PUBLIC HEARING

Chairman Anderson welcomed everyone in attendance and opened the public hearing.

Chairman Anderson stated “that this public hearing is to present the proposed budget of BakerCounty to the public for comment, questions and review, to make changes if desired by the County.The process for budget adoption is detailed precisely in Florida Statutes and we must comply withthose directives. The very first order of business is to discuss the proposed millage, the rolled-backmillage rate, reasons for the increase in ad valorem tax revenues. I will turn this discussion over toour County Manager to make certain we meet all required communications.”

Mrs. Kennie Downing stated “the name of the taxing authority is Baker County, Florida. TheCounty Commission’s proposed budget for FY 2017/2018 reflects a millage rate of 7.2916. Thatmillage can be compared to the current millage rate which is the same at 7.2916, and to the rolled-back millage rate which is 7.1985. The rolled-back rate is a calculation which brings in the sametax dollars next year as for this year excluding new construction. I am required by Statutes to statethe percent increase of the proposed millage compared to the roll-back. This is a positive number,because it is an increase. The proposed rate is a 1.29% increase over the rolled-back rate, or inother terms, a 1.29% increase. The County’s overall proposed budget is $31,428,554 and breaksdown as follows: General Fund - $9,654,920. Fine and Forfeiture - $4,466,531. Road and Bridge- $2,421,385. Road Paving - $6,373,600. Corrections - $2,900,000. Other Expenses - $5,612,118.This does not represent a millage increase. Property values increased this year by 2.43%. TheCommission voted 5-0 to set the max millage rate at 7.2916. This increase would allow the Countyto better fund the provision of essential services to our citizens. The budget reflects the draft budgetreviewed by the Commission throughout numerous budget workshops conducted over the past few

months, which is being presented this evening, September 5, 2017 at a public hearing and isscheduled for a second hearing and adoption on September 19, 2017.”

Kennie Downing stated County staff has met with our grant writers, North FloridaProfessional Services, to begin a dialogue regarding CDBG funding. The CDBG programis grant funding offered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development


(HUD). CDBG is a flexible program that provides communities with resources to addressa wide range of unique community development needs. Project funding varies with amaximum award amount of $750,000 and does not require a County match. Types ofapplicable projects include (listed in alphabetical order):

Community Centers Downtown Revitalization Drainage/Stormwater improvements Economic Development that creates job for low or moderate income people Fire Stations Park Facilities Rehabilitation of substandard housing Street or sidewalk improvements Water/Sewer system improvements

Part of the process in applying for CDBG funding requires two public hearings and a citizenadvisory committee to be formed. The first public hearing would allow citizens from BakerCounty to voice their opinion on projects they feel are needed in our community. Based onresponses from the first hearing, the Board of County Commissioners can make aninformed decision on what project is most needed in our community. Which is the publichearing being held tonight. The next step is to appoint a Citizen Advisory Committeetasked with discussing the selected project and developing details and cost estimates. TheCitizen advisory committee must consist of 51% citizens that meet the category of “low-income” or “moderate-income” per CDBG guidelines. The CDBG grant application isthen drafted. The second public hearing will provide citizens an opportunity to commenton the grant application and understand the costs and impacts.

Chairman Anderson called for public comment. Citizens in favor of applying for fundingfor a new Council on Aging facility to house congregant meals, a new kitchen and daycenter on the current transportation center property were:

Barbara YarboroughMaria AllenChristina HarveyElijah DanielsDennis Ferguson

Citizens in favor of applying for funding for a new fire station citing concerns overfailing infrastructure and dilapidated buildings were:

Ed BarberTrevor Nelson


Kelsey AndersonJeremy PooleDavid RichardsonTanya Anderson

The Board thanked everyone for their input regarding the grant process. Mrs. Downingstated the County had quite a bit of time to consider all the options, form a citizen advisorycommittee and make a decision on what option the Board would apply for by January 2018.

Meeting adjourned.

A. Pursuant to section 252.36(1)(a), Florida Statutes, the Executive Office of the

Office of the Governor.

B. Each State agency may suspend the provisions of any regulatory statute

prescribing the procedures for conduct of state business or the orders or rules of that agency, if

to, the authority to suspend any and alJ statutes, rules, ordinances, or orders which affect leasing,

printing, purchasing, travel, and the condition ofemployment and the compensation ofemployees.

covered by this Executive Order.

