to take it out of the pollworkers' paychecks, she will have to pay the 2.9% for every pollworker who made $100 or more, which amounts to the $800. It already has cost more than that in staff time to figure this out. Commissioner Bird inquired if this means that in the future Supervisor Robinson would try not to have any workers earn more than $100 in a year. Mrs. Robinson felt that they will just have to be careful about making the deduction in the future as the pollworkers require training and she likes them to be able to work as many elections as they can so they are more experienced. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized placing $800 from contingency into Acct. 001-700-519- 011.13 as requested by the Supervisor of Elections. Supervisor Robinson then wished to know how the Board wanted to handle the payment of the bills from Road & Bridge for trans- portation costs. This cost used to be left in the Road & Bridge budget, but if the Board desires, it is fine with her if they put this expense in the Election's budget and give her the additional money, and she then will pay Road 8 Bridge. Discussion ensued re proper cost allocation, and OMB Director Baird advised that both of the items discussed by the Supervisor of Elections will have to come out of contingency. Chairman Scurlock did not see why this can't be taken out of the Road 8 Bridge budget since they were paying for it before, but OMB Director Baird felt they really are not getting paid if he reduces their budget. The Chairman pointed out that we budgeted money within their budget for salaries and if we take that money out of their budget and put it in the Election's budget, it then.reflects the true cost of the operation. 49 60-38- BOOK 6
