Chairman Eggert announced that the first item to be reviewed
is the aggregate millage and asked Administrator Chandler to
proceed. 4
Administrator Chandler informed those present that this is
the first of two public hearings to consider adoption of the
proposed Budget for FY 90/91 which begins October 1st. We will
go through each of the funds, and as we do, he will give a brief
overview of that fund. As relates to those funds involving
property taxes, there are certain points he needs to make in
terms of the millage rate to be in accordance with the TRIM
Notice, and they will be addressed as we get into each of the
funds. Administrator Chandler stated that overall the proposed
budget is 126.4 million and contained within that budget is an
expense increase amounting to 7.30. In a budget of that size and
diversity, there are any number of changes and increases or
decreases within the individual budgets; so, .it will be
impossible to delineate all those increases, etc. Generally
within the total budget, the major increases are related
primarily to new facilities coming on line this fiscal year,
i.e., expansion of the Jail, the new Health Department, and two
new Libraries, as well as South County Park. Also there are
increases in operating expenses and personnel associated with
those facilities. In addition there are the increases in law
enforcement, funding and salary contingencies, and increases in
health insurance. There are no changes in the user fees at this
time other than related to golf. As to property taxes, the
aggregate millage rate proposed is 7.3010, and that represents a
1% increase over the rollback rate. That aggregate millage rate
is a combination of the proposed tax rates within each of the
individual tax funds, and we will address these as we address
each individual fund.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that as he understands it, in
terms of new money available to the county from the previous
4
year, we have had approximately 5% increase due to new construc-
tion and 3.59% in assessed values.
Administrator Chandler agreed that is correct. Of that
total 8.5%, 5% is new construction, or properties coming on the
roll for the first time, and those properties where there have
been changes in assessments amount to a 3.5% increase countywise.
That is how we arrive at the rollback rate, and the aggregate is
1% above rollback.
Commissioner Scurlock clarified that some assessments have
gone up more than others. In example, he has had a few phone
calls from John's Island and The Moorings where in some cases the
assessments went up significantly, and in those particular cases,
they experienced a much higher increase than that 3.5%.
Administrator Chandler further noted that if you live in the
unincorporated area of the county and your property value did not
change, as far as the county millage is concerned, you would, in
effect, see a decrease.
Commissioner Scurlock also wished to make it clear that the
function of County government does not include the Hospital
District, the School Board, the Mosquito Control Districts, the
municipalities, etc.; all of which have separate taxing powers.
We are only talking about the part of the taxes for which we are
responsible.
GENERAL FUND
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget for the General Fund is $38,316,51. It is up 2.9 million,
and the millage proposed is 5.1512, which rate represents a 2.9%
increase above the rollback rate. There are any number of major
items accounting for the -A ncrease, and this would include the new
facilities that are coming on line this fiscal year, as he
previously mentioned. Also included are the basic operating
expenses and personnel for those facilities. Another significant
5 FOO Fr .
S F P

item is an expense associated with providing wastewater treatment
for Blue Cypress Lake Park. Also, 470 of the overall increase in
the General Fund is related to law enforcement and its needs, and
in addition, there are changes in our health insurance premiums
for the coming year.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the General
Fund, and read aloud the following letter received from
Jacqueline Goodman:

Please consider this letter acknowledgement of your tax hearing. ct/s/4o,
I own 2 and 1/2 VACANT lots in Citrus Gardens. I have received tax
increases for the past 15 years. I purchased this property in 1974 from a
deceased relatives estate.
I object to the increase as it pertains to occupants and resident owners. I
do not use grater, sewer lines nor do I drive on your streets. I do not use
your police or fire departments, nor do I feel I should support your school
system.
I feel it is wrong to be charged the same tax as levied against a family/or
person who occupies a residence/business.
I trust the proper adjustment will be made so that I am not taxed unfairly.

