June 16, 2014 (Regular Meeting) Page 2090 budget. CHA chose a far nicer facility than what is needed and it needs to be responsible for its decisions, not the taxpayers of Cabarrus County. Remove the $114,309 increase from the proposed budget. Remove funding for 4 Library Positions in Concord Main Library -In 2010 and 2011, our library system (all libraries combined) had a total of 30 positions. In the three years since, our library staff has grown to 44. Funding for 4 positions from the Concord Main Library should be removed. As the recent survey shows, our citizens were more satisfied with every aspect of our library system in 2010 when the system had 30 employees than they are now with 44 employees (locations is the only factor that scored higher, and additional employees do not impact this factor). 07.

Remove funding for the Midland Library positions. Funding of these positions was dependent on Midland completing the main street project and funding the library structure. After a visual inspection of the project, one can be certain this project will not be completed in a manner necessitating library funding within the next fiscal year. Remove funding for the following personnel additions: 1. Communications Specialist 2. Revaluation Office Assistant 3. 2 Revaluation Data collector 4. Custodian 5. 2 Landfill Operators Remove funding for purchase of any new county vehicles (other than emergency service vehicles) - information provided states that the county recently auctioned two diesel engine trucks with just under 125,000 miles for a very small price. This is unacceptable. Diesel engine vehicles are useable to a far greater mileage than gasoline engine trucks. The county has been irresponsible with vehicle purchases. The county must better prioritize the positions for which a vehicle is required and use the current fleet to meet needs. Terminate expenditure increase to meet salary study. Reduce funding in transportation fuel budget to $190,000- Actual expenses for this line item for the last three years are $180k, $167k, $194k, and as of May 21 of 2014 $168k. The requested budget of $235k should be reduced to $190k. Reduce funding in transportation budget for auto maintenance to $180,000- Actual expenses for this line item for the last three years are $140k, 179k, $171k, and current actual expenses are $171k. The requested budget of $285k should be reduced to $180k. Reallocate $1.3 million capital appropriation at Camp Spencer - Camp Spencer currently has two functioning and revenue producing structures that are scheduled to be torn down and rebuilt at a cost of $1 million. This money should go to fixing leaking roofs in our schools. 00 2.0 4.0 6.0 8,0 Asa rharo TRENDS
