requesting a label printer. Young also discussed the Civil
Service testing process.

Director Matt Anderson presented his 2014 Preliminary Budget.
Anderson is requesting a full time position which would be split
half for maintenance and half for fairgrounds. Anderson stated
he created cleaning standards to his staff, stating he has too
much real estate to keep clean with the current staff. The
utilities budget has been reduced due to the new energy savings
that was part of the Department Enterprise Services grant.
Anderson brought up the suggestion of separating the Event
Center and Facilities Maintenance; he would like to start the
conversation with the Board.
