SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 1
4. BUDGET OVERVIEW BY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, JOSEPH A.
County Administrator Joseph Baird revealed that this year's budget was very challenging
due to the current local and national economic environments. He presented an overview of the
fiscal year 2008/2009 Budget totaling $289,650,399, a decrease of approximately $175 million,
about 37% from the prior year.
Administrator Baird listed the reasons for the budget decrease which included a
reduction in ad valorem tax revenues by $5.2 million; a decrease in the tax roll by 5.6%; decreased
sales tax by 4.9%; decreased interest income; decreased state revenue sharing by 5.5%; the
elimination of 85 full-time positions which accounted for $4.7 million; and increased fuel costs by
about $170,000. He divulged that after the millage rate was set in July, a notice was received from
the State that they were reducing sales tax and state revenue sharing by $600,000.
Administrator Baird pointed out that the new County requirement for health insurance
had increased budget expenses by $2.7 million; Solid Waste fees were down 5% - 7%; all ad
valorem tax rates were at rollback; and there were no proposed rate increases.
5. AD VALOREM FUNDS
A. AD VALOREM MILLAGE AND AD VALOREM BUDGET
GENERAL FUND
Administrator Baird announced that the proposed budget for the General Fund is
$82,016,250, about $2.8 million less than the prior year. The proposed millage is 3.0689, which is
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 2
6.68% below rollback; the elimination of 26 full-time positions accounted for a reduction of about
$1,368,000; and the ad valorem tax revenue is down about $2.3 million. He emphasized that
Amendment I contributed to a loss of about $2.6 million in revenue.
Chairman Bowden opened the floor to public comments. There were no speakers and the
Chairman closed the public comment period.
There were no proposed changes to the budget.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by
Vice Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously approved the
millage rate of 3.0689, and approved Resolution 2008-124,
establishing the tax millage rate to be levied upon all real
and personal taxable property in Indian River County,
Florida, for fiscal year 2008-2009 for the General Fund.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by
Vice Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously approved the
dollar amount of $82,016,250, and approved Resolution
2008-125, amending the County Budget Officer's estimates
of receipts other than taxes and of balances to be brought
forward for fiscal year 2008-2009 and adopting a final
budget for the General Fund.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 3
M.S. T. U. — (MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT)
Administrator Baird reported that the proposed millage is 1.0804, which is 9.03% below
rollback, and the proposed budget is $29,125,672, a 3.46% reduction from the prior year. He
indicated that the majority of the decrease was due to the elimination of Road and Bridge
positions. There was also a decrease in the 1/2 -cent sales tax revenue of about $680,000, 14%; and
state revenue sharing by $290,000, 16%.
Administrator Baird proposed that the Gifford Aquatic Center pool be open only "partial
year" (April through September) as a cost cutting measure.
Chairman Bowden opened the floor to public comments.
The following individuals supported keeping the Gifford pool open for more than six
months out of the year:
Rene Renzi, Waverly Place
Joe Paladin, Vero Beach
Fred Mensing, 7580 1291h Street
Tom Johnson, 1700 Waterford Drive
Reverend Doctor Crystal Bujol, Gifford Community Activist
Freddie Woolfork, 4590 57th Avenue (provided the Board with a letter from Nancy
Johnson and Joan Woodhouse, requesting the pool remain open six to eight months)
Godfrey Gipson, 4136 57, Court
Pastor Henry Burson, 4545 38th
There were no opponents.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 4
Administrator Baird clarified that he, not the Recreation Director Cliff Crawford, had
made the decision to close the pool for part of the year. He pointed out that Brevard and St. Lucie
Counties leave their pools open only during the summer months, and he did not feel it was unusual
to close them during the winter months. He said that during the off-season there were about eight
people a day visiting the pool, costing the County $84,000, about $138.00 per visit.
Commissioner Flescher, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, felt
that the numbers were incorrect and believed the attendance would have been higher if the pool
had been heated.
Administrator Baird disclosed that the North County pool is different from the Gifford
pool because it is regulation size, it can host regional swimming events, and it gets more use than
the Gifford pool. He indicated that if the Board wanted to open the Gifford pool for eight months,
even though the millage had been set, he could reduce the Contingency in MSTU.
Budget Director Jason Brown clarified that prior to this year there had only been one
Recreation Department budget, not separate budgets for the Gifford Pool, North County Pool, or
Ocean Rescue. Due to requests from the Taxpayer's Association and various residents, separating
them was just accomplished this year. He said that staff divided the budget and had to guesstimate
allocations from the prior year's budget. He acknowledged that adjustments had to be made due to
over/under allocations, and he believed that since there is now a history, future numbers will be
more accurate.
Pastor Burson told the Board how Children's Services and his church had provided the
necessary funds to start the Hope Academy. He listed the services and benefits that the Academy
provides to its students, and voiced concerns over the loss of funds.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 5
Reverend Bujol wanted clarification regarding the North County pool revenues and
budgeted amounts. Director Brown explained the revenue expectations from the pool, how staff
budgeted conservatively, and how the budgeted amounts were exceeded.
Commissioner Flescher deemed it necessary that the pool be utilized for a longer season,
and be "partially open," 20 hours per week, from Tuesday through Saturday, 1:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. He believed that Mr. Staley, the Gifford Center's manager and qualified lifeguard, was
creative enough, given the proper tools and environment, to raise pool attendance.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to adjust the budget
by reducing the M.S.T.U. Fund by $21,038.00, and adding
it to the Gifford Aquatic Center operation.
Commissioner Wheeler gave the details of the nearly $4 million that is spent community-
wide on recreation. He felt the appropriate time for this to have been addressed would have been
during a workshop, not at the Final Budget Hearing. He believed that bringing this issue to the
Board now was not only inappropriate, but not fair to the other people and programs within the
