THEIR TAXES WOULDNIT BE DOUBLE LAST YEAR `S. HE BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF UTILIZING SOME OF THE RESERVE ROAD TRUST FUNDS, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT TALKED ABOUT MOVING ALL THE CONTINGENCY TO THE GENERAL FUND, BUT MR. BARTON POINTED OUT THAT IF YOU MOVED THE CONTINGENCY, THEN YOU WOULDNIT HAVE ANYTHING TO GO TO IN MUNICIPAL SERVICES FOR AN EMERGENCY ITEM. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF ALL OF THE $580,000 OF OTHER ROADS, MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE TRANSPORTATION FUND TO THE MUNICIPAL FUND. THE FINANCE OFFICER EXPLAINED THAT THEY TOOK THE TOTAL APPROVED BUDGET FOR ROAD & BRIDGE OPERATIONS, ALL PHASES, AND CAME UP WITH A FUNDING FORMULA BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ROAD MILES, THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL BRIDGES FROM THE CONNECTOR SYSTEM OF ROADS AND LOCAL SYSTEM OF ROADS, AND USED THAT AS THE FUNDING FORMULA TO ESTIMATE WHAT BILLS EACH ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY PUT ALL OF THE EXPENSES IN THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE FUND FOR THE TOTAL ROAD & BRIDGE OPERATION, THEN SAID THE CONNECTOR ROAD SYSTEM WOULD PAY ON A CONTRACT BASIS TO THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE FUND FOR THE WORK DONE ON THEIR SYSTEM OF ROADS, THIS ACCOUNTS FOR THE $335,000 PAYMENT MADE FROM THE TRANSPORTATION TRUST TO THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES, AND THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PAST HISTORY BUILT UP ON ACTUAL -EXPENSES. HE CONTINUED THAT THE CONNECTOR SYSTEM OF ROADS IS THE ROADS THE COUNTY ACCEPTED BACK FROM THE DOT - 16TH ST., OLD DIXIE, 5121 5101 KINGS HIGHWAY, ETC. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOTAL MILEAGE OF ROADS, WE HAVE MANY MILES OF MARL ROADS AND THE MAINTENANCE ON THEM IS VERY DIFFERENT. HE REALIZED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY ON ALL THIS, BUT HOPED THAT, IN OUR EFFORT TO BE EXTREMELY FAIR, THAT THE BURDEN IS NOT BEING OVERLY SHIFTED TO THE UNINCORPORATED TAXPAYER, MR. BARTON NOTED THAT THE CASH CARRY FORWARDS WERE ALLOCATED ON THE SAME BASIS. 61 AUG 2 71980 BOOK 44 F.�t 408
