A reduction of $7,020 in the Emergency Services District <br />based on a decrease in the percentages for fire <br />fighters' retirement rates. <br />... Also under the ESD budget, there is a net.reduction of <br />$20,000 because Grand Harbor has agreed to a year's extension <br />in their agreement with the County which calls for the <br />construction of a fire station. <br />... A 2% general increase in salaries for County employees to <br />begin January 1, 1994 rather than October 1, 1993 amounts to <br />a reduction of $80,617. <br />Administrator Chandler emphasized that is a very quick summary <br />of the further reductions. The total reduction in tax budgets from <br />the first public hearing is $1,126,117. Added to that is a $30,000 <br />cut that had been made just before the meeting began, which in <br />essence brings the total budget difference on the expense side of <br />the ledger in our tax budgets to $1,156,117. The constitutional <br />officers cooperated with the request for further cuts and the Clerk <br />has reduced his budget in excess of what was asked. Originally, <br />the reduction was $60,000, but he has agreed to a cut of $100,000. <br />Sheriff Wheeler has made a further reduction of $582,615 and wishes <br />to come before the Board to explain that reduction. <br />Sheriff Gary Wheeler advised that he attended last week's <br />meeting and certainly could understand the Board's position in <br />requesting further budget reductions. He wished to read into the <br />record the following letter which he felt clearly explains what he <br />has attempted to do with regard to reducing his budget: <br />7 <br />Boa U� 55.4 <br />L_SEP 151993+. <br />
