<br />Administrator Baird <br /> joined in that 24% of that was his own budget with the rest being <br />constitutional and the State Health Department and the Mental Health (which is required). He <br />discussed the need to limit constitutional, as people did not understand that the counties have to <br />pay for the school board’s collections. School board or municipalities do not have to pay for their <br />taxes, the county does. He believed the formula should be changed, that if “you increase your <br />taxes, you pay your percentage, not the county. If the school board increases ad valorem taxes, <br />they should pay their share to the property appraiser and tax collector and so should every other <br />taxing district (including the cities).” He thought maybe commercial should only be capped to go <br />up 5% per year in evaluation, which would be a safer proposal. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger <br />stated that Administrator Baird had touched on unfunded <br />mandates. He recalled that Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem had a dialog with Senator Pruitt, <br />who had remarked that the counties needed to cut back, and she wrote back and asked about these <br />unfunded mandates. Chairman Neuberger described the response from Senator Pruitt as “a joke” <br />because it said they never did any unfunded mandates. Chairman Neuberger requested copies of <br />those e-mails. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wheeler <br />presented the scenario of how the Legislature decided that the <br />County needed new voting machines without the County having a decision on it. <br /> <br />Representative Poppell <br /> stated, “This is a great example of why we don’t need to be in a <br />reactionary mode every time society or someone comes up with a problem or concern with an <br />issue.” He felt decisions that will affect our lives in the future should be thought out carefully. He <br />is cautious when it comes to the 3% cap, portability, and homestead because he knows “they will <br />bite us”. He felt the “Save Our Homes” program is working exactly the way it was designed to <br />work. <br />Commissioner Voltz <br /> felt it was difficult for elected officials to get the message across as <br />to what really is going to happen should the homestead exemption go up. <br />October 25, 2006 <br />6 <br /> <br />Joint Workshop / Brevard <br /> <br />
