Commissioners debate FHS, DSS funding Public hearing tonight on 2013-2014 budget by Leah Justice
Polk residents will have the opportunity tonight to speak their opinions on the board of commissioners’ proposed 2013-2014 budget with two of the most discussed topics being funding to Foothills Humane Society (FHS) and a requested position for
the county’s department of social services (DSS). Commissioners met June 3 and heard a second request from FHS officials to reconsider an increase in funding of 15 percent, or an additional $14,580 from its current $97,200. Commissioner Ray Gasperson also asked the board to reconsider hiring a child social worker for DSS.
