County officials foresee no major shifts in priorities or programs this year - a bit more for towns' economic development projects, a bit less for roads, expenditures for mapping and, probably, for voting equipment. Overall, according to Chief Financial Officer Glen Chipman, the county's budget strategy has been to enjoy the benefit of over $6 mil- lion per year from the Rabanco regional land- fill in Roosevelt, while being disciplined enough to set money aside in ease the land- fill's contribution is compromised for any rea- son: earthquake, disaster, new regulation - who knows. "We haven't had much controversy with the budget - the landfill helps," Chipman said.

As the commissioners and Chipman dis- cussed during a budget workshop on July 22, Budget Policy No. 7 from the 2oo4 budget, which instituted the cuts, will not appear in 2005. The Rabanco landfill's estimated produc- tive life span is 4o years. Since money began to flow in in 1994 from a per-ton "tipping fee," the county's total budget has doubled - it was $13 million in 199o, Chipman said.

"Everybody knows we have Chipman said, referring to who must submit budgets. "But on operations, it's gone." The county may have cut no has also added precious few in five years, according to Chipman. "It takes discipline," he said.
