AGENDA: MOTION: A motion was introduced by Bethke, seconded by Berenschot, and unanimously adopted: That the agenda be approved as circulated. 1 changed - so the budget had to be changed. Borup gave an overall view of the proposed budget summary. We were directed to not include salary/fringe increases in the 2000 budget. With the County Board's action increasing non-union salaries (August 15'') 3.5% retroactive to 1/1/00, non-union salaries are up 10.5% in the 2001 budget. Borup added that some employees received more than 3% in 2000. Many union and non-union employees also received step increases. Union salary/fringe for the County are still unsettled (Nursing Home union salaries/fringe increased by County Board on May 16, 2000 costing $393,534.19). The Department's Budget contains cost projections for union increases. This County Board action also increases the Health Insurance cost to the County by $56.65 per employee per month. Cost for these salary/fringe increases for 2001 are: $863,665.00 - Nursing Home $438,276.00 - Department of Health& Human Services These salary/fringe increases are the main reason that for the first time in seven years, we will be requesting an increase in the County allocation. Remember that the Department's County allocation for 2000 was $2,982,910 plus a prior year carry over of$461,177 = $3,444,087. For 2001 the County allocation increases to $4,283,989. $4,283,989 - 2001 County allocation (Gross) $2,982,910 - 2000 County allocation (+ $461,177 carryover) $1,301,079 - Increased County allocation - 350,000* - Prior year carryover 951,079 - Increase with $350,000 carryover $3,933,989 - County allocation *The $350,000 proposed prior year carryover is taken from Rod Paulson's 1999 audit set at $517,409 plus $90,175 in depreciation. Carrying this much over is dependent upon passage of Resolution to cover costs in attached Resolution. This budget represents a two-year increase. This budget also does not include any major purchases. This budget includes step increases, in addition to salary increases for the non-union. MOTION: A motion was 'introduced by Stephens, seconded by Burri: That the Health and Human Services Board approve the recommended 2001 budget for the Department of Health and Human Services in the amount of$3,933,989 which includes the carry over of$350,000.
