Commissioner Kalo said Craig Snodgrass, Deputy Auditor is here to discuss the cost savings the Auditor’s office has done. Mr. Snodgrass said the county has gone to paperless payroll and they will urge all employees to go paperless w2’s. This saves the county around $20,000 which will be returned to the general fund. He stated that they will no longer pay rent to Lorain National Bank, with employees laid off there have been empty seats so they rearranged and pulled back the employees from the bank and moved them back into the 2nd floor offices. This saves around $12,000/year. He stated the county is down about $1.2 million from last year overall and no one can control revenue. County Administrator Cordes said why is a permanent tax need, economy recovering, he said the county has only seen a 3.5% growth and the quarters have been done for several years.
