I. Comments on Estimated Revenues and Other Receipts A. Ad Valorem Taxes: The millages proposed to fund the 2018-19 tentative budgets are
as follows:
Estimates of the total taxable property values for 2018, which were prepared by the Marion County Property Appraiser for budget planning purposes in accordance with the provisions of Section 200.065(8), were used in computing the millage rates and estimated revenue figures for all currently existing taxing entities listed above. Final certified taxable values are required to be prepared by the Property Appraiser and submitted to each Marion County Taxing Entity on or before July 1, 2018. Upon receipt of this information, it will be necessary to make any revisions to the above revenue estimates that result from recalculating estimated ad valorem tax revenues utilizing the final certified taxable values.

Any percentage increase in the taxes proposed over the rolled back rate must be advertised in a display ad prior to adoption of the budget. In as much as estimated property values were used in preparing this document, we are unable to calculate the fiscal year 2018-19 aggregate rolled back amount pending receipt of final certified taxable values from the Property Appraiser. At that time, the calculation must by law be made in the aggregate, using the sum of the countywide levies plus all dependent special district levies. The proposed 2.25 mill levy for the Rainbow Lakes Estates Municipal Service District, an independent taxing district, is excluded from the calculation. The countywide millage for Debt Service is not levied for Parks and Land acquisition in 2018-19 as the debt was paid in 2017-18. There are also statutory limits on the amount of ad valorem tax revenue that the County may levy. Upon receipt of final taxable values, we will provide the Board with details of maximum millage levy calculations.
B. Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Revenues: As presented, the proposed budget includes non-Ad Valorem special assessment revenues that will be collected by the tax collector as a part of the tax bill process. Final adoption of the various special assessment rates will be coordinated by the County’s office of MSTU's and Assessments. The assessment levy amounts included within the budget document, other than those amounts associated with the County’s various road assessment programs, are as follows:

D. County Revenue Sharing: The estimated proceeds of County Revenue Sharing as distributed from the State of Florida have been budgeted in the amount of $9,313,411 within the General Fund.

F. Recording Fees: An estimated $610,000 of fees charged upon recording of documents in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court have been included in the proposed budget. These funds are distributed between the County’s General Fund and Fine & Forfeiture Fund and have been appropriated for court related technology costs. Appropriation of these funds is within the limited purposes set forth in Florida Statutes. This revenue source is a result of enacting legislation related to revisions to Article V of the Florida Constitution. The total requested budget for court related technology costs is $1,694,441 which is $1,020,108 more than the estimated $610,000 of related fees and $64,333 reimbursement from Sumter County that will be funded from the County’s general revenue.

School Resource Officers: The County Commission, the Sheriff, and the School Board are currently in negotiations to amend the School Resource Officer agreement currently in place for July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. A draft of the amended agreement reflects that additional payment of $226,549 for increased services would be due from the School Board. The associated costs for these services are included in the 2017-18 amended budget. The amended agreement remains in negotiation and that amount is not reflected as anticipated revenue in the MSTU for Law Enforcement for fiscal year 2017-18. Upon either an executed amendment to the current agreement or receipt of payment, the proposed 2018-19 MSTU for Law Enforcement property tax rate would be reduced by an approximate 0.02 mills.
Additionally, a draft School Resource Officer agreement for July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 reflects payment from the School Board of $3,065,443 due in County fiscal year 2018-19 for the 2018-19 school year. The associated costs for these services are included and apportioned among the County fiscal year 2017-18 amended budget for the beginning of the 2018-19 school year and County fiscal year 2018-19 proposed budget for the remainder of the 2018-19 school year. The County fiscal year 2018-19 proposed budget also includes costs associated with such services for the beginning of the 2019-20 school year. That 2018-19 agreement remains in negotiation and that amount is not reflected as anticipated revenue in the MSTU for Law Enforcement for fiscal year 2018-19. Rather, the 2018-19 budget reflects anticipated revenue of $814,330; the same amount as reflected in the original 2017-18 agreement. Upon reaching an executed amendment in the amount of $3,065,443; the additional $2,252,113 of anticipated revenue would reduce the proposed 2018-19 MSTU for Law Enforcement property tax rate by an approximate 0.18 mills. AB. Beginning Fund Balance (or Retained Earnings) Carried Forward: These amounts are defined as the amounts expected to be remaining at the end of the current 2017-18 fiscal year. These amounts are generally used to fund the various 2018-19 fiscal year budgets until receipt of Ad Valorem Tax and non-Ad Valorem per parcel assessment revenues, which normally occurs late in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

The proposed budget includes a 3% adjustment to Regular Salaries and Wages for Merit pay for the Board of County Commissioners and the LiUNA Union members and the wage restructuring included in the Fire Rescue Collective Bargaining Unit contract approved on June 5, 2018 that is effective on October 1, 2018.
In addition to gross salary, the Board pays for several employee benefit programs, including a portion of the cost of employee participation in the Florida Retirement System. The proposed budget includes tentative Florida Retirement System Contribution rates of 8.26% of gross salary for regular employees, 24.5% of gross salary for all special risk employees (including paid firefighters, law enforcement and corrections officers), 24.06% of gross salary for senior management employees, and 48.7% for elected county officials. The retirement contribution rates utilized in the proposed 2018-19 budget are those rates in effect beginning July 1, 2018. In addition to the above employer contribution rates, employees are required to contribute 3% of their gross salary for participation in the Florida Retirement System. The Board also pays the employers matching portion of Social Security contributions (currently 7.65% of gross salary), as well as the cost of county provided employee health care coverage at a proposed rate of $10,094 per employee annually.

