Mr. Hensler commented that he had papers from Apalachicola, <br />which is about as big as Indian River County, that show they can <br />operate their Sheriff's office on $500,000 yearly. <br />Administrator Wright noted that he is very familiar with <br />that part of Florida; he has seen their Sheriff's office; and <br />there is a whole lot of difference between theirs and Indian <br />River County's. <br />It was determined that no one further wished to be heard. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing on the General Fund. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that if there are no proposed <br />amendments to the General Fund budget, the millage rate remains <br />the same, and he needs to read the proposed millage rate <br />resolution into the record. <br />Commissioner Lyons wished to state for the record at this <br />time that he feels strongly that the amount of money set aside <br />for the Medical Examiner may not prove to be adequate for the <br />year. He did not know how to change it, but wanted the Board to <br />understand there is every indication that we will be asked for <br />more funds; whether we have to comply or not is another matter. <br />Attorney Brandenburg reported that at the last meeting with <br />the Medical Examiner, he had promised to provide the Board with a <br />new breakdown on his budget prior to this meeting, but we have <br />not received it. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if Dr. Walker was present in the <br />audience, and he was not. The Chairman then stated that he <br />wished to make it clear for the record that it was suggested to <br />Dr. Walker that he attend this meeting and present those figures, <br />but Dr. Walker is not present nor has he submitted the requested <br />figures. <br />7 <br />EP 26 19® BOOK 59 F',;F 506 <br />
