Hello Chair Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you
do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public-records
request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this
office by phone or in writing via regular mail.

This is story appreared in the Alachua Chronicle on May 15, 2024.
"Today the Florida Department of Children and Families sent a letter to Florida’s Congressional Delegation, warning that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating under the guidance of the Office of Refugee Resettlement are knowingly placing children in unsafe, unvetted settings and, even worse, are explicitly prohibited from reporting concerns to law enforcement. Recent reporting also shows that these NGOs are potentially making billions off of the unchecked flow of vulnerable children."

** What’s going on at Good News Arts This Week!

Y'all must be feeling very January 6 since you want a do over on the single member district.  Over 51% of the people who bothered to vote, voted for single member districts. Guess they actually cared.
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.
No taxation without representation.

I hope none of you ever run for reelection because if you win then I will
call for a new vote on the pretense that people did not understand who they

You think if in 2016 the Republicans would have said that Biden won, but
people might have made a mistake so let's vote again that would have gone

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

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.

One mile of SW 75th Street, south of Archer Road from its intersection with
SW 73rd Ave south to its intersection with SW 75th Way, is in
extremely poor condition and needs repaving.

We have lived in Thousand Oaks on SW 103rd Ave for 25 years (40 years in
Alachua County) and drive on SW 75th St many times each day. There are
several subdivisions that rely on this road, such as Meadows of Kanapaha
(Phase 1 and 2), Farms of Kanapaha, Kanapaha Pins, and Thousand Oaks.

ALL COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN COPIED ON THIS EMAIL

Commissioners,

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." The discussion by the Commissioners included housing, broadband, food availability, general social services, and economic development.

I also noticed on item P. 10. d. buying two homes in Hills of Santa Fe to convert to drainage for $850,000.

From the Property appraiser website the first house at 9910 NW 25th Place is not owned already by the County but it the lowest point and subject to the most flooding. Hopefully there were attempts to acquire that one first.

Board Members,

The agenda item, tomorrow, P.8.a. requests approval for spending $1.3m on 4.5 FTEs is that 'm' for million or thousand?

At m=Million ==>that is $288,889 per person!

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.

Thank you.

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.

After reading an article today in local 7 on bringing migrants to Alachua,
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. I do not see this item on the agenda currently and work 8-5 so I m unable to attend in person. Please vote no.

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.

Good evening Commissioners,

I just wanted to thank you for the support and concern that you expressed
today for the staff at the Supervisor of Elections office.

When it comes to holding early voting on the last Sunday before the
November election, I believe it would be a valuable investment for Alachua
County voters that would allow for more of our citizens to make their
voices heard in this critical time. I appreciate your willingness to
support our SOE through that effort, along with the additon of an early
voting location at Santa Fe College.

Hello Marihelen

I wanted to follow up to see if you have had a chance to review the information I sent concerning TVEyes, and how it might compare to how you are currently tracking for broadcast media coverage.

Basically, with a TVEyes account, you would have 24/7 access to all of your broadcast news coverage, can track for unlimited watch terms, and archive unlimited clips.

Last week, Sigma Underground, LLC, subcontracted by Hutchins Telecom Solutions, LLC/B&M Underground, LLC, was prohibited from working within the Alachua County jurisdiction and was to terminate all work immediately.

lay fiber optic cable in my neighborhood. I live at 938 SW 82nd Terrace,

I did not ask for this fiber optic cable and I am not an ATT subscriber.
Blue Streak eventually came out to fix the pipe but the landscaping was
