The BCC took over the function a few years back due to some service complaints from local citizens. But it is my understanding that subsequently the state knee-capped us by taking back control of the most remunerative services under that umbrella--leaving us with the money losing end of the agreement. Looking ahead to a cost of almost $2.9Million for Escambia County to continue meeting this state need, we made the right decision to give this responsibility and cost back to the state. This was the only decision that made sense. Now, myself and one other commissioner tried to do a one-year deal to make a smoother transition process for handing this off to the state--but there was not a third yes vote to make that happen. So we sent the 30 day notice to the state. And staff assured us that a 30 day notice to the state was sufficient for them to pick this service back up.Jeff Bergoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638001957494810839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317770170474039861.post-11980224790318576472017-06-03T02:54:03.033-05:002017-06-03T02:54:03.033-05:00So please enlighten me on the subject of E.C.C.T. ...So please enlighten me on the subject of E.C.C.T. Being managed by the State going to benefit its current workers who have next to nothing in benefits and Poverty level pay? Let me guess bean counters doing what they do best!!! Nothing!!! Probably also because no one in there family uses E.C.C.T. Because they have better benefits/ Insurance, well I guess we will also see how this works out for some of you board members during the next election but by then the damage will already be done and some of or a great deal of the drivers for E.C.C.T. Will be out of a job!!! Oh wait Trump will be able to help...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776909754455443733noreply@blogger.com
