AGENDA #4c
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for Advertising Advisory Board Vacancies
DATE: December 6, 2004
Enactment of the attached budget ordinance would allocate $4,000 in additional funds for advertisement of advisory board and commission vacancies.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Each year, the Town Clerk’s Office advertises for recruitment of volunteers to serve on various advisory boards and commissions, as well as ad hoc committees and task forces. During the current fiscal year, these expenses have exceeded our estimated budget of $6,600. Contributing factors included the advertisements for the Special Committee to Consider Renaming Airport Road and the Stormwater Management Utility Advisory Board, and most recently advertisements for the newly-created Budget Review Advisory Committee.
The Town Clerk’s Office in late January will begin the three-month recruitment process for volunteers to fill advisory board vacancies expected on June 30, 2005. In addition, other miscellaneous advertisements, such as holiday closings and public forums, will require publication. In order to meet these needs, additional funding of $4,000 is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
The Manager recommends enactment of the attached budget amendment to provide $4,000 in additional funding in the Town Clerk’s budget.
