Director King explained that there were two (2) people per shift for a total of six (6) <br />assigned for the three shifts. There are three (3) Battalion Chiefs and only one (1) on duty per <br />shift for the entire county. He also explained that if the Battalion Chiefs were unavailable, he <br />would use a Captain who works out of rank. <br />Administrator Baird, who was approached by upset residents of the Gifford <br />community and asked not to move Station 3, decided not to move it until they built the one on <br />49th Street. <br />Chairman Wheeler wanted to see a report justifying the trailer being in Gifford or at <br />Station 3. He thought this issue should be advertised and brought back to the Board. <br />Michael Weiss asked about station repairs, and argued that the County seemed remiss <br />because it does not apply technology such as solar lighting/heating or air condition systems. He <br />felt it was a disgrace that it would cost taxpayers $25,000.00 per month for utilities for the new <br />administration buildings, when there is enough roof space for solar collectors that could be used <br />for lighting the parking lots, and to save money. He pointed out that these things should be taken <br />into consideration for future savings and less dependence on taxpayers. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan asked Mr. Weiss to bring the matter back to the Board next <br />Tuesday, July 24, 2007, under his item (Commissioner O'Bryan's matters). <br />AGGREGATE MILLAGE <br />Budget Director Jason Brown said the proposed aggregate millage is 5.1726 compared to <br />a current rate of 5.3622, a 4% decrease from current, and 4.4% below the rollback rate. <br />July 18, 2007 10 <br />
