COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE ITEM OF COMMISSION AND FEES AND ASKED IF WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THIS AS IT IS. MR. MASON STATED THAT PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR IT, BUT HE WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE GOING TO BE CONTINUING ACTIVITIES AND IF WE ARE NOT MAKING THE PAYMENT, IT WILL GO AS PART OF THE CASH CARRYOVER MR. BARTON NOTED THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE CASH CARRY FORWARD WE WILL BE OUT BORROWING THE FOLLOWING YEAR UNTIL TAXES COME IN. IT WILL BE A CONSTANT BORROWING OPERATION UNLESS YOU START BUILDING UP A LITTLE CASH. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT IF WE DO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH INDIAN RIVER SHORES, WE WILL GET A TRUCK, BUT IT IS NOT EQUIPPED. MR. MASON POINTED OUT THAT THIS WOULD REALLY BE A BONUS BECAUSE WE ANTICIPATED SETTING UP THE INITIAL DISTRICT WITHOUT EQUIP- MENT FROM THE OUTSIDE. FINANCE OFFICER BARTON THEN DISCUSSED THE GENERAL FUND, AND STATED IT IS PRESENTED HERE WITH ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED THROUGHOUT ALL THE BUDGET HEARINGS. THE $49,000 REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE ENTERPRISE FUND IS IN HERE AS A REVENUE SOURCE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMETHING COMBINED ON THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR CURRENT AD VALOREM TAX. MR. BARTON EXPLAINED THAT WHAT THEY BASICALLY HAVE DONE IS MERGED THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT,AND IT WILL BE ASSESSED AS PART OF THE GENERAL FUND MILLAGE RATHER THAN SEPARATELY. THEY ARE MERELY A DEPARTMENT IN THE GENERAL FUND, AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS TO THEM OF 1/12 OF THEIR BUDGET. YOU HAVE TO ADD THE TWO FIGURES TOGETHER FROM LAST YEAR'S MILLAGE. LAST YEAR'S MILLAGE FOR THE TWO WAS APPROXIMATELY 3.79 MILLS. WHEN YOU ADD THE TWO TOGETHER, THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED MILLAGE TO FUND AS IT STANDS WILL BE 3.30239, WHICH IS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR'S. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE FIGURES FOR THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND NOTED THAT IT IS CONSIDERABLY UNDER THE RECEIPTS PROJECTED AUG 2 71980 57 BOOK 44 PAGE 404
