Adams, Vice Chairman; Richard N. Bird; Carolyn K. Eggert; and John W. Tippin. Also present were James E. Chandler, County Administrator; Charles P. Vitunac, County .Attorney; and P. J. Jones, Deputy Clerk. Chairman Kenneth R. Macht was absent from the meeting due to the death of his wife, Irene. Vice Chairman Adams called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. PRELIlM[INARY BUDGET HEARING - EY 1995-1996 County Attorney Charles Vitunac announced that formal notice of the meeting was given through the mailing of the Truth in Millage (TRIM) Notice and the Notice of Non -Ad Valorem assessments for 1995 to all Indian River County takpayers. Vice Chairman Adams announced that this is the first of two public hearings to consider the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 1995/96, and that County Administrator Jim Chandler would present an overview of the proposed budget. Administrator Chandler stated that after a brief overview of the overall budget he would address each individual fund and he recommended the Board follow the procedures outlined on the agenda for the individual funds. Vice Chairman Adams announced that it was the CONSENSUS of the Board- to follow the procedures to conduct hearings on ad valorem taxing districts as recommended by the County Administrator. 1 boof 95 mul SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 BOOK 95 F,up GENERAL FUND Administrator' Chandler announced the proposed millage reflected on TRIM notices is 4.2999 which is 4.20% above the rollback millage of 4.1264. The proposed General Fund Budget is $41,768,251 which is an increase of $1,991,776 over the current budget of $39,776,475. Administrator Chandler stated that the General Fund is funded through ad valorem taxes and the increase is due to (1) additional personnel, (2) health insurance, (3) salary reserves, (4) vehicle replacements, and (5) courthouse security. Commissioner Eggert questioned whether the figures being presented reflect the changes made at the March workshop, and Administrator Chandler confirmed that they do. The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing on the General Fund and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Ital Veron; Civic Association president, expressed his sadness at Chairman Macht's recent loss. Mr. Veron was concerned about costs and presented a chart comparing 6 counties, showing that Indian River County has the highest level of spending while 3 of the counties represented have greater populations. Doyle Vernon of 2324 1st Place -SW felt that once the millage is raised it is hard to lower it. He asked that each of the County's section heads be taught fiscal prudence. Barbara Tilton of 5725 N A1A questioned her property taxes and Budget Director Baird explained that her increase was due to a newly purchased property with a higher fair market value than her previous property. The Vice Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously, by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Macht being absent), approved the tentative millage rate of 4.2999 for the General Fund for Fiscal Year 1995/96. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously, by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Macht being absent), approved the tentative budget of $41,768,251 for the General Fund for Fiscal Year 1993/96. SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT (Af.S.T.U.) Administrator Chandler announced that the Municipal Service Taxing Unit millage as reflected on TRIM notices is 1.6236 which is 7.01% above the rollback millage of 1.5173. The proposed M.S.T.U. budget is $14,140,259 which is an increase of $1,139,847 over the current budget of $13,000,412. Administrator Chandler advised that almost 85% of the increase in this fund is confined to 2 areas; a transfer to the General Fund for law enforcement and a transfer to the Transportation Fund for the road and bridge department. The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing on the M.S.T.U. and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none the Vice Chairman thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously, by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Macht being absent), approved the tentative millage rate of 1.6236 for the Municipal Service Taxing Unit for Fiscal Year 1995/96. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously, by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Macht being absent), approved the tentative budget of $14,140,259 for the Municipal Service Taxing Unit for Fiscal Year 1995/96. TRANSPORTATION FUND Administrator Chandler announced that there is no millage for the Transportation Fund and that the proposed budget is $9,376,511 which is an increase of $743,878 over the current budget of $8,632,633. Administrator Chandler explained that 66% of the Transportation Fund revenue is derived from the General Fund and M.S.T.U. The areas comprising most of the 62% total increase are materials cost, salary reserve and vehicle replacements. The Transportation Fund includes the Public Works, Engineering, Traffic, and Road and Bridge Departments. No additional positions are proposed. The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing on the Transportation Fund and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. 3 Q Fao® SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 BOOK 95 FSI IVU3: Director Jim Davis stated that mandates to use paint which is free of lead, 61' rather than 4" stripes and reflective markings, together with enlarging approximately 30 culverts to accommodate drainage have contributed to the increases in this fund. The Vice Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously, by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Macht being absent), approved the tentative budget of $9,376,511 for the Transportation Fund for Fiscal Year 1995/96. EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT Administrator Chandler announced that the Emergency Services District millage reflected on TRIM notices is 2.3129 which is 11.35% above the rollback millage of 2.0772. The proposed Emergency Services District budget is $12,609,613 which is an increase of $766,652 over the current budget of $11,842,961. Administrator Chandler advised that critical areas contained in this budget are additional fire coverage in the north county for quicker response time, and 6 additional paramedics (3 at Winter Beach and 3 at Fellsmere) required because the volunteers cannot continue beyond 1/1/96. The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing on the Emergency Services District and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Ital