MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird to increase <br />the Medical Examiner's budget by the $19,000 <br />requested, reflecting a total budget for this <br />fiscal year of $69,000 with the additional funds <br />to come from the Reserve for Contingency per <br />budget amendment prepared by the OMB Director. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock suggested that the Motion contain the <br />provision that Dr. Walker has no authority to expend funds above <br />that level until he gets prior permission from this Commission. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed to add that provision to <br />his Motion, and the Motion with that addition was <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke. <br />Discussion continued at length re the additional $10,000 <br />which resulted from the changes made by Dr. Walker, and Dr. <br />Walker stated that another possibility would be for his office to <br />do autopsies up here if they could. <br />Administrator Wright pointed out that Dr. Walker would make <br />less money if we weren't in the district and felt he also would <br />lose money if the two other doctors did the autopsies, which he <br />believed had an influence on him when he terminated his relation- <br />ship with Rogers and Cox. <br />Dr. Walker contended that had absolutely no influence on <br />that action. If those doctors had gone along with contents in <br />the letter he sent them, he would be happy to bring them on <br />board; actually he did not fire them, they quit. <br />Administrator Wright noted that it is possible those <br />requirements weren't tenable just the same as with Dr. Walker and <br />the Junior College. <br />82 <br />AUG 211985 <br />BOOK 1 FAGS. 8 7 9 <br />
