Summary

The county clerk told officials to include about $6,900 for election mail postage and reminded the group of the 10-day newspaper posting requirement for elected-official salary notices.

Clerk (S3) told the group the postage line for election mail-outs should be increased by roughly $6,900 and said that amount will be added to the draft budget. The clerk also explained that elected officials must receive 10 days’ notice and that the county must publish the required notice in the newspaper, which the clerk said can satisfy the posting requirement when it appears on the paper’s website.

Participants agreed to avoid rushing the numbers and to let staff plug the discussed changes into the draft before reopening the budget for formal action; staff also discussed whether recent votes and short-term disability calculations had been included in the current draft.
