BOOK M PAGE 7J8 Mrs. Nancy Richards, representing the Exchange Club, noted that this is not a request for dollars, but simply to use County property. She urged the Board to vote in favor of the request. Commissioner Adams raised several concerns such as parking spaces, fencing, crowd control, and emergency vehicle ingress and egress. She had no problem with the event but wanted details regarding the concerns and risk factors. Commissioner Ginn felt the event should be taken to Riverside Park and could not support the request. After further discussion, it was determined that a tentative approval could be given pending receipt of further information. ON MOTION by - Commissioner Adams; - SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board, by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Grin opposed) tentatively approved the Exchange Club's request for the use of the Courthouse Parking Garage for a Jazz, Blues and Swing Fest with the condition that the - Exchange Club bring back a site plan, information on capacity, control and fencing. 11.E. FLORIDA RETIREMENT SAVINGS The Board reviewed a Memorandum of June 30, 1999: TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners DATE: June 30, 1999 SUBJECT. FLORIDA RETIREMENT SAVINGS FROM: Joseph A. Baird The Florida Retirement rates were reduced effective July 1, 1999. The Board of County Commissioners had requested that staff calculate the retirement savings for the 1998/99 fiscal year and use the tax savings to offset the ad valorem -taxes in the 1999/2000 fiscal year. Based on the Commissioner's request, the Budget Office wrote the Constitutional Officers requesting they reduce their current year budget (1998/99) so the savings could be used as Cash Forward Revenue in the next fiscal year (1999/2000). A letter was not sent to the Tax Collector since he is a fee officer and receives funding based on a percentage of ad valorem tax collections under state law. JULY 69 1999