C. Indigent Health Care Costs: There are a number of appropriations included within the proposed budget that relate to the provision of indigent health care services, including the following:
The amount appropriated for the Marion County Health Department is funded through a separate countywide property tax levy, and is accounted for within the Marion County Health Department Fund. All other indigent health care costs are funded from the County’s General Fund. D. Insurance Fund Allocations: The cost of the majority of both self insurance claims and insurance premiums are funded from the County’s Insurance Fund. Revenue for the Insurance Fund is derived mainly through insurance allocations charged to the various operating departments and Constitutional Officers of the County. The proposed amounts to be allocated are arrived through analysis of a combination of factors including; estimates of costs for insurance premiums and self insurance claims as provided by the Risk Management department and previous cost and allocation history for each of the various risk categories. The cost of employee health care is allocated at a fixed dollar amount level per coverage, by type (employee or dependent). The cost of employee life insurance is allocated based upon actual salary dollars which corresponds to the amount of insurance coverage provided to each employee. Workers’ Compensation costs are allocated based on actual salary dollars factored by various occupational classification rates. These rates are calculated in proportion to rates that are provided by the State of Florida, Department of Labor and Employment Security, Division of Workers’ Compensation. The rates are further adjusted based on Marion County claims experience within each of the various occupational classifications. The cost of general liability coverage is allocated to the various operating departments based on the relative expenditure level of their respective total operating budgets of the prior fiscal year. The cost for the several categories of vehicle insurance coverage is allocated based on a calculation of relative risk for various departments and agencies as determined by the Risk Management department. The costs of property insurance coverage are allocated to the

various operating departments based on the relative book value of fixed assets as assigned to the operating departments in the County’s financial records. E. Budgeted Interfund Transfers: As presented, the proposed budget contains a number of budgeted transfers between funds. Other than the routine transfers of funds associated with the County’s road assessment program, the transfers are as follows:
1. $104,960 from the Fine & Forfeiture Fund to the General Fund as a countywide funded reimbursement for a portion of the costs of Law Enforcement related Public Safety Communications. 2. $2,394,084 from the MSTU for Law Enforcement to the General Fund as a reimbursement for the costs of MSTU for Law Enforcement related Public Safety Communications. 3. $1,106,092 from the Fire Rescue Services Fund to the General Fund as a reimbursement for the costs of Fire Rescue Services related Public Safety Communications. 4. $37,399 from the General Fund for year two of three to the Dunnellon Airport Authority Fund to provide reimbursement for land sales and provide matching grant funds for airport capital improvements. 5. $900,447 from the General Fund to the Medical Examiner Fund for Marion County’s cost share of the multi-county funded Medical Examiner’s office. 6. $598,970 from the General Fund to the Fire Rescue Services Fund for Fire Rescue Fund personnel costs that represents the portion of dual certified positions serving the ambulance function funded in the General Fund. 7. $123,413 from Rainbow Park Units 1&2 Road Maintenance to the Transportation Fund that represents year four of four of a reimbursement for capital expenditures related to Road Improvements. 8. $54,275 to the General Fund to pay year two of four of the debt service costs for the Enterprise Resource Program’s capital equipment. Transfers include $10,847 Transportation Maintenance Fund, $1,924 Building Fund, $1,276 Tourist Development Fund, $5,949 Parks and Recreation Fees Fund, $760 State Housing Initiative Partnership Fund, $6,984 Fire Rescue Fund, $1,377 Storm Water Program Fund, $6,222 Solid Waste Fund, $15,425 Utilities Fund, 3,511 Insurance Fund.
F. Cost Allocation: The County’s cost allocation plan identifies central services costs which utilize countywide general revenue funds yet benefit other operations not funded through general revenue. As a reimbursement for such countywide funded expenditures, $5,439,111 is included in the budget as anticipated revenue for the General Fund. This revenue is provided through corresponding Central Services Cost Allocation charges included in the operating budgets not funded through general revenue to provide for payment of services provided.
June 19, 2018 Page 21
Total charges for Central Services and other Administrative Services to most of the smaller Municipal Service Taxing/Benefit Units have been limited to 8% of Tax/Assessment revenues appropriated. These percentage limits are consistent with the stated limits historically included in many of the MSTU/MSBU enabling ordinances (some ordinances establish no limit and the Fire Rescue ordinance now allows for as much as 10%). As a result, total actual allocation charges are somewhat less than total Central Service costs identified.
G. Juvenile Detention: The Fine & Forfeiture Fund includes $1,394,025 for the costs
associated with transferring the housing of Juveniles to the State of Florida. H. Reserves for Contingencies: Amounts included in the proposed fiscal year 2018-19 budget
as compared to the fiscal year 2017-18 adopted budget are as follows:
Fund reserves provide two primary purposes in a local government budget: 1) A reserve for cash carry forward is necessary to ensure that there will be a sufficient unexpended cash fund balance remaining at the end of a fiscal year. This provides available funds for cash outflows in excess of cash inflows that occur at the beginning of the following fiscal year. In funds that utilize Property Taxes and/or Special Assessments as a primary operating revenue source, the amount of fund balance necessary to have on hand for beginning of the year operating expenses can be significant. Such revenues are received on an annual basis with substantial collections beginning after mid-November. It is necessary to have an amount of cash on hand at the October 1 start of the fiscal year that equates to approximately two months of Property Tax and Special Assessment operating revenue. The General Fund requires a substantial reserve for cash carry forward as Property Taxes are the single largest source of revenue in this fund. 2) A reserve for contingencies provides a necessary set aside of cash that is available for unexpected funding requirements. Local government's responsibility to provide services is

