9.B. 17-0965 Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar: Discussion on Budget Amendment
Sheriff Deryl Loar announced that the Sheriffs Office had implemented the
Alpha -Bravo shift to maintain public safety before, during, and after Hurricane
Irma. Hc announced that due to the accrual of 14,200 hours of overtime since
September 7, 2017, there was a shortage of dollars to make payroll. He detailed the
payroll periods and noted that the fiscal year-end funds encumbered to make
improvements in the Sheriff's Office had instead been absorbed into the September
15, 2017 payroll. Sheriff Loar requested that the Board allocate an estimated
$950,000 to allow him to meet payroll, and reminded the Board that the Florida
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would reimburse the County for eligible
emergency expenses.
An extended discussion ensued, as the Commissioners sought and received further
information from Sheriff Loar on the emergency overtime and his budget.
Commissioner Solari noted that there was a lack of documentation with regards to
the Sheriff's request for the $950,000.
County Administrator Jason Brown stated that staff would need to receive all the
necessary documentation to justify the requested budget allocation, and discussed
FEMA's rules regarding reimbursable expenses.
Commissioner Solari offered an analysis of the Sheriff's payroll needs, and
deduced that $290,000 would suffice for the Sheriff to make the next payroll. 1 le
stated that the Sheriff could thereafter produce documentation for the balance of his
request.

Meeting Minutes - Final September 19, 2017
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Vice Chairman O'Bryan
for discussion, to allocate $290,000 to the Sheriff's Office for the upcoming payroll
period.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan sought and received further data on the pay periods and on
Sheriff Loar's documentation, and suggested that an allocation of up to $500,000 be
made for the payroll due on September 29, 2017. He added that it would be
possible to initiate a budget amendment later to cover those funds that the Sheriff
already had to spend.
Commissioner Solari withdrew his motion.
Commissioner Zorc elaborated on his suggestion to increase the proposed
allocation to $700,000.
After further discussions about whether the $500,000 would be sufficient to meet
the Sheriff's next payroll, the Board consensus was to hold a Special Call Meeting
to address any cash flow issues before the Sheriff's next payroll is due in October
2017.
Chairman Flescher invited the Sheriff to discuss his budget further at a Special Call
meeting, at which time, a date will be set and the meeting announced.
Joseph Paladin, President, Black Swan Consulting and Atlantic Coast Building,
stated that based on past history and performance, he supported the Sheriff's
request and advocated that the Board do so. He also spoke to the excellent
performance of the Sheriff's Office in maintaining public safety.
Commissioner Zorc declared that he would oppose the proposed motion; he
preferred to allocate closer to the $700,000 figure, so the Sheriff's year-end
purchases can be made.
Throughout the discussion, individual Commissioners and Administrator Brown
acknowledged the exemplary service provided by the Sheriff's Office in
conjunction with the storm event. It was also noted that the Board and County
were obligated to perform their due diligence on the Sheriffs budget request.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Solari, to
allocate to the Indian River County Sheriff's Office up to $500,000 in funding for the
payroll of September 29, 2017, pending the County Administrator's review of the
Sheriff's documentation; once the Sheriff's payroll reports are completed, if the
Sheriff needs additional funding, the Chairman will hold a Special Call Meeting for
further discussion on the Sheriff's budget. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, and
Commissioner Solari
