INDIAN RIVER COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR CAROLE JEAN JORDAN, TAX COLLECTOR BUDGET AMENDMENT #1 ADDITIONAL JUSTIFICATION DETAIL FOR NEW POSITIONS & EQUIPMENT The Indian River County Tax Collector's Office is undergoing several major changes in the 2017%2018 fiscal year. We are moving our Sebastian Office to a larger building purchased by the County, renovating our West Office to include the additional services of TSA PreCheck, TWIC, and CWLA, expanding our Online Specialty Plate Program as well as introducing extended office hours at our Main Office. All of these changes will require additional staff in order to be feasible. We have been very frugal over the last nine years by keeping our employee counts as low as possible. We are now respectfully requesting an additional seven CSR/DL Examiner positions and an IT Specialist. Sebastian Office Relocation The Sebastian Office is moving to 1921 Highway US1 in Sebastian. The County purchased this building in 2017 and it is currently under renovation. The building will house several commercial businesses as well as an office for the Tax Collector, the Property Appraiser, the Clerk's Office, the Veteran's Service Office and the Utilities Department. The renovation is due to be complete by the middle of September. In the Tax Collector's section of the new building, we will be gaining four additional clerk stations as well as a larger Concealed Weapons room compared to our current office space. The County made the final decision to purchase the building because of various issues with the current rental location. This was a long-term decision by the County to better serve the residents at the north end of the county. 1 21 SEBASTIAN OFFICE TRANSACTION COUNTS 88,000 86,520 86,000 84,000 a 82,000 80,746 '�rY 0 �.
