approve the minutes of the July 8, 2014 meeting as printed. Motion
passed.
Old Business
Budget 2015: The committee received copies of the first draft
of the FY15 budget. It was reviewed in detail and corrections were
made. Mrs. Meagher will revise the draft and provide a second draft
for the committee’s review.
Adjust Building and Grounds budget for FY14: Mr. Ruben
indicated a budget amendment is necessary to cover the first half of
the cost of the Courthouse elevator project. A motion was made by
Mrs. Schumacher, seconded by Mr. Aylesworth, to transfer $70,000
from the fund balance of the County Farm account (110-00- 59014) to
the Building and Grounds pool (101-21-56102). Motion passed.

Credit card for office travel: It was suggested the County
obtain a credit card to be used for employee travel or supply
expenses that cannot be purchased by invoice. Mrs. Dugan will obtain
one or two cards, which will be kept in the Treasurer’s office for
safekeeping when not in use. Receipts and statements will be
provided to the Treasurer for review and approval. Mrs. Dugan and
Mrs. Meagher will get together to work out the details. Safety Complex lease: Because of the recent work done to
improve the Safety Complex (flooring in the City squad room, roof,
HVAC), it was suggested the lease be revisited. A motion was made by
Mrs. Schumacher, seconded by Mr. Aylesworth, to raise the Safety
Complex lease to $35,000 annually and send a letter to the City of
Lincoln with the new amount. Motion passed.
(end of new business)
Mr. Meister reviewed expenses for the committee. The “salary of
extra help” continues to be higher than expected, but this has been
previously discussed and resolved. Courthouse and park maintenance
also continues to be over budget.
 Mr. Aylesworth reviewed revenues. Revenues look appropriate at this
time. He also pointed out that an extra $1000 was received by Bob
Farmer for the Scully Trust. A motion was made by Mr. Aylesworth,
seconded by Mr. Farmer to approve the bills. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Mr. Meister, seconded by Mrs. Schumacher, to
adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting ended at 8:33 p.m.
