Greetings Show Attendee and Alternate This letter is to confirm your commitment to the VISIT FLORIDA Region Area of Opportunity Consumer Show Program. The Tourism Task Force thanks you for your dedication. Hopefully, this will answer most of the questions you should have in regards to travel, dates, accommodations, per‐diem etc. You will be, as mentioned at the task force meeting in November, responsible upfront for your own transportation, lodging and meals and then be reimbursed by the Original Florida Tourism Task Force. I (Roland) will arrive early to each show, set‐up and in case of a long show (4 days or more), work one day alone. The first day of your arrival to the city in which the show is being held is not a work day for you, as travel is enough for an unpaid volunteer. We will meet the day of your arrival. You can contact me upon arrival by cell 325 231 2077. At the last Task Force meeting we picked shows we could attend. Should your availability change, it is your responsibility to contact the alternate for that show. Should both the primary and alternate be unavailable, I will work with Steve and our intern to find a solution. However, I have worked a few of these shows in the past by myself – so that would not be a critical situation as long as I know about it. Chicago RV and Camping next to the Double tree Rosemont 847 292 9100 (excellent rate – falls in budget) Donna Creamer is primary and Nancy Wideman is the alternate. Stevens Convention Center 2 miles from O’Hare Donna is to arrive on Thursday 2/18 by Air and depart Sunday 1/23 by AIR – unless you select to leave on the red‐eye on the 22th Hotel choice is you own and your budget is $200 including tax – I’m staying at The Doubletree847 292 9100 code RVV From: Doherty, Roger [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: Gilchrist County
Fred: Attached are 4 files that need to be reviewed by Gilchrist County and then returned to the Department to complete its request for Modification 5 to 11DB‐C5‐03‐31‐01‐PS16. All old subgrant agreements have to be brought up to current standards when modifications are requested. Most of the changes should not have an impact on the County as they are revisions related to audit and E‐Verify requirements which the County should already be following. The following four files are attached: 1. a revised Modification to Subgrant Agreement form. Please have the chairman sign and return at least two copies. 2. new pages 1 ‐ 13A. The new language on these pages is underlined. 3. a revised page 33 with new Special Condition 3 related to submitting Requests for Funds, and 4. the new Attachments M and N, which contain audit language. I have typed in the language that the legal office wants under Other at the bottom of page 2 of the Modification to Subgrant Agreement form. The County will not have to complete Attachment N until next November. Special Condition 3 on the revised page 33 requires documentation to be submitted with requests for construction costs. The County should be getting this already. We will need a new letter signed by the chairman stating that the County has reviewed the new subgrant pages provided by the Department and agrees to include them as part of Modification 5 to the subgrant agreement. We have the revised Program Budget and Activity Work Plan pages, along with the Request for Amendment form that was submitted on December 17. We will attach them to the revised Modification to Subgrant Agreement forms upon receipt and continue to process the request. Please call me if you have any questions. Roger J.

fiscal years beginning after December 26, 2014, a recipient will not have to have a single or programspecific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised, unless it
expends $750,000 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year.

subgrant agreement which is a Federal pass-through award.
(c) Within sixty (60) days of the close of the fiscal year, on an annual basis, the recipient shall
electronically submit a completed Audit Compliance Certification (a version of this certification is
attached hereto as Attachment N) to [email protected]. Recipient’s timely submittal of one
completed Audit Compliance Certification for each applicable fiscal year will fulfill this requirement
within all agreements (e.g., contracts, grants, memorandums of understanding, memorandums of
agreement, economic incentive award agreements, etc.) between DEO and the Recipient.
Rev. 6/20/2014

This form is in addition to the audit certification memo that must be sent to the Department if an

starting after December 26, 2014) in Federal funds during a fiscal year.
(d) In addition to the submission requirements listed in Attachment M, each recipient should send
an electronic copy of its audit report or certification memo (available on the CDBG website) by June 30
following the end of each fiscal year in which it had an open CDBG subgrant to its grant manager at the
following address to ensure that it does not incur audit penalty points:

