APR 16 1989 BOOK 76 FACE 613 Commissioner Scurlock believed that most of those are among the highest per capita expenditure in the State of Florida. In fact, Monroe County is the highest in the State of Florida with about $313 per capita, and we are at about $206 per capita expenditure. Commissioner Eggert wished to know if the Sheriff has a writeup available setting out the standards that have to be met to get accreditation. Major Raymond believed Sergeant Getchell can explain this to the Board. Sergeant Gary Getchell advised that basically they provide you with 944 standards, and it is up to the Sheriff's office within an 18 month to 2 year period to go through these standards and see if they are in compliance with them. If not, it is up to them to get to that point, whether it be by written directives, reorganization of certain areas, etc. Commissioner Scurlock stated that he would like to see a list of these 900 standards before making a decision, and Chairman Wheeler expressed interest in seeing the twelve minute video tape mentioned in the Sheriff's letter. Commissioner Scurlock also had questions about the actual cost. He believed the City of Vero Beach is going through this process, and they have projected a cost of $60,000. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that while the fee is $14,500, you must also figure the cost of committing your personnel to work on this for over two years. Commissioner Bird indicated that he also would like to have more clarification on this whole process. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled further discussion on the Sheriff's request for two weeks so the Board can review a list of the standards and have an opportunity to see the video tape. 24
