Commissioner Bird asked if the "wish list" was being dropped, <br />and inquired about the Hibiscus House. Director Baird responded <br />that he was not comfortable with their accounting and had spoken <br />with them. Commissioner Bird suggested the Board could address <br />that in the future if their accounting improved. <br />Commissioner Adams commented on the loss of Soil and Water <br />Conservation to Ft. Pierce, and Chairman Macht felt that while he <br />hated to see it moved, it was best that they consolidate since they <br />had all their resources in one spot and it didn't make sense to <br />fragment. <br />Chairman Macht summarized that the Board had reached CONSENSUS <br />and that staff was on the right track, although none of the <br />recommendations were absolute between now and actual budget time, <br />and additional cuts could be made or maybe an unexpected windfall <br />might occur. <br />The Preliminary Budget Hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, <br />September 6th, at 5:01 PM. <br />The Board decided to proceed with a brief caucus in the County <br />Attorneys office. <br />Although the rest of the Commissioners had left the Chambers, <br />Chairman Macht recognized Clerk of the Circuit Court Jeff Barton <br />who was present and prepared to address the Board concerning the <br />question that had arisen earlier concerning the Investment Advisory <br />Committee. <br />Clerk Barton explained his role in the passage of the new law, <br />its requirements, and the status of the new committee. <br />Chairman Macht thanked him for the information because he was <br />unaware of the law and the existence of the committee. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded <br />and carried, the Board adjourned at 11:47 a.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />J.
