4. BUDGET OVERVIEW BY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, JOSEPH A. <br />BAIRD <br />County Administrator Baird presented an overview of the 2007-2008 Budget. The <br />proposed budget totals $432,108,207, reflecting a decrease of $68,000,000, about 14% from the <br />prior year. He explained that the State Tax Reform required the County to reduce millage rates and <br />taxing districts by 5%, and the Emergency Services District (ESD) by 3%. He indicated that the <br />Solid Waste fees were reduced by about 5%, and that there were no increases in recreation, utility, <br />building fees, nor the golf course. Administrator Baird revealed the following savings in the new <br />Budget: staff eliminated 56 positions for a savings of $3,298,000, reduction in overtime provided <br />a savings of $604,000; and reduction in travel expenses was a savings of $128,000. <br />Administrator Baird specified that the property insurance, at $1,090,000, and health <br />insurance, at $385,000 were both increased. The cost to operate the new County Administration <br />Complex, Emergency Operations Center, and Supervisor of Elections Office was increased by <br />$235,110; and the new jail expansion was an additional $175,000. He noted that fuel costs <br />increased by $93,000, and Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) by $1,642,500. <br />Administrator Baird pointed out that not only is the tax roll 5% below rollback, but the <br />1/2 -cent sales tax revenue had decreased by about 14%, due to the economy. Also, the State <br />revenue sharing decreased by 3%, and fuel tax revenues decreased by 7%. <br />SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 2 <br />
