He suggested that we go back to <br />the State again for maintenance funding rather than just slamming <br />the door in their face. <br />COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK'S MOTION to deny the request for <br />funding of maintenance costs failed for lack of a second. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird explained that whenever the FHP <br />writes a ticket in the unincorporated area of the county, the <br />County receives a portion of that fine. He believed the <br />collections from fines are up this year from the previous two <br />years. <br />Emergency Management Director Doug Wright noted that the <br />other troop agreed to the maintenance agreement because it was <br />only for one radar unit. <br />Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that his point is not the <br />money the County takes in, it is the principle that the State <br />could at least pay for the maintenance of the radar units. <br />Commissioner Wheeler felt the bottom line is that the FHP <br />wouldn't have the benefit of using the radar units in this <br />county, particularly on 1-95 and SR -60. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled <br />the maintenance agreement with FHP and directed <br />staff to negotiate with the FHP for the State to pay <br />for the maintenance of the radar units. <br />26 <br />
