However, Tommy Tomlinson is cstimating that non-tax revenues will be approximately $100,000 LESS than this year. Additionally, last year we dipped into reserves for about $800,000, which I am reluctant to do again this year. Keeping that revenue picture in mind, the following are my "big-ticket" spending priorities based on a careful and critical review of the various departmental submissions. This is, of course, only my priority list; however, I believe it will serve to focus our attention on what is essential. 1. 2.5% COLA (all employees) - $ 110, 725 2. Elected official/department head salary increases - $85,000 3. Tax Assessor/Collector Deputy Voter Registrar (new position) - $23,843 4. Courthouse Air-conditioning - $30,000 5. Courthouse annex finish-out/courthouse renovation - $50,000 6. Sheriff's Office Communications - $119,000 (based on $1.SMM financed over 20 years at 5%) 7. Ag Barn repair/renovation - ? It will be interesting, as always. Cc: Elected Officials and Department Heads