The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to speak in
regard to the General Fund.
Ralph Simeone, 1760 Sand Dollar Way, wished to make a few
remarks relating particularly to retired folks, most of whom have
an income that either remains static or decreases. He quoted
from an article in the PRESS JOURNAL in regard to people's income
and expressed the fear that we will see the middle income group
disappear. Mr. Simeone noted that politicians, bureaucrats,
etc., get continuous increases, and he was also a bit stunned by
the increases proposed for the County administrative staff which
range from 42% down to 70, the average being a 12% increase. Mr.
Simeone stated that inflation is running about 4/5% annually, and
he cannot see why a 5/6% increase is not enough. He noted that
the State of Florida has declared a temporary hiring moratorium,
and most workers are fighting simply to keep their jobs rather
than worry about getting an increase.
Mr. Simeone contended that there are many ways to increase
efficiency without raising salaries. He stressed that his tax
increase over a period of 5 years amounts to over $1,200 and he
cannot continue to take this. He urged the Board to go over the
budget with a fine tooth comb. He noted that everyone knows
about the Sheriff's Department and commended the Commission for
working this out. He felt the Sheriff's Department should be
made to realize it is a part of the county and that it is not an
entity unto itself. Mr. Simeone supported Commissioner Wheeler's
suggestion that a barracks type facility should be built for
prisoners. He then brought up the increase in population and
asked what this has meant in terms of the tax base.
Commissioner Scurlock answered that this particular year
8.59% is the new money generated from new assessments and new
construction, and as to whether growth funds itself, his answer
is No.
Mr. Simeone then talked about the Growth Management Act and
suggested that the County tighten up their rules and regulations
Wo 7 PQQk PAGEV7
all utilities, facilities, recreation, roads, etc. Lastly, he
would suggest that just as the federal government collects
payroll taxes through the banks, why cannot the counties have the
banks who are now collecting escrowed real estate taxes turn that
money over to the county each month and not just at the end of
the year. That money rightfully belongs to the county, and Mr.
Simeone believed that is a perfectly plausible way for the county
to increase cash flow. He personally felt the interest earned on
those escrowed funds is not legally the banks'.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that Mr. Simeone mentioned water
and sewer and advised that those are enterprise funds; they are
not tax supported. He explained how the impact fees work and
stressed that there is no subsidization of water, sewer or solid
waste disposal. Development, however, does not always fund its
share in other things.
Chairman Eggert believed part of that now will be picked up
in concurrency management.
Commissioner Scurlock wished to thank Mr. Simeone for his
comments. He noted that it is very infrequent that we have
someone like Mr. Simeone who takes the time to come in and have
some specific suggestions and positive comments.
Administrator Chandler wished to clarify one point in regard
to Mr. Simeone's comments on salaries. He stated that there is
nothing in this budget reflecting any increase of 420 or anything
of that magnitude. The funding for the annual adjustment is at a
rate of 4.50, which is applicable to all employees.
Mr. Simeone noted that he read that Attorney Vitunac's
salary is going up $5,000, Asst. County Attorney O'Brien's is
going up $14,000, and Traffic Engineer Michael Dudeck's is going
up $8,000 or 250.
Administrator Chandler explained that there are two mech-
anisms for increases. The 4.5% is applicable to all employees,
with the Firefighters excepted because we are in negotiation with
8
and make
sure that new developers are paying their fair
share
for
all utilities, facilities, recreation, roads, etc. Lastly, he
would suggest that just as the federal government collects
payroll taxes through the banks, why cannot the counties have the
banks who are now collecting escrowed real estate taxes turn that
money over to the county each month and not just at the end of
the year. That money rightfully belongs to the county, and Mr.
Simeone believed that is a perfectly plausible way for the county
to increase cash flow. He personally felt the interest earned on
those escrowed funds is not legally the banks'.

not tax supported. He explained how the impact fees work and
stressed that there is no subsidization of water, sewer or solid
waste disposal. Development, however, does not always fund its
share in other things.

comments. He noted that it is very infrequent that we have
someone like Mr. Simeone who takes the time to come in and have
some specific suggestions and positive comments.

