Commissioners et al,

We cannot in good conscience support an effort to actively bring more people to our county. The roads are terrible, the housing situation is terrible and the schools are over-crowded. Where will these people go?

Hello,

Thank you for efforts to improve our deteriorating roads.

Thank You,
Sharon Breitinger

Good afternoon,

If you are included in this email that means you are registered for FAC Annual Conference in June. I cannot express the importance of staying until Friday's closing session to make your voice heard. Elections will be held to elect the FAC board of directors from the even-numbered State Senate districts. In addition, the electorate will have the opportunity to vote for FAC's next Second Vice President and shape the future of our organization. I certainly hope you will consider me for the 2nd VP position.

A Message from the Meatworks Plant Manager

The reopening of Meatworks is met with challenges and opportunities for The Livestock Institute and our community. Reopenings are always a challenge, but a restart of a community-driven organization that has had hard times should be seen as an opportunity. It is an opportunity for new ideas, process changes, and new staff. Today I report to you as the new CEO, wearing the hat of Executive Director of TLI and Plant Manager of Meatworks, we are back open, and we have made some changes.

Did you actually mean to imply that voters are too stupid to understand what the change would mean?  Oh, yes, you did.
I completely understood the implications; we have a real possibility of taking away the commission's rubber stamp for every hairbrained liberal idea that comes down the pike.

The Latest in the Fight Against the Opioid Crisis in Florida and Beyond A Note from Our Founder   This year alone, over 100,000 Americans have lost their lives to opioid overdoses, a staggering number driven predominantly by the synthetic opioid fentanyl. As the most potent and dangerous drug ever to hit our streets, fentanyl's impact has been devastating. However, amidst these grim statistics, there are signs of hope. Across the nation, some states and local communities are reporting a decline in overdose deaths for the first time in a decade. These promising trends underscore the effectiveness of the strategies

Hi Anna! My name is Rachael Ryan and I work with Family Promise of
Gainesville. We were wondering if you would possibly come and meet with us
and hear about what we do? There is a lot of focus on homelessness now due
to the amount of people who are living downtown but not much on family
homelessness. We would like an opportunity to put some things on the table.
Is that possible?

As you know, Lauren Poe, his fellow ideologues, and the extremist positions
that they held in regard to zoning and other divisive issues were rejected
by your constituents during the last election. That is why you are in office
today.

Many of us in the larger community had hoped that Poe, Hayes-Santos and
others of his ilk would simply fade away, but that is not the case. Now he

** The Hall Hunger Initiative works with community partners

As a resident and taxpayer of Alachua County I reject this plan to accept federal money for resettlement of refugees in this county.
The federal government continues to loosely define who is a refugee and fails to verify who is allowed to enter our nation.
This plan would place our most vulnerable law abiding citizens at risk for their access to education, health resources, and safety in our communities.

Federal efforts to improve the medical examiner and coroner systems, collectively referred to as the medicolegal death investigation system, have been ongoing for more than a decade. But attempts to even identify solutions at the federal level have proven difficult because of local struggles with chronic funding shortages, a lack of forensic pathologists and technical staff, outdated equipment, and inconsistently implemented standards across jurisdictions.

Dear Manager Lieberman and Commissioners:

Please move the proposed Public Records Policy from the Consent Agenda to

1) Please consider a policy that all public records created in electronic
format automatically be placed on a website for the public to access or
search, to the extent feasible.

The purpose of this system would be to reduce staff time responding to
individual public records requests and help the public be more informed.

One mile of SW 75th Street, south of Archer Road from its intersection with

Earlier this year the Commission asked staff "to develop a scope of work for developing a needs assessment for the 301 corridor and bring back during budget cycle with a focus on attracting grant funding that could address immediate social service needs for Eastern County as well as economic development needs."

Dear Commissioners,

Please explain to me why and how Wild Spaces and Public Places funds were
used to pave SW 24th Ave almost the entire length from SW 122nd St. to SW
91st Street.

There are many roads within the county that have potholes too numerous to
count and yet SW 24th was paved. I understand paving the area just around
the new fire station, but the length that was paved. This action has the
appearance that persons who live in the neighborhoods along the described
area of SW 24th St. have more influence including those in Oakmont.

Citizen’s Academy – Session 6 Update

 

Week six of the Alachua County Citizens Academy was held at the Freedom Center at Veterans Memorial Park, where participants had an opportunity to learn more about the monuments dedicated to those who lost their lives in armed conflicts.

Originally dedicated in 1993, the “Walk Through Time” shows major U.S. wars (starting in 1775) and features bricks stacked high. Each brick represents 1,000 military lives lost.

Dear Commissioners,

By now, in retrospect, it is obvious that our county's at-large voting
system was wrongly overturned through deceit. Voters were bamboozled by the
use of outright lies, disinformation and dark money from outside the
county.

I am asking you to please put a referendum to restore the traditional
system on the ballot. I recently broke my shoulder and cannot attend
tomorrow's meeting, but I wanted you to know where I stand on this issue.

I m super concerned about the prospects of bringing crisis migrants to Alachua County as our budgets are already stressed and we have a homeless crisis in our area that we are also trying to support. Our taxes are already the second highest mileage rate in the State of Florida and this is an extremely concerning prospect.

Just a friendly reminder about the upcoming webinar on 6/12/24 featuring Placer County, CA, and their innovative approach to creating achievable housing in a super expensive market.

- Used scientific resident survey data to inform housing decisions
- Learned about residents’ feelings about housing a range of incomes
- Achieved tangible results for their community
- Developed strategies that other cities and counties can replicate
- Saw housing get built that wouldn't have otherwise been built

I am writing to express my strong support for the bipartisan effort to halt the expansion of facial recognition technology at airports in the United States, as outlined in the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill. Senators Jeff Merkley and John Kennedy's proposal to restrict the use of this technology until 2027 (even better, require explicit Congressional authorization to proceed), and to ensure that passengers have the hassle-free option to opt out where it is in use, is a critical step in protecting the privacy rights of Americans.
