FEB 2 21994 D. Budget Amendment - Property Appraiser OMB Director Barton reviewed his memo as follows: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: February 15, 1984 FILE: SUBJECT: Property Appraisdr Q Lt FROM: Jeffrey K. Barton, REFERENCES: OMB Director FACE 206 For the Property Appraiser's office to prepare the Trim Notices, Tax Rolls, and books, it costs approximately $17,000-20,000. a year for an outside computer firm, expenses and man -power. A printer to do this in-house has been located and would cost $23,400.00. This would pay for itself in I2 years by eliminating the need to go to an outside firm. We have $5,000.00 left in the Property Appraiser's budget from preparing the Trim Notices and David Nolte has $5,000.00 in his budget from the Tax Rolls. Using this $10,000:00 we request $13,400.00 of the General Fund Contingency to complete the purchase. The following budget amendment will be needed to complete this transaction. Account Title Office Equip & Furn Reserve for Contingency JKB/dw Balance in Reserve $287,9.38 as of 2/8/84 Account No. 001-500-513-66.41, 001-199-513-99.91 Increase Decrease 13,400 13,400 Director Barton explained that when the Trim Notices are sent out.to be printed, the Board pays for all the expenses to get them ready for mailing. The Property Appraiser carries in his budget all the costs when the final roll is done and readied to go to the Tax Collector. Commissioner Wodtke asked about costs for salaries, paper, etc., in addition to the cost of the printer, -and Director Barton explained that these expenses are already in the budget. When the Property Appraiser goes outside for these services, he has to supply the paper and send the employees and pay for their living expenses while they are there. Additional personnel will not be needed. 6