relatively inflexible in regards to both maintaining routine public services and providing additional services during catastrophic events. Likewise, local government revenue sources are also relatively inflexible within a given fiscal year as there is no opportunity to reset annual tax or assessment rates and most other major revenue sources are statutorily set or limited. Many County funds may have minimal reserves for contingency and such reserves may be limited in their authorized use. However, the General Fund is that fund that is expected to maintain ready reserves for a variety of unforeseen circumstances. I. Other Reserves: In addition to Reserves for Contingencies, there are several other reserves included within the proposed budget. Following are those reserves contained in the proposed budget which we feel are worthy of mention:
1. $616,036 has been reserved in the General Fund, Marion County Public Library System Department, Reserve for Book Endowment. The amount represents unexpended contributions made to the County for specified expenditures within the Library System. 2. In the Solid Waste Disposal Fund, a total of $8,334,494 has been reserved in an account entitled "Reserve for Future Land Purchase". This amount represents a portion of landfill user fees and solid waste disposal special assessments set aside annually beginning in fiscal year 1993-94 for the purpose of creating a source for the future purchase of solid waste disposal site(s), pursuant to the direction of the Board.
J. Other Non-Operating: Other Non-operating accounts of note:
1. The Building Department Fund has $2,442,570 identified for Building Code Enforcement. This amount represents prepaid fees that are set aside to ensure that funds are available to complete the processing of existing permits and inspections.
2. $1,500,000 is included in the Solid Waste Fund as a provision for Landfill Closure. 3. $1,434,699 identified as Tourism Initiatives in the Tourist Development Fund.
III. General Administrative Comments The following general comments are presented to provide for a more efficient use of the information included in the budget document and to relate special items that we feel will be beneficial.
A. The countywide budget includes all items that are required and/or requested to be funded by the Marion County Board of County Commissioners that generally benefit all of the citizens of Marion County. The tentative budgets of municipal service taxing units established by the Board of County Commissioners, or by Special Act of the Florida Legislature, which benefit only those citizens residing in certain areas, (i.e. unincorporated areas) are also included in the budget document as listed in the first section of this letter. B. The fund entities used in the presentation of this budget document and in the maintenance of the Board's accounting records are basically the result of the following factors:
1. Statutory provisions requiring creation of specific fund entities (i.e. the County Transportation Trust Fund). 2. Statutory provisions regulating the utilization of certain sources of funds (i.e. 80% Gas Tax Funds).
June 19, 2018 Page 23
3. Statutory provisions requiring certain services.
4. Generally Accepted Governmental Accounting Principles as promulgated by the National Committee on Governmental Accounting, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and required by Section 218.32(1 )(a) , Florida Statutes.
C. Proposed Budget Calendar: The timetable for completion of the 2018-19 budget adoption process is as shown in the budget calendar included as a part of this budget document. Significant future events in the budget adoption process are as follows:
1. Tuesday, June 19, 2018 - Presentation of the tentative fiscal year 2018-19 countywide and dependent special districts' budgets.
2. Beginning Wednesday; June 20, 2018, and concluding not later than Friday, August 4, 2018 - Budget work sessions to review the proposed fiscal year 2018-19 budgets. County Commission staff has set aside several dates throughout the month of July which are available for the scheduling of budget workshops as may be needed.
3. On or before Saturday, August 4, 2018 - Conclude budget work sessions and notify the Property Appraiser of:
a. The proposed millage rates for fiscal year 2018-19;
b. The rolled back millage rate for fiscal year 2018-19; and
c. The date, time, and place of the public hearings to consider adoption of the fiscal year 2018-19 proposed millage rates and tentative budgets.
4. Thursday, September 6, 2018 - public hearings to consider adoption of the tentative budgets and proposed millage rates for fiscal year 2018-19.
5. Thursday, September 20, 2018 - public hearings to consider final adoption of the fiscal year 2018-19 budgets and millage rates.
The above comments are intended to clarify areas in which we felt additional information was necessary. If there are any other questions concerning the proposed budget as presented, we would be pleased to discuss those questions with you , or to explain any of the procedures followed in the preparation of the budget document.

