budgets changes extra great impact position tax until year
I didn't see very much of it impact this budget. We're in a position where we are better off than a year ago, but still not in great shape. Until the Legislature changes how they do things with the rollback, we probably won't have extra tax dollars.

As a recreation/green area, this is in line with the grant possibilities.
beginning county department head heads meeting needs saying separate statement tax
I don't want to tell a department head right from the beginning what he needs or doesn't need. I get a statement from the county saying this is what you're going to get for tax dollars. I have a separate meeting with each of the department heads to look at what we need to cut.

Where the crux of the issue lies is that (certain) departments are so heavily based on labor force. There is more to it at the library, there's a little more flexibility about other softer items where you are just able to cut.

We want to accomplish this sometime this summer.
