AD VALOREM FUNDS S.A. AD VALOREMMILLAGE AND AD VALOREMBUDGET — GENERAL FUND — MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING KNIT (MSM — TRANSPORTATION FUND — EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT — ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND ACQUISITIONBOND 5.1. GENERAL FUND matter. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this Frank Coffey, 88 Cache Cay, questioned the reduction in the budget and did not believe it could be viewed as a decrease. CULTURAL COUNCIL OFINDIANRIVER COUNTY Agnes Ash, Executive Committee of the Cultural Council, asked for $20,000 for an office assistant. The Council is growing very fast and has been very prudent with money in the past. She emphasized that the Council really needs this assistance to continue to grow. After general discussion, Budget Director Joe Baird suggested that the item be deferred until the end of the meeting. SEPTEMBER 8, 1999 -3- oa ' J14 ° EOOK hi INDIANRwER ALLIANCE FOR THE MENTALLYILL Beverly Whiteley, 1906 33rd Avenue, Alliance for the Mentally Ill, requested that $4,000 be added to the budget for their expenses. They run a "drop-in" center in town for those with brain disorders and have about 40 members. The funds provided by the state allow a small amount for the Center to remain open but provide nothing for education which they have been attempting to provide. Most ofthese individuals live on disability payments and have no funds available for self-improvement and education. They have a "peer council" which has made the people feel more comfortable and provided a greater sense of community. If these individuals can stay connected to the center, the suicide rates drop, relapse is prevented, and stability is promoted. She asked the Board to please reconsider making this contribution. Director Baird noted that staff had not recommended funding for this year due to the use of the funds given last year. The County had thought the funding would be used for programs and believed that it had mostly been used for travel and salaries. Commissioner Adams also had believed the funding would be used to make a direct impact on the mentally ill in terms of programs and noted that any travel expenditures would be a red flag to her. Commissioner Tippin stated that he had been to the center and listened to some very convincing testimonials. He felt the benefits being received were very helpful. Commissioner Adams felt she would be happy to try to fund something to be used for a direct impact program for the mentally ill. Mr. Stanhope of the Alliance stated that about 20% of their funds are used for travel while the balance is used for education, classes, and therapy. The travel allowance allows recovering people to go to meetings and to be able to express what is taking place in their lives. This is a very important part of the program and the Alliance has had many requests to incorporate more music therapy. This is, nevertheless, an all -volunteer organization and the funding is extremely important. SEPTEMBER 8, 1999 0 -4- • • GENERAL BUDGET PROCESS Frank Coffey, 88 Cache Cay, raised several issues regarding the budget process including the number of new employees proposed. He wondered where the funds come from for these costs and whether those amounts are included in the annual budget. Administrator Chandler explained some of the procedures involved and that any amounts required over and above the budgeted amounts are brought before the Board as a formal budget amendment. Director Baird offered to provide further information for Mr. Coffey tomorrow at the Budget Office. COAanwFOR THE HOMELESS Dick Van Mele, 7300 20'` Street, #525, President of the Coalition for the Homeless, requested further consideration of the Coalition's request for $25,000 which had been approved by the Task Force Committee. He believed that all further information requested had now been provided and noted that they have worked very hard and raised over $200,000. The County's funding of $50,000 last year made it possible for the Coalition to provide aid to people who are not residents of the shelter. They fed over 284 meals to non-residents. Chairman Macht stated that the Samaritan Center also went through the same growing pains with operational and staff costs. He believed that the Coalition for the Homeless is moving forward and that the Board must now decide whether the County has a responsibility to share the costs with the care givers. He urged the Board to give the Coalition another chance to fulfill their promise. Commissioner Tippin felt the Coalition is doing a superior job and he is very encouraged by the progress they are making. He favored interim funding for a 6 -month period in the amount of $25,000. SEPTEMBER 8 1999 -5- I i °`n rt,J SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT Budget Director Joe Baird gave a brief background description of the Sheriffs Department's request. The Sheriffs office had originally asked the Board for permission to house some Broward County prisoners through an agreement where Broward County would pay $45 per day per prisoner. The Sheriffs Office would retain a portion of the fee for services and had also requested that the remainder be used to supplement their budget in other ways. All of these funds have