Re: Requests for Funding in Budget Year 2017-2018

Dear Commissioners and Ms. Perryman:

Thank you for providing $5,000 in financial support to The Arc North Florida, Inc. this past year and many

years prior. Through your continued contribution and those of other donors, The Arc North Florida is able

to continue as the primary service provider for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in

Baker County. We currently provide Adult Day Training for people with an intellectual disability, which

supports families of Baker County.

As you develop this year's budget, we ask for your continued support of $5000.00 for our agency. Through

your unwavering support of our agency, we are able to offer these services to families, which allow them to

work and be productive citizens in the community or simply gain some much-needed respite. We want to

thank you in advance for your consideration of support for the upcoming fiscal year 2017-2018.

I have included a copy of our most recent financial audit with this letter of request. Please notify me when

you schedule your budget hearings so that we can participate and as always, you may contact me if you

have any questions.

FLORIDA VETERANS FOUNDATION, INC.The Capitol, Suite 2107

400 South Monroe StreetTallahassee, Florida 32399

Dear Baker County Commissioners,

In 2008, Florida Legislature established the Florida Veterans Foundation(FVF) as a Direct Support Organization to the Florida Department of Veterans'Affairs (FDVA). The Foundation operates for the direct and indirect benefit ofthe veterans of Florida, the FDVA, and veteran service organizations. The FVFis also a nonprofit organization operating for charitable and educationalpurposes under Section 501(c)(3).

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, appointed bythe Executive Director of the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs. Boardmembers are veterans, business owners and community leaders teaming withCounty Veteran Service Officers to provide support to your veterans.

While many of Florida's 1.6 million Veterans, successfully transitioned to apost-military career, many encounter challenges that impede their progress.Veterans reported priority services needed during this transition wereemployment assistance, housing, and utilities in emergency situations.Additionally, everyday personal issues such as joblessness, family crisis,disabilities, disasters, can lead to homelessness. The FVF serves all FloridaVeterans in emergency need. The Foundation is "Solution-based" in assistanceand its philosophy is to "Leave No Veteran Behind" by:

• Providing Emergency Financial Aid• Supporting Homeless and At-Risk Veteran Stand Downs• Education through distribution of VA Benefits Guides• Other holistic support to veterans, e.g. health, transportation, clothing

Florida Veterans Served 2016 Emergency Assistance Amount Awarded

385,748 520 $363,346.64

The Foundation currently has only enough funding to continue through thisyear and then will have to begin turning away those in need. There has been agreat deal of effort put into marketing and fundraising. Fundraising has beenon a pro-bono basis. There is no recurring funding for the Foundation.

Ihis request is for a budgeted annual donation of $10,000, which will be usedto support veterans in your county. We hope that you will be an advocate forveterans' emergency financial need, and contribute to the Florida VeteransFoundation. Please let us know if we can count on your county for support ofveterans.

After notice and two public hearings, thefirst of which may be conducted by the LPA, inaccordance with Article X of this chapter andthe county comprehensive plan, the board ofcounty commissioners may enact an ordinanceestablishing a Mine Permit including anyspecial conditions related thereto, afterconsideration of the following and based uponfindings that:

(1) The proposed Mine Permit does notaffect adversely the environment ororderly development of the county anddoes not adversely impact surroundingland use in accordance with this section.

(2) The proposed Mine Permit isconsistent with the County’s goals,objectives and policies contained in thecomprehensive plan. The board of countycommissioner shall consider: thephysical characteristics of the subjectparcel and surrounding lands; impact onthe surrounding transportation network;the availability and capacity of publicservices; and applicable developmentstandards promulgated by the board ofcounty commissioners.

(3) The proposed Mine Permit will notaffect adversely the health and safety ofresidents or workers in the area and willnot be detrimental to the use of adjacentproperties or the general neighborhood.

(4) If the proposed reclamation wouldresult in significant changes to the postmining topography, the County shallconsider whether the proposedreclamation maintains or improves theuses and functions present on the siteprior to commencement of the miningoperations or provides alterations whichserve a public purpose, such asenhancement of aquifer recharge, changeswhich maintain or improve the land's


suitability for economic development,utilization by wildlife or recreationalpurposes. If the proposed reclamationwould result in the creation of one ormore permanent lakes, the County mayconsider whether the lakes are shaped attheir banks in a manner similar tonaturally occurring lakes in the BakerCounty area, and whether the slopes aredesigned and shaped to be stable andafford opportunities for future accessand use, and whether the proposedreclamation plan incorporates reasonablefuture uses of the lake(s).

(5) If the board of county commissionersenacts an ordinance approving a MinePermit, the Mine Permit area shall beindicated on the official zoning map. Allmaps, plans, documents, agreements,stipulations, conditions, and safeguardsconstituting the development plan asfinally approved shall be placed on filewith the Community DevelopmentDepartment and shall constitute theregulations for the specific Mine Permitthat has been approved. All miningactivities within the boundaries of theMine Permit as approved shall take placein accord with such regulations.

(6) Approval of an application for a MinePermit by the board of countycommissioners shall be contingent uponacceptance by the applicant within 30days.

(i) Approval of the Mine Permit. If a MinePermit is approved with conditions whichmodify the development plan submitted forfinal approval, then after approval by theboard of county commissioners, the applicantshall submit a revised development plan to theCommunity Development Director for review. TheCommunity Development Director shall reviewthe development plan for conformance with the


ordinance passed under subsection (h) of thissection. Action to approve, modify or deny thesite development plan shall be taken by theCommunity Development Director within 30 daysof receipt of the plan.

(j) Appeals. Any injured or “aggrieved party”by the final actions of the board of countycommissioners may present to the circuit courtof the county a petition for writ ofcertiorari to review such final action asprovided in section 125.018, F.S.

Failure to file anappeal within said thirty (30) days shall bedeemed a waiver of all appellate rights.

(k) Limitations. No written application by anowner of real property for a mine permit fora particular parcel of property, or partthereof, shall be filed with the CommunityDevelopment Department until the expiration oftwelve (12) calendar months from the date ofdenial of a written application for minepermit for such property, or part thereof,unless the board of county commissionersspecially waives said waiting period basedupon a consideration of the following factors:the new written application constitutes aproposed mine permit different from the oneproposed in the denied written application;failure to waive the waiting periodconstitutes a hardship to the applicantresulting from mistake, inadvertence, or newlydiscovered matters of consideration.

(i) Mining exception; fish ponds. A fish pondis any natural or artificial area which has adiscernible shoreline and ordinarily orintermittently contains water and whichsurface area generally spans less that two


acres in size, and which exists for thepurpose of supporting marine life for casualharvesting or ornamental and/or landscapingdesign.
