The $70,000.00 that was earmarked last year is also <br /> important. He urged the county board to approve this funding so Senior Citizens can move <br /> forward with any expenses. <br /> Lancaster stated this would be in one line item and the board would know how the dollars are <br /> being spent. <br /> Quandt stated he would like to see the $19,125.00 ran directly through Senior Citizens. <br /> Concern was expressed on the huge raises and then meals were cut for the seniors. <br /> Lancaster noted that the director's salary in 2017 was $47,000 last year it was $61,500.00 and <br /> this year is $75,125.00. The county struggles to give a 1 �/2% raise to employees. They want to <br /> make sure that the dollars are spread evenly. The rural communities need the programs. <br /> Richardson stated she would like to see the documentation on the salaries this is a multi-county <br /> agency and she would like to see if they are in line. She does not have a concern on Senior <br /> Citizens using the dollars but the budget was approved and she has concern regarding <br /> changing the funding for an overseeing agency. She would like to have Casey Muzik have a <br /> voice and suggested tabling with for 2 weeks. There needs to be communication. <br /> Dana with Senior Citizens stated that the $19,125.00 has been there and she uses that to <br /> balance her budget. If they run short she can request funds from MAAA. Those dollars are <br /> there to provide support for the home delivered meals. <br /> The vote on the motion to give the $19,125.00 directly to Senior Citizens was taken. <br /> Hartman, Hurst, Lancaster, Quandt and all voted yes and Richardson voted no.
