Baird <br />Joseph - <br />.; OMB Director <br />In a letter dated April 18, 1991, Joan Carlson, Executive Director, requested a $49,490 <br />increase in the Humane Society's 1990/91 budget for mandatory sewer hookup costs at their <br />address, 4701 41st Street. The County's 1990/91 contnbution to the Society stands at <br />- <br />�; ANALYSIS <br />;The letter written by Mri. Carlson points out the Society's diligence in raising funds from <br />sources other than the County. A review of their county approved funding over the past <br />three years indicates a 7% increase per annum. <br />Mrs. Carlson notes that the sewer hookup charge is an unforeseen expenditure for the <br />Humane Society, and one that would cause undue hardship, given their tight budget. <br />Should the Board of County Commissioners decide to approve Mrs. Carlson's request of <br />$49,490 for this one time expense, funding is available - from the General Fund <br />contingencies. <br />Commissioner Scurlock said he has been involved with the <br />Humane Society for eleven years -and complimented their success in <br />animal control and their conservative financial nature. <br />Chairman Bird wondered if this should be a lump sum for this <br />one year or time payment plan and budget 'for it over the next <br />several years. <br />Director Joe Baird reported that, since the Humane Society is <br />a very, very tight -budgeted organization they would have to pass it <br />through every year so his suggestion was to just pay it up front <br />and get it over with. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />funding on a one-time basis for the sewer hookup <br />charge for the Humane Society, funds to be in a lump <br />sum and from the General Fund contingencies as <br />recommended by Staff. <br />78 <br />
