Commissioner Long Installed as FAC President
Alachua County Commissioner Rodney J. Long was installed to serve as President of the Florida Association of Counties (FAC). Long was sworn in during the FAC Annual Conference held in Collier County, FL.
“The next year will present many challenges for local governments,” said Commissioner Long. “As FAC president I look forward to leading the charge as we rebuild our economy and strengthen home rule.”
President Long had already been serving as FAC President due to the early resignation of Commissioner Randy Hatch. Commissioner Long will oversee the association directing policy, advocacy, and the administration of the Florida Association of Counties. The Association’s mission is to help counties effectively serve and represent Floridians by strengthening and preserving county home rule through advocacy, education and collaboration.
The Association is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of one county commissioner from each state senate district (40); five executive officers; six county commissioners appointed at-large with no more than three of the six from counties with population of 75,000 or more; and the past presidents of the FAC.
“Commissioner Long has already proven to be a tremendous leader of the association,” said FAC Executive Director Chris Holley, “His perseverance in standing up for the critical services citizens receive from counties will ensure that our members are well represented.”
Other FAC officers installed were President-Elect, Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman, 1st Vice President Martin County Commissioner Doug Smith and 2nd Vice President Gulf County Commissioner Bill Williams.
Founded in 1929, the Florida Association of Counties is a non-profit association representing the diverse interests of Florida’s 67 counties.
For more information, contact Cragin Mosteller, Communications Director, Florida Association of Counties at 850-294-9307.
Alachua County Commissioner and Florida Association of Counties (FAC) President Rodney J. Long will co-host the July 27, 2009 “Climate Communities” event that runs in parallel with the Nashville National Association of Counties (NACo) conference. Of the ten co-hosting elected representatives from across the United States, Florida holds three positions, matched only by California in leadership.
Alachua County is a member of the Climate Communities advocacy group, a coalition of local governments dedicated to engaging federal policymakers about the role of counties and cities dealing with climate change while encouraging intergovernmental partnerships that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As of December 2008, the Alachua County Commission has unanimously endorsed Climate Communities Climate Action Blue Print and has signed a proclamation in support of National Climate Action Week which emphasizes the need for federal funding for local energy conservation projects, green collar jobs and energy independence.
For more information, contact Alachua County Sustainability Program Manager Sean McLendon at 352-548-3765.
Alachua County Wins NACo Awards
The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to inform citizens that Alachua County has won three “Achievement Awards” and one “Best of Category Award” from the National Association of Counties (NACo).
The Office of Growth Management’s submission won both an Achievement Award, and a Best of Category Award in the Information Technology Category. There were only 20 Best of Category Awards given this year, and this is the second year that Alachua County has gotten a Best of Category Award.
The departments and categories that received Achievement Awards include:
“NACo is proud to confer these awards and recognize your county’s hard work to promote quality, efficient, and responsive management and administration,” writes Larry Naake, NACo Executive Director.
These departments will be formally recognized at the 13th Annual NACo Conference, Sunday, July 26, 2009, in Nashville, TN.
For more information, please contact Alachua County Office of Management and Budget 352-374-5262.
Alachua County’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been awarded a $5,000 Government Trailblazer Grant from the National Center for Civic Innovation (NCCI) to support the County’s Alternative Futures/Community Conversations program. To view the award letter, click here.
The Trailblazer program has two major objectives:
To produce greater alignment between the public’s point of view and the actions and priorities of its local government, and
To provide non-confrontational opportunities for the public and government to discuss matters of mutual concern.
For more information about the Trailblazer program, click here.
Alternative Futures/Community Conversations is a series of public meetings to discuss difficult fiscal constraints facing Alachua County, and receive community feedback through an interactive simulated budget activity.
In speaking of the grant County Manager Randall H. Reid said, “This grant will help us continue to engage our citizens in the process of envisioning and creating a more sustainable future for Alachua County in light of the volatile circumstances and challenges we are all facing.”

