<br /> <br />Sheriff Raymond addressed Mr. Coffey’s questions and advised that a Citizens <br />Review Committee had reviewed and endorsed his budget requests. <br />Further questions of the Sheriff included information on the Federal prisoner <br />housing possibilities and costs. <br /> <br />The Commissioners agreed to County Administrator Baird’s suggestion to <br />continue on the budget workshop agenda so they would not have to come back the next day. <br /> <br />ENTERPRISE FUNDS <br />SR <br />HOOTING ANGE <br />County Administrator Baird announced the proposed budget for the Shooting <br />Range is $380,968, a $4,194 increase over last year. <br />Commissioner Wheeler questioned the continued subsidization of the Gun Range <br />and suggested two possible solutions: 1) having the Skeet Club run it on volunteer basis, or 2) <br />give it to the State’s Fish and Wildlife. <br />County Administrator Baird advised that it was anticipated that the County would <br />have to pay for it for 3-5 years. Also, staff is looking at adding more stands for more events. <br />Permitting is a problem because it is located within the Preserve. Also, the hurricanes caused a <br />lot of damage. <br />Commissioner Davis advocated expansion for sporting clays as a critical part of <br />the shooting range. <br />Frank Coffey <br /> submitted a chart on the shooting range for their consideration and <br />commented on the shooting range’s deficits and the County’s subsidization. He suggested <br />leasing it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />July 13, 2005 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