H. All State agencies responsible for the use of State buildings and facilities may

close such buildings and facilities in those portions of the State affected by this emergency, to the

extent to meet this emergency. I direct each State agency to report the closure ofany State building

or facility to the Secretary of the Department of Management Services. Under the authority

contained in section 252.36, Florida Statutes, I direct each County to report the closure of any

building or facility operated or maintained by the County or any political subdivision therein to

7

the Secretary of the Department of Management Services. Furthermore, I direct the Secretary of

the Department of Management Services to:

I) Maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of all such closures; and,

2) Provide that list daily to the State Coordinating Officer.

I. All State agencies may abrogate the time requirements, notice requirements,

and deadlines for final action on applications for permits, licenses, rates, and other approvals under

any statutes or rules under which such application are deemed to be approved unless disapproved

in writing by specified deadlines, and all such time requirements that have not yet expired as of

emergency.

Section 5. All public facilities, including elementary and secondary schools, community

colleges, state universities, and other facilities owned or leased by the state, regional or local

governments that are suitable for use as public shelters shall be made available at the request of

the local emergency management agencies to ensure the proper reception and care of all evacuees.

Under the authority contained in section 252.36, Florida Statutes, I direct the Superintendent of

each public school district in the State of Florida to report the closure of any school within its

district to the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Education. Furthermore, I direct the

Commissioner of the Department of Education to:

A. Maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of all such closures; and,

B. Provide that list daily to the State Coordinating Officer.

Section 6. I find that the demands placed upon the funds appropriated to the agencies of

the State of Florida and to local agencies are unreasonably great and may be inadequate to pay the

costs of coping with this disaster. In accordance with section 252.37(2), Florida Statutes, I direct

8

that sufficient funds be made available, as needed, by transferring and expending moneys

appropriated for other purposes, moneys from unappropriated surplus funds, or from the Budget

Stabilization Fund.

Section 7. All State agencies entering emergency final orders or other final actions in

response to this emergency shall advise the State Coordinating Officer contemporaneously or as

soon as practicable.

Section 8. Medical professionals and workers, social workers, and counselors with good

and valid professional licenses issued by states other than the State of Florida may render such

services in Florida during this emergency for persons affected by this emergency with the

condition that such services be rendered to such persons free of charge, and with the further

condition that such services be rendered under the auspices of the American Red Cross or the

Florida Department of Health.

Section 9. Pursuant to section 50 I. I60, Florida Statutes, it is unlawful and a violation of

section 501 .204 for a person to rent or sell or offer to rent or sell at an unconscionable price within

the area for which the state of emergency is declared, any essential commodity including, but not

limited to, supplies, services, provisions, or equipment that is necessary for consumption or use as

a direct result of the emergency.

Section 10. Under the authority contained in sections 252.36(5)(a), (g), and (m), Florida

Statutes, I direct that, for the purposes of this emergency, the term "essentials", as defined by

section 252.359(2), Florida Statutes, shall be the same as and no more expansive than the term

"commodity", as defined by section 501.160(])(a), Florida Statutes (hereinafter referred to

collectively or alternatively as "essential commodities"). Accordingly, any person who delivers

essential commodities to a location in the area(s) declared to be under a state ofemergency by this

9

Executive Order, and when necessary to ensure that those commodities are made available to the

public, may travel within evacuated areas and exceed curfews, provided the State Coordinating

Officer determines, after consultation with the appropriate Emergency Support Function(s), that:

A. Law enforcement officials in the declared area(s) can provide adequate security

to protect the essential commodities from theft;

B. The weight of a delivery vehicle will not jeopardize the structural integrity of

any roadway or bridge located within the declared area;

C. Delivery vehicles will not negatively impact evacuation activities m the

declared area(s); and,

D. Delivery vehicles will not negatively impact any response or recovery activities

occurring within the declared area(s).

After consulting with the appropriate Emergency Support Function(s), and after consulting

with local officials, the State Coordinating Officer may dictate the routes of ingress, egress, and

movement within the declared area(s) that drivers must follow when delivering essential

commodities.

Provided he or she is actually delivering medications, any person authorized to deliver

medications under chapter 893, Florida Statutes, qualifies as a person delivering essential

commodities.

In order to qualify as a person delivering essential commodities under this section, a person

must be in the process of delivering essential commodities only. If an individual is transporting

both essential and non-essential commodities, then this section shall not provide any authorization

for that individual to enter into or move within the declared area(s).

IO

Section 11. Consistent with Executive Order 80-29, nothing in this Order shall prevent

local jurisdictions in any area not declared to be under a state of emergency by this Executive

Order from taking prompt and necessary action to save lives and protect the property of their

citizens, including the authority to compel and direct timely evacuation when necessary.

Section 12. I authorize the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to distribute funds

pursuant to section 420.9073, Florida Statutes, to any county, municipality, or other political

subdivision located within the area(s) declared to be under a state of emergency by this executive

order. The authority of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to distribute funds under this

state ofemergency shall expire six months from the date of this Order.