With the help of the citizens, the Alachua County Tax Collector’s office is pleased to announce that they have exceeded their goal of collecting 7500 cell phones, before the 4th of July, for the “Cell Phones for Soldiers” program.
Cell Phones for Soldiers recycles old cell phones and use the funds received to buy calling cards, for military personnel. If you know any military personnel in need of a calling card, visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
Representatives of the Tax Collector’s office attend the twice monthly meetings of the Military Support Group of Alachua County to add calling cards to the packages sent to troops.
The Cell Phones for Soldiers program is continuing to receive cell phones for recycling. Phones can be dropped off at any Tax Collector branch office (in Gainesville: 12 SE 1st Street, 5801 NW 34th Street, 3207 SW 35th Blvd, and in High Springs: 110 NW 1st Avenue).
For more information, contact Roxanne Watkins 352-264-6935 or Stephanie Kelley 352-337-6228.
Eleven pet waste disposal stations were recently installed in County parks, as part of the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department (ACEPD) and Gainesville Clean Water Partnership pet waste public outreach campaign. Four additional stations will soon be installed at the Florida Department of Transportation I-75 rest areas located on Paynes Prairie. “It just got even easier to scoop, bag, and trash pet wastes in Alachua County,” says Stacie Greco, Senior Environmental Specialist, Alachua County Environmental Protection.
The pet waste disposal stations hold biodegradable bags for cleaning up after pets. Alachua County Parks and Recreation staff installed the stations, and keep them stocked with biodegradable bags. Squirrel Ridge and Forest Park have designated dog areas. Dogs must be leashed at the remaining County parks and are not allowed at Poe Springs Park.
Cleaning up after pets is important, because pet waste can harm waterbodies, human health, and the health of pets. ACEPD encourages citizens to be prepared, and hopes the new stations will help those that forgot their bags at home.
For more information, visit www.AlachuaCountyWater.org or call ACEPD at 352-264-6800.
To find County parks, visit the Alachua County Parks and Recreation’s website.
The Alachua County Facilities Management Division recently completed an upgrade and improvement project at the Alachua County’s Farmer’s Market on 34th Street and US Highway 441. The original metal Market pavilion facility was built in 1991 with funds allocated by the Florida Legislature specifically for building a “growers only” farmer’s market. This project, totaling $249,038.00, was approved by the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, and will provide local growers with additional space to market locally grown produce and products.
The scope of the project includes:
Expanding the farmers market is in line with one of the major strategic policies suggested by the Alachua County Energy Conservation Strategies Commission (ECSC), that of maximizing local food production and processing. Producing, harvesting and consuming foods produced by local growers enhance efforts in making Alachua County and surrounding areas a more sustainable community.
Alachua County Capital Projects Coordinator Bryan Schneider served as Project Coordinator, Skinner Vignola McLean, Inc., designed the project and OELRICH Construction performed the construction work. The project was completed on time and within budget.
For more information, contact Charlie Jackson, Alachua County Facilities Manager at 352-494-5005 or 352-374-5289 or Ms. Helen Emery or Ms. Linda Hart with the Alachua County Farmer’s Market Board of Directors at 386-462-2752.

Features This Month
Hunger Summit II & Hunger Abatement Plan
The growing number of people who are nutritionally “insecure” in Alachua County is being addressed at the community level. The co-chairs of six committees that developed the Gainesville-Alachua County Hunger Abatement Plan (HAP) describe food “security” as including “the ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, and an assured ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.” The Alachua County-City of Gainesville Hunger Summit II took place at the Trinity United Methodist Church on Wednesday, June 3, 2009. This hunger summit was a follow-up from the first, held on September 2008.
The first hunger summit launched the six committees that convened over a 9-month period to create the HAP. Around 70 individuals, many representing organizations, met and produced an action plan that consisted of 90 specific recommendations for reducing the number of nutritionally insecure residents in Alachua County. Included is a recommendation for the formation of a local association of nutrition assistance providers, which will help to coordinate local hunger abatement efforts and oversee the implementation of the recommendations.
The HAP includes such strategies as: coordinating local agency efforts for reaching individuals and families who are nutritionally insecure in our community, focusing on the reduction of stigmas associated with nutrition assistance and the communication of available food resources. The HAP also has strategies for increasing participation in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program. Strategies include: increasing local awareness, access to applications, and encouraging the State and Federal Government to increase the benefits allowed under the program. Other strategies involve the Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC), senior meals programs, school meals, summer meals for children, and increasing access to fresh produce.
The HAP was presented to the community in its entirety at the Hunger Summit II, which was co-chaired by Alachua County Commissioner Rodney J. Long and Gainesville Mayor Pageen Hanrahan. Among the 100 people who attended were citizens, local agency members, and elected officials. They included: State Representative Lenard Bembry, Gainesville City Commissioner Jack Donovan, Newberry Mayor Harry Nichols, City of Alachua Mayor Bonnie Burgess and City of Alachua Commissioner Gary Hardacre, and staff from the offices of State Representative Speaker Larry Cretul, State Representative Debbie Boyd and State Representative Charles “Chuck” Chestnut.
The HAP will be presented to both the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Gainesville Commission in the near future for its adoption.

The 2009 Florida 4-H State Legislature was held on June 22-26 in Tallahassee, FL. Over 180 youth, ages 14-18, from across the state participated in this leadership program. Alachua County was represented by four 4-H members: Amanda McIntosh, Mallory Vanyo, Katherine Henry-Hettel, and Kayleigh Hinson.
Florida 4-H State Legislature is a civic and leadership program where youth actively participate in the legislator decision-making process. State Legislature is a five day learning laboratory in state government designed to give participants educational experiences such as learning about the functions of state level government, becoming informed about the state system of government, serving as mock legislators, reporters or lobbyists, meeting in the committee rooms of the House of Representatives and House Chambers, and touring the State Capitol and Supreme Court.

