ALLEGANY
REGULAR SESSION
** APPROVED
The regular meeting of the Board of
Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall,
who then led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Invocation was given by Legislator Pullen.
ROLL CALL: 15 Present; 1 Absent.
APPROVAL OF
MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of June 9,
2008 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by
Legislator Pullen and carried.
PUBLIC
HEARING:
Chairman Crandall suspended the
meeting to hold a public hearing on the Allegany County Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Crandall noted that the public
hearing is one more step in the process required by law for the adoption of the
plan. The County has not had a Comprehensive
Plan in the past, and work began on its development about one year ago. This is a very historical document, and once
adopted, will play a major role in grant applications. The Comprehensive Plan is a working document
that will be continually changing as the County moves forward.
There being no one desiring to
speak, the public hearing was declared closed, and the Board reconvened in
regular session.
PRIVILEGE OF
THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall took the floor to
present a Plaque of Appreciation to Daniel J. Guiney, in recognition of his
thirty years of dedicated service to
Chairman Crandall presented a Certificate
of Appreciation to Frederick Sinclair in recognition of his thirty years of
outstanding work and dedication to the Allegany County Soil and Water
Conservation District. Mr. Sinclair is
retiring, with June 27 as his last official day in the office. Although not an actual County employee, he
has worked for the Soil and Water Conservation District since 1978, first as a
Conservation District Technician, then as a District Field Manager, and finally
as Executive Director. Mr. Sinclair’s
accomplishments range from the work he performed in obtaining funds, to
providing those in policy and administrative positions with the information
necessary for making decisions. Most
recently of note is his key role in putting together the Comprehensive Plan and
work on the
Privilege of the floor was granted to
County Administrator/Budget Officer John Margeson and County Treasurer/Deputy
Budget Officer Terri Ross for a fiscal presentation on the 2007 Budget year. General Fund expenditures of $77.01 million
exceeded budgeted appropriations of $76.81 million by $200,000, but revenues of
$79.43 million came in higher than the budgeted amount of $76.81 million by
$2.62 million, resulting in a gain in the 2007 General Fund balance of $2.42
million. Areas where spending exceeded
the budget were highlighted: Employee Health Insurance, Jail Personnel, Public
Transportation, Long-Term Home Health Care, Assigned Counsel, and Community
College Expense. Areas of budgetary
savings or excess revenue included: Housing
of Out-of-County Inmates, Interest and Earnings, Interest and Penalties, Sales Tax,
and County Clerk Fees. General Fund
expenses and revenues were graphed out for the past seven years beginning with
2001 to illustrate year-end gains and losses over that time period. The years 2001, 2002, and 2003 showed losses
of $.3, $6.8, and $2.8 million respectively, with each of the subsequent years
of 2004 through 2007 showing steady gains of $.7, $2.72, $1.18, and $2.42
million respectively. The Unreserved
Fund Balance has shown a corresponding increase from its lowest point in 2003
of a negative $3.8 million to a positive $2.9 million at year-end 2007. In regards to what the Fund Balance should
be, Mr. Margeson noted that some experts suggest ten percent of the operating
budget, which would be $10 million for us.
He looks at it differently, or as a “savings account” for the
legislators to use as a stabilizer and to stave off high property tax increases
when working on the following year’s budget.
Mr. Margeson would like to see the balance at double the amount it is
now. He believes it’s prudent to have 25
percent of the amount the County has to raise in property taxes in the Fund
Balance.
Sandy Sheldon, of Caneadea,
questioned what major things were responsible for the fiscal improvement. Mr. Margeson responded that it was a
combination of the Legislature dedicating itself to tighter budgeting and less
spending, the creation of a Budget Committee which has kept a vigilant watch on
the budget year-round, and increasing the County portion of Sales Tax from four
to four and one-half percent which provides an additional $2 million in
revenue.
Chairman Crandall remarked that the
2007 financial report is worthy news. Property
taxes have gone up unacceptably, and the sales tax rate had to be
increased. During those hard years, some
difficult but necessary decisions had to be made to put things in order. The Budget Committee, implemented by former Chairman
James Palmer, allows for budget work to be a year-round operation, rather than
looking at it late in the year and trying to catch up. The process to further stabilize the finances
of the County will be ongoing.