been used to offset Sheriffs costs and no other County departments have received any portion of these funds. Originally, on a month-to-month basis, the revenues and expenses were detailed and submitted to the Board for approval. Subsequently, the Sheriffrequested that this be done on an annual basis with all revenue projections coming from the Sheriffs Office. These figures received from the Sheriffs Office included the cost of capital equipment and the helicopter, but not the cost of feeding the out - of -county prisoners. In December of last year, he went over these figures with the Sheriff s Department due to the fact that they were making the revenue projections. At that time, the Budget Office tried to minimize the effect of the shortfall and when the Sheriffs Department requested a $261,789 refund, they were advised to cut the request as much as possible. They later came back with a request for $68,000 which Director Baird believed to be funds actually needed by the Sheriff s Department. However, it appears that the funds to feed the out -of -county prisoners have been omitted from the budget. The recommendation would be to take out the revenue item and reduce the expense item by the same amount to make it easier to track. He also wanted to correct a statement in the Press Journal stating that the County has received this revenue. These funds are in the Sheriffs account. Undersheriff Tun Davis stated that the expense of feeding the out -of -county prisoners has never been included in the Sheriffs budget. He noted that the 1998-99 Sheriffs budget estimated the revenue at $1,222,700 and it will come in at about $1,119,000 to be returned to the County's general fund, not to support any of the Sheriffs programs. After going through the budget several times, they have been able to pare the request down to $68,000. SEPTEMBER 8, 1999 0 6 Commissioner Adams appreciated UndersheriffDavis coming to today's meeting to handle this matter but was very concerned that the Sheriff's Comptroller, Ricky Dees, was not here to answer the Board's questions. She was also sorry that the Sheriffwas not here. In 1997, the budget broke the expenses down into food, clothing and linens categories. Also, a food budget of $337 was detailed, with staff meals at 88¢ indicated as part of the budget. The revenue side is included in the budget but not the expenditures. Administrator Chandler explained that the basic problem is that last year, as the funds were received, the expenses were allocated on a monthly basis. For the current fiscal year, the Sheriff asked to be able to estimate on a annual basis and incorporated $730,000 in revenue for housing, allocating $492,750 for federal prisoners. The assumption was that expenses were also included, however the budget is short because insufficient dollars were requested for expenses. Director Baird felt the Sheriffs Department had worked very hard to get the request down to $68,000 and he believed they do need the funds. However, they have continued the error in next year's budget. He believed that the easiest solution would be to reduce that amount out ofthe budget entirely and go back to monthly allocations. Administrator Chandler recommended that the Sheriff's Department be given the $68,000 in the current fiscal year's budget to be addressed on next week's agenda with next year's budget being corrected to go back to a monthly allocation as it was previously handled. Undersheriff Davis stated that he had only learned of this meeting yesterday, and Chairman Macht noted that this meeting has been advertised for months. Administrator Chandler also noted that the dates for these meetings were set in July and advertised. Also the TRIM notices which were mailed in August notice these hearings. SEPTEMBER 8, 1999a N O f'. -7— • EOOK LO fnUE "` p Chairman Macht was amazed that the Sheriff was not present and reminded Undersheriff Davis of the agreement on the use of the helicopter. He recently learned that the Sheriff is not adhering to the agreement and has been allowing non -law-enforcement people aboard. The agreement was that the helicopter would be occupied and crewed by law enforcement officers only. UndersheriffDavis stated that those were all either municipal or county employees taken up for very good reasons but understood that the use would be only for catching "bad guys". Chairman Macht commented on the County's potential liability and stressed that he would not vote for funding if the Sheriff does not keep his word. He hoped the Sheriff would understand that he personally would not tolerate a person who gives his word and then breaks it. Administrator Chandler then asked for a motion regarding funding for the Cultural Council in the amount of $20,000; for the Alliance for the Mentally Ill of $4,000; and for the Coalition for the Homeless of $25,000. Commissioner Adams noted that total would be $49,000 and questioned whether that amount would be available. Administrator Chandler stated that $50,000 had been included in the budget for asset mapping for the Children's Services Network which could be transferred, and Chairman Macht confirmed that the asset mapping would not be needed for the coming year. There being no one else who wished to comment, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
