To do a level of funding budget, he had to cut that further. <br /> The only dace to take that out of would be salaries, which he can't do, or out of the <br /> expense account which is already bare bones. so he had to cut the conservation Tour <br /> Program, from, $7,000 to $4,400 to make up the shortfall. <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the Agent's proposed <br /> level of funding budget if it is required for us to operate on that budget, and the level of <br /> service budget} which the Commission would prefer to have. <br /> 3.
