Raard of Couaty Oommiasiarars o Indian "warYlorida • •_ ' Sept. 141977. ,. .. County. . i S,C e s ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT THE BOARD REVIEW THE MILLAGC PRIOR TO APPROVING THE BUDGET. CHAIRMAN WODTKE REQUESTED FINANCE DIRECTOR .JACKSON TO MAKE A BRIEF STATEMENT AS TO THE FUNDS THE COUNTY WORKS UNDER AND THE IN— CREASE IN MILLAGE, FINANCE OFFICER .JACKSON STATED THAT BOARDS OF COUNTY COMMIS— SIONERS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA HAVE THREE OPERATING FUNDS — THE GENERAL FUND PERTAINING TO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTY: THE ROAD & BRIDGE FUND PERTAINING TO THE ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM: AND THE FINE & FORFEITURE FUND PERTAINING TO THE COURT SYSTEM. HE CONTINUED THAT THE RESERVES IN THE GENERAL FUND HAVE BEEN DEPLETED OVER THE PAST FISCAL YEAR TO THE EXTENT OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS, AND THE BOARD HAS FOUND IT NECESSARY TO RECOVER THOSE RESERVES TO THE EXTENT OF $734,000. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TAX INCREASE OF THAT AMOUNT, AND THE MILLAGE WILL BE INCREASED FROM 4,3092 FOR LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR'S 4.9633, OR AN INCREASE OF .6541. MR. JACKSON EX— PLAINED THAT THE M CREASE TRANSLATES INTO A 65� INCREASE FOR EVERY THOUSAND DOLLARS VALUATION. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. PHILLIP RODDENBERRY ASKED THAT THE 18% INCREASE BE EXPLAINED; NOTING THAT HE HAD THOUGHT THE ASSESSED INCREASE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ANY TAX INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR. CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPLAINED THAT THE 187 INCREASE IS ONLY ON THIS BOARD'S BUDGET, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUCH TAXING AGENCIES AS THE HOSPITAL,THE SCHOOLS OR MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT. THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S BUDGET IS UP ACTUALLY 15% INSTEAD OF 18% AS ADVERTISED, AND THIS WILL INCREASE THE MILLAGE FROM 4,3 TO 4.9. FINANCE OFFICER .JACKSON NOTED THAT OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS THE MILLAGE HAS NOT INCREASED AND, IN FACT, HAS GONE DOWN. 4 SEP 2 61977 31 RUSSELL KUCHENBROD OF 5715 38TH PLACE ASKED IF THE INCREASE IN MILLAGE IS GOING TO PROVIDE ANY NEW SERVICES OR IS JUST DUE TO THE INCREASED COST OF THE SAME SERVICES. CHAIRMAN WODKTE INFORMED HIM THAT THE COUNTY IS ESTABLISHING A NEW ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICE. HE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY IS ALSO IN- VOLVED IN SETTING UP ANEW LANDFILL, BUT BASICALLY THE INCREASE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET CAME ABOUT BECAUSE THE BOARD, IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP TAXES DOWN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, HAS GONE TOO DEEPLY INTO RESERVES AND THEY MUST BE REPLENISHED. ANNE ROBINSON OF 3008 NASSAU DRIVE EXPRESSED APPRECIATION OF THE EFFORTS OF THE BOARD IN FORMULATING THE BUDGET AND COMPLIMENTED THEM ON THE JOB THEY HAD DONE. COMMISSIONER Loy MADE A RECOMMENDATION WHICH SHE EXPLAINED IS MAINLY FOR BOOKKEEPING PURPOSES. SHE NOTED THAT AT THE TIME THE BOARD DECIDED TO PROVIDE THE FUNDS FOR ANIMAL CONTROL, THEIR IDEA WAS TO CONTRACT WITH THE SHERIFF AND HAVE HIM COMPLETELY HANDLE THE PROGRAM, AND IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE BUDGET AND BE ABLE TO..ADVER- TISE, A SUM OF $20,000 WAS SET ASIDE IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR THAT PURPOSE. COMMISSIONER Loy CONTINUED THAT SINCE THAT TIME THE SHERIFF HAS SUBMITTED A BUDGET WHICH HE FEELS HE CAN OPERATE UNDER WITHIN HIS DEPARTMENT TO ENTIRELY MANAGE AND OPERATE THIS PROGRAM, AND IT COMES TO A LITTLE OVER $14,000. COMMISSIONER Loy SUGGESTED THAT WE, THERE- FORE, DECREASE OUR BUDGET $14,500 AND INCREASE THE FINE & FORFEITURE FUND THE.SAME AMOUNT AS SHE FEELS IT WILL BE EASIER FOR THE. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO ADMINISTER THAT WAY. THE BOARD AGREED WITH COMMISSIONER LOY'S RECOMMENDATION. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER COMMENTED THAT HE IS SORRY TO SEE ANY TAX INCREASE, BUT THE DEPLETION OF THE RESERVES MAKES IT NECESSARY. HE NOTED THAT WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING AT A REDUCED RATE, AND IT CAUGHT UP WITH US . ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMIGSIONE?
