Council members will consider transfers and additional requests as well as an amendment to the Salary Ordinance for the Supervisor of the County Highway as well as a change for probation officers with years of experience.
After all that….it’s time to start making the $800,000 to $900,000 cuts to the 2019 budget requests. Last week members conducted a three hour work session where they made their suggestions on where to cut the budget. Many of those suggested making cuts to the request for 9 new employees. During the work session only recommendation were discussed no official action was taken, that’s what will be happening on Monday.
The County Council meeting is open to the public and is expected to last several hours. The meeting is held in the second floor meeting room of the County Building.
