A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Aylesworth, to approve the minutes of the July 14, 2015 meeting as printed. Motion passed.

Old Business:

1. Budget FY 15-16 – The committee was presented with the second draft of the budget and made changes throughout to attempt to bring the budget into balance. It was decided to place some wind farm permit revenue into the budget with the understanding it may not come in. If it is not realized, the corresponding transfers into other funds will not be made.
 


2. CDS Copier Return/Invoice Issue – Mrs. Meagher has now received an offer from the leasing company to accept $353.06 and all further correspondence will cease. Jonathan Wright agrees with this action. Motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Farmer, to pay the invoice of $353.06 as payment in full to the leasing company. Motion passed.

New Business:

1. Employee Raises – Motion by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Davenport, to send the subject on non-union employee raises to the full Board for consideration with no recommendation. Motion passed.

2. Medical Marijuana Stipend – Per Mr. Ruben, Cresco has agreed to pay the first annual stipend of $25,000 in December since it was not put into the FY 14-15 budget. The County will then receive the annual stipend in September every year. As a result, we can expect to receive $50,000 in budget year FY 15-16.

3. Wind Farm Permit Fees – According to Mr. Hepler, the owners of Sugar Creek and Meridien both intend to request permits in 2016. A portion of this revenue was included in the budget for FY 15-16.

Mr. Anderson reviewed expenses for the committee. No concerns. Mr. Aylesworth reviewed revenues. No concerns.

A motion was made by Mr. Aylesworth, seconded by Mr. Rohlfs, to approve the bills. Motion passed.
