However, Mr. Schilling said <br />he is calling for a change in philosophy for how funds are used as he feels we owe it to <br />the citizens to be careful stewa rds of tax money. Mr. Schilling said money is given to <br />specific agencies for specific purposes, but by allowing this use we are circumventing the <br />budget process. Mr. Schilling said these funds could be applied to other uses. He said he <br />cannot ascertain the validity of the need for these funds without comparing it with other <br />needs. Mr. Schilling said he is not punishing JAUNT, but by allowing them to retain the <br />funds, we may be punishing other agencies. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati made a motion to approve the resolut ion, and Mr. Lynch seconded <br />the motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he does not think it is a good idea to request agencies that have <br />shown efficiencies to return funds, noting that it may create a spend it or lose it mentality. <br />Mr. Lynch said he supports programmin g savings into something critical to the efficiency <br />of an organization. Over time he said he thinks Mr. Schilling's suggestion would have a <br />negative impact. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he thinks M. Schilling's suggestion is a valid one to study, but he is <br />concerned ab out using JAUNT as a vehicle to do that. Mr. Cox said he would prefer to <br />separate the issue as a concept. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling said he would like to pursue the matter, and said he is not <br />categorizing it as a penalty. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati suggested that Council consi der this as part of the budget priority <br />discussion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he would not support allowing retention of funds that are <br />available due to a lack of demand for service, but would support retention because of <br />efficiencies. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said that Coun cil has examined the impact of gainsharing, and feels <br />it will be important to the discussion. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell noted that the Schools also have a gainsharing policy. <br /> <br /> The Resolution Allowing JAUNT to Retain $17,167 in Surplus funds was <br />approved by the foll owing vote. Ayes: Mr. Caravati, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Richards. <br />Noes: Mr. Schilling. <br /> <br />WHEREAS <br />, the Jefferson Area United Transportation (JAUNT) accrued a <br /> <br />budget surplus in Fiscal Year 2001, in the amount of $17,167; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS <br /> , the JAUNT Board ha s requested that this surplus be used, in <br />conjunction with federal funds to be received by JAUNT, toward the installation of a <br />computerized scheduling system; now, therefore <br /> <br />
