COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THAT THE CASE OF THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AS THE COUNTY HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN THE EQUIPMENT IN INDIAN RIVER SHORES. HE NOTED THAT BY PUTTING $52,810 IN MUNICIPAL SERVICES, WE ARE SAYING THAT THAT AMOUNT IS WHAT THE VALUE OF THE STATION IS TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS ALONE, AND HE DIDNIT FEEL THAT WAS CORRECT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT A PORTION OF THAT COULD BE INVENTORIED WITH THE GENERAL FUND WHERE WE SHIFT A PORTION OF THIS INTO THE GENERAL FUND TO MAKE IT AN OBLIGATION TO ALL CITIZENS, HE THEN SUGGESTED REDUCING THE BUDGET OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES MUNICIPAL SERVICE FUND TO $10,000 AND SHIFTING $42,810 TO THE GENERAL FUND AND REDUCING A FEW CATEGORIES IN THE GENERAL FUND AS AN OFFSET OF THAT $42,8100 CHAIRMAN WODTKE REITERATED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, THE ADJUSTMENT IN THE GENERAL FUND WOULD NOT EFFECT THE MILLAGE OR THE TOTAL BUDGET. FINANCE OFFICER BARTON REPORTED THAT THEY WOULD BE RE- DUCING TWO LINE ITEMS AND INCREASING ONE LINE ITEM BY THE SAME AMOUNT OF DOLLARS, SO THE BUDGET STAYS THE SAME, HE CONTINUED THAT IT WOULD REDUCE MUNICIPAL SERVICES BY $42,810, AND WE WOULD NEED $364,949 FOR FIRE SERVICE, RATHER THAN THE $407,759 FOR THE FIRE SERVICE, AND THIS WOULD REDUCE THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING DISTRICT MILLAGE TO .60346, COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT IF WE MAKE THIS CHANGE, WHY SHOULD WE GIVE INDIAN RIVER SHORES $50,000 AT ALL? COMMISSIONER SIEBERT EXPLAINED THAT WE SHOULD BECAUSE EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTY HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN THE EQUIP- MENT; AND THE EQUIPMENT MAY NOT ALWAYS STAY AT THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THAT THE TWO LARGE PIECES OF EQUIP- MENT, THE LADDER TRUCK AND THE PUMPER, ARE GOING TO BE USED MORE IN THE CITY OF VERO BEACH THAN IN INDIAN RIVER SHORES. HE CON- TINUED THAT HE FELT THOSE DOLLARS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY EVERYONE. SEP 2 71979 23 euoK 4. SAGE 613
