BOX 385 Vero Beach Florida PHONE 589-5969 32960 SEBASTIAN Dear Sirs or Madam: ROSELAND In reference to a letter I received from your LITTLE HOLLYWOOD finance department dated May 30th 1980. MICCO It seems theFinance Department says they made GRANT a mistake which we in the Chamber of Commerce do not understand. WABASSO We submitted a budget for the fi ra.l year 1979-1980 for $1,000 Not receiving any letter telling us it was disapproved we planned on this appropiation. Then in October 1980 our checks began coming in in the amount of $83.33 per month which led us to believe it was approved. We budgeted our year accordingly planning on this money. On May 30,1980 we received the en,:losed letter from your Finance Department stating that the Finance Department made a mistake and we were only suppose to get $ 330.00.for the year.The budget for the previous year was for $330,00. For the fiscal year 1978-1979 we received checks in the amount of $27.50 each month. We are requesting at this time to appear before the County Commission to discuss this matter. The finance Department is requesting us to return this money. Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Arthur H. Mayer ( Pres) FINANCE OFFICER BARTON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT BASICALLY THE PROBLEM AROSE IN THAT HIS OFFICE DID NOT CONFIRM THAT THE COMMISSION DID NOT GRANT THE BUDGET REQUEST AND ONLY GAVE THE SAME AMOUNT AUTHORIZED THE YEAR BEFORE, OR A TOTAL BUDGET OF $330.00, INADVERTENTLY, AN ERROR WAS MADE, AND THE FINANCE OFFICE COMPUTED THE MONTHLY DISBURSEMENTS BASED ON A TOTAL BUDGET OF $1,000.00, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE SEBASTIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BEING PAID $664,64, OR $336,64 OVER THEIR APPROVED BUDGET.
