now and the total debt service In Sewer Area -A- i. $2.8 million. Øe
atated that there will be no debt service for Sewer Area -A- by itself.
Utilities Director Crandall stated that he i. proposin9 that there
be two new revenue source. in the budget, which would be a utility
permit fee for plan review and inspection and a fee for flushing,
filing, and chemical analysis. He statod that there is ni) fee for
permits at the time for plan reviews and. inspections. He stated that
throughout the State of Florida this is done, addin9 that a .ervice Is
bein9 performed with revenues fri)m the rates to perform this .ervice,
and this is something that the Bo~rd will have to approve before it can
be done. He noted th~t present revenue sources includo system
develoµnent charges, which are presently unequal for diffe,'ent areas of
the County, and with the ci)nsolidation of districts, it would b.
proposed ti) equalize these fees which would have to come before the
Board at a public hearing for approval. He noted that the Utilities
Division shows an increase in expenditures for i)perations, which was
funded through a 10\ budgeted growth factor and the use of prior
res~rves and not thri)ugh a rate increase.
Mr. Mohler stat~~ that ot the l8 employees that will be hired, 7
people will be for the wðter pldnt distribution, 3 people for the ,ewer
plant and the rest are administrative types for operations.
Mr. Crandall stated that tne Engineer and Engi~eering Inspecti)r
will be inevitable and is pri)po~ed to be funded by a portii)n of the
permit fee. He ni)ted that he has 64 employees at the present time.
Commissioner Holland stated that everyone is being asked to cut
back and Utilities wants a 10\ increbse in personnel.
Mr. Crandall statEd that the department is growing considerbbly
and they have taken on new projects, such as Foxfire and the possible
purchase of Lely. He stated that they are adding about 150 service.
per month.

Is 90inq to be county-wide utilities, noting that it is going to be the
fastest growing department within the County. He indicated that next

." yet, and he cannot see hiring 18 people this year and po..ibly another
25 people next y.ar. He stated that he has no argualent vith the people
for the vater plant, but he cannot see putting people in the office
that are going to have to review and inspect, adding that this shi)u1d
be done In the Engineering Department.
There was general discussion regarding the lack of review and
Inspections for the various projects within the County.
Commissioner Voss questioned if the majority wanted to approve the

Fiscal Officer Giles stated that the only debt issue this year was
the refunding of the sales tax issue which accounts for the bulk of the
increas~. He stated that the debt s~rvice is approximately $26 l'IIillion
more this year than last y~ar and is primarily the refunding.
Commissioner Voss questioned what the race track bonds were used
for, to which Fiscal Officer Giles stated that they w~re issued for
road improvements.
It was the gen~ral consensus that the debt service budget be
accepted as presented.
BOARD or COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY ATTORNEY BUDGET
Budget Director Zalka said that the budget is increasin9 for one
attorney and a legal secretary in the County Attorney's i)ffice
addition ~f travel funds for state legislative liaison activities and
funds for the annual employee Christmas party for a total increese of
23.4\. Sh. ni)ted that this includes the County Attorney's budget, the
Board of County Commissioners' budget, and the other general admini-
strative functions.
Commissioner Voss stated this budget reflects an attorney specifi-
cally for the Utilities Department.
County Attorney Saunders stated that last year, the Utilities fund
vas charged $40,000 for the serVlces of the County Attorney's office.
Commissioner Hass~ questioned if there would be any savings for
special legal counsel if there is another attorney hired, to which
Coun~y Attorney Saunders stated that the reason that he requested an
increase in that budget was due to the litigatii)n that had been filed

