<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />1 been using moneys in the construction fund. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Felix in the past has pursued the strategy, as he <br /> <br />3 and I have discussed, of keeping the staff funded with general <br /> <br />~ fund funds, even though they are working on the management of <br /> <br />5 the construction program. In the face of the 7 percent limi- <br /> <br />6 tation, though, that's just not in the cards this year. <br /> <br />7 As Felix well knows and in working with Representa- <br /> <br />8 tive Younglund, all we can hope for is to retain the general <br /> <br />9 fund position as we have, and for every new increment of money <br /> <br />10 that comes in. be sure w~ have the authority as a matter of <br /> <br />11 statute and a specific appropriation to take about 1 1/2 per- <br /> <br />12 cent of every new dollar. About 1 1/2 percent of every new <br /> <br />13 <br />1~ <br /> <br />dollar will be needed to manage. I'm working on some language <br /> <br />in 1039 we would like to pick up on the floor that clarifies <br /> <br />15 what's needed there. <br /> <br />16 MR.

Basically, we're at our limit. For every new dollar <br /> <br />that they want to give above what Bill 537 gave us last year, <br /> <br />we're going to need a percent and a half. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Can we hire staff under the wage <br /> <br />guidelines of civil service? <br /> <br />MR. McDONALD: I'm not sure. And that's a related <br />
