News Journal, Mansfield, 0. Friday, February 8, 1991 4-c RegionOhioRocords ass buying could cut costs By Roger Nielsen Newt Journal v1 Reconciling spending requests with available money will mean trimming budgets as well as combined purchasing. Olson said the first step is to separate state-mandated spending from discretionary spending, then examine discretionary programs "in light of how much money is available." Selected departmental requests, with 1990 actual spending, include the sheriff's department, $2,916,402 ($2,361,344 spent last year); domestic relations and juvenile courts, $1,087,474 insurance, $1,083,279 Medicare and retirement, $889,000 prosecutor's office, $809,310 maintenance, $725,852 clerk of courts, $468,412 auditor, $448,000 and board of elections, $444,002 Departments also have proposed spending $360,000 for the local share of tornado warning sirens; $75,000 for a new elections computer, $1.7 million for the Child Support Enforcement Agency, $508,391 for Dayspring (the county home) and $191,307 for the dog pound. Two of the largest budgets will be $6.4 million for welfare, with the county supplying $1.1 million, and the county engineer, who will get more than $4.3 million, mostly in automobilelicense and gasoline tax revenue. elected officials and department heads to squeeze every available penny out of their individual budgets.

"The budget process really comes down to discussing with each individual department what their needs are," he said. Olson said he hopes to keep any increase at about the level of inflation. General fund spending last year was $13.7 million, up $796,000 from 1989. "One area that I would like to get very serious about this year is combining our purchasing power," he said. "The most reasonable approach would be that we would have a purchasing unit of probably no more than two or three people, would negotiate prices with various vendors and then everyone would be informed what vendors would provide what commodities at a specific price," he said.

It would allow vendors to submit one monthly bill, and the county to pay with a single check, instead of multiple invoices and payments for various departments, he said. Olson suggested the combined purchasing program in a memorandum to elected officials and department heads in December, and said all supported it in principle. MANSFIELD Volume discounts from group purchasing could help Richland County trim more than 1 million from spending requests and balance this year's general fund budget at $13.5 million, Commissioner Edward Olson said Thursday. Olson said combined purchasing could save nearly 1400,000 in supplies and food alone, a considerable chunk of the difference between 1991 budget requests and the money available. The county budget commissioner certified $13.5 million for this year's general fund budget, and elected officials and department heads have asked for (14.7 million.

Capital purchases in a non-general fund account that is funded with general fund money brings the total request to $15.2 million. Olson said he and Commissioners Dale Cook and Robert Ashbrook will hammer out the 1991 budget this year. Budget appropriations must be made by March 31. "Putting this budget together is a very labor-intensive task, and it just takes hours and hours to go through," he said. Balancing $15.2 million worth of wants with $13.5 million worth of reality means meeting with CPL.

JOHN NEYER and SHARON MILLER Couple rush to wed after Marine receives orders to go overseas EPA mum about Richland waste plan By Roger Nielsen Newt Journal MANSFIELD Wearing a red, white and blue wooden heart pin bearing her Marine fiance's name, Sharon Miller said she supports him 100 percent. "I'm just anxious. I want him to get to come home soon. I want everyone to come home," she said Thursday, a few hours before she left Mansfield for her earlier-than-expected wedding. Miss Miller, 24, of Mansfield was heading off to Rosemount, to marry Marine Cpl.

John Neyer, 24, before he ships out to Norway at the end of this month. "After that, we don't know," she said of her fiance's future deployment. "We kind of expected it, but when it came it was a shock." They will be married Saturday during a small ceremony, she said. "Just us and the pastor and two witnesses." Her dress features a long train and "lots of lace. It's pretty," said Miss Miller, the daughter of Floyd and Moina Miller of Illinois.

Neyer, the son of Forrest and Gerry Neyer of Mansfield, will wear his dress blues, Miss Miller said. He has to be back at his base Sunday, leaving precious few moments for they newlyweds. They had planned to marry in April at Mansfield Baptist Temple and will renew their vows when he returns, the bride-to-be said. The couple plans to live in Mansfield, said Miss Miller, who is an optician in Crestline. The couple met through friends while attending Tennesee Temple University.

would ask about Richland County's status. Woolpert Consultants has written 12 plans covering 35 Ohio counties, and five or six have been returned to local waste management districts for minor revisions and public approval, Olson said. "About half the plans (Woolpert) did, about six plans including ours, are sitting somewhere down at the EPA," he said. The management plans were required by waste reform legislation, House Bill 592, that took effect in June 1988. The legislation required counties or groups of counties for form waste management districts, organize committees and write detailed plans about how recycling and waste handling.

written with Woolpert's help have been passed with minor comments. After the EPA gives tentative approval to a plan, it must be submitted to the county commissioners, Mansfield City Council and legislative bodies representing 60 percent of the county's population for final approval. The plan does not include the steam and water trash processor that the city of Mansfield is considering. City Council last month authorized advertising for bids for a recycling machine, with an eye on the steam processor developed by Unamark Corp. of Slidell, La.

Olson has said that the plan is flexible, but the district will have a management committee to set rules and regulations for waste and recycling processes. Richland County formed a single district in March 1989, and wrote a plan that includes by-the-bag trash fees, mandatory curbside recycling in urban areas, allowing a private company perhaps Milliron Industries to build and operate a landfill, and banning grass clippings, leaves and other yard waste from a landfill. Olson said he believes the plan will be ready for implementation by mid-1991. The district committee in January 1990 authorized Milliron Industries to pursue a landfill permit for a site off Noble Road near Fowler Woods State Nature Preserve. Once its review is complete, the EPA can return the plan without comment, ask for modifications or reject the plan.

Olson said most plans MANSFIELD A consultant planned to ask the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency today for a status report on Richland County's solid waste management plan, county Commissioner Edward Olson said Thursday. The Richland County Solid Waste District met a Dec. 24 deadline to submit the plan, giving the EPA 45 days to review it and -issue comments. The 45-day period expired Thursday. Olson said a representative from Woolpert Consultants of Dayton, which was hired to help write the comprehensive document, scheduled a meeting with the EPA today to discuss another district's plan and Digest Grand jury indicts 14 for drug crimes By Carl Hunnell News Journal College savings bonds delayed COLUMBUS (AP) A program allowing parents to buy tax-free bonds from the state to fund their children's college education has been sidetracked, but sponsors say they will try to get into operation soon.

The setback came Thursday when the Ohio Public Facilities Commission refused to issue the bonds, citing Ohio's increasingly tight financial situation as one of several reasons. Sen. Paul Pfeifer, R-Bucyrus, sponsor of the 1989 law creating the bond program and another that features the sale of tuition credits unaffected by the decision said he understands. "Getting Ohio's fiscal problems straightened out is justifiably a greater priority for Gov. (George) Voinovich at the present time," Pfeifer said.

"Basically it's the governor's opinion that the patrol has been hamstrung," Curt Steiner, Voinovich's deputy chief of staff, said Thursday. "He thinks there's a great resource there to investigate potential wrongdoing in state government," Steiner said. Voinovich said the patrol had been hampered by a policy adopted in former Gov. Richard Celeste's administration.

"There was (a) policy statement that basically said that they couldn't go into an agency without first, I guess, going to the director of the department and getting his permission and that kind of thing," Voinovich said.
