DISCUSSION OF WORK PROGRAM RE PRISON INMATES
Responding to Chairman Brown's invitation to the public for other matters to
be brought before the Board. Mr. Mike Zewalk inqUired why Collier County prison
inmates are not permitted to work during their incarceration, Citing the State of
Georgia has such a work program which is saVing the State's taxpayers $2.000,000
annually. County Manager Nonman explained that certain inmates are working, if
they are permitted under the law. and also pointed out that Georgia has copied
the County's program in this regard. He also stated that there are two crews from
the Stockade working under the Road and Bridge Department. Mr. Zewalk commented
that he was satisfied that such a program is being implemented to the extent
possible.
August 7. 1979
Following completion of the regular agenda, the Chair directed that the
~oard remain in session to address the following matters with regard to the
1979-80 Fiscal Year Budget, as requested by Fiscal Officer Harold Hall:
1. Additional reductions in bUdget.
2. Transfer of funds, if necessary. for reduction in millage rate,
and FY 1979-80 tentative budget approved.
3. Personnel request by Ochopee Fire Control District.
4. Elimintation of 2% administrative charges from Special Taxing
Districts, where applicable.
5. Authorization to advertise public hearing date.
BOARD APPROVES ADDITIONAL REDUCTIONS IN FY 1979-80 BUDGET ($6,000 - IMMOKAlEE
lANDFILL. AND $25,000 - EQUIPMENT-ROAD AND BRIDGE)
County Manager C. William Norman reported to the Board that. due to the
fact that the new position for the Immokalee Landfill will not be required for
at least six months into the new Fiscal Year. one-half of the costs. or $6.000.
for same can be cut from the pertinent budget. A further reduction. said Mr.
NannIn, is for equipment in the Road and Bridge budget. He said that another
look has bee~ taken of the specifications for the hydr~ulic excavator and it is
now felt that it can be obtained for $25,000 less than the original estimate.
County Engineer Barksdale explained that the estimate is based on a "sort of"
firm quotation of the estimated value of the dragline traded in. Adding the
two reductions together, said Mr. Nonnan, a reduction of $31.000 can be made.
It was the consensus of the Board that the reduction be approved.
BOARD AUTHORIZES FISCAL OFFICER TO TRANSFER ADDITIONAL FUNDS, IF NECESSARY, FROM
CASH CARRYOVER ANDIOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS TO REDUCE THE MILLAGE RATE FOR
FY 1979-80 TO 5.45 MILLS. AND APPROVES TENTATIVE BUDGET
Resp "Iding to Commissioner Pistor, Fiscal Officer Harold Hall said that the
amount being carried over in the operating general fund coming into the current
year is the same as last year - $1,800,000. and the amount for Capital Improvements
is approximately $900.000. As to the effect the cutting of $200.000 or $250.000 fr
the carryover fund would have on the operations at the end of next year. Hr. Hall
said that it would definitely cut into the Capital Improvement Program. and that
it would decrease the amount of reserve the County would have going into the
coming year. Mr Hall said that such a cut could be done; however. he said that
caution is needed because of economic conditions in the coming year. He said that
the Department of Revenue has already told him that they are skeptical with regard
to the gas tax receipts.

During t~J discussion, Commfssfoner Wenze1 observed that if $100,000 was
taken from the cash carryover and $100,000 from the Capital Improvement Program.
for a total of $200,000, that would be a safe figure to work with.
Commenting that last year.s millage rate was 5.47 mills, Chainman Brown
moved that the Board reduce the budget to a point where it can be funded by a
millage rate of 5.45 for County-wide funds, and that the tentative budget for
FY 1979-80 be approved. Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion.
Regarding whether or not a millage hearing is required, Mr. Hall said that
such hearing is necessary because, even though there is a decrease in an individual"
taxes, it is above the certified millage that would return the same number of
dollars, commenting that Florida Statute 200 requires that if you increase the
millage above the millage necessary to produce the same amount collected the previou~
year, a hearing is necessary.
Upon call for the question the motion carried unanimously 5/0.
Commissioner Wimer stated that it is his understanding of the motion that
the subject funds do not all have to come from the cash carryover, suggesting
that the funds could come from wherever possible in the budget. The Commissioner
was assured his understanding of the motion is correct with Mr. Hall adding
that if other sources for reductions cannot be found, the suggestion made by
Commissioners Pistor and Wenzel would be followed.
BOARD APPROVES REQUEST BY OCHOPEE FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT TO DIVERT CETA POSITION
TO REGULAR POSITION. AS RECOMMENDED BY COUNTY MANAGER
County Manager C. William Norman recalled that when the Board tentatively
approved the various Fire District budgets for FY 1979-80 each specific budget
was not addressed individually. He said that he recommended some cuts in the
Ochopee Fire Control District budget which were not discussed and he would
like to change his recommendation of a cut in the form of 1~ people and
the down payment on a truck. Also, that the Ochopee Fire Chief and the advisory
Board have appealed to him to allow the District to divert one CETA position rather
than having to layoff a person who is a resident of the community. trained and
certified. He said if the recommendation is approved the District will still
have a carryover of between $15.000 and $20.000 at the end of the coming year.
August 7, 1979
Therefore. said Mr. Norman. he is recommending that there be a cut of one-half
person and the $9,000 truck payment and approve the on. position requested.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried
4/0 with Chairman Brown not present. that the County Manager's recommendation
be approved with re9ard to the Ochopee Fire Control District's budget for
FY 1979-80.
BOARD APPROVES FISCAL OFFICER'S REQUEST FOR ELIMINATION OF THE 2% ADMINISTRATIVE
CHARGES WHERE INCLUDED IN SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS BUDGETS PENDING FURTHER REVIEW
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall said that in some special taxing district budgets
there is an administrative charge included and that he would like the Board's
approval to eliminate the 2% administrative charge. where applicable. until such
time as all of the special districts can be reviewed and a uniform approach
implemented.
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried 4/0
~ith C~a1rman Brown not present. that the request by Hr, Hall be approved.
STATUS REPORT ON COMMUNICATIONS COSTS BY FISCAL OFFICER
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall reported that the final figure on the Communications
costs will be approximately $38.000 above the prior year. He said that this
figure has been added into the budgets and is included in the latest budget figures
presented to th' Board this date.
ADVERTISING AUTHORIZED FOR PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 21. 1979 RE FY 1979-80 TENTATIVE
BUDGET
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall explained that once the proposed bUdget has been
adopted advertising can be authorized for a public hearing. He said that one
budget hearing is necessary and, although not required. it has been the practice
of the Board to hold this hearing at night. It is being recommended, continued
Mr. Hall. that Tuesday night, August 21. 1979, be established as the date for
the public hearing.
Commissioner Pistor moved that advertising be authorized for August 21. 1979
for a public hearing on the tentative budget for FY 1979-80. The motion was seconde(
by Commissioner Archer and carrried 4/0 with Chairman Brown not present at the
time of the vote.

millage hearings to be held following the adoption of the final budget. The
two dates suggested were a night hearing on September II, 1979, and the other
a day hearing on September 18. 1979. It was Mr. Hall.s further suggestion that
