Ruffin, County Manager. He addressed the <br />budget requests for additional personnel and the upgrading of weapons. Sheriff <br />Canaday also spoke on the County's pay system and stated current automatic pay <br />increases for employees should be maintained. <br /> There was no one else present to speak regarding the proposed budget and <br />Chairman Lentz closed the public hearing at 7:55 P.M. <br /> The Board set the following meetings for review of the proposed 1989-1990 <br />Budget: May 16 at 5:00 P.M. at the Frank Liske Park and June 1 at 5:00 P.M. at <br />the County Courthouse. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and <br />unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session to discuss <br />possible land acquisition.
