Administrator Brown provided <br />information on discussions with the Teamsters Union, but could not confirm a <br />dollar amount since negotiations were still ongoing. He asked the Property <br />Appraiser about his amended budget request that was provided to the Board just <br />prior to the Workshop. Administrator Brown stated that the Property Appraiser's <br />budget is funded through various different funds, and asked if Mr. Nolte could <br />provide a breakdown in dollar amounts for the General Fund and Emergency <br />Services District funds to allow staff to adjust the budget accordingly. <br />Michael Marsh inquired about when the Sheriffs budget would be heard, and had a <br />question about the Clerk's budget. He asked the Clerk of Circuit Court and <br />Comptroller Jeffrey R. Smith about the dollar amount that was attributed to fraud <br />on his budget. It was the opinion of Attorney Dylan Reingold and the Board that <br />Mr. Marsh's comments were inappropriate and his accusations unfounded; that this <br />forum was not the appropriate place to bring that item up for discussion; and <br />directed him to the State Attorney's Office. <br />MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT (M.S.T.U.) <br />004-102 COUNTY ATTORNEY - ELECTRIC ISSUES <br />004-104 NORTH COUNTY AQUATIC CENTER <br />Indian River County Florida <br />Page 6 <br />
