Description

Continued meeting from Tuesday, June 26, 2013 of the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners. Agenda topic included County Interim Budget.

A

I'd like to call to order the continued meeting from jun 25 2013, the meeting was continued so that we could give the general assembly or wait for the General Assembly to take action on the cultural recreational. It's my understanding that has not happened and I'll recognize dr. Greene to kind of give us an update on where we're at and what our financial options are. Based on that fact, dr. Greene, mr.

B

Chairman commissioners, we did wait on the bill and yesterday nothing was hurting on the Senate floor, so we don't have a culture and recreation bill. We have to have a budget on Monday, though so I'm asking you to adopt an interim budget which is basically won 12 of the expenditures in 2013 the year. We're about to finish. It can't be when you're doing interim. It can't be more than the budgets you had before.

B

We really do believe we'll be able to be back in a few days, but we're asking you to do a 30-day interim budget, so we don't have to come back in case they take longer than we want them to take to do the CRA understand that's still going to. They still think it's going to pass, but they're dealing with tax reform and working out the details and the differences in the Senate and the House, Budget and I think we might be caught in that all.

A

Right, so basically this, as you said, this is a budget that- or this is a adopting a budget that can be altered any time during the 30 day period that it will vote, consider voting to enact it, and we think the General Assembly will take action. I think they have a scheduling, deadlines for trying to get out themselves, so I suspect they will be sooner than later. I. Don't.

B

Think we'll need the 30 days. We might need 10, though, and as soon as we come back and adopt a 2014 budget that sets this aside. Ok,.

A

Any questions for dr. Greene Bell what has been proposed is there a motion to adopt an interim budget. The same amount as last year for the next 30 days, motion by Commissioner Frost? Is there a second second second by Commissioner fryers are in discussion all those in favor of the motion to continue our budget. The same as last year for the next 30 days say: I I all opposed. No. The motion passes 70 there any other business before us today. I.

Thank you so, basically we're going to hear about an economic possibility, we're going to give instruction and we're not going to take any official action and we'll see if it works out and if they do they'll come back and then we'll take official action. If that's approved, is that right? Okay, that everybody understand, is there a motion to go into closed session for purposes stated by the county attorney so motion by Vice, Chair Jones second, by Commissioner Belcher? Is there any discussion, all those in favor say aye all opposed? No, we are in closed session.
