PLAY 5 1987 <br />BOOK 68 ME 266 <br />future indebtedness to our office by your county as <br />contracted for in the July 1986 budget hearing. <br />Our office would also like to notify you that at the present <br />time we do not intend to submit a budget request for fiscal <br />year 1987/88. Instead, the Medical Examiner's Office will <br />operate on a fee for service basis during that fiscal year <br />due to a transition in administrations. <br />If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate <br />to contact me, anytime. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jon M. Pellett <br />Executive Director <br />Chairman Scurlock noted this is a two part request - the <br />first would require a $41,000 budget transfer from Board <br />contingencies, and then we need authorization for the Medical <br />Examiner's Selection Committee to underwrite legitimate interview <br />costs for medical examiner candidates. The total estimated <br />cost is $3,000, and Indian River County would pay a proportional <br />share of the $3,000. He asked that the Board deal with the <br />second request first. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the payment of our proportionate share of the $3,000 <br />anticipated expenses of the Medical Examiners Selection <br />Committee; funds to come from General Fund <br />Contingency. <br />The Board then discussed the request to review and adjust <br />the Medicat Examiner's budget for FY 1986/87 up to his original <br />request of $121,004. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted we chose to fund him to the levet of <br />$80,000, or $1.00 per capita, which is basically in tine with <br />state standards. Apparently, however, Dr. Walker has been <br />spending at a higher rate than that. He asked if there is any <br />specific request as to what the funds were for. <br />56 <br />
