In regard to Federal Revenue Sharing, the OMB Director informed the Board that there is a statute requirement that requires advertising this particular budget ten days prior to the final budget hearing. We have not met that advertising requirement, and he, therefore, would like to ask the Board to reschedule the hearing on the Federal Revenue Sharing funds to be heard separately. He noted that actually we have been in violation for several years on the advertising of this particular fund, and he suggested that it be heard during a regular Commission meeting. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the proper advertisement of the hearing on the Federal Revenue Sharing budget to be held during a regular Commission meeting at a time certain as recommended by the OMB Director. Discussion followed on the County's historical use of the Federal Revenue Sharing funds and the potential loss of these funds in the future; it was explained to those present that over the years the Commission has been wise enough to use these funds only for capital items and not for regular operating expenses. OMB Director Baird advised that at this time we are not anticipating receiving any federal revenue sharing dollars. If later we do receive some funds, it would be unanticipated revenue. Director Baird then announced the proposed budgets for the other operating funds, enterprise and internal service funds, and capital projects, as follows: Federal Revenue Sharing 1985 Ref. 8 Improvement Bonds Housing Authority Fund Section 8 Rental Assistance Police Academy Fund Pistol Permits Fund Secondary Roads Const.
