Johnson suggested that the clerk give an update on the 1982 budget work.
Clerk Strom informed the board that -he is waiting for a worksheet from the state
to determine our tax levy. To. date, we have still not received the worksheet.
Johnson encouraged the board to give the Executive Committee any suggestions they
might have on ways to cut the budget.
Some suggestions that were considered were for the county to retain the in -lieu of
taxes monies which is -usually distributed to the various townships, to retain the monies in
the dog license fund, to use the monies in the building fund, and to cut back on the number of
conventions attended by county personnel.
Anderson stated he would like to see the contingency fund out so that it would just
cover the bare essentials. "
McGillivray stated that he.did not think it was necessary for whole committees to
attend conventions or meetings. He felt that the adminstrator could attend and report back to
the committee.
Renoos stated he would like to see a one year moratorium on conventions to see how
it would affect the budget.
Rave disagreed stating that some conferences: and conventions are very worthwhile.
