The first five under consideration could be characterized as year-end tying up of loose ends. Routine as they were there was little discussion other than a couple of questions about anticipated property tax distributions from the state through the County. To avoid the additional expense of issuing tax anticipation warrants covering shortfalls, inter-fund transfers or borrowing was requested. The Controller said the absence of'08 pay '09 tax distribution necessitated this temporary allowance. In the end once accounts were settled and a recent audit suggestion to define full and part-time employment was completed, there would be a net zero dollar affect according to Zientara.
