G I FFORD_STREET-LIGHTING DISTRICT Administrator Chandler reminded the Board that a Mr. Fink raised a question regarding the assessment for this District at the last Budget hearing. Mr. Fink is not here tonight, but the Administrator wished to respond to Mr. Fink's question that he is being assessed consistent with the policy and everyone else within that District. The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard regarding the Gifford Street Lighting District. There were none, and he thereupon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Scurlock asked if we were to add to the budget one light for Mr. Fink, when do we do that; does it have to wait another year; or can't we just modify the budget tonight? Director Davis felt the Board can, but noted that on a policy basis, staff's feeling is that when people want lights added or subtracted, that can be brought to the Board at one time during the year instead of repeatedly, but Commissioner Scurlock asked if this isn't the time. Administrator Chandler explained the policy usually followed, noting that the one light being discussed would in- crease the budget by a certain number of dollars and then there is the question of does that change the rates. Commissioner Scurlock believed if we add one light, we could take it out of contingency. After some further discussion, OMB Director Baird advised that he felt we can absorb one light without substantially affecting the proposed budget. Commissioner Scurlock noted that he would like to do that rather than have Mr. Fink wait another year. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed to add one light within the Gifford Street Lighting District as discussed above. The Chairman determined that no one wished to be heard regarding any of the remaining Streetlighting Districts, and thereupon closed the public hearings on all of the Streetlighting Districts. 53 SEP 111091 0(9K � � p-
