I JUN 18 1980 mox 43, PAcE 808 MR. MAYER CONFIRMED THAT THEY NEVER RECEIVED -ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THEIR REQUEST FOR $1,000 WASN'T APPROVED, AND WHEN THE MONTHLY CHECK ARRIVED IN THE AMOUNT OF $83.30, THEY JUST ASSUMED THEIR REQUEST HAD BEEN APPROVED, HE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IF THERE WAS ANY REASON THEIR BUDGET REQUEST WOULDN'T BE APPROVED, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED TO APPEAR TO JUSTIFY WHY THEY SHOULD GET THE REQUESTED AMOUNT. MR. MAYER CONTINUED THAT,ON THE ASSUMPTION THEY WERE GETTING THE $1,000, THEY INSTALLED SOME AIR CONDITIONING, AND THEIR UTILITY BILLS ARE HIGHER. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MANY ORGANIZATIONS MEET IN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SUCH AS THE BOARD OF HEALTH, THE VISITING NURSE, SOECIAL SECURITY, ETC., AND THEY DO NOT HAVE FEES FOR USE OF THE CHAMBER. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER DEESON, TO APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT CHANGING THE BUDGET OF THE SEBASTIAN RIVER AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO $664.64 FOR 1979-80; THE OVERPAYMENT OF $337.00 TO BE PAID FROM CONTINGENCY FUNDS, SAID BUDGET AMENDMENT BEING AS FOLLOWS: ACCOUNT NAME ACCOUNT N0.NCI REASE DECREASE SEBASTAN RIVER CHAMBER OF �OMMERCE 004-110-515-88.22 $337.00 RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCY 004-199-513-99.91 $337.00 CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT KNOW IF THAT WOULD HELP BECAUSE THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR UTILITY BILLS. COMMISSIONER Loy WAS OF THE OPINION THAT IT IS THE BEST SOLUTION. SHE FELT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF TOO MUCH BEING LEFT UP TO THIS BOARD BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FOLLOW-UP FROM THE ORGANIZATION THAT MADE THE REQUEST. IN HER OPINION, THIS LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED FROM AN ORGANIZATION WHO ASKED FOR THREE TIMES WHAT THEY GOT BEFORE. COMMISSIONER Loy CONTINUED THAT THIS POINTS OUT THE NEED FOR SOME FOLLOW UP AT THE END OF OUR BUDGET SESSIONS TO BE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY WILL GET. FINANCE OFFICER BARTON STATED THAT THEY ARE PUTTING IN A PROCEDURE TO CONFIRM TO EVERYBODY. 72