Division: County Commission
DESCRIPTION:The Board of County Commissioners is the primary legislative and policy-making body for Marion County. Each commissioner represents one of the five districts in which they reside. They are elected by all county voters to serve a four-year term. The board elects a chairman and vice-chairman each year.
Commissioners hear and vote on a variety of issues. Whether enacting ordinances and resolutions or approving budgets and expenditures, this board has the responsibility to provide for the safety and welfare of all Marion County residents.
The Board of County Commissioners' overall operating budget includes the county administrator and 24 departments and offices and is funded through General County Ad Valorem taxes and other revenue sources.

Marion County's population growth has challenged us to find innovative and resourceful funding options for the increasing demand on services. Building public/private partnerships is one option which has proven to be our most successful.

Public Safety
Division: 9-1-1 Emergency System
MISSION:It is the mission of the 9-1-1 Management Division of Public Safety Communications to ensure that when a citizen dials 9-1-1 from a telephone, the 9-1-1 call is routed to the correct Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and accurate information appears on the enhanced 9-1-1 screen – in particular, the caller’s name, address, telephone number and proper emergency response agencies.
DESCRIPTION:In support of our mission, this division addresses all of Marion County and acts as a focal point for street sign requests and any other items which would help locate our citizens in the event of an emergency. We constantly monitor, correct and update the Enhanced 9-1-1 Database, which has over 200,000 records from more than thirty telephone companies.
This division also directly supports the PSAPs by providing 9-1-1 service and equipment, keeping pace with the newest technological demands and ensuring adherence to the Florida Emergency Telephone Act and the Florida State 9-1-1 Plan.
GOALS:The 9-1-1 Management Division is in the process of upgrading the 9-1-1 System to implement Text-to-911. Text-to-911 is the ability to send a text message to reach 911 emergency services from your mobile phone or device. Texting during an emergency could be helpful if you are deaf, hard of hearing, have a speech disability, or if a voice call to 911 might otherwise be dangerous or impossible. But if you are able to make a voice call to 911, and if it is safe to do so, you should always make a voice call to 911.
MISSION:The Radio Division maintains the 800 MHz, UHF, and VHF radio systems infrastructure. We manage, and support all internal and external radio system users. We strive to provide reliable radio systems operation of 100% uptime for First Responders and public safety support personnel. We respond 24/7 to all Public Safety trouble calls and requests for service. The division supports the State of Florida’s Law Enforcement (SLERs), Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Regional Domestic Security Task Force (RDSTF) interoperability communications plans. The division works tirelessly to increase interoperable communications partnerships between Marion, and our surrounding counties.

MISSION:The primary mission of the Building Safety Department is to ensure the health, safety, and public welfare of the built environment in Marion County by enforcing the State required Laws and Rules, the Florida Building Code and related Marion County Ordinances in the most effective and efficient manner.
DESCRIPTION:Marion County Building Department provides a wide range of services to the citizens and builders of our County. The department is responsible for the enforcement and compliance of the Florida Building Code, State Laws and Rules, County Ordinances and other construction-related codes. In addition, this department assists licensed contractors, cites unlicensed contractors and holds monthly License Review Board meetings.
• The Building Director serves as the County's Building Official and is responsible for managing the overall operations of the department. • The Permitting and Licensing division is responsible for providing customer assistance, processing permits, property analysis searches, verification of contractors’ licensing credentials and insurance requirements. • The Inspector and Plans Review division is responsible for ensuring construction projects are reviewed and built in compliance with State Codes, Statutes and Local Ordinances; to include identifying unsafe structures and performing safety assessment inspections after storms and other related disasters. • The Licensing & Permitting Investigators are responsible for investigating complaints and/or citing of potential building code and licensed/unlicensed contractor violations, citing actual violations and presenting code case violations to the License Review Board as required.• The Business Manager (and Fiscal Coordinator) are responsible for monitoring the financial status of the department, reconciling of all monthly invoices and requisition maintenance, acting as liaison and power users for all IT related programs, and preparation of the annual budget. • The Administrative Staff Assistant provides administrative support for the Building Director and department as a whole, communicates with Administration as a liaison to the Building Department, performs HR and Payroll functions, purchases equipment and supplies as required, provides assistance to the Business Manager and acts as a backup to those functions, as needed.
GOALS:The Building Safety Department’s primary goals for FY18/19 are to continue to streamline workflows to improve efficiency and to provide training for all staff to increase their technical knowledge and customer service skills.
Customer Service: Provide customers with checklists and instructions to ensure both electronic and paper permit applications are complete and ready for processing. Plans Review Process: Continue to train customers and staff on the use of ProjectDox in an effort to establish E-Plans as the standard method for submission of permit applications with plans. This process flow has had an encouraging beginning and has been well-received by the public; we need to continue to improve upon this service. Future consideration will be given to offering the option of expedited plans reviews. Inspection process: Offer true next day inspections and reduce the dependancy of an inspection cap. Future options are to offer AM/PM inspection times for customers for inspections which are time sensitive or dependant upon weather conditions.
Communication: Contractor meetings will be held to discuss new code requirements and address problems or complaints, as well as the introduction of bi-monthly newsletter as another means to communicate with our customers.
Technology: Provide customer training on the use of County/Department websites to research permit information themselves and reduce the volume of calls to the office. Offer a calendar on our website to allow inspections to be scheduled up to 30 days in advance. Future projects will be to automate certain permit types.

