N Discussion on the budget was again brought up. The following budget as revised was then presented to the Board for approval: No. 63 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1973 TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Gentlemen: We, the undersigned members of the Executive Committee, hereby submit our budget report and recommendations for 1973. VALUATION ' The Supervisor of Assessments recommends a true valuation for Bayfield County of $107,266,800.00. This recommended value was accepted by the County Board at.the Equalization meeting. The legal levy limit exclusive of debt items for county general purposes is 1/. The proposed levy is $578,565.96 below the legal limit and $192,810.29 below last year's levy. Mt November 15, 1972 HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES The Health and Social Services Department budget is up $265,121.58 over last year. However, the county's share of this increase is $80,000.00 over last year. The rest of the increase is offset by increased aids. The increased valuations resulted in the county being charged with more of,the welfare costs. The increases in this department are in areas in which the county has little or no control. The. Rest Home, is being operated at full capacity. Because of a new policy in balling with the Department of Social Services the revenues equal the expenditures. However, there are..other costs to. the county in operating the Rest Home and they are referred to in another part of this report. All five counties are continuing their support of the North Central Guidance Clinic. An ordinance will be offered for your consideration which would allow counli,es to receive a 60/ state grant-in-aid'eff ective the lst of January, 1973, instead of the present 45% state grant-in-aid. This should reduce the county's share of the clinic costs. HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES Aside from.the bridge aids of $10,700.36 there is proposed for Highway construc- tion an amount of $85,000.00. There is no amount being levied for administration. Each year that road projects are delayed the cost to the county in matching funds is increased. FINANCE The interest and principal payments on the hospital bonds are offset on the revenue. side by the same amount. -The Hospital Association has met all their obli- gations and agreements without any cost to the county., The Emergency Employment Act account still appears in the budget. It is uncertain at this date as to how long this program will continue. None -the -less, the county as a whole is benefiting from this program. One of the large outlay items is $18,000 for the Rest Home. This item includes a new roof and other miscellaneous items. A cash surplus of $300,000.00 has been applied to the tax levy as compared to $155,000.00 last _pear. Again land and wood sales produced more revenue than ant6- cipated. Also the new revenue sharing has increased our revenues. However, the Executive Committee feels that it.is better to be somewhat conservative in .budgeting revenues than to over budget and put the county into a borrowing situation. We are not proposiAg any additions to the building fund, but are recommending that the I fun buildingvbe designated for repairs to the old court house and forestry building. The contingency fund is proposed at $75,000.00 to provide for any items that are not reflected .in the budget.. One major item could be increased wage costs. AUDIT The 1971 audi-t report has been completed at budget time and is of great assis- tance to the- committee. A copy of the audit report is available at the County Clerk's office or from any member of the Executive Committee for your inspection. All department budgets are at.the same or below the level of last year with modest increases other than those -referred to elsewhere in this report. We recommend the acceptance of the auditor's proposal to audit the 1972 records. The Committee wishes to thank the County Clerk's office and the Auditor for their assistance. November 15, 1972 Acct.
