Ml 5 199 <br />BOOK 70 FACE 523 <br />Third, the County would be willing to contribute between <br />$10,000.00 to $15,000.00 for expenses for the first year of <br />operation of the Center; however, the County will not commit <br />to a specific annual appropriation at this time. Rather, <br />the County will consider an appropriation each year a <br />request is made during the County's annual review of its O&M <br />budget. <br />1 hope this clarifies the Board's position with regard to <br />the Gifford Community Center, and I am confident the efforts <br />of the School District and the County's participation as <br />outlined above will result in a facility which admirably <br />serves the community's needs. <br />Sincerely, <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />Don C. S <br />Chairman <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that he, Administrator Balczun and <br />Utilities Director Terry Pinto met with the School Board and the <br />Gifford community leaders and came to the proposal that the <br />Commission would contribute to that effort either in-kind <br />services or a dollar and cent amount up to $65,000. He explained <br />that the reason he brought this back to the Board was because <br />this was a little different than the original Motion, which was <br />$50,000 with consideration of a $10,000-$15,000 contribution each <br />budget year. He noted that there is no operating budget this <br />year as the building won't be open, and the suggestion is that <br />the total not exceed $65,000, whether it be a dollar amount or <br />in-kind services. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve a <br />contribution of $65,000 of in-kind services or cash <br />towards the Gifford Community Center. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked if the estimated <br />costs were pretty firm as far as the $50,000 utilities' <br />installation and $18,000 impact fees are concerned. <br />54 <br />
