5. VISITOR COMMENTS —
6. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS
C. Walton — I like the decision to reduce the use of fund balance. Being that tight with it would
push the envelope. We could make it happen, but I think we would be sweating it. If there was
anything else that came up throughout the year, we now know that we have funds saved.
M. Dolph — Paul thanks for your analysis of the budget. I think we did the right thing. We have
come back to looking at the big picture.
P. Van Dyke — None.
J. Parker — Budgets really require study throughout the year to be able to make revisions so we
can plan better.
C. Walton — We can plan as much as we want but Contractors have gone up in price and have
stopped listening to what the customer wants. Its has gotten much more difficult to work with
Contractors and we must make sure we stay on them to give us what we want.
