HE HAD HOPED HE COULD OPERATE <br />UNTIL THE END OF THIS YEAR, BUT HE FINDS THAT HE WILL BE SHORT ABOUT <br />$11,000 TO $15,000. WHAT HE IS ASKING IS TO BECOME A BUDGET OFFICE. <br />MR. HARRIS IS REQUESTING THIS BOARD TO SIGN A RESOLUTION, AS OUTLINED IN <br />CHAPTER 145 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES, CHANGING HIS OFFICE TO A BUDGET <br />OFFICE WHERE THE BOARD WILL PAY ALL HIS BILLS AND HE WILL TURN OVER <br />ALL HIS FEES TO THE BOARD. <br />AS A FEE OFFICER, MR.

HARRIS HAS RETURNED THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS: <br />1972 - $107,934.27 <br />1973 - 65,016.63 <br />1974 0 54,601.07 <br />CHAIRMAN LOY SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD INDICATE TO MR. HARRIS <br />THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN HIS BECOMING A BUDGET OFFICE AS HE REQUESTED <br />AND TO REQUEST HIM TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD THE AREAS IN WHICH HE COULD <br />REDUCE HIS PRESENT OPERATION WITH A TIME SCHEDULE OF WHEN THIS COULD BE <br />ACCOMPLISHED. THE AREA THAT WOULD NEED ADJUSTMENT IS THE AREA OF SALARIES. <br />THE ATTORNEY WILL RESEARCH THE PERTINENT FLORIDA CHAPTERS, <br />IN ORDER FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER MAKING THIS CHANGE AS REQUESTED BY <br />RALPH HARRIS. <br />29 <br />JUN 181975 <br />TOOK �m <br />vE 9C <br />
