TRANSPORTATION FUND Administrator Chandler explained that the Transportation Fund budget essentially is comprised of Road & Bridge, Public Works, County Engineering and Traffic Engineering. It does not have a millage, but is indirectly funded by taxes to a certain extent through our General Fund as well as the GPMSTU. The total proposed budget is $8,243,404, and it contains an expense increase of $855,000 which essentially centers around two areas. One is the need to increase our maintenance, as well as replacement, of some of our bridges. It contains funding for an additional crew for bridge maintenance and replacement, and another area of increase is within our Traffic Engineering Department, which is related to the need for increased mainte- nance, repair and installation of traffic signals, markings and signs. We only consider the expense level since the Transporta- tion Fund is not funded by a direct millage allocation. Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the Transporta- tion Fund and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There being none, she closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved a tentative budget of $8,243,404 for the Transportation Fund for FY 1990/91. LIBRARY BONDS Administrator Chandler announced that this is the proposed millage levy to fund our debt service on Library construction, and the proposed rate is..3594 mills. Voted debt service is not tied into a rollback rate. ` Commissioner Scurlock asked about the number of years left on the bond issue, which OMB Director Baird advised were 4, including the 90/91 .year.
