BUDGET OVERVIEW BY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, JASON E. BROWN <br />County Administrator Jason Brown provided a brief overview of the proposed <br />2019/2020 Budget. He announced that the total proposed budget was <br />$367,725,135 and went over the significant items impacting the budget. He <br />explained that there was a proposed increase in the rate for the Solid Waste <br />Disposal District (SWDD) Assessment for County -wide mandatory garbage pickup. <br />He added that the Board, at their August Board Meeting, decided not to move <br />forward with mandatory garbage pickup; therefore, the SWDD rate would be the <br />lower proposed rate of $120.90, instead of the $171.90. <br />Chairman Solari reviewed the individual Ad Valorem Funds and opened the floor <br />for public comments. <br />Linda Masterson, 106 Blue Heron Way, referred to the increase of $451,000 for <br />conservation lands in the General Fund and questioned what fund was it transferred <br />from originally. <br />Administrator Brown stated the $451,000 in Conservation Lands Funds was <br />transferred from the Municipal Service Taxing Funds. He determined that the <br />funds were more appropriately housed in the General Fund since all residents in the <br />County have the ability to access the Conservation Lands. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 1 <br />
