$500.00 per year in cost. He did not think the Board could convince the governor that a $500.00 <br />mandate is reason to veto this Bill. <br />Mr. Nolte responded to questions from Commissioner Wheeler regarding his <br />assessment that it would only cost an additional $500.00 for attorney's fees. Commissioner <br />Wheeler thought it would be more than that, and recognized that this was another unfunded <br />mandate. Mr. Nolte did not think sending a resolution would do any good as Commissioner <br />Wheeler thought. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Chairman Bowden, to send a resolution <br />asking the Governor to veto this Bill, outlining the <br />difficulty of the County having to provide funding for this <br />new mandate, and voicing opposition to the unfunded <br />mandate. <br />The Board contemplated the need for new counsel when one was already in place. <br />Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal agreed with Commissioner Wheeler that <br />there would be increased attorney's costs, which he explained. He informed the Board that the <br />Florida Association of Counties is looking at this Bill from a Constitutional standpoint; there has <br />been talk about challenging the Bill; and it would cost us nothing additional, as that would be <br />done out of funds that we pay to the Association. <br />Mr. Nolte did not necessarily think the attorney has to be involved in anything <br />other than being at the Board meeting. He responded to questions from the Board regarding <br />Special Masters salaries for this year. <br />11 <br />May 13, 2008 <br />
