BOOK 109 PAGE 5 79 <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />of County Commissioners <br />DATE: June 16, 1999 <br />SUBJECT: MISCELLANEOUS BUDGET AMENDMENT 019 <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />THROUGH: Joseph A. Baird <br />OMB Director <br />FROM: Jason E. Brown <br />Budget Analyst <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The attached budget amendment is to appropriate funding for the following: <br />1. Due to changes in claims guidelines, the County has experienced a large increase in <br />medicaid claims this year. The current amount budgeted will not cover the expected <br />claims for the rest of the fiscal year. Funding will be provided by the General Fund cash <br />forward revenues. <br />2. Road and Bridge has various equipment that needs immediate replacement. The <br />department's track excavator has failed, and they are currently leasing an excavator in <br />order to continue some operations. Two of the oldest dump trucks are in poor <br />mechanical condition and need costly repairs. These vehicles were scheduled for <br />replacement next year, so it will cost less to replace them now. The attached entry <br />appropriates funding from the Transportation Fund cash forward revenues. <br />3. On March 16, 1999, the Board of Commissioners approved a grant agreement with the <br />Florida Department of Environmental Protection for construction of a reef off the <br />Sebastian inlet in the amount of $25,000. The county has also received a donation from <br />the Sebastian Inlet Sportfishing Association for $5,000 to assist in construction of the <br />reef. The attached entry appropriates funding. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached budget <br />amendment. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved Budget <br />Amendment 019, as recommended in the Memorandum. <br />JUNE 229 1999 <br />18 <br />
