61 �'�GE � � <br />AUG 211985 BOOK <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock noted that part of the doctor's <br />office is administrative knowledge and functioning. <br />Commissioner Bird noted we are dealing with two separate <br />things. The first deals with becoming an independent district <br />and being removed from the four-way district, and second is the <br />request before us today to make up the overrun so the medical <br />examiner can function the remainder of this fiscal year. He felt <br />these should be dealt with separately. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock wished to know if the $19,000 would <br />cover the entire remainder of the year and there would be no more <br />requests for money this fiscal year. <br />Dr. Walker did not anticipate any. <br />Commissioner Bird felt that if the OMB Director just pays <br />the bills that are being held back that alone would use up the <br />$19,000, but the OMB Director stated that he has only around <br />$1,500 in bills, but has not received a bill from Dr. Walker's <br />office for July. His estimations of the amount needed, however, <br />were closer to $16,500. <br />Dr. Walker stated he would try very hard to stay within the <br />$19,000. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock agreed more funding is needed and <br />$19,000 is a reasonable figure, but on the other hand, he could <br />not honestly feel that the attempt to regionalize the medical <br />examiner office has served as well as we thought, and he would <br />like to explore the possibility of getting Indian River County <br />carved out. <br />Administrator Wright asked if Dr. Walker would voluntarily <br />consider withdrawing from Indian River County since the Sheriff, <br />the States Attorney, etc., all would much prefer the old system. <br />Dr. Walker stated that he would not voluntarily withdraw and <br />and did not agree all the officials are unhappy with the service. <br />81 <br />- M M <br />
