Chairman Anderson called the 2008 Fiscal Year-End meeting to order.

AGENDA: On motion of Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Lee, the Board voted unanimously to approve the Final agenda. The following recorded vote was taken: AYE: Frazier, Lee, Wayland, Welch and Anderson. NAY: None. .

Appropriation, TTF Funds, Clerk's Office: On motion of Mr. Lee, seconded by Mr. Wayland, the Board voted unanimously to appropriate $57,892.14 to line item 2106-7001. These funds are reimbursements from the Compensation Board for various expenditures between February 4 and June 12, 2008 on technology-related items in the Clerk's Office.

FY2009 Budget Adoption and Appropriations Resolutions: Mr. McCarthy discussed refinements since the FY09 budget public hearing, in calculating sources of revenues and the lessened need for surplus draw-down as set forth in his letter to the Board dated June 9, 2008 and filed with the papers of the meeting. These calculations result in a $14,000.00 increase in budget revenues. Several other small changes will reduce budget expenditures by $7000. (Memo filed with papers of meeting.)

Tourism: Mr. McCarthy's letter dated June 16, 2008 recommending that the expenditures for tourism be preserved in the proposed budget. No objections were voiced as to this budget item. (filed with papers of meeting)

As a result of all actions, the budget will require a $.60 real estate tax rate ($.55 for General Fund and $.05 for Fire Fund.) The FY08 budget set a $.59 real estate tax rate ($.55 real estate tax rate and a $.04 Fire Fund tax rate).

The Board discussed the possibility of postponing the Bank Road project to eliminate the need to increase the tax rate during the coming fiscal year. The members agreed it was not prudent to postpone that project.

Mr. Welch suggested consideration of an "across-the-board" reduction that would offset the $.01 cent increase to the Fire Fund. The Board generally agreed that it was too late in the process to fairly calculate those adjustments.

There being no further discussion, the following FY09 budget resolutions were adopted:

(1) Budget Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2009, attached hereto as Exhibit A, portion of page 1 and made a part of these minutes, on motion of Mr. Wayland, second by Mr. Lee and majority vote of the Board.
