• Kristine Sarkauskas , CEO & President, Mental Health Association, 242 Del Monte Rd . , <br /> Sebastian <br /> Eric Wheeler, President, Veteran ' s Council <br /> Karen Diegel, CEO , Senior Resource Association <br /> Administrator Baird believed that the issues which had surfaced during the budget <br /> presentation could be resolved without changing the proposed total budget. He recapped that the <br /> Sheriff had an additional $ 59 , 507 in FRS savings over the $ 1 , 550 , 000 original figure, for a total <br /> of $ 1 , 609 , 507 ; the Human Services Budget would have $73 ,093 returned to it ; and the <br /> Supervisor of Elections will be receiving half of her requested increase of $ 59 ,909 . He <br /> suggested the Board take the proposed net increase out of General Fund Contingencies, with no <br /> other budgetary changes . <br /> Chairman Solari reminded Administrator Baird that New Horizons had also requested <br /> that $ 15 , 166 be returned to their budget. <br /> There was a consensus among Commissioners Flescher, Davis , and O ' Bryan, to reinstate <br /> the $ 15 , 166 to New Horizons . <br /> Chairman Solari opined that although it was painful, the 5 % cuts to Children ' s Services <br /> and New Horizons were necessary to balance the budget. He supported the Supervisor of <br /> Elections ' budget request for this fiscal year, but asserted that this year ' s fiscal plan, containing <br /> the additional expenses, would not become the baseline comparison for future elections office <br /> budgets . <br /> Commissioners O ' Bryan and Flescher reiterated their support for adding $ 35 ,000 to <br /> Children' s Services ; however, there was no Board consensus to do so . <br /> Administrator Baird sought and received confirmation from the Board that the FRS <br /> savings from this fiscal year could be included in the total budget. <br /> July 13 , 2011 21 14 1 PG 15 9 <br />
