1 T 1 <br />BOOK 8 rnE 100 <br />portion of the Budget Amendment because he can't believe the <br />Clerk does not have that amount in his budget. Commissioner <br />Scurlock wished to make it clear for the Press that the reason he <br />voted against the Budget Amendment for such a small change <br />originally was not only because it is so close to the beginning <br />of the new budget year, but also because that answering machine <br />has had problems for the last six months and he, therefore, <br />didn't see why it wasn't taken care of in the normal budget <br />process. He advised that he will vote for everything in the <br />proposed Budget Amendment except for the $60.00 for the Clerk. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved <br />Budget Amendment #001 with the exception of the <br />$60.00 item for the Clerk. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, to approve the Clerk's Budget <br />Amendment request of $60 for the answering machine. <br />Chairman Wheeler stated that he will support the Motion <br />simply because he wants to see the problem corrected, but he does <br />agree absolutely with what Commissioner Scurlock has said. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stressed that his point is that the <br />problem can be corrected within budgetary funds that are <br />available. He cannot believe that the Clerk does not have more <br />than a $60 line item transfer within that budget. <br />Commissioner Eggert commented that this is costing the Clerk <br />when people come in because they are not getting a message; so, <br />it is something they should be watching closely. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wished to put everyone on notice that <br />this year he will not be voting for anything going into contin- <br />gencies unless it is truly an unanticipated emergency. <br />9 <br />
