The next item on the agenda was a discussion of the different levies and
transfer tax. Chairman Young asked Mike Maier to lead off the discussion
as he had the handout and did the work in preparing the information for the
Commissioners. Mike started out by stating that the decision as to whether
or not a tax base will be used had to be made by February 19, 1980.
Mike stated that the County will have to ask the voters for approval for funds
to operate the county. Mike said that the Solid Waste levy which is expiring
soon and the Library levy which is expiring soon total about $1,000,000.
Mike also said that the County will also be needing funds above the 6% limitation
So far, Mike had told the Board facts that they already knew. The question now
remains as to how the county was going to get the funds. Mike said there are
several alternatives, the traditional one being the levy with a A and B ballot,
one is a Tax Base and the third one is a Transfer Tax. Mike said that if the
Board wanted to go with a Transfer Tax, a lot more research would have to be
done. Mike then summarized the different options and the proposed effect they
would have on the county. Mike stated that all the A Ballot must be approved
before the B Ballot can be approved. Jan Wick and Wally Cleveland were present
from the Budget Board and added to the discussion. There was discussion back
and forth.from Don Mason, Mike Kment, Vern Robinson and Tim Bailey. Oscar Bratton
was called on by Mike Maier to explain the transfer tax to the Board with
Pat Callison's help. Commissioner Young stated that he was opposed to any trans-
fer tax that hampers the necessities of life. Commissioner Paulsonr.stated that
he was in agreement with Commissioner Young. There was further discussion regarding
which wa:* the county would go-regarding the levies. Commissioner Paulson felt
that the library and solid waste disposal should be put back into the general fund
and a transfer tax put to the voters in May. Jan Wick did not feel that the
County should fool around with. transfer taxes.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved thst the Board put a tax base and

a transfer tax on the May ballot with nothing on the March
ballot having the solid waste and library brought back into
the basic county budget.
Commissioner Shepard stated that he would probably have seconded the motion
but he said he wasn't sure if it was wise to put both types of taxes on the
ballot at the same time. Commissioner Paulson withdrew his motion and made
another one.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to pull all of the County operations
under one budget.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second for discussion.
Chairman Young asked if there was any discussion; Commissioner Shepard said that
he would like to hear from Charlie Plummer, Roadmaster, and Marybeth Arbuckle,
Librarian regarding this motion. Marybeth Arbuckle stated that her concerns and
her board's concerns was that the library would be the first department to be
thrown out of the budget if the county should get into a crunch. Marybeth stated
that the library board is tired of being "played with" and "used".
VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye.