to Mr. Simeone's comments on salaries. He stated that there is
nothing in this budget reflecting any increase of 420 or anything
of that magnitude. The funding for the annual adjustment is at a
rate of 4.50, which is applicable to all employees.
Mr. Simeone noted that he read that Attorney Vitunac's
salary is going up $5,000, Asst. County Attorney O'Brien's is
going up $14,000, and Traffic Engineer Michael Dudeck's is going
up $8,000 or 250.
Administrator Chandler explained that there are two mech-
anisms for increases. The 4.5% is applicable to all employees,
with the Firefighters excepted because we are in negotiation with
8
them. The other mechanism is the pay progression plan. In doing
a study, we found that we were one of the very few counties in
the state that did not have a step progression plan; we were
experiencing a turnover rate of about 300, which is extremely
high; and our intent was to address that turnover rate.
Mr. Simeone felt that percentages actually are just a word
game, and discussion continued at length with Administrator
Chandler explaining the grades and steps, longevity provisions,
etc.
Mr. Simeone understood then that the big raises he mentioned
are actually an adjustment to get those people where they should
be and this will straighten out in the ensuing years.
George Ireland of 35th Street did not feel the reasons given
are a satsfactory explanation for a $14,000 increase.
Administrator Chandler clarified that it is a percent on
that individual's base salary, and Attorney Vitunac explained
that Mr. O'Brien stepped into a position of an Attorney I and he
is an Attorney II. He actually got a $19,000 cut in pay when he
came to work here; so, he did not get a $14,000 raise.
Commissioner Scurlock believed that periodically we need to
look at our administrative salaries because if you continue to
get 50 of a larger number, it all gets askew.
Mr. Ireland felt that $4,000 still looks like an outlandish
increase and that expla.ins why his taxes went up 65% a year for
the preceding 5 years.
The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard
and closed the public hearing on the General Fund.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, -.the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative millage rate of 5.1512, (2.90 over roll-
back) for the General Fund for FY 1990/91.
SEP 0 51990
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $38,316,513 for the General Fund
for FY 1990/91.
GENERAL PURPOSE MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT
Administrator Chandler stated that the total proposed budget
for the General Purpose MSTU is $12.2 million, and it contains an
expense increase of $982,000. The proposed millage rate is
1.6211, which represents a 14% decrease below the rollback rate.
Essentially within this budget there are two changes that affect
the overall expense level. These consist of $85,000 to restore
the Disaster Relief Fund which we pulled down this year, and
transfers of approximately $155,000 to the General Fund and Road
6 Bridge.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the General
Purpose MSTU and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There being
none, she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved

missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $12,213,562 for the General
Purpose Municipal Service Taxing Unit for FY 1990/91.
10
TRANSPORTATION FUND
Administrator Chandler explained that the Transportation
Fund budget essentially is comprised of Road & Bridge, Public
Works, County Engineering and Traffic Engineering. It does not
have a millage, but is indirectly funded by taxes to a certain
extent through our General Fund as well as the GPMSTU. The total
proposed budget is $8,243,404, and it contains an expense
increase of $855,000 which essentially centers around two areas.
One is the need to increase our maintenance, as well as
replacement, of some of our bridges. It contains funding for an
additional crew for bridge maintenance and replacement, and
another area of increase is within our Traffic Engineering
Department, which is related to the need for increased mainte-
nance, repair and installation of traffic signals, markings and
signs. We only consider the expense level since the Transporta-
tion Fund is not funded by a direct millage allocation.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the Transporta-
tion Fund and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There being
none, she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $8,243,404 for the Transportation
Fund for FY 1990/91.
LIBRARY BONDS
Administrator Chandler announced that this is the proposed
millage levy to fund our debt service on Library construction,
and the proposed rate is..3594 mills. Voted debt service is not
tied into a rollback rate. `
Commissioner Scurlock asked about the number of years left
on the bond issue, which OMB Director Baird advised were 4,
including the 90/91 .year.
SEP 05 1990
Wo
Commissioner Scurlock inquired if we have any ability to
defease that faster.
OMB Director Baird believed we,could look into it, but
advised that we have call provisions where we would have to pay a
premium, and Attorney Vitunac explained that while you can always
defease, whether or not you can pay the bond issue off early
depends on the call provision.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the Library
Bonds and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There being none,
she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED .by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative millage rate of .3594 for the Library Bonds
for FY 1990/91.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $1,703,894 for the Library Bonds
for FY 1990/91.
SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler advised that the proposed budget of
$6.2 million contains an expense increase of approximately
$231,000, and the proposed millage rate is 1.6230, which repre-
sents an increase of 5.5% above rollback. The primary changes
are funding for replacement of a pumper and a fire rescue boat,
the addition of a fire inspector mid year, and a reserve for
salary adjustments, which adjustments are still under
negotiation.
Commissioner Scurlock wished to know if there is anything
relating to the revenue side in terms of charges for inspections,
12
and Administrator Chandler advised that we are in the process of
looking at various user fees this year.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the South
County Fire District and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
There being none, she closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative millage rate of 1.6230 (5.50 over rollback)
for the South County Fire District for FY 1990/91.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $6,166,543 for the South County
Fire District for FY 1990/91.
NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler announced that the proposed budget is
$1,033,933, and it contains an increase of approximately
$111,773. The proposed millage rate is the cap of 1 mill, the
same as the current year, and that represents a 5.2% increase
over rollback. The most significant change within this overall
budget is our effort to provide enhanced fire service in the
north portions of our county in going to a full service depart-
ment within that area. The budget provides for 3 additional
firefighters at Station #70 to begin the fiscal year and also
proposed is the addition mid year of full time personnel at
Station 20. That would be a total of 9 additional persons.
Commissioner Scurlock stressed that 1 mill will not support
this District at the new level, and we are either talking about
finding an additional funding source next year or we will be
laying off men. This problem hopefully will be addressed in the
referendum in March.

There being none, she closed the public hearing.

for the North County Fire District for FY 1990/91.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $1,033,933 for the North County
Fire District for FY 1990/91. ..
WEST COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget is $72,937, and it contains an increase of $7,054. Since
these services are provided by the North and South County Fire
Districts, these funds will.be paying for that service. The
proposed millage is .2906, or 3.90 over rollback, and the reason
for the increase is to offset the cost of those services provided
by the North and South County Districts.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the West County
Fire District and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There
being none, she closed the public hearing.

