Pr - FEB 1988 E ooK 0 FAGE 805 of $100,000, let's see how that was spent; and when we get to the end of the $50,000, let's see how that was spent. Director Pinto stated that they will go through and double check to make sure every item was removed that was charged against that contract that they feel was not specifically charged when we went into the project itself. They will go through and take all of that out. For instance, Ernestine Williams' salary is being charged against the project. That means we are borrowing money to pay her salary. It is different than if it was a grant, because it all has to be paid back. So we will go through all those items, even the engineer's items, and remove those things for which we think we will not have to borrow to pay for. If we can cash fund them, we will cash fund them, and then we will come back and let the Board know exactly where we are. There will be a final accounting. OMB Director Joe Baird understood that staff is to come back to the Board when they exceed the $150,000, and Chairman Scurlock stated that is what he wanted. Commissioner Eggert stated that she would like them to come back at $100,000 and then again at $150,000, as she would like to get an accounting part way through. Commissioner Wheeler could not see bringing it back once the Board has approved it. He felt, in that case, that we could carry it one step further and have an itemized billing of everything that is done, i.e. nuts, bolts, screws, and we could be spending our whole time doing the work that we rely on staff to do. Director Baird offered to send in monthly accounts off his spread sheets, and the Board indicated that would be fine. 18