Veron, Civic Association president, expressed his displeasure with the budget increases which he believed were out of line with the number of calls for service. Mr. Veron read into the record the following letter from the Civic Association dated 8/14/95: 4 SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION Ver Box IL _ Vero Beachh,, FL • of 32964-3381 Vero Beach and Indian River County "Since 1968, preserving, fostering and promoting the beauty, natural resources and good government of Vero Beach and Indian River County." August 14, 1095 Dear Commissioner Macht: The Civic Association has followed the County budget cycle through the workshops and the proposed budget reduction of $445,671, and we believe the new budget increase remains excessive. We are particularly concerned at the historic trend of Emergency Serivices' annual growth in funding. In the 1991/92 budget year, Emergency Services was funded at a level of $8.4 million and this year the department request was for $13.3 million, a 58% increase in just five budget years. To shed light on the need for such an exorbitant increase, we met with the department director, Doug Wright, on July 18. While he was most cordial, we felt that philosophically he lacks the resolve to cut government spending and, therefore, large future Emergency Services' budget increases may be expected. Of particular concern to us is the enormous growth in overtime, from $52,406 in 1991/92 to $758,433 in the proposed 95/96 budget -- a 13.5 fold or -1347% growth. Strangely, as we add EMS staff we may expect a corresponding increase in .overtime, which of course is contrary to any reasonable business principle. The proposed staff increases caused by a new station in Fellsmere and additions in Winter Beach will only compound this problem. As a consequence, we recommend that the Commission defer these increases until a complete review of the overtime circumstance and/or Emergency Services' staff consolidation has been completed. We are enclosing questions that we believe must be answered prior to another major financial commitment to the department of Emergency Services. Si erely, For the Board of Directors Ital Veron, President QUESTIONS CONCERNING GROWTH IN THE BUDGET FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES CIVIC ASSOCIATION AUGUST 1995 1. What has caused a 589 growth in budget for Emergency Services in just 5 years? 1995/96 department request. _ $13.3 million* 1991/92 actual = 8.4 million 5 year growth $4.9 million *This was requested by the department; it is not what they got after administrative staff reduction. 5 Roos 95 (��r10 0 SEPTEMBER 69 1995 Boca 95 Ptu(005 2. What percentage of EMS payroll is overtime? (Overtime has grown from $52,406 in 1991/92 to $758,433 in the proposed 95/96 budget which is 13.5 fold or 1347% growth.) 3. Why hasn't the EMS department growth more closely trended with population growth and calls for service? The original plan was created on a projected population growth of 3% per year and we've experienced approximately half of that. 4. Why haven't we begun a cross -training program which would more closely bring us into line with the economic reality of the time and a program which is working in Indian River Shores? 5. We believe an annual budget of $127,000 for uniforms and clothing is excessive and we should find ways to reduce it. 6. How can we justify $7,000 for travel? Who goes where and for what taxpayer benefit? 7. What criteria was used in proposing the Fellsmere station? It's our understanding the volunteer program cost $67,000 for insurance and all operating costs and the proposed program will cost over $700,000. Why can't there be s reasonable compromise until the population density of the area increases? 8. What criteria was used in expanding the staff in Winter Beach? We won national recognition with current staff which was obviously sufficient to serve the area. 9. Have we ever thought about privatizing some of the stations as a test case which may serve as a yardstick on how cost- effective our current system is? 10. When we buy equipment, why must we get all the "bells and whistles" like a $3,500 copier (the second one in as many years) and a $1500 lawn mower? 11. How will we bring future costs under control and what management system will be utilized? 12. There are those who are critical of the 800 MHz communication system. Why do we need it? How many other counties our size have it? Are we falling prey to vendor scare tactics? Aren't there other solutions'to serving the relatively few dead areas? 6 SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 Administrator Chandler explained that the major change in this budget was occasioned by compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act which has required a change in the way hours are computed for ALS personnel in that any hours in excess of 40 hours must be considered as overtime. Mr. Veron questioned whether privatization of this department has been considered, and Commissioner Eggert replied in the affirmative. Director Doug Wright explained that the Emergency Services Department has grown enormously and that the citizens voted to move toward paid and consolidated services through an orderly process. At one time emergency calls were performed by volunteers which is no longer an option. Director Wright elaborated that he had met with Mr. Veron for several hours in an attempt to explain the situation to him, including the $7,000 in travel expenses which contains costs for tuition and registration as well. Mr. Veron believed Director Wright to be an honorable and hard working man of good purpose but believed that his department is not showing fiscal restraint. Commissioner Bird felt that the level of service far exceeds anything available in the past, but that higher level of service comes with a higher price. Commissioner Eggert reminded the Board that the original 6 year plan has been stretched to a 9 year plan partly due to acknowledgment of economic difficulties. Vice Chairman Adams noted with regret the end of volunteer emergency departments because of required advances in response times and medical care. The Vice Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing.

The proposed Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Bond Budget is $1,677,228. The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing on the Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Bond and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Doyle Vernon hoped the congress will change the environmental standards to incorporate more common sense. The Vice Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing.
