Meeting called to order at 10:30. Motion by Olson / Mehls to
adopt the agenda as published. Carried.
MEDICAL EXAMINER'S REPORT: Swetlik explained the Medical
Examiner's budget including salaries. Any line items that
are not used in a year are carried over to next year.
Without the addition of the salaries and fringes, motion by
Mehls /Gunderson to approve the budget of $85,204. Carried.
Expected budget to be around $133,334.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Moore reported the budget
salaries do not reflect the step increases because this
information is unknown at this time. The support staff is
increased by one. Johnson suggested to the committee to
discuss items that he has control over and not salaries,
life and health insurance. Victim Witness requests a new
laser printer as the one they have is no longer
serviceable. Would like to use the lease fee towards a new
printer instead of paying for a loaner. Committee requests
that Michelle Pietrick be at the Sept 9 th meeting to answer
questions on the new format for budgets. No motion was
made at this time as salaries and benefits were not
available. Governor James Doyle is coming on September 3rd
at 10:00 a.m.to sign the methamphetamine bill. Cutting of
staff in the DA's office will also be discussed at this
time. Our counter proposal would be to share a district
attorney with Pierce Co.
CHILD SUPPORT REPORT: Kapaun reported on some minor
changes in her budget. She tried to explain the SAGE
program. Motion by Speer /Gunderson to approve the budget
department request of $30,992.36 as presented subject to
change if the salaries change. Carried.
SHERIFF'S REPORT: Hillstead reported we would add the
security officer's position and the Huber officer position
to the 2004 budget. These positions will be in place as
long as the grant money is available. Staff development
will be higher next year. Budget reviewed. Inmate meal