F.S., as revised (see “AUDITS” below), monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site
visits by DEO staff, limited scope audits as defined by OMB Circular A-133, as revised, and/or other
procedures. By entering into this agreement, the recipient agrees to comply and cooperate with any
monitoring procedures/processes deemed appropriate by DEO. In the event DEO determines that a limited
scope audit of the recipient is appropriate, the recipient agrees to comply with any additional instructions
provided by DEO staff to the recipient regarding such audit. The recipient further agrees to comply and
cooperate with any inspections, reviews, investigations, or audits deemed necessary by the Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) or Auditor General.
Audits
Part I: Federally Funded
This part is applicable if the recipient is a State or local government or a non-profit organization as
defined in OMB Circular A-133, as revised.
1. In the event that the recipient expends $300,000 ($500,000 for fiscal years ending after
December 31, 2003) or more in Federal awards in its fiscal year, the recipient must have a single or
program-specific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised.
Exhibit 1 to this agreement indicates Federal resources awarded through DEO by this agreement. In
determining the Federal awards expended in its fiscal year, the recipient shall consider all sources of
Federal awards, including Federal resources received from DEO. The determination of amounts of
Federal awards expended should be in accordance with the guidelines established by OMB Circular A133, as revised. An audit of the recipient conducted by the Auditor General in accordance with the
provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised, will meet the requirements of this part.
2. In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part I, paragraph 1, the recipient shall
fulfill the requirements relative to auditee responsibilities as provided in Subpart C of OMB Circular A133, as revised.
3. If the recipient expends less than $300,000 ($500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31,
2003) in Federal awards in its fiscal year, an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB
Circular A-133, as revised, is not required. In the event that the recipient expends less than $300,000
($500,000 for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2003) in Federal awards in its fiscal year and elects to
have an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised, the cost
of the audit must be paid from non-Federal resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from
the recipient resources obtained from other than Federal entities).
4. Although the audit provisions of OMB Circular A-133 ordinarily do not apply to for-profit sub
recipients, in the case of Federal funding provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, Circular A-133 does apply. See 45 CFR 74.26 for further details.

Part II: State Funded
This part is applicable if the recipient is a non-state entity as defined by Section 215.97(2), Florida
Statutes.
1. In the event that the recipient expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to or in
excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year of such recipient (for fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 or
thereafter), the recipient must have a State single or project-specific audit for such fiscal year in
accordance with Section 215.97, F.S.; applicable rules of the Department of Financial Services; and
Chapters 10.550 (local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of
the Auditor General. Exhibit 1 to this agreement indicates state financial assistance awarded through
DEO by this agreement. In determining the state financial assistance expended in its fiscal year, the
recipient shall consider all sources of state financial assistance, including state financial assistance received
from DEO, other state agencies, and other non-state entities. State financial assistance does not include
Federal direct or pass-through awards and resources received by a non-state entity for Federal program
matching requirements.
2. In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part II, paragraph 1, the recipient shall
ensure that the audit complies with the requirements of section 215.97(8), Florida Statutes. This includes
submission of a financial reporting package as defined by section 215.97(2), Florida Statutes, and
Chapters 10.550 (local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of
the Auditor General.
3. If the recipient expends less than $500,000 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year (for fiscal
years ending September 30, 2004 or thereafter), an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of
section 215.97, Florida Statutes, is not required. In the event that the recipient expends less than
$500,000 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance
with the provisions of section 215.97, F.S., the cost of the audit must be paid from the non-state entity’s
resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the recipient’s resources obtained from other
than State entities).

Dear County Commissioners
:
Those of us who have been fighting the war against loud noise, and most
specifically so-called'boom cars,'applaud the actions you have taken to deal with
this dangerous and unhealthy form of pollution. Communities where control of the
problem has been most successful are where the governing authorities have taken
bold and aggressive steps.
The loss of this state's very effective stereo noise ordinance via the Supreme
Court's December 2012 ruling in the Catalano case has been a serious setback in
the war on subwoofers and those who would rattle our windows and shake our
doors. Efforts to reinstate the law have fallen on deaf ears in Tallahassee, forcing
local communities to enact their own laws to fill the vacuum. Most have been too
timid to take that step. You are applauded for your courage.
News reports indlcated that at least one of your commissioners urged an ordinance
providlng jail tlme and confiscation of the vehicle for repeat offenders. Please note
that this is by no means unheard of; it can be done and is belng done elsewhere in
the country. In Salisbury, MD, for example, the fine is $500 and/or 90 days in jail.
You may find after a year's review that some of your chronic offenders are going to
need more than a $500 fine to correct their behavior - after all, some of them have
spent thousands of dollars to convert their cars into audio-assault weapons.
Consider the man in Plant City who has bragged about receiving more than B0
tickets for his loud car stereo.
Many of these loud-noise lovers are dangerously aggressive because of the
adrenaline their stereos generate, and the victim of this aggression is likely to be a
law enforcement officer, as happened just before Christmas in Tarpon Springs.
Again, our thanks. By copy of this letter we are asking each and every county
commission in this state to follow your example and help us stamp out this plague.
Sincerely,
Heidi Sumner
