HEARING re: 2018 Second Quarter Budget Appropriations/Extensions; Various County Departments: Central Services Director Mark McCauley explained each budget appropriation and extension request from various County Departments. Chair Sullivan opened the hearing for public testimony. Tom Thiersch, Jefferson County: Thank you Mr. Morley, your memory is outstanding since I discussed with you about two weeks ago the issue about why the courts aren't on the same system as you are here, so, excellent. And that was going to be my first comment, is to work as closely as possible with the other administrative officers in the building,try to consolidate, get as much commonality in technology as possible, that which works best which seems to be AV Capture All. It seems to be quite a good system except for those few occasions where it has failed us. It's a whole lot better than JAYS was. I did want to say one other thing. I attend the meetings of a lot of other agencies around the County, and none of them,that I attend, have the same degree of transparency when it comes to how the money is spent, as evidenced by the budget appropriations and extensions that happen here every quarter. The County's budget is pretty opaque, but that's not your fault. The structure of it is dictated by the state and other things, so I understand that. But to the extent that you can, you do in fact make it clear where changes are made. The largest public entity in this County, Jefferson Healthcare, they might publish where they're spending the money, but they never tell you how they're shuffling the money around from week to week, month to month, quarter to quarter. No visibility at all. Same thing with PUD.No,they just have a fund and they say well, we had a budget, but we don't want to spend it here, we want to spend it 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of July 16, 2018 there, and you don't know about it until the year's up so I just appreciate the fact that we are kept informed about changes that are taking place, so thank you.
