  13:39 ~ 1/21/2011 1:19:13 PM ~ Berger:  On page 13 it has a breakdown of the budget

  15:41 ~ 1/21/2011 1:21:15 PM ~ Meier  I think in context of the dollar compared to the ureo

  16:17 ~ 1/21/2011 1:21:51 PM ~ Edmonds  Would be???

  16:32 ~ 1/21/2011 1:22:05 PM ~ Von Flatern  I'm not sure.  We are taking out two new domestic markets

  17:02 ~ 1/21/2011 1:22:35 PM ~ Berger They wnated to meter their saturation.  It has been an effective marketing tool

  18:11 ~ 1/21/2011 1:23:45 PM ~ Nichols  It is a real problem to get from Seattle to Cheyenne.

  18:47 ~ 1/21/2011 1:24:20 PM ~ Berger  Go to handout #??  It has some interesting

  19:18 ~ 1/21/2011 1:24:51 PM ~ Wallis  I think we need to come back and take a look at the 3 mill.

  20:04 ~ 1/21/2011 1:25:37 PM ~ Von Flatern  I would amend

  20:38 ~ 1/21/2011 1:26:11 PM ~ Nicholas  Reduce it from 1.5 to $750,000

  21:29 ~ 1/21/2011 1:27:02 PM ~ Harshman  Page 10 carring over to page 11.  There is curre

  22:49 ~ 1/21/2011 1:28:22 PM ~ Nicholas  I'll make a motion that we break it in half

  23:18 ~ 1/21/2011 1:28:51 PM ~ Harshman   Page 11  Increase overall repeat regional markets  Delete intirally.  It's a supplemental budget  I want to hear more next budget go around.  The ambient media seems like it is a different market

  25:54 ~ 1/21/2011 1:31:27 PM ~ Nicholas   Take a look at page 16  We have been putting a lot into this agency year after year.  They can squeeze out $600,000 from thier budget.  Clarifying all the changes

  27:45 ~ 1/21/2011 1:33:19 PM ~ Berger  Illiminage $125,000 for foreign funding

  28:19 ~ 1/21/2011 1:33:52 PM ~ Harshman  The redesign of the website  This is to redo their website

  29:21 ~ 1/21/2011 1:34:55 PM ~ Wallis  This is a very large budget

  29:52 ~ 1/21/2011 1:35:26 PM ~ Mai  Were in a little doubt  about that first cut.

  31:07 ~ 1/21/2011 1:36:40 PM ~ Dawn  $1,550,000

  31:28 ~ 1/21/2011 1:37:01 PM ~ Mai  There is a statement that this is a one time request.

  32:09 ~ 1/21/2011 1:37:42 PM ~ Berger  Agency 67  Bottom of Page 16

  32:42 ~ 1/21/2011 1:38:15 PM ~ Nicholas   The gov. requests that we pull this out.  In some sense we could do that.  I would like for us to discuss this

  33:59 ~ 1/21/2011 1:39:32 PM ~ Mai  There issue is that all state agencies are treated the same as others.   If its available use that first.  UW's position is that everything is a block grant.

  35:28 ~ 1/21/2011 1:41:01 PM ~ Nicholas   It would be unit 1601

  35:45 ~ 1/21/2011 1:41:18 PM ~ Cox   The budget dividsion is comfortable with that proposal.

  36:11 ~ 1/21/2011 1:41:45 PM ~ Nicholas YOu  would have to transfer it....6707  would require

  37:01 ~ 1/21/2011 1:42:34 PM ~ Nicholas  Do we want to move those monies out and make insurance payments in a different series

  38:42 ~ 1/21/2011 1:44:16 PM ~ Mai  I think you can take care of this by footnoting it at the bottom of the bill.

  39:40 ~ 1/21/2011 1:45:13 PM ~ Nicholas  We do work within

  40:05 ~ 1/21/2011 1:45:38 PM ~ Mai   Your are exacitly right  WE just put an line item for that cost

  41:18 ~ 1/21/2011 1:46:51 PM ~ Harshman   Are they part of Hay group study.  Salary and benefits are part of teh block prouj

  42:47 ~ 1/21/2011 1:48:20 PM ~ Nicholas  We have been doing this for all other agencies   1/5   WE give them money in increaxsse the  There is a be     If they don't take their

  45:29 ~ 1/21/2011 1:51:03 PM ~ Nicholas  If we gave enough

  46:24 ~ 1/21/2011 1:51:57 PM ~ Edmonds  Is the money right

  46:53 ~ 1/21/2011 1:52:26 PM ~ Nicholas   What is the baseline?

  47:36 ~ 1/21/2011 1:53:09 PM ~ Cox  Gov.

  48:10 ~ 1/21/2011 1:53:43 PM ~ Nicholas  Right now is   It is in the health insurance

  49:08 ~ 1/21/2011 1:54:41 PM ~ Berger  We will take an example.

  51:17 ~ 1/21/2011 1:56:51 PM ~ Mai  The very simple solution is to put a footnote on it.  That is something the budget people do.  We could put in a Section 300 for all angences

  52:40 ~ 1/21/2011 1:58:13 PM ~ Nicholas  The state of Wyoming pays for retirees unused vacation and sick leave  If you have a 35 year employee, the way the      The substantial amount to that fund is   We will do baby steps here.  How does that sound?

  56:02 ~ 1/21/2011 2:01:36 PM ~ Mai  Put a footnote that you can pay 100 series, can't use it for non-100 serces .

  57:33 ~ 1/21/2011 2:03:06 PM ~ Wallis   I'm worried about that unfunded liablity

  58:12 ~ 1/21/2011 2:03:45 PM ~ Nicholas  Its a benefit that exists.  When you tell an employee tat he has $40,000 he feels that he will be paying taxes.  Small agencies cannot afford to live with that.  There is no benefit of being  healthy.  If you change it, it has consequences.

1:02:25 ~ 1/21/2011 2:07:58 PM ~ Pedersen   One of the things fro new employees would     still honoring that contract.

1:03:46 ~ 1/21/2011 2:09:19 PM ~ Nicholas  I think in the end is when you never look at it

1:04:25 ~ 1/21/2011 2:09:58 PM ~ Berger   Take a quick break.  5 min.
