The board reviewed the budget by unit, reviewing each line item and requesting an explanation for any increase in expenditures or decrease in revenue. Lengthy discussion took place regarding the possible funding of the waiting list, and reinstatement of funding to guarantee meal sites would remain open on scheduled days in 2001. Nancy Cress, Aging Unit fiscal manager explained that budgeting for 1 day closure per site per quarter would be a worst-case scenario, and only utilized if the budget was in jeopardy. Budgeting was the same in 2000, but sites did not require closure due to other savings throughout the year. Ms. Hahn explained the challenges in funding waiting list requests with regard to significant proportions, guaranteed continued funding, unknown pending requests, and federal and state funding challenges. Mr. Moore asked if the Developmental Disabilities population was receiving their fair share of department expenditures. Ms. Hahn stated she believed they were, however, an expenditure analysis would need to be done to quantify the statement. The Board collectively stated they were opposed to cutting current services to vulnerable populations until the entire county budget was viewed in its entirety, and cuts to non-required items were made across all departments. Department budget is as follows: refunds of $585,346, revenues of $4,111,951, expenditures of $5,505,406 with a tax levy of $808,109, a 9.4% net increase. The department is absorbing 38.5% of the increases that are due to increases in insurance, salaries, and related benefits.
