<br /> Administrator Baird explained that the County had eight (8) agencies requesting, but only <br />4 of them received funds. The funding recommendation for this agency would be a 48% <br />increase over last year. <br /> Michael Hubler,Gifford Youth Activity Center <br /> , (GYAC) (Quasi-Non-Profit <br />Organization) thanked the Commission for their support and noted that they are serving four <br />times as many kids as when they opened. He suggested that the existing caps need to be <br />addressed and that future considerations be given to the services they are providing for children. <br />He noted that the demand and the need have been growing exponentially. <br /> Director Brown advised that the contract with the GYAC limits the annual increase to the <br />consumer price index (CPI) or 3% a year. He also advised they would be receiving $109,000 <br />from Children’s Services funding in addition to the $136,000 already being provided in this part <br />of the budget. <br /> <br />CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS <br /> Administrator Baird announced the following proposed budgets and briefly commented <br />and responded to questions on each, as necessary: <br /> Dodgertown Facility $307,000 <br /> Dodgertown Capital Reserve Fund $2,000,000 <br /> Shooting Range Construction $20,000 <br /> Optional One-Cent Sales Tax $52,897,480 <br /> Gifford Road Improvements $2,900,000 <br /> Homeless Assistance Center $0 <br /> Old Fellsmere School $0 <br /> <br /> Commissioner Davis suggested the LAP grant be looked at in conjunction with the bike <br />path in Fellsmere, and Administrator Baird advised staff would look at that because the County <br />has not been able to get a bid on the project for the budgeted amount. <br /> <br /> Administrator Baird advised that staff would calculate today’s changes and asked for a <br />short period of time to check them. <br /> <br />July 12, 2006 <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />
