BOOK 94 PAGE 61 3 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams to take the <br />additional $45,000 for this year out of the contingency. <br />MOTION DIED for lack of a second. <br />Commissioner Eggert wanted to know how much was left in <br />contingency and Director Baird advised that the contingency, due to <br />the jail, was getting down to very low levels and this would be <br />paid out of the general fund. He suggested that we start looking <br />at other ways of paying for these services like having the cities <br />pay their share. He also pointed out that all the non -profits have <br />been in to see him, Council on Aging, Fellsmere Ambulance, Humane <br />Society, because they're all in the same predicament and having to <br />cut expenses out of their budgets. <br />Commissioner Eggert thought what she was hearing was that <br />taking $45,000 out of the budget right now was a very difficult <br />thing for them to do, as much as they sympathized, especially when <br />we did not know what was going to happen the rest of the year. <br />Administrator Chandler thought another thing needed to be <br />cleared up; that the $45,000 would be in addition to the $14,000 if <br />we achieve that. <br />Administrator Chandler explained that on the dog tag revenues, <br />they would get everything in excess of the $13,000 and it was <br />projected that $14,000 would be their portion. <br />Mr. Radabaugh pointed out that it cost them money to issue <br />licenses; they get $1 for each, but it also costs them for labor, <br />etc., and the amount of money projected, $14,000, would just about <br />pay for the cost to do paperwork. <br />Ms. Carlson interjected they need to have a commitment for the <br />basic service. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams to <br />continue funding $30/animal for this fiscal <br />year and that we commit to $35/animal for next <br />year. <br />Commissioner Bird asked what that was in dollars for this <br />year, and Administrator Chandler estimated an additional $45,000 <br />for the balance of this fiscal year. <br />Commissioner Tippin asked when the additional funding would <br />begin, and Commissioner Adams said April 1. <br />Chairman Macht asked if her motion was staff's recommendation <br />and Commissioner Adams said it was not. <br />March 14, 1995 <br />