~~ Commissioner Hasse questioned why the County Attorney's vehicle i.
costing $4,600 more, to which Budqet Director Za1ka stated that. the
mot~r pi)ol rates have been increased to reflect capital recovery
charges in order to replace the vehicle after 6 years and there was a
new vehicle received in November which WaS not shown in the budget.
County Attorney Saunders stated that the Commission changed hi.
contract to provide for an automobile after the 1984-85 budget was
presented and, therefore, it did not show up in his budget for the
current year.
Budget Director Zalka stated that the Budget Office also recom-
mended that just an attorney be funded rather than an attorney and a
secretary, since a secretarial pi)sition was added this year.
County Attorney Saunders indicated that this was not correct,
adding that there has always been two secretaries in the Attorney's
Office for a number of years. He stated that the position that was
added was the Legal Research Assistant. He stated that if an attorney
is added that will make 4 attorneys, which means that a secretary would
definitely be needed.
County Manager Lusk stated that one of the Attorney's works 100\
of the time on Utilities matters, adding that he supports the ide. of
hiring a fourth attorney.
Commissioner Holland stated that if the secretary and attorney are
doing the work for the Utilities Division, then they should be charged
to them and housed with tn.m.
County Attorney Saunders otated that the attorney is being charged
to the Utilities Department and the secretary will also be charged for
the amount of work that she di)es for Utilities, but the attorney should
not be housed with Utilities as there is a need for independence
between the departm&nt head or division administrator and the County
Commission.
There was g.n~ral discussion regarding the Utilities budget and

County Attorney Saundeu stated that a reasonable al'llount would be ", ',;"~~f
about 1/3 of the secretary's salary.
County Attorney Saunders stated that there i. an additional $6,000
that will be received in revenu.s this year from the Pollution Control
proqram.
Budqet Director Zalka stated that she would charge the Utilitie.
$8,000 for the year, which would make the charqe to Utilities $49,000
as opposed to $41,000 and ~uld make the total revenues $55,000.
It was the qenera1 consensus that the County Attorney's budget be
accepted with the reduction i)f $30,000 in legal counsel fees and $8,000
for a portion of the secretarial position which will be charged to
Utilities.
Administrative Assistant Israelson stated that the Budqet Director
did not have any changes recommended for her budget, addin9 that she
r~commended the full amount which came to approximately a 4\ increase.
Commissioner Pistor stated that there seems to be some concern
about Commissioners taking trips, adding that the fiqurG8 are basod on
estimate. as to what it will cost to attend certain functions. He
stated thnt it should be underslood that when the budget is approved,
the trips that are necessary have also been approved and the Commis-
sioners should not have ti) remember to brinq it up each time bofore the
Board.
Commissioner HaAse questioned how much is set aside for trips, to
which Mrs. Israelson stated that $6,000 for out-of-county travel has
been budgeted.
Mrs. Israelson stated that she did not eliminate tho third
secretarial position from the budqet, noting that if there is a need
for the position she will come back to the Board.
Commissioner Holland stated that each Ci)mmissioner should have a
secretary, adding that there Is no way that two secretaries can do the
job that is needed for five Commissioners.
It was the general consensus that the budget for the Board be

.'x~'~,'::~' County Manaqer Lusk .tat.d that he a.ked for the $10,000 to be put'
~\lnto the budget, addine;¡ that during legislative sessions this County
", 'need. to become a part of Tallaha..... He not.d that Manat.e County
got $1.7 million from the State to build a H.alth Department, adding
'that this County is floating bond. to build a Health Department which
..an. th.re i. a .hortcoming of this County. H. .tated that the County
should work clos.r with the le91.lator. and at lea.t once a week during
....ion, somuon. from the County should be there. He stated that the
$10,000 will be returned many times over if the County has .om.one in
Ta 11ah.8.ee.
Commissioner Pistor stated that one day would not be eni)U9h as it
would not l.ave anytime there. He stated that someone could go the
nie;¡ht before and return the fi)llowing night, but It would be necessary
to spend a night in Tallahassee in order to make the session for the
day worthwhile.
County Manager Lusk stated that time needs to be spent lobbyine;¡
with the legislative delegation.
Commissioners Goodnight and Hass. agreed with the use of the
$10,000.
Commissioner Holland stated that he feels that there should be
more than $10,000 in the budget for this type of travel, adding that
another $10-15,000 would be better.
County Manager Lusk stated that this is at least a start and next
y.ar mi)re could be budgeted if necessary.
Commissioner Pistor stated that if th~ $lO,OOO Is completely uS.d,
funds could be taken from the Contingency, if necessary.
It was the general consensus that the $10,000 be included in the
bude;¡et for the travel for state legislative liaison activities.
Commissioner Goodnight stated, with reference to the employee
Christmas party, she does not feel that it should be deleted. She
stated that the only thing that happens in this County that bring. all
the employees together is the Christmas party, and the $5,000 is used
to help pay for the band, the renting of the building, the food and the
.ervine;¡. She noted that each employee has to pay for a ticket, but the
$5,000 helps to defray the cost of it.

