OMB Director Baird asked if the Board wished to deny the <br />request pending receipt of further backup and information. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if this isn't all accountable and <br />whether Dr. Walker doesn't have to submit books at the end of the <br />year for final audit. <br />OMB Director Baird advised that we are on contract with him <br />and just give him a draw. Possibly the state would audit him. <br />It was his opinion, since the doctor is requesting public money, <br />that he has to present his case to the Board in a form adequate <br />to satisfy them. <br />Chairman Scurlock cited the following: "District Medical <br />Examiners and Associate Medical Examiners shall be entitled to <br />compensation at such reasonable salary and fees as are <br />established by the Board of County Commissioners in the <br />respective districts." He noted that this, however, doesn't <br />give parameters for what you do if you don't agree. He believed <br />we need some legal research about what our position is and what <br />steps we take. <br />Attorney Vitunac noted we approved the budget at the begin- <br />ning of the year, and this is a request for a budget amendment. <br />He believed Dr. Walker stated in Tampa that he has the data in <br />the form the Board wanted and we just want to ask for more <br />information to consider it later. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed <br />to request that Dr. Walker convey additional infor- <br />mation to the Board so we will be able to reach <br />an intelligent decision on his request and also <br />emphasize that we expect all appropriate required <br />testing to be done. <br />59 <br />MAY 5 1907 <br />BOOK 68 <br />
