FY2008 Budget Adoption and Appropriations Resolutions:

The issues remaining to be considered are the Sheriff's Office request for the LEOS benefit, the salary supplement to the Sheriff and his deputies and the retirement health insurance benefit. Mr. McCarthy recommended supporting the LEOS benefit for deputies, a one-time cost in the approximate amount of $14,000 and 50% of the single LEOS retiree health insurance premium for the employee only, conditioned upon 20 years service to Rappahannock County. This benefit is already factored into the FY2008 budget. It does not include dependents. He did not recommend a supplement to employees.

On motion of Mr. Lee, seconded by Mr. Wayland, the Board voted unanimously of those present to amend the Sheriff's budget request from $885,011 to $899,005. This increase reflects the approval of the one-time LEOS benefit. The following recorded vote was taken: AYE: Frazier, Lee, Wayland and Anderson. NAY: None. ABSENT: Welch.

Mr. Frazier inquired about revenues and expenditures in the combined Building/E911 offices.
