Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final <br />July 9, 2025 <br />Lastly, the proposed budget for Water and Sewer impact fees was also presented. <br />The budget for water impact fees was $876,256, reflecting a decrease of $320,744. <br />This decrease was due to the fact that this was the first year the impact fees had been <br />separated into two funds, necessitating adjustments to match actual expenses. <br />Similarly, the proposed budget for sewer impact fees was $1,109,807, showing a <br />significant decrease of 29.6%. <br />17. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS <br />501 FLEET MANAGEMENT <br />502 <br />RISK MANAGEMENT (SELF INSURANCE) <br />504 <br />EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE <br />505-103 <br />IT - GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS <br />505-241 <br />IT - INFORMATION SYSTEMS & TELECOMMUNICATIONS <br />25-0734 <br />Attachments: Internal Services <br />County Administrator Titkanich presented the proposed budget for the Internal <br />Service Fund, highlighting several key areas. The budget for Fleet Management was <br />set at $4,656,014, reflecting a 1.6% increase primarily due to rising costs for <br />subcontracted repairs that could not be performed in-house. <br />The proposed budget for Risk Management/Self Insurance totaled $10,381,272, <br />representing an 8.5% increase. For the Employee Health Insurance Fund, the <br />proposed budget totaled $35,202,730, representing a $1,719,082 increase, or 5.1%. <br />This increase was largely attributed to the rising costs of pharmaceuticals, particularly <br />those related to GLP-1 medications. Furthermore, a proposal was made to allocate <br />an additional position in this budget for the upcoming fiscal year. <br />Lastly, the proposed budget for Information Technology was $7,158,169, indicating <br />an increase of $931,668, or 15%. This rise was linked to additional software and <br />hardware expenses expected in the forthcoming fiscal year. Florida's Cybersecurity <br />Grant could mitigate some of these costs, and was projected to contribute <br />approximately $450,000, although this amount was subject to variability based on <br />vendor negotiations. Administrator Titkanich expressed satisfaction that the <br />consultants had secured this grant during a leadership transition. <br />Clerk's note: Chairman Flescher paused the Budget workshop for the 1: 30 p.m. <br />Special Call Meeting to discuss the Special Assessment Resolution for the Solid <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 24 <br />
