As a recreation/green area, this is in line with the grant possibilities. |
I didn't see very much of it impact this budget. We're in a position where we are better off than a year ago, but still not in great shape. Until the Legislature changes how they do things with the rollback, we probably won't have extra tax dollars. |
I don't want to tell a department head right from the beginning what he needs or doesn't need. I get a statement from the county saying this is what you're going to get for tax dollars. I have a separate meeting with each of the department heads to look at what we need to cut. |
In March we'll know (what amount will be given to the YMCA). If there are additional funds, we could give those to CVB. |
The biggest thing is deciding where $10,000 more has to come from. |
The county won't see any change in the taxes they receive or anything until a business or industry decides to go up over there. |
There are no additional places to grow. |
This would be another step for Boone in biotech and value-added agriculture to push that marketing niche we're forming in our community. |
We are waiting for abstracts to be updated and for the phase one and two EPA studies to be completed. We will probably close sometime in early March. |
We don't tell them exactly what to spend. Parks typically gets the greatest amount of local option money and they spend it on whatever priorities they feel are most important. |
We need to have this project done before the school opens. |
We want to accomplish this sometime this summer. |
Where the crux of the issue lies is that (certain) departments are so heavily based on labor force. There is more to it at the library, there's a little more flexibility about other softer items where you are just able to cut. |
