Emergency services District County Administrator Jim Chandler announced that this is the first time the Emergency Services District goes into effect, as approved by referendum in March of 1990. The proposed millage is 2.2851. Since this is a new district, it is not related to a rolled -back rate. However, if it were, it would be .2740 above the rolled -back rate. On a comparative basis with ALS and the fire districts for next fiscal year, this is $745,376 above the current budget. In trying to keep all expenses at or below current levels some expenses were deferred: 9 full-time positions which were budgeted and were not filled will not be recommended for FY 1992/93; 5 part-time positions were eliminated; and a Hazardous Materials vehicle with associated costs was eliminated. Administrator Chandler stated that he recommended including in the funding two ambulances, and we have funded our commitments on the fire contract. The total proposed budget for FY 1992/93 is $11,127,068. The Chairman opened the public -hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. Commissioner Scurlock led discussion on the millage value, and Administrator Chandler explained that the value of one mill in the Emergency Services District is $4,394,900 because Indian River Shores is excluded not only in terms of services but also in terms of tax base in calculating the millage.
