Regular Agenda: Mayor Wolff: started off by stating they are still facing a $110,000.00 deficient, but Mr. Smigielski had an update. Mr. Smigielski first answered questions about line items that were brought up at the last budget workshop. He then stated after going over the budget again he realized that Accounting and Auditing funds that were being sole sourced to the General fund, should be partially re-allocated to the Water, Sewer and Sanitation Funds. He realized the Financial Director position should be allocated that same way giving the General Fund a $60,856.00 credit. This would allow the hiring of a new Sheriff officer for half of the year and still leave the budget balanced with a 97% Ad' Valorem rate and lowering the millage rate to 5.75%. Consensus was to go ahead with the new Sherriffs S officer and Millage Rate at! 5.75% IX. Adjournment: Mrs. Hamilton motioned, and Mr. Linderman seconded to adjourn the meeting at 6:33 pm.
