HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT $100,000.00 HAS BEEN SPENT ON MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT SO FAR THIS YEAR, AND BY OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, ANOTHER $100,000.00 WILL HAVE TO BE EXPENDED.

COORDINATOR THOMAS POINTED OUT THAT THIS EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED NOS.', AND IF WE WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, HE FELT IT WOULD COST EVEN MORE, MRS THOMAS. NOTED THAT IF WE WAITED AND THEN USED REVENUE SHARING FUNDS TO PURCHASE THIS, IT WOULD AMOUNT TO THE SAME THING AS IF IT WERE PURCHASED NOW, HE STATED THAT HE DIDN'T SEE THAT IT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE AND FELT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME RATHER THAN MONEY, V AUG 3 1977 BooK 30 P��F 2c34 CHAIRMAN WODTKE-QUESTIONED FINANCE OFFICER .JACKSON REGARDIN THE SECOND PAGE OF THE MEMORANDUM WHICH RECOMMENDS TRANSFERRING SALARIES AND WAGES TO EQUIPMENT. MR, .JACKSON REPLIED.THAT WHEN HE MADE THAT PRO- JECTION, HE DID NOT KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CLOSE THAT PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT, AND THE SUGGESTED BUDGET'AMENDMENT WOULD BE PROPER UNDER THE NEW SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO W GET THE LANDFILL ON ITS OWN FEET WHERE EVERYTHING WOULD BE CHARGED TO LANL- FILL, COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT AS FAR AS ROAD AND BRIDGE IS CON- CERNED; THE REASON THESE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IS THAT WE HAVE HAD TWO VERY, VERY LARGE PROJECTS THAT HAVE PRETTY WELL TAKEN UP OUR TIME AND EQUIPMENT. SHE POINTED OUT THAT WE INSISTED ALL THE EXPENSES OF THE LANDFILL BE SHIFT OVER AND THAT THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT BE PAID BACK ALL THE EXPENSES FROM THAT PROJECT. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT,, BUT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT WE SET ASIDE MONEY FOR EQUIPMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR BUT DIDN'T USE IT BECAUSE OF THE LANDFILL.

COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT ONE THING THAT BOTHERED HIM WAS IF WE PUT THIS OFF TO THE FIRST OF THE BUDGET YEAR, WE ALWAYS HAVE A CASH FLOW PROBLEM. 10 AUG 1977 BOOK 30 PAE� f COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER SUGGESTED THAT WE BUY THE NEW D6 BULLDOZER, REPLACE THE TRAXCUVATOR, BUY ONE NEW TRACTOR -MOWER, AND JUST ELIMINATE REPLACING THE D4 AND BUYING ONE TRACTOR -MOWER,' HE POINTED OUT IF WE DO GO OVER TO THE STATE PROGRAM, WE WILL BE BUYING SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT.

COORDINATOR THOMAS STATED THAT IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE TOTAL COST, NOTING THAT WE HAVE CAPITALIZED FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF ONE YEAR IS OPERATION, EXCEPT FOR THE INTEREST PAYMENTS, WHICH IS THE WAY IT WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE BOND PEOPLE, HE FURTHER POINTED OUT THAT ALTHOUGH WE ARE IN OPERATION NOW, WE DON T HAVE ANY INCOME.. AND HE DOESNIT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE AT THIS POINT, THERE IS A TOTAL COST SHOWN OF $1,472,300 BUT HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INCOME TO BRING THAT DOWN SO THAT AT THE TIME THE BONDS ARE ISSUED, WE WOULD NOT EXCEED 1.3 MILLION, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INQUIRED IF THIS INCLUDES THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF TWO NEW CONVENIENCE STATIONS, ONE OF WHICH IS FOR FELLSMERE.
