Boor OMB Director Joe Baird recommended that everything be approved except Item #2 which he would like to bring back next week. In discussing this with Public Works Director Jim Davis, there are several alternatives we could use in funding the paving of 87th Street running through Vero Lake Estates. We are looking at the long term, and it' might be better to fund it out of another area besides the Secondary Road Trust Fund. Commissioner Scurlock felt there would have to be a policy decision at some point on how much is going to come from the Vero Lake Estates M.S.T.U. versus some other source of revenue. Director Baird explained that in this particular case, 87th is the main thoroughfare through Vero Lake Estates and recalled that a couple of years ago the Board dir_:ected Director Davis to get that street engineered and paved. The property owners will be assessed for part of it and we are looking at several other sources to pay the rest of it, i.e., gas tax money, general fund money, Vero Lake Estates M.S.T.U., impact fee money. Commissioner Scurlock cautioned Administrator Chandler to be very careful on this particular item, because in doing this we could be setting some precedents in terms of how we fund these various projects, specifically in relationship to Sebastian where they seem to have some difficulty in understanding our impact fees and what those funds can be used for. He would not like to see us develop a policy we could not live with throughout the county. Administrator Chandler appreciated that, and advised that he would be meeting with Sebastian shortly and would be bringi.ng it: back to the Board in a couple of weeks. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved Budget Amendment 098, with the deletion of Item #2, as recommended by OMB Director Baird. 10
