AUG 141980 <br />BOOK 44 Pact 342 <br />FINANCE OFFICER BARTON EXPLAINED THAT THIS BUDGET WAS <br />PREDICATED ON GOING FOR THE FULL 1/2 MILL; THERE ARE CERTAIN EX- <br />PENSES THAT WILL COME OUT TO PAY THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE <br />TAX COLLECTOR THEIR FEES AND THERE ALSO WILL BE DISCOUNTS. HE <br />STATED THAT IT IS NET AFTER THAT TO PAY THE REST OF THE EXPENSES. <br />MAYOR FLOOD CONCURRED THAT THE 1/2 MILL LEVY WOULD BE <br />SOMETHING IN THE VICINITY OF $55,500, WHICH WOULD BE IM SCOUNTED. <br />HE CONTINUED THAT THEY STARTED OUT WITH A $78,000 BUDGET AND HAVE <br />CUT IT DOWN TO $53,360.

HE NOTED <br />THAT THE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY INCLUDES ACCIDENT AND HEALTH, <br />WORKMEN IS COMPENSATION, ALL LIABILITY, ETC., AND INFORMED THE <br />BOARD THAT WE NOW HAVE ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT POLICIES TO COVER WHAT <br />THIS ONE POLICY COVERS. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNTY LOOK INTO <br />RISK MANAGEMENT FOR THEIR OWN EXTENDED COVERAGE. <br />CHAIRMAN DEESON STATED THAT HE ALSO WOULD RECOMMEND THIS. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT PUTTING THE FIRST YEAR'S <br />BUDGET TOGETHER FOR THE NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT HAS BEEN A HOR- <br />RENDOUS TASK FOR MAYOR FLOOD, BUT THAT IT WAS A REAL LEARNING EXPERI- <br />ENCE FOR ALL THE VOLUNTEERS TO SIT DOWN TOGETHER.
