County returns to old budget class control The board of supervisors shifted its method of controlling “budget expenditures Tuesday, the second change in the past few months, What the board did was return completely to the system in use in past years, That is class. control, which means department heads are granted a certain amount of money for each type of expenditure such as office supplies and can spend within those limits without regard to whether a sub item is overexpended. Earlier in the year, at the urging of the late Lou Hartman, the board agreed to switch to line control during the last three months of the current fiscal year, That would have required transfer requests whenever all money in a sub category, such as telephones was used up. Auditor Controller John T. Trauner urged return to a class system completely, saying that "some line items already are expended" by the last quarter of the year. He said class control is easier to operate, Supervisor William Thomas agreed with this approach, commenting: "I. feel class control gives what we need for budget control and gives department heads the flexibility they need to operate.” . However, Supervisor Ralph Buchanan disagreed, saying "we have a tight budget and should be conscious of that all the time, , We'll have less trouble in the last three months if we use caution all along." However, the vote to return to class control was 4-1 with only Buchanan voting no. Trauner also presented the board printed copies of the final It shows the county's budgeted expenditures for 1969-70 total $7,066,851. The budget breaks down into these categories: : General, $5,509,610; road, $1,429,224; promotion, $38,200; accumulative capital outlay, $35,293; fish and game, $6,774; aviation, $47,750. The county had almost $5 million available to meet these budgetary needs without property taxes and thus requires $2,068,703 from property taxes to balance the books this year.
