UNFUNDED BUDGET REQUESTS: NONE Chairman Lapsley stated that, to his understanding, the Board of Commissioners has provided the same level of funding to the Heritage Museum since its inception nearly twenty-five years ago. He noted that the museum maintains a substantial fund balance and questioned the need for it to continue growing. In his view, the county's contribution significantly exceeds the museum's annual expenditures, and he believed the museum could operate comfortably using its existing fund balance. Commissioner McCall mentioned that she had recently met with the museum's chair, Carolyn Justus, who shared a list of planned projects. She stated that she would distribute the list to the other Board members for review before the budget is approved. Ms. McCall explained that the TDA was originally a county department that provided funding to the museum, but it has since become an independent entity. As a result, because it occupies a county-owned building, it was now required to pay rent. The $90,000 in rent collected from the TDA has been used to support the Heritage Museum. However, Mr. Lapsley questioned whether those funds should instead be directed to the county's general fund.
