Fayette
County Commissioners said they want to set a
budget-cutting example for department heads, and they've
done so with a tentatively approved $455,004 budget for
2000.
That's
$146,646 less than last year's $601,650 budget, even
though it includes an additional staff person... on
paper. Commission secretary Carol Chandler's salary and
benefits were moved from the administration budget to the
commission budget for greater accuracy, said county
administrator Billy Beckett.
Among the
cuts, the group included only $30,000 for communication
this year, compared to last year's $72,000. Previous
commissions have used the money to send brochures to
residents explaining county programs.
