Budget vote approves county plan while denying JP and constable staff
Commissioners adopt a 344.5 million budget for the new fiscal year starting March 1. The vote rejects requests from Justice of the Peace Morrison and Constable Jim Douglas for extra deputies and clerks, citing cost limits. Salary increases of 8 percent or 75 dollars monthly are approved for county employees, while some leaders, including Commissioner Jim Fontena, reject raises. The tax rate may drop from 2.14 to 1.95 with a higher assessment ratio, and several departments face staffing cuts despite rising workloads. The general fund budget weighs in at 95 million for 1977, with federal revenue sharing funds and hospital district budgets still pending.
