Commissioner Macht asked if it could be considered a capital <br />expense, and Administrator Chandler believed it might be considered <br />to be an eligible sales tax expense, but it was not budgeted. <br />Commissioner Adams thought it should be considered a capital <br />expense, and Commissioner Macht suggested that the motion include <br />the proviso that it come from sales tax. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird explained that if they were going to <br />approve the expenditure, it would be better to charge General Fund <br />Contingency since there are a lot of big projects to be considered <br />for the optional sales tax account. He explained that the original <br />law said that the optional sales tax was to be used for <br />infrastructure and capital projects with a life of over five years. <br />Commissioner Bird asked where leftover funds from the new <br />courthouse would go, and Director Baird said they would stay in <br />Optional Sales Tax to be used for projects on the 5 -year plan. <br />Chairman Tippin asked if it would be more expedient to have <br />the contractor do the work now, and Director Dean advised that the <br />preliminary work has been done, and they are ready to proceed <br />pending the outcome of today's meeting. He did not know what the <br />cost would be if it were done at -a later time. <br />Commissioner Macht suggested it be left to Administrator <br />Chandler and OMB Director Baird to determine the best way to pay <br />for the work. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION. <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br />Eggert absent) <br />45 <br />December 13, 1994 <br />(4-0, Commissioner <br />8,00K PAa,E 5 <br />
