The other reason was so that the State could regulate the <br />control of alcohol. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis stated that the ABC Board only generated $300,000 which went to the County <br />general fund. He feels that all opportunities for revenue sources should be maximized. The ABC Board should <br />look at streamlining their operations so as to increase their funding to the schools. <br />John Link commented that the ABC Board was concerned with generating the amount of revenue that was <br />anticipated even though sales have gone down. One area that needs to be addressed is what are their long range <br />plans as far as distribution and where the stores will be located. Commissioner Halkiotis and John Link will study <br />these issues and report back to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />d) School Related Elements of 1999 County Legislative Agenda <br />No comments were made. <br />e) Timetables/Progress Reports for Major OCS/CHCCS Capital Projects <br />No comments were made <br />f) CurrentlAnticipated Budgetary Impacts of Charter Schools <br />No comments were made. <br />g) Summary of Joint Master Recreation and Parks Work Group (Attachment 3 g) <br />Commissioner Brown stated that this group is meeting and reviewing key issues countywide and working <br />toward effective recommendations.
