SEP i i "W) F -IBOOK . 84 <br />Mr. Schaefer asked if it wouldn't affect the County's <br />revenues if properties are not being assessed high enough, and <br />Chairman Bird agreed that is true, but stressed that is the <br />responsibility of the Property Appraiser. <br />Commissioner Wheeler further explained that the Board has no <br />authority over the Property Appraiser or how he does his job - <br />only the Governor does and the voters. <br />Mr. Stanley Brewer complained that 5:01 P.M. is a very <br />inappropriate time to have a Budget hearing; that it doesn't <br />allow those who work for a living time to eat and attend the <br />hearing. <br />County Attorney Vitunac pointed out to Mr. Brewer that the <br />Statutes require the meetings begin after 5:00 P.M., but these <br />meetings can and have gone on 4 or 5 hours on occasion. It is a <br />convenient time for most people, and they can eat a little early <br />or a little late. The Board doesn't get to eat dinner either, <br />and we don't want to keep people here until midnight. <br />Chairman Bird believed that historically we have had these <br />budget hearings at 5:01 P.M. for the last 10 or 11 years, and <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that last week the Budget hearing <br />went on until 9:30 P.M. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the hearing on the General Fund. <br />Attorney Vitunac informed those present that the law <br />requires that we have the first millage resolution and first <br />budget resolution read aloud in their entirety. These resolu- <br />tions are practically identical except for the millage rates and <br />budget amounts; so, after the first are read aloud, the resolu- <br />tions will be referred to only by their title and the millage and <br />budget amounts announced unless someone from the audience <br />requests that they be read in entirety. <br />Liz Forlani, Administrative Assistant to the Board, read <br />aloud in its entirety the proposed Millage Resolution for the <br />General Fund, which establishes a tax millage rate for the <br />General Fund for fiscal year 1991/92 of 4.6423 mills. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 91-105 establishing a tax millage rate <br />for the General Fund of 4.6423 mills for fiscal <br />year 1991/92. <br />8 <br />
