CO RDINATOR AT A BASE SALARY OF $7,277.60, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING TH T IF PUBLIC WORKS FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS IN THE FUTURE THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ASSUME THE ASSISTANT COORDINATOR'S SALARY. COMMISSIONER DEESON NOTED THAT HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT APPARENT LACK OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM AND FEELS THAT THE BOARD SHOULD BE SHOWN IN FUTURE REQUESTS IF THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN PARTICIPA- TION. HE URGED THE NORTH COUNTY RECREATION COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH THE MAYOR FLOOD STATED THAT HE WILL PERSONALLY COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER WITH A REPORT ON THE NORTH COUNTY RECREATION PROGRAM, AND IF THE PARTICIPATION IS NOT THERE, HE WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT IT. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS POINTED OUT THAT THE TITLE II APPROPRIATIONS DO EXTEND TO SEPTEMBER, BUT AT THAT TIME UN- LESS THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION, THE PROGRAM COULD EXPIRE. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT IF AT ANY TIME THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS TO A CERTAIN FIGURE, THEN THE COUNTY WOULD NO LONGER RECEIVE THESE PUBLIC WORKS FUNDS. HE FELT WE CANNOT.GUARANTEE ANYTHING BEYOND NINE MONTHS. COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE WOULD GO ALONG WITH COM- MISSIONER DEESOW S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ASSURE BOTH OF THESE SALARIES AS LONG AS THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WILL SUPPORT THE MOTION BECAUSE COMMISSIONER 'DEESON HAS REQUESTED IT, BUT IF THE CITY CANNOT COME UP WITH SOME FUNDS FOR THIS AT NEXT BUDGETTIME, -HE WILL NOT SUPPORT IT AGAIN, AS HE FEELS IF IT IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO THE CIT( OF SEBASTIAN, IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO US,. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
