Finance Director Barton stated that if there are no additional change orders, and we pay the existing contract, we should have approximately $300,000 left over. Once the construction is completed, these funds can be transferred to any other legal on-going project. He then informed the Board that we do not have a budget account this year for furniture and fixtures, and this should be rebudgeted. Discussion ensued as to the Board's feeling that these funds should be identified in some way so they do not become a general "grab-bag." t - Administrator Nelson reported that we have a request from the Sheriff amounting to about $12,000; we need to put in a safe for the Tax Collector; and also we need to get a word processor for the new County Attorney. He felt that about $50,000 will be needed for re-establishment of that account. Finance Director Barton recommended that the Board first authorize transferring the $167,000 expended back to Federal Revenue Sharing and then appropriate the funds needed for renovation. Intergovernmental Coordinator Thomas explained that while there is no provision in the new bond issue to furnish the jail, once these funds are returned to Federal Revenue Sharing, they can be used for that purpose. On Motion by Commissioner Scurlock, seconded by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the recommended transfer of $167,000 back to Federal Revenue Sharing to replace those funds borrowed to pay for furniture and fixtures in anticipation of receiving financing, and directed the Finance Director to prepare the appropriate budget amendment. Finance Director Barton suggested that once the transfer of the $167,000 is accomplished, $70,000 could be earmarked for the Jail and $50,000 should be designated for additional furniture and fixtures for the Courthouse and DE 16 198, 7
