Fr- I <br />FEB 27 1990 BOOK .79 PAGE 352 <br />conditions of the new Traffic Engineer's employment was that he <br />receive an automobile allowance. The "automobile allowance" was not <br />anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore, the <br />attached budget amendment appropriates the funding. <br />M;�*C9 ,IYIDo ID ; • "I <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />attached budget amendment. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that he has no problem with the <br />vehicle being provided. What he does have a question about is <br />whether we can take those funds out of the salary account as <br />opposed to Contingency. <br />OMB Director Baird commented that the problem with reducing <br />the salary account is that then next budget year the Board has <br />questions about why the salaries increase so much. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed we funded this position in <br />the salary account, and there are other positions that are funded <br />and not filled; so, he felt it would be more appropriate to take <br />it out of that account. He asked when the Traffic Engineer was <br />budgeted for. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that he was budgeted for the <br />full fiscal year and we weren't able to bring him on board until <br />January 1st; so, there is no question this can be funded as <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggests. In the past what was left just <br />become Cash Carry Forward. <br />ON MOTION By Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, Commissioner Bird being absent, the <br />Board unanimously (4-0) approved staff recommendation <br />and Budget Amendment #036 with the provision that it <br />be modified to take funds from within the existing <br />salary account rather than Contingencies. <br />4 <br />
