do so.
Robert Anderson, a citizen from the Johnsonville area appeared before

afternoon he had spent approximately 2 1/2 hours with the County
Manager studying the budget. Mr. Anderson expressed his appreciation
to Mr. Brock for taking the time from his busy schedule to help him
better comprehend the role of the budget, and he also complimented the
board on a "job well done' in preparing the 1980 -81 budget for Harnett
County. Mr. Anderson continued to state that while reviewing the
budget, he came across the following issues which concerned him and
which he would like for the Board to resolve:
1. Mr. Anderson questioned who was responsible for cutting back the
teacher's supplement from $110 to $82.50. He explained that the news
media had quoted Mr. Gray as stating that the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners were responsible for this action. 2. Mr. Anderson
also stated that he had read in the news media that although the tax
levy had decreased that the tax values had not been reduced. He,
therefore, requested that the Board of Commissioners consider the
persons on fixed incomes when they set the tax levy.
Mr. Alphin expressed his appreciation to Mr. Anderson for coming before
the Board and expressing his views on the proposed budget. Mr. Alphin
also complimented Mr. Anderson on taking the time to review the budget
and to get a better understanding of the role it portrays in the
development of the County.

supplement. Mr. Brock explained that on May 14, 1980, the Board of
Education presented their proposed budget for the F.Y. 1980 -81 to the

fied Mr. Gray that the County would appropriate $2,171,151 to school
