Christmas Tree Contest There was brief discussion regarding the Christmas Tree Contest for 1994, including prizes to be awarded and the possibility of restricting the decorations to recyclable materials. Several teachers have expressed an interest in the contest and are ready to begin making decorations as a class project. The Board by consensus agreed to hold the contest again this year. However, no agreement was reached regarding the prizes and these will be announced at a later date. Also, no restrictions were placed on the material to be used in making the decorations. Water and Sewer District Meeting Chairman Barnhart recessed the meeting until the conclusion of the meeting of the Water and Sewer District. Chairman Barnhart reconvened the meeting of the Board of commissioners. Sales Tax Refund Audit Mr. Witherspoon reported that the County can recoup additional monies from the State because the annual sales tax refund was not allocated to the county in which the sales tax was actually paid. The Finance Department employees have begun the computerized process of preparing amended returns for Fiscal Years 1992-93 and 1993-94. However, since computer tapes are not available for Fiscal Year 1991-92, it will be necessary to manually generate the proper amounts for that year through various hard copy reports on file in the Finance Department. An auditing firm has proposed to prepare this report on a contingency fee of 25 percent of the first $50,000.00 of resultant refunds, 20 percent of the next $50,000.00, and 15 percent over $100,000.00. An estimated annual refund of $60,000.00 is anticipated for each of the three years for which amended returns may be filed. The Board agreed to consider this proposal at a later date.