Division: Building Inspections
Permit Process: Streamline the permit processes to eliminate needless tasks and duplication of work.
Public Education: Develop programs to provide knowledge of current codes and local ordinances through media, literature and seminar courses. Schedule public meetings to inform contactors/customers of new code updates, department policies and services. Future improvements will be continuing education for contractors.
Departmental Training: Enroll staff in approved cross-training programs to obtain additional licenses, which will provide managers the flexibility to reassign staff within the Inspector and Plan Review divisions, as required during peak workloads. Initiate a Permit Technician Certification course for Permitting staff to provide additional knowledge of construction requirements.
Administration: A major goal for the coming year(s) is to embrace and enact the use of new Tyler technologies software applications, the first of which will be for payroll and time keeping functions.
COMMENTS:This budget continues the department restructure that was approved on January 16, 2018. Staffing levels will be increased from 45 to 60 authorized positions (after phase 2 implementation). There will be an adjustment in the revenues and expenditures due to additional personnel and operating costs associated with the restructuring and new fee resolution that was adopted on February 20, 2018. Contracted Services will be used to augment peak workloads, as required, to maintain performance measures established by the Building Department.

The Animal Center serves as a one-stop shop for animal services, and is open from Tuesday – Saturday to better accommodate citizens and their work schedules. To improve customer service and safety, MCAS expanded and divided the Animal Center lobby into three separate sections – intake, outtake, and waiting areas. The facility provides a friendly environment for citizens to look for lost pets, relinquish unwanted pets, or adopt a new companion animal.
Animal Control staff members are trained professionals tasked with the enforcement of local and state laws and ordinances relating to animals. Officers and Compliance Officials respond to more than 10,000 complaints and more than 12,000 follow up visits each year involving animal control and care issues. Some of the complaints involve cruelty, dangerous dog investigations, aggressive attacks, stray animals and nuisance pets.

MISSION:Increase the quality of life for the underserved community by funding community development projects, affordable housing projects, case management, and assisting agencies. We serve our residents with respect and integrity by funding programs and agencies which promote healthy and vibrant communities.
DESCRIPTION:Marion County, as an entitlement community, receives annual funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the form of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The County also receives State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP) funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation annually.
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) allowed the County to receive Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP 1) funds, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2010 (ARRA) allowed the County to receive additional Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP 3) funds. The NSP 1 & 3 funds were provided as a one-time assistance to local governments, and program income revenue is currently collected and expended on housing development.
The County, in conjunction with the City of Ocala, formed the Home Consortium allowing the City the ability to receive HOME funding they would otherwise not qualify for, to address affordable housing needs through acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation of homes and rental properties.
As an entitlement community, Marion County is required to prepare a 5-Year Consolidated Plan, an Assessment of Fair Housing Plan, an Annual Action Plan (AAP), a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), as well as a 3-Year Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP), identifying community needs, measurable goals, and performance measures.
GOALS:1. Provide Marion County residents with the knowledge and understanding of our programs and services by providing exceptional customer service in person, on the phone, via email, public outreach events, brochures and social media, as well as through the Marion County Community Services website. 2. Promote long-term sustainability and enhanced quality of life for low and moderate income persons through funding of infrastructure improvements and public services.3. Expand affordable homeownership opportunities by providing down payment and closing costs assistance to qualified Marion County residents.4. Increase the affordable housing inventory with HOME funds through acquisition, renovation and/or new construction of homes and/or rental properties.5. Provide low income households with safe and decent housing conditions through housing rehabilitation and emergency repairs.6. Foster partnerships with local agencies and homeless service providers to promote rental housing, rent/utility assistance and case management to provide stability to individuals and families who are homeless or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless.

MISSION:The Marion County Office of Economic and Small Business Development provides professional and innovative economic development services and resources designed to encourage capital investment and job creation and serves as the County’s liaison to other federal, state and local governments, non-profits and business development interests.
DESCRIPTION:In 2009, the Board of County Commissioners created the Office of Sustainable Growth as part of the outcome of the County Administrator’s “Doing More with Less” Report. Originally serving as the County’s effort to coordinate economic development activities, the Office has served as a key partner with the City of Ocala and the Ocala/Marion County Economic Development Corporation in coordinating new business recruitment as well as local business retention and expansion programming.
In the two years since its origin, the Office has supported and coordinated public investment in new business ventures including the relocation of IHMC, Fire Programs software company and Scorpion Performance, the new campus expansion of Rasmussen College, the expansion of Lockheed Martin, Atheros, Santelli Glass, Signature Brands, a start-up hydroponic tomato greenhouse company American Fresh Farms, Integrated Manufacturing, the support of infrastructure projects for The Refuge Foundation and ProPoly of America, and the potential relocation of CitraPac, a frozen dessert manufacturer. Earlier in 2010, the Office managed and facilitated the Recovery Zone Facilities Bond Program resulting from the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. This federal program provided $10.187 million in federal bonding authority that was used to support the overall financing of more than $16 million expansion of Ocala based Cone Distributing, Inc.
In September 2010, the Board of County Commissioners renamed the Office of Sustainable Growth to its current name, the Office of Economic & Small Business Development to better reflect the work being conducted. While the Office plays a participating role along with the Ocala/Marion County Economic Development Corporation, the City of Ocala and the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce in promoting the communities efforts to recruit new industry and support the expansion of the county’s existing businesses; it also plays an important internal role of coordinating and supporting development initiatives with the various departments and offices within Marion County Government.
GOALS:1. To provide oversight for the implementation of a new business recruitment program to encourage new employment, capital investment, and tax base for the county.2. To provide long-term economic development strategic planning and oversight management for elements contained in the “Doing More for JOBS” initiatives.3. Manage the County’s Economic Development Financial Incentive Grant Program (EDFIG) and coordinate payments and related obligations with contracted business partners and professional service providers.4. Assist in the development of new and existing Industrial Business Park.5. Work with the City of Ocala, Economic Development Corporation, Ocala/Marion Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development Council, CLM Workforce and the College of Central Florida to develop economic development opportunities.6.