County who had attended the workshops and pleaded their case for exceptions. Instead of taking
money out of the Contingency Fund, Commissioner Wheeler felt it was only fair to cut the North
County Aquatic Center by the same percentage as the Gifford pool. He suggested this be brought
up for consideration at next year's workshop.
Commissioner Flescher related that he had made several requests on what could be done
with the pool at the committee level, and said he had even discussed it with staff. He emphasized
that neither he nor the general public had any direction to appeal this.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 6
Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to know the details of the failed pool heater and the
operating costs. He viewed the pool as a "want more than a need" and felt the dollars in question
could be better used to benefit the youth within the community. He specified that if the money is
going to be put back into the budget, he would prefer it be put into necessary programs at the
Health Department or various youth services. He expressed that opening the pool during the
weekdays from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. would not address school children, since they would either
be in school or in after school programs. He felt that adding money back into the budget to run a
pool with questionable attendance would not be the best use of limited tax dollars in today's
current economic climate. He suggested the community return with a plan that shows they can
cover the expenses through private donations and other programs.
Director Brown informed Commissioner O'Bryan that there was currently a purchase
order in the amount of $7,700 to repair the pool's heater and well; and Recreation Director Cliff
Crawford detailed the operating costs for the facility.
Chairman Bowden felt it would be difficult to change this, since millage had already
been set and the budget was now in its final hearing. She did not feel that the County could afford
to make this change and was sorry that the process had been misunderstood. She gave assurance
that the North County pool and the Gifford pool were looked at equally.
Discussion ensued regarding the equity between the two pools, and cutting the entire
Recreation budget, not just the Gifford pool.
Director Brown emphasized the rationale for closing the Gifford pool, saying that instead
of keeping Mr. Staley there year around, and being tied -up with 2 kids in the pool, it would be
more cost effective for the County to have him running a recreation program with 32 kids. He
reasoned that this was not about taking something away, but redirecting the efforts into something
that would be a little more effective.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 7
Commissioner Flescher concluded that $21,038 would make a difference for the
community, and acknowledged that Mr. Staley would volunteer to be one of the lifeguards, which
would cut the cost by about $7,327, between salary and benefits. He stressed that for under
$15,000 the pool could remain open for four hours, Tuesday through Saturday, and that he would
be willing to negotiate with anyone having an objection.
Reverend Bujol felt that for reasons of fairness and equity, the Board should consider
Commissioner Wheeler's suggestion to cut the North County Aquatic Center by the same
percentage as the Gifford pool.
There was a brief discussion regarding qualified lifeguards donating their time toward
opening the pool
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and by a
vote of 2-3 (Chairman Bowden, Commissioners O'Bryan
and Wheeler opposed), the MOTION FAILED.
Commissioner Flescher appealed to his fellow Commissioners, wanting to try another
motion. He reiterated that if Mr. Staley (providing he was not moved to another location) is
permitted to volunteer his time as one of the two required life guards at the Gifford pool, that it
would reduce the cost factor of one lifeguard by $7,327.00.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, for discussion, to
adjust the budget by reducing the M.S.T.U. Fund by
$15,711, so the pool could remain open for the next eight
months.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 8
Chairman Bowden requested a caveat be added to specify a certain attendance be met.
Commissioner O'Bryan did not think this would be an appropriate use of Mr. Staley's
time. He rationalized that no other programs could be scheduled for the children because if one
person should visit the pool, Mr. Staley would not be able to conduct any other programs, he would
have to stay poolside.
Commissioner Wheeler said that Mr. Staley does an outstanding job and is very busy
with other programs. He did not think it was good to take him away from his other duties to stay
poolside for 20 hours a week. He reiterated that this should have been addressed at the workshop.
Commissioner Flescher explained that this issue could not be brought up during the
workshop because alternatives, options, nor numbers were available at that time.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
MOTION FAILED by a vote of 2-3, (Chairman Bowden,
Commissioners O'Bryan and Wheeler opposed).
There were no other speakers and the Chairman closed the public comment period.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner O'Bryan, by a 3-2 vote (Vice Chairman
Davis and Commissioner Flescher opposed), the Board
approved the millage rate of 1.0804, and approved
Resolution No. 2008-126, establishing the tax millage rate
to be levied upon all real and personal taxable property in
Indian River County, Florida, for fiscal year 2008/2009 for
the Indian River County General Purpose Municipal
Service Taxing Unit.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 9

Officer's estimates of receipts other than taxes and of

and adopting a final budget for the Indian River County
General Purpose Municipal Service Taxing Unit.
TRANSPORTATION FUND
Administrator Baird explained that this is not a taxing fund even though it receives 70%
of its revenues from transfers from the taxing funds. He reported that the proposed budget is
$16,306,066, about $1,245,841 less than the current year, and that it had no millage. He said that
the reduction of 12 positions resulted in a decrease of $1.4 million.
Chairman Bowden opened the floor to public comments. There were no speakers and the
Chairman closed the public comment period.
There were no changes proposed.

and adopting a final budget for the Transportation Fund.
EMERGENCY SER VICES DISTRICT
Administrator Baird relayed that this is for the fire and advanced life support (ALS)
services, which everyone in the County pays, except Indian River Shores. The proposed millage is
1.7148, which is 9.69% below rollback, and the proposed budget amount is $28,501,218, a
decrease of $5,872,499 from the current year. He explained that $4 million of the reduction was
due to the repairs, replacements, and upgrades of the Fire Stations, and also, the annualized cost of
manning Stations 6 and 11. He reported that one vacant delivery position was eliminated.
