During the September, 2009, advertised public hearings the Board may maintain or lower millage rates in each taxing district unit at or below the level of the proposed millage rates. The millage rates may not be raised subsequent to the adoption of this resolution, without meeting additional public notice and advertising requirements. The proposed millage rates and associated tax dollars are included as exhibits entitled "Property Tax Rates — FY 10 Proposed" and "Property Tax Dollars — FY 10 Proposed ". This information is based upon taxable values provided by the Property Appraiser on July 1, 2009. • The proposed General Fund (001) maximum millage rate is 3.5148 per $1,000 of taxable value (or $351.48 per $100,000 of taxable value) and is below the statutory rolled back rate of $3.5676 per $1,000 of taxable value. The proposed General Fund rate represents a 1.5% decrease from the rolled back rate and is 11.7% higher than the adopted FY 2009 rate of $3.1469 per $1,000 of taxable value. • The proposed Unincorporated Area General Fund (111) maximum millage rate is .7161 per $1,000 of taxable value (or $71.61 per $100,000 of taxable value) and is below the statutory rolled back rate of $.8010 per $1,000 of taxable value. The proposed Unincorporated Area General Fund rate represents a 10.6% decrease from the rolled back rate and is 3.6% higher than the adopted FY 2009 rate of $.6912 per $1,000 of taxable value. Public hearings on the FY 2009/10 Collier County budget will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2009 and Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 5:05 in the third floor board room in the W.

C)veng||. the Sheriff Agency General Fund transfer is 9596 of the FY 2009 value. Subsequent to the budget vvorhshopa, a follow-up letter was sent by the County Manager soliciting comment from the Sheriff on several budgetary issues including the potential $1.100.000 insurance reserve reduction. Correspondence from the Sheriff is attached, which indicates that the current reserve position will be maintained. Referencing the General Fund (001) table, initial County Manager verified reductions made during the workshops totaled $8.132.200. However` when all discussions ceased, there were several items which were added to the budget and these items had m net impact of $666,400.

Tamiami Trail Building J Government Center Naples, FL 34112 Dear Kevin, To follow up on changes that were discussed at the BCC workshops pertaining to the Sheriffs budget, additional details are needed on the following items to finalize the millage information that will be presented to the Commissioners on July 28th: • The Sheriffs position on a reduction of $1,100,000 for excess insurance reserves and details if acceptable. • Details (cost centers and commitment Items) for the additional $600,000 associated with the mid -year budget cuts. • Details (cost centers and commitment items & details of portion that will be refunded) on the $107,000 associated with the reduction of the DAS expense. Also, is this in addition to the $800,000 or is it part of the mid year budget cut? • Final details for the$3,272,200 reduction. Your response to these questions by close of business on July 101' will be gre * appreciated as the read ahead information is scheduled to be finalized for the Commissioners by July 12th. Since y yours, James V County Manager SHERIFF KEVIN J. RAMBOSK Collier County Sheriffs Office July 7, 2009 Mr. James Mudd County Manager Collier County 3301 Tamiami Trail East Naples, FL 34112 Dear Mr. Mudd, Ref: Your letter of July 1, 2009 Agenda Item No. 10F July 28, 2009 Page 11 of 14 g, v s "004�.J� We have received your request for more information on the BCC workshop items pertaining to the Sheriff's Office budget for FY2010. The details requested for items 2, 3, and 4 have been provided to Randy Greenwald in the Budget Office. The $600,000 additional mid -year budget cuts will be returned as part of the promised $2,849,900 in excess funds. The DAS payments made in FY09 will be returned to the county and no further billings are expected for the remainder of the fiscal year. The details of the $3,272,200 reduction for FYI have been given to Mr. Greenwald. The majority of the reduction is in personal services ($2,672,200) and the remaining $600,000 is in operating costs. The last issue is the reduction of $1,100,000 for excess insurance reserves proposed by the Productivity Committee. While we agree that our reserve balance is currently in a favorable position, there are several factors that may have an adverse impact on reserves in the coming year. The Sheriff's Office is moving toward a Behavior Based Health plan, similar to the county's plan, which will require all members have an agency paid physical. The federally mandated Mental Health Parity Act goes into effect on January 1, 2010 which most likely will increase claims expenses substantially. A recent statute, Florida Statute 627.6686, requires coverage for individuals with autism spectrum disorder up to a maximum of $36,000 annually and $200,000 lifetime and will increase claims expenses. Another consideration is the possibility of a swine flu pandemic later this year. Therefore, we feel it is prudent to maintain our reserve position in FYI and revisit the level of insurance reserves during the FYI I budget process. 33oi Tamiami Trail East Bldg.