MISSION:The mission of the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau is to lead, market and grow our County’s travel and tourism industry, cultivating greater prosperity for the entire community as measured by visitor spending, countywide visitor taxes collected and tourism industry job growth.
DESCRIPTION:A Visitors & Convention Bureau (VCB) is a non-profit destination marketing organization dedicated to increasing visitor activity and thereby enhancing the local economy. VCBs got their start in the early 1900s when a group of Detroit business leaders launched an initiative to bring more meetings to their city. Many VCBs are 501(c)(6) nonprofit organizations, some (about 5 percent) are part of the area’s Chamber of Commerce and still others—like the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau—are part of local government.
VCBs play an important role in Florida’s economy, where tourism is the number one industry and a major reason why there is no state income tax. In Marion County in particular, travel and tourism supports thousands of jobs and adds millions of dollars to the economy at all levels.
According to Downs and St. Germain’s research study on Economic Impact of Out-of-State Visitor Spending in Marion County from April 2016-March 2017, • Visitors to Marion County created a total economic impact of $1,001,006,900. • Out-of-town visitor spending in Marion County reached $658,557,200, an increase of 12.6 percent over the same time period from April 2014-March 2015. • On average, out-of-town visitors spent $1,341 in direct expenditures for the entire trip that spanned 3.9 nights. • Out-of-town tourism in Marion County generated $2,667,013 in tourist development tax. • In the absence tourist development taxes generated by tourism, each Marion County household would need to pay $550 extra property taxes to maintain the current level of government services. • Out-of-town visitor spending supported 11,862 Marion County jobs, an increase of 12% over the same time period from April 2014-March 2015.
In 2004, a County Ordinance created a two percent Tourist Development Tax on transient accommodations that is used to help support and grow the local tourism industry. The Marion County Board of County Commissioners formed a nine-member volunteer Tourist Development Council (TDC), pursuant to State Statute 125.0104, to oversee the application of these funds to attract leisure, business and sports tourism to our community. In 2015, two County Ordinances were adopted to collect the 3rd and 4th percent of Tourist Development Tax on transient accommodations.
Functioning as the TDC’s operational arm, the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau attends trade shows and sales conferences, works with community groups and responds to visitor and group-travel inquiries. The VCB also utilizes the resources of marketing communications consultants to develop and implement a wide array of research and promotional strategies, as well as domestic and international sales and public relations initiatives.
GOALS:At the Ocala/Marion County Visitors and Convention Bureau, our goal is to enhance the local economy by using intelligent, innovative and research-driven methods to attract more visitor dollars and grow our local tourism industry. A primary objective of the VCB is to continue to raise awareness of the County as a viable vacation destination. Additional objectives include infusing fresh dollars into the local economy and contributing to Marion County’s overall prosperity through strategies, programs, tools and tactics that include:• Creating and implementing a fully integrated, research driven marketing communications plan to drive increased qualified visits to the website that drive leads for partners. This involves a coordination of all media, public relations, social and events tactics and timing.• Identifying times of low occupancy shoulder periods that have potential to improve through tactical short-term

promotions.• Continuing the strategic influencer marketing program including journalists, bloggers and other content creators in order to increase the total impressions delivered to our targeted audience through the media plan year over year.

