INT, <br />SEP t 198 <br />BOOK 69; PAGE 30 <br />Administrator Balczun to adjust and reduce the budget by <br />approximately $200,000. He has done that, and it is reflected <br />throughout the budget this evening. In addition to that, we <br />found a mistake under the Property Appraiser's budget where their <br />computer cost was actually in there twice, and that has been <br />removed and the decrease has been reflected in this budget. The <br />aggregate millage increase over rollback millage is 21.7%. <br />The General Fund, the proposed millage is 4.871; the <br />rollback milleage is 3.9866, and the increase over rollback is <br />22.20. The proposed budget of the General Fund is $24,651,071. <br />The current year budget is $20,552,153, and the increase is <br />$4,098,918. Those adjustments reflect a decrease from the first <br />budget hearing. For example, the proposed millage last time was <br />4.9; so, <br />it <br />has gone <br />down <br />about 1110 of a mill. The rollback <br />millage <br />is <br />basically <br />the -same. <br />We need to identify specific reasons for the increase in the <br />General Fund, and the Chairman advised that he will list the <br />major items, basically those that have increases in the range of <br />$100,000. <br />State Health Department $106,871 <br />I.R.Community Health Dept. 89,335 <br />Refuse (Green Dumpsters) 112,189 <br />Parks Department 128,414 <br />(This reflects the additional maintenance on the <br />acquisitions we made under the Save Our Coast <br />Program and also the additional properties we <br />have bought for recreation and park purposes.) <br />Building Operations $200,898 <br />(This includes maintenance of this building, <br />the Courthouse, the new Sheriff's complex, the <br />new jail, and those other buildings which the <br />County maintains and operates.) <br />Property Appraiser $115,404 <br />(This figure reflects a $60,000 decrease <br />relating to the correction for the computer <br />being included twice.) <br />Sheriff's Operations $603,953 <br />(The Chairman believed Sheriff Dobeck can <br />explain this increase. Basically there is <br />a disproportionate ratio of population vs. <br />deputies to serve our community, and over <br />and over during the year, we have had requests <br />for more patrol.) <br />M <br />