Brock Clerk of the Circuit Court Collier County Courthouse 3301 Tarniami Trail East Naples, Florida 34112 Dear Mr. Brock. Thank you for meeting with me yesterday to discuss various approaches to address your FY 2010 budget funding request to the Board of County Commissioners. I am interested in continuing this dialog in the hopes of arriving at a mutually agreeable request that can be recommended to the Board. In order for me to arrive at this objective, I will need your assistance in providing additional details that support the funding request that you have presented. Specifically, I would like to review your Clerk to the Board line item detail budget worksheets that contain itemized personnel, operating and capital expenditures, including number of personnel by position title assigned to each of the functional categories you presented at our meeting. I believe this level of detail is imperative for my understanding of your cost structure, particularly as I attempt to reconcile your May 1, 2009 funding request of $5.1 million against the $6.1 million request presented yesterday, and also against our estimate of your actual year end FY 09 cost for services to the Board of approximately $4 million As you know, my agency has reduced our general fund operating budget request for FY 2010 by 3% (tax neutral) and 15% (millage neutral) respectively versus the adopted FY 09 budget. Time is of the essence as there is no Board transfer to the Clerk's budget contained in the proposed FY 2010 budget. If that is to change, we need to arrive at a joint recommendation prior to the BCC budget workshops on June 29 and 30, which can then be formalized in an interlocal agreement. Please advise me at your earliest possible convenience if this approach is acceptable and, if so, when I can expect the information described above.

South DIVISION OF RETIREMENT INFORMATION RELEASE Release # 2009 -135 June 5, 2009 TO: All FRS Agency Heads and Retirement Coordinators FROM: Sarabeth Snuggs State Retirement Director SUBJECT: Retirement Contribution Rates for 2009/2010 The 2009 Florida Legislature enacted SB 1802, Enrolled, that keeps the current employer contribution rates for the Florida Retirement System (FRS) in effect for the 2009 -2010 plan year. Governor Crist signed SB 1802 into law on May 27, 2009 (chapter 2009 -76, Laws of Florida). It is very important that this Information Release is distributed to the appropriate staff within your agency immediately. The 2009 Florida Legislature continued the uniform contribution rate system under which participating employers make uniform contributions to support both the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. Under this system, employers contribute a percentage of the total payroll for each class or subclass of FRS membership based upon "blended" rates, regardless of which retirement plan your employees participate under. Therefore, you pay the same contribution rates for members under both plans. [Allocation rates for the FRS Investment Plan have not changed. For example, each Regular Class Investment Plan member will still receive 9.00% of gross compensation in his /her investment account each month, even though the retirement portion of the total employer contribution rate (8.69 %) is less than that] The health insurance subsidy (HIS) contribution rate will remain at 1.11 percent In addition, the assessment for administering the FRS Investment Plan and funding the MyFRS Financial Guidance Program will remain at 0.05 percent All FRS contribution rates are unchanged from the current plan ,year, including the DROP rate. For your convenience, total employer contribution rates are provided in the attached separate charts. The maximum salary you may report for your FRS members for the 2009 -2010 plan year is $354,140 if they were first enrolled before July 1, 1996 or $245,000 if they were first enrolled on or after July 1, 1996. FOR RETIREMENT COORDINATORS: The schedule of due dates for your monthly payroll reports for the next plan year is included on the last page. Revised chapters of the FRS Employer Handbook outlining changes will be posted on the "Employer' page of our Web site at frs.MyFlorida.com. The payroll officer for your agency should be made aware of these changes. If you have questions about contributions, please contact the Contributions Section of the Bureau of Enrollment and Contributions by telephone toll -free at 877 - 377 -1266 or 850 - 488 - 6011, or by e-mail at contri butionsgdms.MyFlorida.com. You will receive a separate information release detailing the impact of other enacted 2009 Legislation. SS/ gg Attachments We serve those who serve Florida.
