Some question arose about the interfund transfer, and <br />Mr. Barton explained this amount represents the net cost - <br />the total cost of the Housing Authority is much more than <br />that. He further noted that salaries are worked in at the <br />same level they are.at the present time. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked about the insurance account <br />increase, and Mr. Barton explained that is included on the <br />appropriate line item. <br />.The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. <br />Richard Schuler of Whippoorwill Lane informed the Board <br />that last night he attended the City Council meeting, and <br />only a handful of people were in attendance even though it <br />appears that the City controls the spending of somewhere <br />around fifty million dollars annually. Mr. -Schuler <br />commended the County for getting the County residents to <br />attend this meeting and also for the tremendous amount of <br />effort that the County staff had to go to make the excellent <br />reports handed out tonight. He felt that to criticize the <br />budget when you have not attended all of the budget <br />workshops would be foolhardy, but he wished that there was <br />some way that the County and the City could join hands and <br />work together to reduce costs in many department. Mr. <br />Schuler particularly felt there are some very highly paid <br />administrative positions in both the City and County which <br />could be combined to reduce costs, and he also felt we could <br />get more volunteers. Mr. Schuler noted that although the <br />City Budget was 7.6 million, it seems they control 50 <br />million, and he wished to know the total amount of money <br />that goes through the County. <br />Commissioner Lyons pointed out that the City utilities <br />operation is included in their 50 million dollar figure. <br />5 <br />SEP 7 1983 <br />J <br />