SHERlrr's BUDGET
Deputy Chief Hunter stated that the budget was being prepared in
February, soliciting the supervisors to indicÐte their needs for what
they must have ti) di) their jOb, adding that thesd are submitted to hi.
office, compiled, and are then analyzed in comparison with the informa-
tion on hand for the prior calendar year and from that a bude;¡et recom-
mendatii)n is given ti) the Sheriff. He stated that from the initial
request over a half million di)11ars was cut, adding that 63 pei)ple were
requested to be hired and that was cut to 46.5 people. He stated that
the positions that are being r~quested are for 1984-85 figures and not
1985-86 figures. He statœd that most of their budget revolves from
personal servir.ds. He noted that he attempted to determine the time
and a half impact and out of it came ð revised budget which reflects
the revised figures due ti) the Fair Labor Standards Act. He stated
that the revised figure would be $999,171.00 which takes into account
the 42.5 hours that a law enforcement officer may be required to work
under the legislation as well as taking into account an additii)nal
number of hours up to 48, that it is expected a patrolman would have to
perform in order ti) accomplish his work. He stated that it also
includes the difference between 42.5 and 10 hours that an investigator
i. going to work overtime each week. He noted that this is all
included within the $999,171.000 figure, adding that also included is
the 10' automatic overtime figure which is to be absorbed as it has
been paid for the last ten years.
Commissioner Voss stated that the officers Were paid 10' for which
they worked 4 hours a week ovortime in the past. He questii)ned, if
that 4 hours has now become time and a half, has the salary buan
increased plus the lOt? He stated that he does not think that anyone
should get a raise by a Supreme Court decision.
Mr. Hunter stated that he calculated his figures on a 42.5 hour
work week recognized as being required, plus a recognized minimum of
1.5 hours which is what is required to work in order to satisfy their

'ba.ed on a 42.5 hour work week p1u. time and a half lor 1.5 hour. which
'raS.ed ~h.' hourly rate .li9ht1y due to the fact that the 10' was
absorbed.
Co~als.1oner Holland stated th.t the 4 hours that the.e people
received for the last 10 years was 9iven at that time in lieu of .
raise that tha County said they could not afford. He qu.stioned how
auoh overtime his men work?
Mr. Hunter Indicated that they .re required to .ccount for 4 hours
beyond the normal 40 a week, but they work the amount of time that is
nec....ry.
Commi..ii)ner Holland stated that regardless of wh.th.r th.y work
44 hours or ~O hours, they have been paid for 44 hours for the past ten

years.
Commissioner Voss stated that he i. saylne;¡ that the 44 hours that
they will be working now, because of the time and a half hour situa-
tion, they should be receiving the same ami)unt of money that they w.r.
makine¡ before rather than the Ci)urts saying that they have a raise.
Commissioner Holland stated that the Sheriff's pay is tied to the
State Patrol salary by state legislation and the Ci)unty does not really
have a lot to say abi)ut it.
Mr. Hunter stated that the State Patrol will be receiving a
Dlaximum of 15' over the next fiscal year and will be subject to the
time and a half as well, adding that he is only proposing 5', plus the
10\ absorption that he already had adjusted, plus the minor difference
in hourly rate between the 42.5 hours and the 44 hours.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the hourly rate, the
overtime, and the salary adjustment versus the court decision.
Bude¡et Dir~ctor Zalka stated that there is copy of the Fair Labor
Standards Act which shows a proposal where the hourly rate is reduced
in order to pay the same amount of money for the same 44 hours of work
which is a way to pay for the cost of the overtime without any additi-
onal increase to the budget. She stated that this would pay for the 44
hours, but for the hours worked bayond 44 there is a calculation that
shows how additional employees ci)uld be used to work the overtime so
that the budget would not have to be increased. She stated that
instead of the $1 million as is requested, she would recommend no
Increase to the tentative budget using he. calculations.
Commissioner Voss stated that as a percentage of the total in-

