Mrs . Joyce Terry, Orient, President of the Floyd Memorial Library,
Greenport spoke about the lack of the $10, 000 additional funds
given to the libraries last year when it was determined there were
funds available at the end of the year.---Supervisor Martocchia
stated that was done for the first time last year due to the avail-
ability of surplus funds . However, that money is not available this
year and won ' t be in the 1979 budget.---Mrs. Terry said they were
relying on this additional allocation for 1979. She asked why
there was money in the budget for police cars.---Supervisor
Martocchia stated they buy half the cars one year and half .the
next year, making each car last two years contrary to what had been
done several years back. This is one method of tightening up on the
budget expenditures.
