F sL <br />Patrick: With no opposition then... <br />Hostetler: Joann, she just voted nay. <br />Patrick: Oh you voted nay? <br />Sporleder: I did. <br />Patrick: I'm sorry, it sounded like aye. The motion carries with one negative vote. <br />Hostetler: And then the Director's salary to increase it to $40, 000. <br />Patrick: From? <br />Hostetler: $36,050. <br />Chase: So moved. <br />Klusczinski: Second. <br />Patrick: In favor? (Ayes are heard) <br />Sporleder: I'm opposing. The county generally speaking is trying to freeze salaries... <br />Hostetler: This comes from the City. <br />Sporleder: The city is trying to do the same thing. <br />Hostetler: We get a grant. <br />Patrick: Martha, did you vote? <br />Choitz: No, I didn't. I vote with everyone else. <br />Patrick: I take that to mean that you vote aye? <br />Choitz: Aye. <br />Hostetler: Thank you. <br />Patrick: Well earned. <br />Moved Chase Second: Klusczinski Vote: 6-1-1 <br />Opposed: Sporleder <br />Abstaining: Hostetler <br />Patrick: We also have an issue regarding RestoreMichiana? <br />Hostetler: Yes. I would like a motion to approve out of our budget to spend up to $10, 000 to <br />partner with HLFI for the 2nd Annual RestoreMichiana Conference. <br />Patrick: And this money comes from? <br />Hostetler: Our budget. <br />Patrick: Excellent. <br />Zeiger: Just a note that I will abstain, but I'd like to comment about it. <br />Chase: When is the date? <br />Patrick: We haven't set a date yet, but we should get our committee together very soon. <br />Catherine and I had lunch today and also last week and we talked about it. We're going with a <br />different venue and a little bit earlier in the year, the weather was way too nice last time, and the <br />Century Center was more than we wanted to spend and we've got a lot of ideas and we'll get <br />together with the committee soon. I think though that the first thing to do is to get... did we <br />already do a motion to...? <br />Hostetler: No. <br />Patrick: May I have a motion from somebody? <br />Klusczinski: I move to appropriate up to $10, 000 for the RestoreMichiana program. <br />Patrick: Do I have a second? <br />Choitz: Second. <br />Patrick: A second by Martha Choitz. All in favor? (Ayes are heard) Opposed? (Silence) <br />Zeiger: I abstain. <br />Moved Klusczinski Second: Choitz Vote: 7-0 <br />Abstaining: Zeiger <br />Zeiger: I just wanted to note that its our anticipation in meeting with Catherine and Amy, we met <br />about this and we looked over last year's budget and looked ahead to this year and we've more <br />realistically estimated how many people will come, and how much we'll charge. Its my thought <br />that we'll recoup most if not all of the $10, 000 that you're encumbering. There just needs to be a <br />pot of money to use to get the thing set up. Once we get it going, its our expectation that we'll <br />recapture those dollars that can then be used again in future years. We're reducing the amount <br />15 <br />
