Fernandez, M.D. • c/o -Florida Keys Memorial Hospital • Stock Island Key West, Florida 33040 Dear Dr. Fernandez: As you are probably aware, mandatory reserves of 2% of funds allocated for medical examiner services were required by Cabinet action of August 25, 1982. Since that time, State revenue shortfall has indicated the need for an additional mandatory reserve of 2.49% of the adjusted allocations, an action which was mandated by the Florida-Cabinet at its meeting of November 16, 1982. - • To reduce the impact of the 2.49% mandatory reserve, the • Medical Examiners Commission, at its January 28, 1983 meeting, voted to reallocate a total of $9,340 to participating counties in order to supplement the cost of medical examiner services. This amount is composed of $2,500 from prison autopsy monies and $6,840 from Hernando County' s allotted share of funds as • Hernando County elected not to participate in the State supple- mental funding program. Despite these efforts, the second • disbursement of funds will reflect a decrease. Paragraph 4 of the contract between the Department of Law Enforcement, the Medical Examiners Commission, the District Medical Examiner and Monroe County., provides that the con- tract is subject to the availability of funds. Paragraph 5 further requires that any amendments may be made, "when they have been reduced to writing, duly signed and attached to the original" of the contract. The attached Contract Amendment, then, is intended to reflect a reduction in the total funds to be provided to Monroe County of $173.00. This reduction will be applied to the second disbursement of funds Monroe County will receive, subject of course to other applicable contract provisions. Letter to Dr. Fernandez February 23, 1983 Page Two Please sign and date all three (3) copies of the enclosed Contract Amendment and forward same to respective county officials in your jurisdiction for their similar execution. As soon as all three (3) copies of the Contract Amendment are received by this office, properly executed, a copy of the ti• amendment will be provided to the county and processing of the agreement will continue. • We sincerely regret the necessity for this action and trust this explanation will be satisfactory. Please let me know if you require any further information in this regard. Sincerely, Frank H. Carter, Director Division of Staff Services /11.- f . ong, Staff irector e i Examiners Co ssion JWL:si MEC4/N31 . • Attachment STATE OF FLORIDA, COUNTY OF LEON • AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Medical Examiners Commission, hereafter referred to as "COMMISSION" and Monroe County, hereafter referred to as "COUNTY",entered into .a contract effective July 1, 1982 through June 30, 1983, WHEREAS, that contract provided in paragraph 4 thereof, that such contract is 'subject to the availability of funds, • WHEREAS, that contract provided in paragraph 5 thereof, that such contract may be amended in writing by the mutual consent of the parties thereto, WHEREAS, the parties to Such contract are desirous of having all provisions ... of the contract dated the 2nd day of December, 1982, remain in full force and effect except those amended hereby, NOW, THEREFORE,, in consideration of the premises and promises contained herein, the above stated contract is amended as follows: 2.A.
