$4.5-Million Budget
Requests Recorded
Proposals $373,000 More Than 1988
Departmental budget re
quests for 1989 totaling some
$373,000 more than was ap
proved for the current calendar
year have been submitted to
Chattooga County Commis
sioner Harry Powell.
The 1989 requests amount
to $4,494,674, $373,625 more
than the $4,121,049 Powell
said he had budgeted for 1988.
This year’s budget figures are
the same as for 1987. Depart
ment heads last summer sub
mitted budget requests for this
year that were higher than the
1987 figures but the commis
sioner decided to keep the
budget the same for two years
in a row.
STATUTES
Under state statutes with
agplication only to Chattooga,
the commissioner has until
next Wednesday to review the
proposals. The law also says if
the commissioner disapproves
any of the budgets, he ‘‘shall
enter (his) disapproval thereon
in writing within 10 days from
the filing of same in its of
fiog: 0.
It's unclear whether the
“filing”’ referred to in the law
means the June 1 date that
each departmental budget was
filed with Powell’s office, or the
date that a disapproval was fil
ed by the commissioner on his
records.
A state budget law with
general application — which
takes precedence over local law
— also r(;?uires that the pro
?osed local budget be available
or public inspection. It must
also be published in the local
newspaper. A date, time and
location of a public hearing on
the budget must be set at that
time, tfie state budget law
says.
HEARING
The public hearing on the
budget must be held at least
seven days before the budget is
adopted, the state law in
dicates, and the budget must
be adopted at a public meeting
that has been advertised a
week in advance.
An overall county budget
must contain both revenue and
expense estimates for the com
ing year, the general state law
says. ’
The 1989 budgets turned in
to Powell list only proposed ex
penditures by department. The
commissioner apparently has
the responsibility for determin-

penditures for 1989 for the
sheriff's office and jail were
listed at $1,259,298, up
$315,968 from the current
budgeted figure of $943,330.
Sheriff Gary McConnell
said his office would generate
$1,384,285.92 in revenue in
1989. That would mean that
the sheriff’s office would pro
duce $124,987.69 more in
revenue than it would spend if

said.

GARY McCONNELL SHERIFF
Dear Fellow Citizens:
The greatest tribute that can be paid to a person is to serve as an elected
official, for which I thank you. The citizens of Chattooga County have placed
me in this honored position.
All that has been accomplished during my administration has been
through the combined efforts of the department’s deputies, other law enforce
ment agencies and most importantly, you, the public. You have given us
valuable and needed assistance.
Be assured that your confidence in me is graciously accepted. It also
serves to remind me of the responsibilities of this trusted position. The
Sheriff’s office under my leadership will continue to educate our youth about
crime and its effects, to patrol our streets and roads, to be readily accessible
should our services be needed, to maintain humane conditions for prisoners
housed in our jail and to serve our courts as duty demands.
Your vote on August 9th will remind me, Gary McConnell, of my duty to
vou. As long as | am your Sheriff, I pledge to continue the effective law en
forcement to which Chattooga County has become accustomed.
