Upon roll call, the vote was as follows:
Ayes: Kimbrough, Mueller, Cerny, Simacek, Capek, Yates, and Galusha
Nays: None
The Chairman declared the motion carried.
In the absence of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Yates was appointed to assume the chair for the remainder of the meeting, beginning at 12.45 p.m.
Randy Mireau, CPA, explained the reason for the proposed amendment of the county budget. When the lid bill was originally passed by the Legislature, capital expense included road projects, equipment, furniture, vehicles, buildings and miscellaneous equipment that would last five years or more. This was changed several years ago, eliminating personal property and leaving only buildings and projects as capital expense to be used when figuring the restricted funds budget lid. This year Fillmore County, and most of the counties around, discovered this problem and had to make adjustments not previously needed.
The hearing on the proposed amendment to the budget for 2004-05 was opened at 1.00 p.m. as advertised and was held open until 1.30 p.m. No one appeared to testify either for or against the proposal.
Cerny moved and Galusha seconded the introduction of the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the amendment to the 2004-05 budget for Fillmore County, as advertised and heard at the public hearing held October 12, 2004, be approved, and the 2004-05 budget for Fillmore County is hereby amended to reflect the changes as advertised and adopted. Upon roll call, the vote was as follows:
Ayes: Cerny, Simacek, Capek, Yates, and Galusha
Nays: None Absent: Mueller and Kimbrough
The Chairman declared the motion carried.
The temporary Chairman declared the meeting adjourned until 9.00 a.m., October 26, 2004.
