Wednesday, September 11, 1991 The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, met in Special Session at the County Commission Chambers, 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, September 11, 1991, at 5:01 o'clock P.M. Present were Richard N. Bird, Chairman; Gary C. Wheeler, Vice Chairman; Margaret C. Bowman; Carolyn K. Eggert; and Don C. Scurlock, Jr. Also present were James E. Chandler, County Administrator; Charles P. Vitunac, Attorney to the Board of County Commissioners; Joseph Baird, OMB Director; and Virginia Hargreaves, Deputy Clerk. The Chairman called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Chairman Bird announced that this is our final hearing on the budget for this coming fiscal year and asked Administrator Chandler to go over the procedure to be followed and give a briefing on the proposed budget. After reviewing the procedure to be followed whereby a hearing would be opened and closed on each fund and the public allowed to speak in regard to whichever fund they were interested in, Administrator Chandler informed those present that this is the second and final hearing to receive input on the proposed budget for fiscal year 91/92. He announced that the total proposed budget is $133,909,981 and that contains an expense increase of 2.820. Of those budgets of which ad valorem fund is a part, the aggregate millage proposed is 6.8996, and that reflects an increase of 1.360 over rollback. The Administrator continued that as we get into each of these budgets, you will find that the General Fund is below rollback, the MSTU budget is below rollback, and the South, North and West Fire Districts are above rollback. In all 3 Districts, their expenses are consis- tent with what was presented to the public and approved at the March referendum. � SEP 11X991 I
