0 <br />J A N 25 194 55 'ncE 899 <br />OMB Director Barton explained that when the Board <br />approved the overall 2% salary increases at the final budget <br />meeting last September, the money for the increases was put <br />into the contingencies fund. What is needed now is the <br />Board's approval to put them all on the appropriate line <br />items. <br />Director Barton recalled that the Board approved the <br />salary increases on a merit basis and requested that staff <br />come back with the actual figures once these were all worked <br />out. These are those figures. However, three departments <br />were not included in this budget amendment and will be <br />presented at the next Board meeting. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the <br />Board approve the above budget amendment, as <br />recommended by OMB Director Barton. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Scurlock recalled that there <br />were four or five employees whose salaries were below the <br />Cody recommendation. Director Barton reported that those <br />salary adjustments are included in these figures. <br />Commissioner Wodtke questioned the low balance left in <br />reserve for these accounts and Director Barton stated that <br />the reserve did include this money from the very beginning. <br />He felt it was important that the money be put into the <br />appropriate line items as soon as possible before the <br />reserve eroded away. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />The Motion was voted on and carried <br />unanimously, (4-0) . <br />
