CO1i <br />• (1) Current Financial Situation. November sales tax revenues were down considerably from <br />the previous year, overall reduction is 8% when Medicaid swap is factored in, running 6% below budget <br />through November 2008. <br />(2) FY 2009-10 Budget. Departments and outside agencies continue to work on their 2009-10 <br />fiscal year budget requests. The Department of Labor's cost of living adjustment number in January (the <br />index used to figure COLA amounts) was a negative .5 percent; therefore, employees will not receive a <br />COLA in next year's budget. All Departments have been asked to prepare budgets at their current level <br />of funding and have plans ready to reduce spending by 2% - 4%. Should be ready to discuss preliminary <br />numbers in late March or early April with the Board. <br />(3) Community College - Jonesboro Campus. The Health Department is considering closing <br />the Dental Clinic at the W. B. Wicker Campus. CCCC has been contacted and is interested in taking <br />over the space Lee County currently rents and possibly using the dental equipment that will no longer be <br />needed. CCCC has an interest in this as well as an interest in renting other parts of the facility. This <br />would allow the college to transfer some classes from the Jonesboro Campus to the Wicker Campus. <br />Discussions will continue as the budget process continues. <br />(4) Mid-Carolina Work Force Development Board. Lee County is part of a four-county group <br />that handles funds disbursed by the Federal Government under the Workforce Investment Act. These <br />funds are used to retrain or prepare displaced workers for other jobs that are open in these counties. <br />The other counties involved are Sampson, Harnett and ChatharD. The funds disbursed on behalf of Lee <br />County go to the Employment Security Commission here in Sz ford. Our system appears to be working <br />well, however, the other three counties appear to have issue§ vft the funding. Their funds are handled <br />by internal departments to County Government in Sactipson anii Harnett and a non-profit group in <br />Chatham. The other counties have raised concernsF_@b„gut how the money is allocated by the Mid <br />Carolina Council of Governments who handles the %ds and disburses them to the appropriate <br />• agencies. The Board will be kept updated as devEqeprnents go forward. <br />(5) 911 Agreement with the City of Saefcu Chairman Hayes and Vice-Chairman Oldham <br />continue to work on this agreement with City-_epre 7Wtatives and are making progress. It is hopeful that <br />a beneficial agreement to both parties wilLZe jp„place before the State's 911 Board meets on March 16'h <br />With no further business to ceQ before the Board, Commissioner Reives moved to adjourn the <br />meeting. Upon a vote, the results nr'i"'ere Afollows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Hayes, Kelly,-Oldham, Paschal, Reives, and Shook <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the meeting adjourned at <br />7:20 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Gaynell M.
