1988 BOOK 70 FAGE 803 County paid $28,000 for those costs. He did not see a need for $400-$500 items coming back before the Board, because then we would be getting into day-to-day administration. However, once we get over the $100,000, then those items would be brought back to the Board. Commissioner Eggert understood that, but wasn't clear on what "additional services" meant, because, first of all, sometimes additional services becomes the packing area, not additional engineering services.

Director Pinto explained that in this type of a budget, they pulled out and projected that there would be $100,000 of other services performed by engineers or special services other than our own engineer.
