• Summary
• The BCC Clerks Office are recommending that
  each Constitutional Officer make cuts to total
  the 4.9 million in state shared revenues.
• Sheriffs recommended cut 1.57 million from
  Jail Em Mgmnt budgets which equals
  approximately 1/3rd of total recommended
  county-wide cuts
• The 1.57 million with only seven months remaining
  is equivalent to a 9.1 cut of the 07-08 jail
  budget.

11

• Summary
• Current Property Tax millage rate of 2.73 mills
  generates 61,186,494 in the general fund.
• State Shared Revenues were estimated to provide
  29,135,237 in funding before reductions.
• Note The General Fund provides funding for
  County Commission General Operations,
  Constitutional Officers, Mandates, Agencies and
  Capital Improvements for a total of 164,428,505.

State Shared Revenues
This chart shows the estimated reductions in
state shared revenues (Blue Area) for the current
2007-08 fiscal year. It also shows the estimated
reductions from property tax revenues for fiscal
year 2008-09 (Red Area). The reductions in
property tax revenues are a direct result from
the passage of Amendment 1. This chart shows the
estimated budget reductions as they relate
specifically to the Sheriffs Office budgets.

• DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSION ON
  MARCH 4, 2008
• PROBLEM Due to decreased State Shared Revenues,
  the BCC has recommended a 4.9 million cut from
  the General Fund for County Operating Departments
  and Constitutional Officers.
• The recommended allocation is based on the annual
  operating expenditure appropriations of the
  General Fund for County Operating Departments and
  Constitutional Officers which constitutes an
  estimated 90 million.
• SUGGESTED COUNTY-WIDE SOLUTION A SOFTER
  LANDING
• Utilize Reserves Help offset revenue sharing
  losses by one half of the total 4.9 million by
  utilizing contingency funds (County-Wide
  Adopted Reserves 31,233,651 Jail Contingency
  228,258) This would
• Give additional time to adversely affected
  departments to come up with more innovative ways
  to decrease budgets.
• Give relief to county workers families that may
  have been adversely affected from cuts.
• Give more time to verify adverse trends were
  continuing and validate estimates.
• Give more time for public input.
• Allocation of Budget Reductions
• Allocate decreases over a greater number of the
  County-Wide budgets Total County-Wide Revenues
  355,789,875 Total General Fund Expenditure
  Budgets 164,428,505 Total Jail Budget
  29,430,079 Total Emergency Management Budget
  540,301
• If these solutions are not acceptable, then we
  are faced with the following
• The Sheriffs Office previously cut 1,264,885
  from the Jail budget which was the amount needed
  to fund a contract increase with Prison Health
  Services (864,885) and additional off-site
  medial costs (400,000).
• On October 1, 2007, the Jail began accumulating
  reserves by not replacing personnel or filling
  vacancies (operating at an understaffed rate) in
  order to fund the unbudgeted, anticipated inmate
  medical costs this year.
• Budgeted 4,960,088 in the current year for
  inmate medical.
• Created the OCC (Ocala Community Care) which is
  only 2 months in its infancy.

14
Steps we are considering to reduce the Jail
Emergency Management Budgets by 1,571,634. Plus
cover the unbudgeted, yet anticipated offsite
medical care of 750,000. This totals 2,321,634
of needed reductions

• Continue Hiring Freeze Do not fill any current
  vacancies (18 corrections positions) or positions
  that become open. Projected savings from Jail
  Budget (1,100,000)
• Stop Corrections Disparity Pay of 1,000 to each
  Corrections Officer
• Projected savings from Jail Budget
  (121,376)
• Overtime from Jail Budget (175,000)
• Overtime from Regular Budget ( 21,000)
• Hiring freeze (45 total positions) throughout the
  agency results in reallocation of funds to the
  jail budget. (i.e. Not Hire 10 new deputies
  transfer positions from Aviation and other areas
  to MSTU, vacancies from Regular budget)
  (735,682)
• Reduce fuel costs through take-home
  deduction. ( 30,000)
• Terminate contract with the Abbey Group for IT
  services. (390,953 in total) Savings from
  Regular budget (130,318)
• ESTIMATED SAVINGS 2,313,376

15
Potential Cost Savings from Terminating Abbey
Group Contract

• Total Contract Cost 987,986
• Amount expended from current budget (447,033)
• Software Licensing Fee (150,000)
• Total Potential Savings 390,953

16
Additional Steps we are Planning in Preparation
for the Additional 6.6 million cuts to the 08-09
budget

• Begin discussion of forming a not-for-profit
  foundation to accept donations and allow for fund
  raising by volunteers to pay for all costs
  associated with volunteer programs.

17

• A Not-for-profit foundation established for
  the volunteer groups would help offset costs
  associated with
• Vehicle Fuel 60,800
• Vehicle Repairs Maintenance 72,000
• Vehicle Insurance 18,700
• Professional Liability Insurance 77,000
• Miscellaneous (uniforms, training etc.) 20,000
• Total 248,500

Additional Steps we are Planning in Preparation
for the Additional 6.6 million cuts to the 08-09
budget

• Begin discussion of forming a not-for-profit
  foundation to accept donations and allow for fund
  raising by volunteers to pay for all costs
  associated with volunteer programs. 248,500
• Continue hiring freeze (loss of at least 45
  positions). 1,800,000
• No car purchases. This will put us behind 93
  cars. Savings 652,150
• Further reductions of operating expenses (ie
  travel, contract services, insect control,
  utilities, etc.) 500,000
• Fuel Savings from employee take-home usage
  deduction 508,000
• ESTIMATED SAVINGS 3,708,650
• Basically the only way to reach 6.6 million is
  reduce wages by approximately 6 across the board
  or layoff approximately 100 additional people,
  both of which the Sheriff is not inclined to do.
  There is no money for the unbudgeted medical for
  next year and NO MORE RABBITS TO PULL OUT OF THE
  HAT.

Question???

• How far do you think we should go?
