Commissioner Wheeler wanted to see expenses broken down in a pie chart, <br />showing how much each constitutional office and the County Commission is allocated, and to <br />see it incorporated into all the unfunded mandates mentioned by Administrator Baird. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler to <br />allocate the expense whether in square footage or however <br />best it could be explained. <br />Chairman Bowden did not want to get into the Sheriff's business. Commissioner <br />Wheeler thought that everyone that uses utilities, 10% of the electricity should be theirs, and <br />wanted to see it tagged onto their respective budgets. <br />Vice Chairman Davis supported Commissioner Wheeler's suggestion that there <br />needs to be an allocation. He suggested they accept the Sheriff's recommendation but direct our <br />Administrator to come back, before the budget year ends, with some kind of breakdown based on <br />the square footage of electrical use. Chairman Bowden did not want to mandate this. <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Flescher, the Board by a 4-1 vote <br />(Commissioner O'Bryan opposed) approved: (1) <br />Alternative 1, reducing the Sheriff's 2007/2008 budget by <br />$928,739.00 and reimbursing the Sheriff for $228,155.00 <br />in expenses already expended, on condition that the <br />County Administrator return to the Board, before the end <br />of the budget year, with a breakdown on the allocation of <br />electricity in square footage; (2) Resolution 2008-009 <br />amending the fiscal year 2007-2008 budget; and (3) the <br />year-end reconciliation of budget to actual utility <br />expenses, as recommended in the memorandum of January <br />19 <br />February 5, 2008 <br />
