I'm writing to express my full support for the Released Reentry project being considered today. I know the people running the program as colleagues and co-workers, and I know them to be dedicated advocates with a wide range of experience developing and delivering trauma-informed programs to vulnerable people. Reentry projects are often difficult, working within one system while simultaneously needing to shore up and respond to other systems that make the process more challenging. In this environment, ensuring that the people responding to recently released individuals have lived expertise navigating the same systems becomes critically
The Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) and its subset, the Power Projection Platform (PPP), are the nation’s spine for connecting military installations to seaports and airports.

Deficiencies in highways and bridges could impact the efficient flow of military deployments in times of need for national security. Unknown by many, the planning and

“G-d will save us from their hands/plans…” Shalom Marihelen - Alachua County Commission District 2, Someone sent a funny meme with two cartoonist Jews kvetching on their way out of Egypt. One of them says, "After waiting for this day for so many years, all they packed for lunch was these crackers?" The other replies, "I am telling you, they will talk about this for AGES!" These cartoonish Jews have a point - traditionally (or is it just a stereotype?), Jews tend to pack more food than necessary. And here, as the Torah tells us, over 2 million Israelites left

I am writing to express my opinion regarding your proposed resolution to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The resolution as written suggests prejudices against Israel, insinuates that Israel targets civilians and falsely claims that Israel perpetrates violence against innocents (as opposed to Israel’s right and responsibility to protect its citizens and country after the worse attack against Jews since the Holocaust).

It’s not enough for meaningful reform to happen at the state level, it must be local too.
Good morning, MPOAC Governing Board Members and Staff Directors. It was just brought to my attention that the original meeting notice that we sent out has the Governing Board Meeting starting at 3 today. The agenda and the meeting packet have the correct time of 2:00. I sincerely apologize for that mistake. I hope this does not impact your travel schedule. We have a lot on the agenda today which is why we extended the time for when the Governing Board joins the meeting. Again, I apologize for the mistake.

I received an email from Cedar Business Services about a debt with you. I've never received this before and I moved out of Gainesville years ago. I tried to check in their website and just wanted to know if it's a scam (it's a $410.78 bill). There's also an error with the name and the zip code, so I just wanted to check, if there is a bill, let me know how I can pay directly.
Thank you for your email, which I will share with our Finance & Accounting department to see if we utilize Cedar Business Services as a debt collector for the County. I will be in touch again shortly.

Commissioner Wheeler, I am writing in regards that the Alachua County Commission is considering pulling the consent of the Architecture and Engineering plan to add another cement pad for 3 more Pickleball courts at the Jonesville Rotary Park.
I am a senior citizen and retired nurse who has been playing there for the past 5 years and waiting for this improvement. Two years ago the Wild Spaces planning group came to the park to do a needs study and recognized that pickleball is a growing sport for this park and that more courts were needed to accommodate the numbers of

Good Morning,
I am in receipt of your email below regarding CR 234. I understand your comments regarding the overall condition of the County’s road system. Unfortunately, up until recently, the County has not had a dedicated funding source to fund a Pavement Management System and, currently, there is a 30-to-40-year road surface maintenance backlog.

Commissioners,
Last year, representatives of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers as well as local electrical contractors approached the Board with a proposal for the County to regulate the licensure of the individuals performing work on electrical permits in Alachua County. County staff have researched the proposal as well as meeting with City of Gainesville staff and the supporters of this proposal. While recognizing the importance of safety and professionalism in the electrical industry, Staff would not recommend implementing this approach to additional electrical permitting at this time. This recommendation is primarily