Section 13. All actions taken by the Director of the Division of Emergency Management

with respect to this emergency before the issuance of this Executive Order are ratified. This

Executive Order shall expire sixty days from this date unless extended.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto setmy hand and caused the Great Seal of the State ofFlorida to be affixed, at Tallahassee, this 4th day ofSeptember, 2017.

2018 Legislative Priorities

SMALL COUNTY ROAD PROGRAMSBackground: The Small County Road Programs are critical to meeting Baker County’s Transportation needs.The Small County Road Assistance Program (SCRAP), Small County Outreach Program (SCOP), CommunityIncentive Grant Program (CIGP) and the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) provide necessarytransportation funding for road Improvements.

Requested Action: Support continuation and increase monies generated by statewide gas tax collections to the StateTransportation Trust Fund to provide essential transportation programs such as the Small County Road AssistanceProgram (SCRAP), the Small County Outreach Program (SCOP), Community Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) andthe Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP). Prohibit the creation of any legislation that would restrictthese types of funds due to comprehensive plan amendments adopted by small counties.

Effect: Continuation of these vital programs will enable counties to make much needed road improvements, createjobs, correct environmental problems created by runoff, and stimulate the local economy.

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS/SENIOR CITIZENSCENTERBackground: Baker County has two hurricane shelters and a population of 27,000. The County is a "recipient county"for urban Duval and other nearby coastal communities. The County has daily needs for facilities to serve seniorcitizens. Property has been acquired and plans prepared for a building that can meet both needs. Matching fundsassistance from the State would allow the construction of a facility that will meet local and regional needs.

Requested Action: Support funding for a dual purpose facility.

Effect: Will provide a multi-purpose building for our senior citizens and also provide a shelter for evacuees andtheir pets for local and regional residents in the event of a major hurricane.

AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXESBackground: Legislation requires local governments to roll back property millage rates regardless of publicsupported local needs and priorities. As a result, local governments must raise taxes in other areas to balance thebudget. A "one size fits all" approach punishes conservative, fiscally responsible communities and causes publicdissention . The State objective of fewer taxes at the local level is diminished.

Requested Action: Review all sources of State Revenue and eliminate exemptions.

Effect: Make available fair and equitable revenue sources for State and Local governments to meet needs.

OPPOSE EFFORTS TO PRIVATIZE THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA STATE HOSPITAL(NEFSH) AND DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (DOC) FACILITIESBackground: NEFSH and DOC are important employers in Baker County. Baker County's economy is heavilydependent on the jobs generated by these facilities.

Requested Action: Oppose legislation mandating privatization and contracting procedures without giving the affectedfacilities an opportunity to achieve similar savings internally.

Effect: A factually motivated decision should be made regarding the effectiveness of outsourcing NEFSH or DOCservices. The current public provider of service should have an equal opportunity to continue to providing the levelof service.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES: STATE AID TO LIBRARIES & MULTI-LIBRARYCOOPERATIVESBackground: The State Aid to Libraries grant program benefits all libraries in our State.

Requested Action: Fund the State Aid to Libraries program at least at the minimum maintenance of effort level.

Effect: State Aid pays for many activities in our public libraries; State Aid also brings $8 million in federal funds toFlorida through the Library Services and Technology (LSTA) program. LSTA funds keep our State Library open ,pays for the Florida Electronic Library (databases for all residents), and funds our Multi-Library Cooperatives (MLC's).The minimum maintenance of effort (MOE) level will ensure the funding for our local MLC's and ensure that Floridareceives its full share of federal dollars through LSTA.

BUSINESS CLIMATE I ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTBackground: To help encourage and support the expansion of local businesses and the developmentof new businesses.

Requested Action:*Restructure State QTI Incentive Program to Allow:Allow companies to receive 100% of credits in RAO county's without requiring local matchAllow companies to carry credits forward if they can't be used in any given yearAllow LLCs to take advantage of tax credits* Phase out the sales tax on commercial real estate leases since Florida is the only state that charges it

Effect: The business community pays more taxes and demands fewer services than any other segment ofan economy so growing the business community provides more stability to the local and state economy.

REVENUE DIVERSIFICATIONBackground: Ad valorem taxes have been insufficient and an inequitable source of revenue for small counties.Counties need to have the flexibility to levy additional sales tax at their discretion.

Requested Action: Allow counties the option to levy an additional sales tax.

Effect: The additional sales tax will create additional revenue for local governments that will affect thecommunity as a whole and not limit the burden solely to property owners.
