Consent Agenda: Commissioner Sims asked to get the other out of the way and come back to this. Chairman Baucom asked if he was asking to go to item 3 with Commissioner Sims answering yes.
Administrative Matters:
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Budget Ordinance: Motion by Commissioner Sims, seconded by Commissioner Sturdivant, that it be approved. Commissioner Sims then commented that he thought this was an excellent budget and congratulated County Manager Gatewood and staff on a wonderful job. Chairman Baucom commented that she didn’t know how the County Manager goes about putting together a complex document like this with Commissioner Sims saying he has good help. Chairman Baucom stated that she likes it because we are investing in Anson County and that goes to attitude and appearance of our community. Chairman Baucom stated that we were improving our ability to respond to emergency calls with a new facility and investing in our children’s education by doubling our teacher supplement. Commissioner Sims commented that it was being responsible for the future of six year olds. Vice Chair Streater stated that as long as there is no tax increase he will go for it. Chairman Baucom stated no tax increase since 2010 with County Manager Gatewood saying five years. Chairman Baucom commented that we have been and probably continue to be one of the few counties in North Carolina who have not balanced our budget on the backs of the public schools. Vice Chair Streater asked the amount left in fund balance. Ms. James answered that that would not be decided until the auditors do their thing. Chairman Baucom expects it is more than 8%. Ms. James noted it would be more than 8% but we used some in the budget this year for some of the renovations. Vice Chair Streater asked the amount we had to stay above with Ms. James answering 8%. County Manager Gatewood reminded board members that at the June 30, 2012 audit report we had right at 7.3 Million Dollars in our fund balance. County Manager Gatewood stated that if he had to take a guess today we would be right around six million dollars and this budget calls for a minimum of five million dollars in fund balance at any point in time. Motion carried unanimously.