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler announced that the proposed budget is
$5.9 million, and it contains an overall increase of $640,000.
There are no individual line items that stand out; probably most
of the increase would be in the area of personnel with 3 addi-
tional proposed at the Landfill and one additional for recycling,
as well as some equipment increases and salary reserve. This
budget is funded by our assessment of WGUs (Waste Generation
Units), and there is no change in the rate of $33 per WGU for the
next fiscal year.
Commissioner Scurlock inquired about the impact caused by
the lack of mandatory collection.
Administrator Chandler advised that there is no fund
provided for mandatory collection and no income. If a decision
is made to go to mandatory collection, it would be reflected on
11
both the revenue and the expense side.
Commissioner Scurlock believed one impact would be the
expense of continuing to operate the convenience stations at a
higher level and asked if any expense was included for that.
Administrator Chandler advised that we still have the
funding for those stations as we have the current year.
Chairman Eggert opened the public hearing on the Solid Waste
Disposal District and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
George Ireland wished to know how the people we have put at
the various areas for recycling fit into the budget.
Administrator Chandler answered that they are provided both
in the current year's budget and in next year's, and these
increases are tied into the recycling efforts where we are man-
dated to reduce the overall volume going into our Landfill by 30%
by 1994. Those persons were provided to implement that effort,
and there are no overall increases in that particular area for
the next year.
Mr. Ireland wished to have mandatory collection explained,
and Administrator Chandler advised that under that concept, a
18
® � r
resident would not have the option of carrying their garbage to
the various transfer stations. They actually could do so, but
collection would be provided at their home. This concept was
discussed several weeks ago but was not accepted by the
Commission and we are now looking at other options.
Mr. Ireland wished to know if the public can vote on
mandatory collection and was informed there will be a public
hearing on this before an ordinance can be adopted.
Mr. Simeone asked if the $52.80 on the tax bill is just for
operating the Landfill, and Administrator Chandler explained that
is the disposal cost per single family home and went into detail
as to how that charge is arrived at.
Mr. Simeone did not feel that $52.80 is a fair charge for a
couple in a single family home that does not generate that much
garbage. He personally felt everything a family generates should
be weighed.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that Seattle has an experi-
mental program based on weighing everything. We looked at that
program and also the cost effectiveness of implementing it based
on the fact that we have such a low tipping fee. He noted that
in West Palm Beach their WGU rate is almost $200 a ton, and in
Key West it is over $160 per ton. We have looked at the various
alternate technologies and have found the cheapest way to go is
what we are doing.
Jerry Keen, 39 year county resident, felt that it is a shame
that in the last 3 years he has had to deal with an unfair
situation in regard to the commercial aspect of this Landfill.
He stressed that he does not mind paying his. fair share, but he
has come before the Appeals Board over the last two years and has
pointed out the inadequacies and unfairness of the commercial
rate. The square foot concept is not working, and it is time the
Board considered changing it. Mr. Keen believed that you should
be charged for
what you actually put
in the Landfill. He
also
felt the fact
that the landlord gets
the bill rather than
the

tenants
is not fair, and he urged the Board to address these
problems.
It was determined that no one .Flse wished to speak, and
Chairman Eggert closed the public hearing on the Solid Waste
Disposal District.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative assessment of $33.00 per Waste Generation
Unit for the Solid Waste Disposal District for FY
1990/91.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $5,930,146 for the Solid Waste
Disposal District for FY 1990/91.
VERO LAKE ESTATES MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget is $227,950, an overall increase of $150,000. This MSTU
was created a number of years ago to provide paving and drainage
with the Vero Lake Estates area, and it is funded on a per
parcel/acre basis. The current year's charge is $15.00 per
Parcel/Acre and the same amount is proposed for the next fiscal
year. In this coming budget year, we would anticipate paving
101st Avenue, which is approximately 1 mile, and we already have
paved 87th Street, which was 1.7 miles.
The Chairman opened the public hearing on Vero Lake Estates
MSTU and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
George Ireland informed the Board that this is where his
taxes went up 65% per year. He is curious to know what they do
with this money and approximately how many lots there are and how
many home owners are assessed for this.
20
Administrator Chandler explained that the expenses are
totally tied to paving and drainage projects, and the size of
those projects depends on the amount of funds available. About 2
years ago, we paved 87th Street and we contemplate paving 101st
Avenue, and he believed an overall drainage study has been
completed recently.
Commissioner Scurlock further explained that the original
district was formed at the request of the Property Owners
Association, and they came up with a basic concept and budget.
At one point that group actually came before the Board and wanted
to charge $100 a year per parcel/acre, but the Commission left it
at the $15 level.
OMB Director Baird advised that there are 3,980 lots in Vero
Lake Estates, and if you own a piece of property that is less
than an acre, you still pay $15.
Mr. Ireland stated that he owns 10 acres that he had hoped
to retire on some day, but there is nothing but a slough of mud
on the street his house might go on. His taxes have gone from
$100 to about $600, which is pretty astronomical because he has
seen absolutely no improvement other than on 87th Street.
Commissioner Scurlock wondered how much of the change is due
to a change in Mr. Ireland's property assessment. He noted that
Vero Lake Estates has posed a monumental problem to us for many
years. It was platted way back when no thought was given to such
things as drainage and roads. This is a very sizable area, and
the Property Owners wanted to try to begin at least some improve-
ments. There is no question that what has been paved is not
really enough, nor has enough drainage been provided, but this is
such a large area that it is practically impossible to raise the
money needed to go in and do the job right. Commissioner
Scurlock pointed out that the current zoning laws in the county
would not allow this ever to happen again; you now have to put in
the roads and the drainage, but when this came about, there was
no zoning in the county.

