Commissioner Measmer seconded the motion. <br />Commissioner White expressed the following concerns: (1) because of a <br />request for a 5 percent across - the -board budget cut for FY 12 -13, <br />consideration of this Agreement prior to the annual budget deliberations is <br />unfair to other county departments and outside agencies; (2) the specific <br />amount of compensation is unknown; and (3) the terms of the Agreement should <br />be changed to coincide with the County's annual budget deliberations. <br />
