costs of the Coordinator's salary next budget year. On

one-half of the salary of the Crime Stoppers Coordinator.

Auditor estimated the Court needed to budget a minimum of
$30,000 to $35,000 annually for this position. He also
noted that the Tax Office needed to hire someone to learn
the double entry system rather than the single entry
