BOOP( 106- F417 <br />Administrator Chandler explained there were two different actions requested today <br />and a clarification of another matter under this item. First would be to consider approving <br />the tentative millage rates for TRIM (Truth in Millage) purposes and for consideration at the <br />September budget/public hearings. Second would be consideration of the recommendations <br />of the Emergency Services District Advisory Committee as submitted, and, third, going <br />forward with the design of Station 11 proposed for the north barrier island on CR 510, with <br />funding from the Optional Sales Tax. Those three recommendations are consistent with the <br />budget and would involve no change in the budget or millage rates. <br />Administrator Chandler wanted to clarify that the cap for the Emergency Services <br />District is 3.5 mills, not 3 mills as referred to in recent months and years. He was not sure <br />when or how it had become referred to as 3 mills, but in recent research it is very clear that <br />the cap is 3.5 mills. This information provides more flexibility for future years, but does not <br />obviate the need, at least from a staff perspective, to come back to the Board, in this <br />upcoming budget year and prior to the next budget year, with a more financially feasible <br />plan for implementation of all the needs of the District. <br />In looking at the second ESDAC motion, Commissioner Eggert pointed out that "and <br />new equipment" should be eliminated from the motion, since the ambulance will be equipped <br />with medical supplies. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously extended the <br />construction of a Fire/EMS station on the Grand Harbor site to <br />December 11, 1998. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the <br />relocation of an ambulance with medical supplies to Sebastian. <br />July 28, 1998 <br />