S E P 0 51990
Mr. Ireland stated that he doesn't mind that the roads
aren't paved, but what he does dislike is that his taxes have
gone up an average of 65% for 5 years and there is one road
paved. He did agree that the appraised value of his property has
gone up, but felt it reaches a point where there has to be a
correlation between h.is taxes and what is happening.
Administrator Chandler noted that unless Mr. Ireland's
assessed value went up more than the average countywide, he
should not experience an increase in the next year. He stressed
that in this budget we are trying to stay as near as possible to
the rollback rate, but contrary to public opinion, growth does
not fund itself.
Commissioner Scurlock believed that a large percentage of
Mr. Ireland's increase was due to School taxes.
Brenda Kraft, 8045 90th Avenue, informed the Board that she
has an acre and about .06 more; so, they get charged for 2 acres.
She advised that she has started a petition which will be coming
to the Board next week because a lot of residents do not want
this paving. She moved out to this area for the country setting
and would like to keep it natural. The one road that was paved
this year has turned into a speed lane, and they do not have
adequate police protection, fire department service, or reliable
ambulance service. They also have problems with construction
dumping and with people using the area as a firing range. Ms.
Kraft agreed that they do need drainage control and they do have
a mosquito problem, and they need these other things much more
than they need paved roads.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that at their last meeting the
Board approved $56,000 for aerial spraying for mosquitoes in this
general area.
Ms. Kraft further stressed that their road grading service
has dropped off considerably, and she has called the Public Works
Director about this.

It was determined that no one else wished to be heard, and
the Chairman closed the public hearing on the Vero Lakes Estates

In regard to Terra Linda Street Lighting District, it was
explained that although they have a budget, the District was not
created in time to get on the Tax Roil this year.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if the question raised by
Wellford Hardee regarding the Gifford Street Lighting District
has been resolved and was informed that it has not been totally
resolved but it has no impact on what we are doing tonight.
Administrator Chandler explained that Mr. Hardee is legally
within the District that was established in 1981. His question
is whether his property is benefitting from that District. We
are saying that there is a benefit, and that information was
conveyed to him yesterday.
Chairman Eggert then read aloud the budget for each Street

$1.8 million, which reflects an overall increase of $228,000.
There is no individual item causing this increase. We will be
adding 2 full time persons and deleting 2 part time persons, and
in order to maintain our level of service, we have proposed an
increase in the fee structure relating to greens' fees and cart
fees.

$169,142. This primarily can be attributed overall to one addi-
tional Building Inspector, capital outlay, and salary adjustment.
Commissioner Scurlock asked where the reserves show in this
budget, and OMB Director Baird explained that we have increased
Cash Forward by $106,957 on the expense side. The reserves do
not appear here because this is an expense and revenue
appropriation.
Administrator Chandler stated that the reserves are now a
little over one million dollars. We used some this current
fiscal year for additional automation of our building permitting
process, and we also are looking at this as a source at such time
as we have a need for expansion or change in overall facilities.

