That the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Annual Certified Budget for Mosquito Control for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, as required by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Agricultural Environmental Services, relating to the Mosquito Control Division, Department of Natural Resources Management.

[Funding: Fund 106, Mosquito and Arthropod Control, Cost Center 220703, M & A State One Funds]

BACKGROUND:

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services provides annual Grant funding to Escambia County to supplement the Mosquito Control Program. The funding will be allocated under Cost Center 220703, Fund 106. In order to receive the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Grant, the State requires Escambia County to provide an Annual Certified Budget for Mosquito Control to show how the funds will be used. The Annual Certified Budget being approved with this Recommendation is tentative because it is based on Escambia County's proposed Fiscal year 2018-2019 budget.

Budget Reduction in Personnel expenses per Budget Office. This is per Board Direction from the 06/25-26/2019 Budget Workshops. The BCC gave the budget office direction to split two Mosquito Control personnel salaries 50/50 with Code Enforcement. The adopted Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget reflects a reduction in salaries of $40,416 to Mosquito Control and an increase of the same amount to Code Enforcement.
