Telephone: (772)226-1945 April 30, 2015 Honorable Wesley Davis,Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and Indian River County Board of County Commissioners 1801 27th Street Vero Beach,FL 32960 Dear Chairman Davis and County Commissioners: Attached please find our budget in the amount of $921,370. This budget represents a 5.09% decrease over the previous fiscal year budget of$970,779 and a FTE decrease of 1.44. This budget reflects a reorganization in staff duties in order to keep pace with changes from the State and new accounting principles. As mentioned in the previous fiscal year, we requested a one-time, full year replacement supervisory position for the 14-15 year. This position was filled and the current department supervisor will be retiring in the first quarter of 2016. She is included in the 15-16 FTE budget as .33. Attached are the Clerk's budget summary comparison and proposed salaries by position title. Although mandated by the State courts to replace our IT hardware and software and pay annual maintenance, we did not request funding from the Board. We continue to fund the courthouse IT Department and upgrades of new hardware and software for e-filing and redaction from recording fees in the various special revenue funds. These funds have significantly depleted over the past two years and we may find the need to request financial assistance in the upcoming years. Should you or any member of the Board have any questions regarding my proposed budget,please let me know. Sincerely, 111111111 i --0 _ I , .. / • i ( 'i :, R. mith, CPA, CGFO, CGMAI , lerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller . cc:Joe Baird, County Administrator Jason Brown,Budget Director Diane Bernardo, CPA,Finance Director 5
