OMB Director Joe Baird advised that a budget amendment would <br />be needed to transfer money into the general account, and <br />Attorney Vitunac felt that $10,000 would be a good estimate of <br />the costs since Attorney McDonough plans to call many witnesses <br />and it will go several days. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt that is why Attorney Vitunac is <br />saying that the original offer was $1800 to hire Mrs. Kiser back <br />and start new, but Administrator Balczun stated that wasn't <br />exactly it; however, he wasn't about to comment on the record on <br />this matter. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked him why not, and Administrator <br />Balczun said he just preferred not to comment on the record on <br />this matter as he may, in fact, seek private legal counsel on the <br />matter at his own expense. <br />Chairman Scurlock emphasized that he is almost to the point, <br />since Administrator Balczun feels so strongly about this, that we <br />ought to jus-t_go ahead and have the hearing Friday and let it all <br />hang out. Administrator Balczun is talking about seeking his own <br />legal counsel, etc., and Administrator Balczun interjected that <br />he was not prepared for this level of discussion on this matter <br />this morning. <br />Commissioner Eggert stressed that she had told him that she <br />was going to bring this up this morning, and Administrator <br />Balczun stated that he understood she would be bringing up the <br />hearing officer matter, but at this point he felt we ought to <br />proceed with Friday, but he would Like to be able to talk with <br />the County Attorney later today. <br />Chairman Scurlock withdrew his support for any independent <br />hearing officer, and felt we should get ready to rumble if that <br />is the way it is. <br />COMMISSIONER EGGERT WITHDREW HER MOTION. <br />Administrator Balczun looked surprised, and Commissioner <br />Eggert said.she understood that is what he wanted. <br />33 <br />�oo� 7 <br />AUG 219 F�acC �4 <br />
