Present were Chairman Thomas S. Lowther, Vice Chairman Arthur R. Neuberger, Commissioners Sandra L. Bowden and Gary C. Wheeler. Commissioner Wesley S. Davis arrived at 5:10 p.m. Also present were Administrator Joseph A. Baird, County Attorney William G. Collins II, Executive Aide to the Board Kimberly Massung, Management & Budget Director Jason E. Brown, and Deputy Clerk Patricia Ridgely. 1. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Lowther called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. 2. INVOCATION Planning Director Stan Boling delivered the Invocation. 3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Vice Chairman Neuberger led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 4. BUDGET OVERVIEW County Administrator Baird presented a brief overview of the budget for FY 2005-2006. The proposed budget totals $324,455,156; it is approximately $36 million less than SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 1 last year’s budget but the difference is misleading since last year’s budget was inflated due to costs related to Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. The new budget asks for 104 new positions of which there are 71 for Constitutional Officers (70 to staff the new Jail) and 33 for the Board of County Commissioners. There will be no increase in Utilities fees, Building Department fees, or Shooting Range fees. The Golf Course rates will increase approximately $2 a round and Solid Waste rates will decrease. The proposed General Fund millage is 3.5204 and is 10.5% above rollback and 2.8% below the current year’s millage. The TRIM (truth in millage) notices included a new, approved-by-the-voters, bond issue but the issuance of the bonds has been removed from the proposed budget, and staff will be proposing that next year. Thus everyone’s tax will be lower than indicated on their TRIM notice. 5. AD VALOREM FUNDS A.AVMAVB D ALOREM ILLAGE AND D ALOREM UDGET 1.