County Facilities Management’s Job Order Contracting
Alachua County Facilities Management is implementing a new project delivery system called Job Order Contracting (JOC). This new method of contracting should solve problems in finding quality construction work quickly for maintenance, repair, renovation, mechanical upgrades and other minor construction projects. Traditional bidding, complete with plans and specifications, and going through the standard bid process for each project has proven costly and time consuming.
The JOC system offers the County the following benefits:
JOC is a long-term contract bid by firms based on pricing from a Unit Price Book. The book reflects labor rates, construction material, and construction procurement costs in the area. This allows the County the opportunity to evaluate each contractor on performance and qualifications knowing that the fixed price has already been established. Once a contractor has been accepted, the County will be given projects in a work order format.
For more information, please contact the Alachua County Department of Facilities Management at 352-374-5229.
The Food Stamp Help Line in Alachua County began in December 2008, after the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) approved spending $14,973 for its temporary operation through June 2009, as recommended by their Poverty Reduction Advisory Board. Due to the success of the help line, the Department of Children & Families (DCF) is supporting the help line number beyond the time period funded by the BoCC.
The Food Stamp Help Line intends to provide Alachua County residents with a solution to some of the challenges that residents may face with using the current system. An increase in applications statewide has increased the wait times in lobbies and with the ACCESS call centers in Florida. The help line helps with obtaining applications and finding locations near the caller where they can apply for Food Stamps. Additionally, the help line assists with questions about the Food Stamp process, policies, and simple case-specific questions, and refers callers to additional services in their area.
Amy K. Butler, the ACCESS Program Administrator at DCF, provided an update to the BoCC in April on the help line during its first three months of service, where 821 calls were received. A sample of the data was examined for the first two months of the service demonstrating that $40,968 would be brought into Alachua County through the new participants’ benefits. The cost of operating the help line from December through February was only $5,133, which demonstrated a tangible benefit to having the help line. It is expected that within the next few months, a new update will be provided to the BoCC on the overall success of the Food Stamp Help Line project.
You can access the help line by calling 352-955-5338.
With the recent rainfall and warming trend, mosquitoes will increase in numbers and activity. In order to reduce your chances of being bitten and thus reduce the risk of acquiring a mosquito borne disease, remember these basic tips:
The Alachua County Forever Program has proven to be very successful in allocating funds for land conservation. One of the well-documented successes is its ability to leverage non-County taxpayer dollars. To date, the County has been able to raise two dollars of non-County taxpayer dollars for each dollar of local tax spent on the Acquisition List.
The Program has been even more successful leveraging Stewardship dollars. For the last fiscal year, the resource management budget for the Program was $62,000. Using that as seed money for grants and staff time for coordination, the Program was able to offset $484,607 in stewardship costs. Almost eight dollars returned in non-County taxpayer dollars for every general fund dollar invested.
There are many ways the program has creatively offset its costs. It has negotiated agreements with the St. Johns River Water Management District and the City of Gainesville to manage jointly owned sites. It used License Agreements with neighbors, hunters, previous lease holders and tenants to continue their care and stewardship of the property on the taxpayers’ behalf. Program staff has hosted Community Service Workers and volunteer groups at special events, often on weekends, to pull weeds and exotic plants, clear trash and re-plant native vegetation.
A goal of the program in the coming year is to build a Volunteer Conservation Corps where staff is able to match interested groups and individuals to tasks and sites. To volunteer yourself or a group, please contact the Alachua County Forever Program at landconservation@alachuacounty.us or 352-264-6800.
“To do this on our own would be cost-prohibitive, inefficient and perhaps even a little selfish,” said Ramesh Buch, Program Manager, Alachua County Forever. He continued, “Each of these relationships benefits the County not only in avoiding a direct cost but also to build a sense of place and strengthen our shared commitment to that investment. So we thank our partners and those in the community who have volunteered their time and energy, and we look forward to continuing our (new) tradition of rooting people in the ground.”
The Alachua County Extension Office is pleased to announce a cooking class on August 6, 2009, and runs from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30. This class will be held at the Extension office (2800 NE 39th Avenue, Gainesville). It is designed for both advanced and beginning cooks.
Please pre-register for one or all of these classes by calling 352-337-6209 (voicemail).
For more information, contact Brenda Williams, Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, at 352-955-2402.

This year’s theme is, “Towards Independence: Employability, Technology & Quality of Life” and will focus on employment, and availability of quality of life options for individuals with disabilities.
Individuals will also be able to register with Alachua County Emergency Management for special needs assistance in the event of a hurricane or disaster. Participants are invited to experience accessible voting machines, hosted by the Supervisor of Elections Office.
Free transportation will be available for persons with special needs.
For more information, contact the Alachua County Equal Opportunity Office 352-374-5275, or the City of Gainesville Office of Equal Opportunity 352-393-8481.