OMB Director Baird reported that the reserve is $1,179,852
as of the last check run.
Commissioner Scurlock noted thpt money all has been escrowed
and only can be spent for the Building%Department. He asked if
our total number of inspections is staying about the same, and
Administrator Chandler advised that although new construction has
slowed considerably, our number of inspections and our activity
is -increasing because repairs and alterations are increasing.
The Chairman determined that no one wished to be heard
regarding the Building Department budget and thereupon closed the
public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $1,106,194 for the Building
Department for FY 1990/91.
WATER & SEWER UTILITIES
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget is $8,388,013, an increase of $2,522,893. We have several
significant increases all primarily related to two things which
are interrelated. Most notable is our system expansion in both
water and sewer. On top of that it has been mandated by the DER
that the wastewater plants be manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. All this translates into the need for 26 additional
positions - 12 in sewer and 14 in water. Also, with the expan-
sion of the systems, there naturally are increases in basic
operating expenses. We do have a rate study under way, but with
the budget as presented, the expense increase is funded by the
increase in customer base and customer revenue.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing.

Utilities for FY 1990/91.
UTILITIES IMPACT FEE
Administrator Chandler announced that the proposed budget is
$2,300,000, an increase of $850,000, and this is related to
income from the impact fees.
Commissioner Scurlock believed there will be a significant
need to look at the cash flow and possibly do some financing
alternatives somewhere along the line in order to be able to
continue to experience the type of growth we would like and also
to accomplish what is mandated by the Comprehensive Plan.
Director Baird advised that we currently do a cash analysis
every month showing our commitments, and it is getting very
tight.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved

Impact Fee Fund for FY 1990/91.
CITRUS GROVE
Administrator Chandler announced that the proposed budget
for this fund is $85,507; a $500 increase over the current year.
Commissioner Scurlock asks where the profit from this grove
goes, and Director Baird stated that it stays right in the fund
itself.

Scurlock wished to know if the sod farm
is
included in this grove operation.
Director Baird confirmed that jit is and felt that we
probably need to rename this fund.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $85,507 for the Citrus Grove Fund
for FY 1990/91.
FLEET MANAGEMENT
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget is $1,017,781, and it contains an overall increase of
$60,546. This is due to a combination of increases - parts,
fuel, salary contingencies, basic operating expenses. He noted
that we will be looking closely at the operating expenses, fuel,
etc., in all of our operations because of what has transpired in
the Middle East.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing.

missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved

for FY 1990/91.
SELF INSURANCE TRUST FUND
Administrator Chandler announced that the total proposed
budget is $1,760,007, and it contains an overall increase of
$236,799. This increase is comprised of a combination of any
30
number of factors, i.e., the increased value of the new
facilities that will be coming on line; additional employees in
the budget; and also provided in this fund is funding for an
overall study for evaluation of our health insurance program.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard.
Mr. Ireland wished to know just what the Self Insurance
Trust Fund is, and Administrator Chandler explained that this is
where our Worker's Comp, liability, and basically all that type
of insurance is. This is the fund that covers our insurance
expense, and the result of going self-insured has been that we
have reduced our overall expense.
Mr. Simeone asked if this is working out real well.
Administrator Chandler confirmed that it is. He advised
that we have tightened up some and adopted specific policies and
procedures in regard to settling claims. Also, the safety
program goes hand in hand with this. We had an individual come
on board who really knows this field, and he believed this
program is exceeding everyone's expectations. The Administrator
further explained that health insurance is shown separately and
its cost is now reflected in each of the individual budgets. We
have got our Worker's Comp and liability insurance on a good
solid basis, and he felt we need to take a good hard look at our
health insurance.
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard, and
the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved
a tentative budget of $1,760,007 for the Self Insurance
Trust Fund for FY.1990/91.

Commissioner Scurlock wished to know how much is left on the
Route 60 Water Assessment Bond, and OMB Director Baird advised
that it is approximately $300,000. It has been paid down pretty
well, and about 3 million of the Route 60 Sewer Assessment is
left out of $5,160,000.
Chairman Eggert commented on the Tree Fines being listed
under Culture and Recreation, which she found an odd heading.
OMB Director Baird advised that is how the state sets up its
account system, but he can check on it.
Commissioner Scurlock believed that the Tree Fines Fund has
remained quite constant, and OMB Director Baird agreed it has
stayed pretty much the same over the years. Presently the cash
balance is $76,121.
