NOV - 91993 BOOK 90 PAGE'1007 Commissioner Adams proposed that we formalize the group, and indicated that she expected this project to be completed in about 6 months. Chairman Bird cautioned that we should not do anything that would have a negative impact on the economic recovery we finally are starting to experience in this county. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DISCUSSION REGARDING NEWLY -FORMED INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE Commissioner Eggert noticed this meeting on the list of meetings for the week of November 8-12 and she expressed concern that the group is now a public committee. She understood that this group was put together with the hope of bringing forward suggestions on ways to lower taxes. She agreed that it is important to find ways to lower taxes, but she was concerned about procedures. It had been her hope that the 5 Commissioners would hold special meeting workshops, using information from staff along with their own ideas, to consider privatization and other ways to lower taxes and then bring in the constitutional officers to see how this would interact with what they are doing before going out to the municipalities. Commissioner Macht recalled that he advised the Board at the BCC meeting of October 5, 1993, that he intended to research ways to decrease taxes. He read aloud from the memo he presented to the Board at that meeting: October 4, 1993 TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSION FROM: Kenneth R. Macht, County CommissionerAM RE: Addition to Agenda, Discussion regarding Federal Mandates and Other Bugetary Matters I am sorry for the necessity to ask your indulgence in adding this item outside of the normal process. I had planned on its inclusion in early November after completing one additional study on the effect of mandates and other legislative requirements. The attached will inform you that this plan has been overtaken by events. CE � r �
