Mark Daniels, Secretary and Treasurer of the IFF Local Firefighter and Paramedics, <br />wanted to know the fund balance for the Emergency Services District. <br />Director Brown informed him that after the anticipated projects, there would be about $7 <br />million, indicating that Station No. 9 would use about $2 million. He further explained the <br />expenses of the other fire stations, impact fees, and optional sales tax. <br />Joel Molinari, 1025 54th Avenue, voiced concern over the reductions of Non -Profit <br />Organizations, Children Services, and Community Redevelopment Agencies. He wanted <br />clarification as to why the Humane Society had not dropped dollars in their proposed budget. <br />Administrator Baird justified why the County has been paying the Humane Society to <br />provide services, feeling it to be more cost effective. He noted that the Non -Profits are <br />discretionary, and reasoned that staff decided that this year they could not afford any increases <br />due to the tax roll, interest income, and revenues all being down. <br />Mr. Molinari informed Commissioner Wheeler that he would be interested in assisting <br />him with organizing a Fire Hydrant Committee. <br />The Chairman announced that the Workshop would adjourn for lunch at 12:23 p.m., and <br />return at 1:30 p.m. The Chairman reconvened the Workshop at 1:33 p.m. with all members <br />present. <br />SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT (S.W.D.D.) <br />Administrator Baird announced the proposed budget at $11,621,986, $219,384 less than <br />last year.