crease of all the budqets this year, the Sheriff's budqet a. ori9inally
pre.ented was about 59. of that total Increa.o and if another million
dollar. Is addeð to that, it goes even higher. He stated that this
million dollars represents about .15 mills in ad valorem taxes which i.
quite a burden on some people. He stated that there needs to be a way
to compensate for the additional cost that the Sheriff i. faced with In
overt hl,r.
Mr. Hunter stated, with reference to the Budget Director's
recommendation, the number of overtime hours is not going to deducted
by using other employees as there is still a lot of paperwork invi)lved
that has to be handled with regards to each complaint. He stated that
if fewer people are hired this year, the County would not be able to
handle crime in the manner that it should be handled. He noted that
last year they put on 6 new people and this year they want to hire an
additional 20 people.
Commissioner Goodnight questioned the 33' availability for road
patrol versus the national standard of 26'.
Mr. Hunter stated that there are no national standards by virtue
that each department is different and is responding to a different
populace.
Commissioner Gi)odnight stated that the Sheriff's Døpartment has a
high percentage of increase and now more is being added to the bude;¡et.
She stated that as a citizen she would like to see her tax dollars go
to the Sheriff's Department, but something has to be cut as the budget
is too high.
Mr. Hunter stated that there are a couple of possibilities, addine;¡
that pei)ple could be phased in during the year, but next year the full
amount would nave ti) be picked up for all the people that are hired
this year. He noted that instead of the total $16,716,000 if a
phase-in over a period of months was done, it would reduce the budget
by $171,314.00 and there ci)uld also be some latitude in taking a number
of positions and placine;¡ them under the Confiscated Trust Fund and the
elimination of the reserves for the Health Insurance would make a total
reduction of $306,339. He noted that there is also a difference in the
projected revenueø compared ti) last year, adding that approximately
$60,000 more should be earned by the end of the fiscal year, which
would be approximately $376,000 total reduction. He stated that there
may be residuals in the amount i)f $350-360,000 due to the late i)penine;¡
of Building "J".

8udget Director Zalka .tated, with reference to the school
~crosslng guards, the Florida Legislature has authorized the
"ColIl'lli.sioner. to add a $4.00 penalty to traffic fine. to fund the
i.... "
".chool c¡¡uards proCjral'll, adding that if this was done it would Dlean
revenue for the City as well as th. County and if the $37,500 was put
t~ards the school guards proCjram it would reduce the unincorporated,
area taxes from 26' to 24' which would be a way to save ad valorem tax
dollars.
Commissioner Holland stated that he i. Ci)ncerned about not having
enough law enfQrcement officers for the job that shQuld be and has to
be done. He noted that with only two or three in a district the
protection that is needed cannot be obtained.
Budget Director Zalka stated that she would like to clarify some
numbers, adding that it was mentioned that there is a $600,000 decrea.e
to the Sheriff's budget which is actually a $600,000 increase because
there is abi)ut $350,000 expected to be returned this year due to the
late opening of the Justice Center. She noted that this money is
already in the tentative budget and there is $300,000 worth of cuts in
the list that was rec¥ived, but the cuts are then applied against the
million dollar increase for overtime, Si) the net effect is that this
budget is $600,000 more than what is in the tentative budget which
means taking that amount out of the Commissioners Reserve for Con-
tingency in order to fund the budget.
Mr. Hunter questioned the amQunt of the residual that was included
in the budget, to which Ms. Z~lka stated that for next year it is only
$100,000, but she does not know what it is for this year.
Mr. Hunter stated that the $100,000 figure that was r.ferred to a
few mi)nths ago was the residual figure, adding that there is a
difference between the $100,000 and thA $350,000 that was not predicted
a few months ago, therefore, there may be an additional $250,000 comine;¡
back to the County.
Budget Director Zalka stated that she does not remember the
figures at this time.
Mr. Hunter stated that during the first workshop it was pointed
out that at least $76l,000 needed to be considered in the millae;¡e by