Fiscal Year 2019 Proposed Budget
Public Works
Division: Office of Special Assessments
MISSION:The mission of the MSTU/Assessment Department is to implement and administer road assessment projects, from petition to completion of construction, including providing inspections, project management, and management of revenues and funding; to implement and administer MSTUs (Municipal Service Taxing Units) and MSBUs (Municipal Service Benefit Units) including management of property tax records; management of tax records for Fire, Solid Waste and Stormwater MSBUs; management of MSTUs and MSBUs throughout Marion County including annual required public hearings, bulk mailings, and daily mail services for 20+ County departments including maintenance of metered postage accounts with monthly reporting to the departments.
DESCRIPTION:The MSTU/Assessment Department was created in FY 1992/93 by an official action of the Board of County Commissioners for the purpose of assisting the public with improvements to roads within subdivisions throughout Marion County. The department also has the responsibility of implementing MSTUs and MSBUs for municipal services that are desired such as street lighting, mowing, pothole repairs, landscaping enhancements, road maintenance, road and drainage improvements, and recreation services and facilities. The affected properties within defined areas are assessed for services and revenues collected can only be used within the boundaries of the service area. These revenues fund services and employees who work in these areas as well as the MSTU Department; the department director is the appointed staff liaison for all of the MSTUs and MSBUs in place with the exception of Fire, Solid Waste and Stormwater which are managed by those departments.
Prior to the adoption of the first assessment ordinance the County had no assistance to offer to property owners that wanted to improve their roads or drainage except from the taxpayers at large. Today Marion County has a program that offers property owners in communities, subdivisions, and most defined areas, a means to improve their roads.
The first assessment was implemented in Marion County in 1984 in the Oakview Subdivision.
Property owners participate in the process by paying up to the first $500.00 in mailing costs and submitting an initial petition signed by no less than 10% of the affected property owners which allows the MSTU/Assessment Department to send petitions by certified mail to all of the property owners.
MSTUs (Municipal Service Taxing Units) and MSBUs (Municipal Service Benefit Units) have been in existence since the first Municipal Service District was implemented by the Florida Legislature in 1969 for Rainbow Lakes Estates. These programs enable defined areas to provide enhanced services of benefit to their communities with revenue generated from assessments levied within their areas.
The greatest advantage of the special assessment program is that the improvements within communities are paid for by those who benefit from the improvements.
GOALS:To provide quality, efficient, and cost-effective customer service to Marion County property owners while assisting them with improvements or services of benefit to them through a special assessment.

MISSION:The mission of the Marion County Airport is to promote aviation and foster economic development by strategically planning, developing, and providing quality aviation services and facilities for Marion County; in a safe, secure, and efficient manner.
DESCRIPTION:Provide aviation related services and support to the general public and commercial operators.
GOALS:Provide affordable services to based and itinerate aircraftImprove airport safetyProvide additional aircraft parking to accommodate varying sizes of aircraft and resolve traffic issues
MISSION:The Stormwater Program works to maintain regulatory compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and serves to protect and preserve our water resources and transportation network by addressing water quality and quantity issues.
DESCRIPTION:The Stormwater Program works to ensure compliance with Phase II of the federal Clean Water Act’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (or NPDES) Program through the implementation of best management practices (BMPs). Phase II of the NPDES Program includes addressing stormwater runoff from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4). Marion County is in its 15th year under a NPDES Small MS4 Generic Permit. In addition to the NPDES permit a requirement to address Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) allocations as determined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). TMDLs are based on the amount of pollutant loading a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards.
As part of the efforts described above to comply with regulations, the Stormwater Program implements a watershed management approach to identifying water quality and quantity needs throughout the County’s stormwater infrastructure. The watershed management approach results in the identification of capital retrofit projects that work to reduce pollutant loading to water resources and improve flooding and drainage issues along the transportation network.
Finally, a proactive scheduling approach is used to address operation and maintenance needs for the significant drainage infrastructure throughout the County.
Funding is achieved through a Non-Ad Valorem assessment on properties within the County.
GOALS:1. Improve the quality of our water resources through the development of the watershed management program and subsequent implementation of structural and nonstructural best management practices throughout Marion County.
2. Improve stormwater issues associated with transportation network and work to increase proactive maintenance and level of service.
3. Educate the community about best management practices they can implement to reduce nonpoint source and personal pollution and encourage a sense of stewardship for Marion County’s natural resources.

DESCRIPTION:Since 1991 when the county first gave Heart of Florida Heart Center (HFHC - then Community Health Services) the use of a county building at 1025 SW 1st Avenue, a partnership was formed to ensure that as many uninsured Marion County residents as could be seen would find a medical home at the health center. Over the years we have both made the partnership strong by providing support to each other on behalf of the thousands of patients we have served at the health center. In March, 2009 HFHC became a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), a long time goal of the BOCC and the HFHC Board of Directors. Federal funding has allowed us to strengthen our adult practice by providing access to Medicaid and Medicare recipients as well as open a pediatric practice for infants - 19 year olds, and begin providing mental health counseling for children and adults. We reached another milestone in 2009 when we ceased being a walk-in clinic that provided episodic care. HFHC now provides each patient with a medical home. Patients are encouraged to come in the health center for all their medical and mental health needs.
The Centers is considered to be a governmental (special-purpose government) non-profit organization that provides comprehensive mental health and substance abuse services. Fla Stat. 394.76 (9)(a) requires that state funds for these services be matched by local governing bodies.

Marion Senior Services, Inc. who operates Marion Transit is requesting the following budget to provide
rural transportation services to the citizens of Marion County who are transportation disadvantaged and require public transportation to meet their basic needs.
The requested budget provides local matching funds for the following transportation grants:
• FTA/FDOT 5311 Program Operating Funds for rural transit (100% match):
• FTA/FDOT 5310 Capital Funds for rural, elderly, disabled (10% match):
This budget request is a 5% decrease from the funds approved for FY2017-2018 budget. We recognize
that the Board of County Commissioners is faced with unforeseen expenses related to the safety of our schools and community. We feel this decrease will still allow us to meet our obligations and continue to
provide paratransit public transportation that is safe, reliable, and efficient to our citizens.

