Nov 1991 <br />BOOK 84 F'AGE 83 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously awarded <br />Bid #92-37 for 50th Court/Old Sugar Mill Estates <br />water main extension to A.O.B. Underground in the <br />amount of $26,193.64 as the lowest, most responsive <br />and responsible bidder, and authorized the Chairman <br />to execute the agreement, as recommended by staff. <br />(AGREE EW NOW RECEIVED AND ON. FILE IN THE OFFICE <br />j OF CLERK TO THE BOARD) <br />E. Budaet Amendment 006 - Request For Additional Funds for Public <br />Defender <br />County Attorney Charles Vitunac explained that after this item <br />had been placed on the agenda, he had received a memo from St. <br />Lucie County which suggested a meeting of the four counties to <br />discuss the budgetary problems the State Attorney and Public <br />Defender are making for St. Lucie County. Indian River County had <br />this on our Consent Agenda for approval since it is required by <br />law, but if the Board agrees we can put this off for two weeks to <br />have an opportunity to meet with the other counties. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird concurred. He mentioned St. Lucie <br />County is planning to dispute this change in the law and we do not <br />have a problem with that because we keep picking up expenses <br />relating to the Public Defender and other State agencies. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked how the delay would affect the <br />ongoing functioning of the Public Defender's office since the law <br />is that we contribute based on population figures. <br />Attorney Vitunac felt since the. county with the largest <br />population is not going to pay this yet, the function of the Public <br />Defender's office will not be affected in a two-week period. <br />Administrator Chandler agreed we are responsible by law, but <br />he felt it would be beneficial to meet with the other counties. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously tabled <br />Consent Agenda Item E, Public Defender Budget <br />Amendment 006 for two weeks. <br />F. Miscellaneous Budget Amendment 004 <br />_ The Board reviewed memo from OMB Director Joe Baird dated <br />November 13, 1991: <br />k <br />
