Mr. Oxenfeld read the following statement: "During the period between 12 July, 19'71, and 23 July, 1971, the New Hanover County Commissioners conducted a series of nine meetings, to review the proposed budget for fiscal 9ear 1971-i9'72. It was very rev~arding to have attended each o£ these meetings and to have participated in the review, modification and adoption of the final budget of $13,318,23~.00. The budget is a well prepared document, consisting of 108 pages and many line items. Minutes of the budget hearings com- prise 38 pages. "At the regular Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, ~ September, 19'71, an item was discussed, regarding the General F~.nd, Department of the Auditor. The item pertained to a new position, Steno I, at an appropriation oS $4,356.00. Althou~h this specific item was omitted from the original budget presentation and although it does not appear in the minutes of the budget hearings, I recall the item being discussed informally during a recess during the budget hearings. During the pressure and tension of all parties concerned, in an attempt to complete the budget hearings, this item was apparently inadvertently omitted. I did realize, however, that this item was included in the final budget, as adopted. ' 11 MINUTES OF SPECIAI, MEETING - SEPTEfBER 9, 1971 (CONTINUED) NEW POSITION IN AUDITOR'S OFFICE (CONTINUED) - "Since the item pertaining to a new position, Steno I, Department of the Auditor, at an appropriation of $4,356.00, is included in the New Hanover County Budget £or the fiscal year 1971-1972, since this position was filled and vacated within a period of,approximately two weeks, and since the work load of the Department of the Auditor has continued to increase to the point of requiring additional personnel, I move that the unexpended portion of this appropriation remain within the Budget of the Department of the Auditor, under a line item entitled 'Salary". , "9 September, 19'71 John R. Oxenfeld" Mr. Marks seconded Mr. Oxenfeld's motion. Motion carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT - There being no further business to come before the Board, meeting was adjourned.
