Summary Explanation and Background:
Florida Statutes 129.202 Budget of the supervisor of elections; matters related to allocation, expenditure, etc., of amounts in budget.
(1)(a) The supervisor of elections shall requisition, and the board of county commissioners shall pay that officer, at the first meeting in October of each year, 25 percent of the total amount budgeted for the office and, thereafter on the first of each month, 6.82 percent of the total amount budgeted for the office. However, if there are unusual or unanticipated expenses in any one month, upon notification by the supervisor of elections, the board shall transfer the necessary amount, except that the total amount paid during the year shall not, without appropriate amendments, exceed the total budgeted for the year.
Due to November 2024 being a General Election, a larger position of the budget will be needed in the earlier part of the budget year. The supervisor is requesting 40 percent in October and the remaining budget to be transferred monthly thereafter.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please send Board Memo to Maria Mair, Finance Director, Supervisor of Elections, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Melbourne, FL 32940.
