Mr. Draughn explained that equipment had been loaned to <br />the County in order for the meeting to be taped. If the County wishes to pursue the <br />tapping of meetings, approximately $17,000 will be needed to purchase three robotic <br />cameras and needed accessories. <br />Finance Director Lisa Minter discussed a list of items Commissioners have <br />discussed during previous budget work sessions and items they may wish to address <br />prior to approving the budget. <br />The Board considered the purchase of new vehicles as recommended in the <br />budget. Assistant County Manager Kenny Cole told the Board he had spoken with two <br />local automobile dealers that would be interested in working with the County to <br />purchase "program vehicles" instead of new vehicles. At the previous budget work <br />session, the Board discussed only purchasing new vehicles for the Sheriff's <br />Department, Fire Marshal's Office, and Department of Social Services. The County will <br />receive a 50% match for vehicles purchased for Social Services. Mr. Cole stated that <br />staff can save as much as 20% if "program vehicles" are purchased verses new <br />vehicles. The budget originally allocated $186,700 for the purchase of new vehicles. <br />cQ vacF 5~? <br />
