year's budget, and he just now came back with more information and some firm figures. He further advised that last Thursday in Tallahassee, he just got the County's UHF frequencies recommended to the FCC. Chairman Scurlock wished know where this was included in the budget, and Director Wright stated that it is in the Tower budget; we did budget the money, plus we will then turn right around and have the fees coming to us the very month after we purchase the system. Chairman Scurlock noted that he had just wanted it con- firmed that we are not going into contingencies because he has made a decision that he is not voting to take any money out of contingency for the rest of the year. Commissioner Bowman inquired how much was budgeted, and Director Wright advised that they budgeted $10,400 because they were looking at a lease/purchase plan at that time. Commissioner Bird wished to know how $10,400 related to $53,000, and Director Wright explained that they had planned on a lease/purchase arrangement where they just would be making monthly payments instead of purchasing the whole system at one time, and what they budgeted was the monthly increment of payments for the year. The Chairman noted that there then is a shortfall of $43,000, and wished to know where that is going to come from. OMB Director Baird stated that it would come from contingencies, and Chairman Scurlock stressed that he cannot vote for that. He understands what staff wants to do,. but the timing is the problem. Director Wright pointed out that another consideration is that he did not know that Communications of Vero frequencies are going to continue to be available to us to use until October. They have reached a peak of overload, and also there is another matter involving some litigation. JUN 14 1988 13 eoo Fa,r