MARION COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BUDGET PRESENTATION NARRATIVE FORM FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 PROPOSED BUDGET
Department/Agency Name: Marion Soil & Water Conservation District
Description: The Marion Soil and Water Conservation District (MSWCD) is a governmental subdivision of the State of Florida funded by Marion County. The creation of soil and water conservation districts was authorized by the Soil and Water Conservation Law, Chapter 582, Florida Statues, enacted by the Florida Legislature in 1937. MSWCD was organized by a landowner petition for developing and implementing a conservation program of our water, soil and natural resources.
Goals: • Promote the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Cost Share Programs to local farmers and/or
ranchers. FDACS implements these programs through local districts and continues to expand funding every fiscal year. From 2012 to 2017, this cost share funding program netted $1,683,834 for Marion County. This year's funding will net over $561,250, bringing the overall cost share total to $2,245,084.
• Work with the Marion County Public Education Foundation establishing and implementing an environmental scholarship for Marion County high school seniors this fiscal year.
• Hold and attend public meetings, give presentations, exhibit displays and maintain the District's website, in order to identify natural resource concerns within the County and offer financial and technical support to address these concerns.
• Promote conservation education to all Marion County students, through our seven contests: Public Speaking, Poster, Found Art, Essay, Land Judging, Envirothon and Conservation Landscape Tray; all culminating to an outstanding student award: Youth Conservationist of the Year; as well as, three monetary awards for outstanding teachers (an elementary, middle school and high school teacher) who promote conservation to their students through participation in these programs. Expand Envirothon to include neighboring counties.
• Continue to expand the Farms of Environmental Distinction (FED) program (currently, in its tenth year) and the relationship with the Office of Agriculture Water Policy (OAWP) to educate and encourage landowners to comply with Best Management Practices (BMPs) and have producers sign a Notice of Intent to implement these BMPs.
• Participate in the Association of Florida Conservation District area and annual meetings, bringing together Soil and Water Conservation Districts, USDA Natural Resources Offices, and other stakeholders from around Florida. Participate in legislative affairs and concerns on a local, state and federal level, identifying natural resource concerns and Soil and Water Conservation District's role in addressing these concerns.
• Provide technical assistance through historical maps, presentations, aerial photographs, Plat Books, soil surveys, BMP Manuals, Mobile Irrigation Lab services; as well as, general conservation and natural resource informational materials.
• Continue our commitment to USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) by promoting and providing assistance to address local natural resource concerns and implementation of BMPs.
• Partner with FDACS and Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) to initiate a cost share program in the amount of $200,000 for equine composting in Marion County.
Comments: MSWCD's overall goal is to provide conservation outreach and education to the citizens and students of Marion County. We have partnered with various local, state and federal agencies and built on existing relationships to utilize as many in-kind and volunteer services as possible to enhance our outreach capabilities. Please note that although the MSWCD Board of Supervisors are Stateelected officials and serve on a voluntary basis. To achieve our goals, the Board and other committed volunteers have donated over 338 hours to serve the citizens of Marion County this past year. MSWCD will be able to maintain our budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year by continuing to utilize these valuable volunteers.

MARION SOIL ANO WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
2017-2022
LONG RANGE PLAN
In 1937, the Florida Legislature enacted the Soil and Water Conservation Law, Florida Statue,
Chapter 582, authorizing the creation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Districts were
organized for the purpose to develop and carry out a conservation program for the State's soil,
water, and related natural resources. Currently, the State of Florida has 58 Soil and Water
Conservation Districts.
The Ocklawaha Soil Conservation District was created on December 13, 1941 by landowner
petition and included part of Sumter County. The name of the District was changed on April 22,
1947, to Marion Soil Conservation District. In 1969 the Florida Legislature amended Chapter
582 stating that all districts would be known as Soil and Water Conservation Districts, thus the
present name of Marion Soil and Water Conservation District.
The United State Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service, provides
technical assistance to land users in cooperation and oversight from the Soil and Water
Conservation Districts. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of
Agriculture and Water Policy, assist the districts in all matters relating to the requirements of
the statute and other administrative duties. A district is under the control of five (5) elected
supervisors. The office of a supervisor is a non-paid, non-partisan official, representing the
entire county.
The Marion Soil and Water Conservation supervisors meet twice a month. The District's Regular
Board Meetings are scheduled for the second Tuesday of each month, and the District's
Workshops are scheduled the fourth Tuesday of each month. All meetings currently are
scheduled at 12:30 PM; however, the time of these meetings is subject to change depending on
the supervisors' schedules to accommodate a quorum. Currently the meetings are held at the
Ocala USDA Service Center's conference room; however, this location may change if the
conference room is unavailable. All meetings are noticed and open to the public.
PURPOSE The purpose of the Marion Soil and Water Conservation District is to provide leadership in the
conservation of the County's soil, water and related natural resources, through local
involvement and community education.

work for all five counties. It's 31% because Marion County generates 31% of the workload that the state attorney's office handles for the entire circuit. We use the case load percentage because we believe it is
the most equitable way of distributing the cost to each county. In addition to that we have two
employees based full time and working daily in the Marion County State Attorney's Office.
