MASCARA Telephone: (772) 462-3200 • Fax: (772) 489-5851 4700 West Midway Road • Fort Pierce, Florida 34981 May 1, 2018 The Honorable Frannie Hutchinson, Chair St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners 2300 Virginia Ave. Ft. Pierce, FL 34982 Dear Chair Hutchinson: It is my pleasure to submit the Sheriffs Office budget for the upcoming fiscal year. I believe this budget ensures the continued security our community demands and maintains the effectiveness of our agency, while being proper stewards of tax dollars. As you know, this is a commitment I made 18 years ago and have held inviolable every year I have served in office. • Our agency continues to make strides in reducing crime, engaging our community in positive activities, and solving daily problems identified by residents. Last fall, we -re -organized the agency to increase efficiency and communication and in January merged several units focused on community service to create a Community Engagement Division, furthering the strides we have made in working with our residents. In order to continue this work, my budget anticipates using $300,000 in crime prevention funds again this year. With the investment you made last year in providing much needed replacement vehicles, our patrol units are responding to more and more calls for service, 150,659 last year alone, and logged more than 6.3 million miles of travel. Working shoulder -to -shoulder, investigative detectives, crime scene technicians, and intelligence analysts not only stop crime from happening, but solve crimes that have occurred. Other outstanding examples of our agency's accomplishments in 2017 can be found in our Annual Report that is attached to this letter. The next fiscal year will present us great challenges. But with great challenges come great rewards. The recent Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act has revolutionized how communities are mandated to keep school facilities and all whom enter them safe. With this mandate, come costs. And, while we can debate who is responsible for paying the cost of enhanced school security, we cannot debate its legal requirement. To that end, I am submitting two budget documents. One outlines our standard budget request. The other is a budget supplement outlining costs specific to expanding our School Resource Deputy (SRD) Program to comply with law. The latter includes insufficient funding passed down from the state and assumes that all newly required deputies to fully implement the law will be hired in the next budget year. We don't currently foresee that happening, so first -year costs to implement these mandates will be less than projected. However, in order to comply with the new law, I will have to transfer deputies from other units to fill any vacant SRD positions until we can hire sufficient new employees. This will put additional ispressures on these units as they provide the same level of service with fewer resources resulting in increased overtime costs. • The Honorable Frannie Hutchinson, Chair May 1, 2018 Page 2 As I shared with you last year, recruiting and retaining top talent is growing more and more difficult due to the salary disparity between our agency and those surrounding us. Add to this the now statewide recruitment effort by all law enforcement agencies to comply with the new school safety mandates, and a perfect storm brews. The result is our continuing to lose deputies to other agencies and quite frankly, being overlooked by new graduates seeking first-time employment. This year, I plan to increase our agency's starting salary to $42,500, equating the pay in Indian River County, but still below the City of Port St. Lucie ($45,000) and Martin County Sheriff's Office ($45,260). This salary enhancement is part two of a four-year plan I presented to you last year to help close the gap between the St. Lucie County Sheriffs Office and these surrounding agencies. This standard budget request also includes the second payment of $873,576 of debt service for the lease/purchase of our 115 patrol vehicles you approved last year. Without the inclusion of the patrol vehicle debt service payment, this budget request recognizes a 4.9% increase in operating expenses over last year. These increases are largely due to increases in contractual agreements and insurance costs. However, to provide some silver lining, health insurance premiums only increased 3.5% this year, far below the national average. We are also in the process of a Request for Proposals for medical services at the Jail. While we have no projection on whether there will be an increase or decrease in • this contract, the amount included in this budget request reflects the current funding. In addition, we have also asked that county staff designate someone to serve on the RFP selection committee. The men and women of the St. Lucie County Sheriffs Office continue to amaze and astound me each and every day. Their commitment to keep this community safe is unwavering and inspires me each day to lead them with the same determination and purpose as I did the first day I took office in 2001. Nevertheless, we are only as strong as the community that supports us. I respectfully request your continued support of the men and women, both sworn and civilian, who work tirelessly each and every day to protect us, our families, and our community. As always, my staff and I are available to answer and address any questions you may have. Sincerely, Ken J. Mascara Sheriff C.

ANNUAL REPORT -- January— December 2017 .ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT The Environmental Resources Department is comprised of three divisions: Natural Resources & Land Management, Environmental Regulations, :and Education and Community Outreach. The Department's mission is to preserve, protect,. and enhance SLC's environmental resources through sustainable land management practices, regulations, public education and outreach. The Natural Resources & Land Management Division oversees the County's 10,000-acre preserve system. Responsibilities include land management, acquisition, stewardship, planning & habitat restoration, resource protection, nature programming, and maintenance of the County's passive recreation opportunities found within in the preserves. The division also facilitates many regional conservation/passive public access programs including the Environmentally Significant Land (ESL) Acquisition Bond program and the County's Greenways and Trails Program. Services include invasive species management, prescribed fire, wildlife management, trail and property maintenance, amenity development and site improvements, as well as providing public safety and educational opportunities within the preserves. The division relies heavily on inter -agency partnerships, grant funding, sharing resources, and volunteer support to achieve the Department's mission. Division 2017 Highlights & Accomplishments: • Received: $1.6 M in Competitive Funding Assistance & Grants Related Projects • Restored: 3,000 Acres of the Preserves with Land Management Services • Managed: 2,000 Acres of the Preserves, the Airport, and the Port for Invasive Exotic Species • Enhanced: 400 Acres of Preserves with Prescribed Fire • Saved: $24,000 with Citizen Engagement Projects (1000 Volunteer Hours x $24/hr) • Provided: 102 Guided Nature Programs Free to the Public • Engaged: 1,000 + Individuals Through Outreach and Nature Programs • Maintained:10,000 Acres and more than 42 Miles of Trail(s) •Habitat Restoration: The division had yet another record year in project advancement, grant funding, and land management. Since 2015, the County has received over $13M in funding assistance,from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Uplands Invasive Plant Management Section (FWC IPMS). This funding has resulted in treating over 9,000 acres of the County's Preserve System for invasive..exotic species. This funding has also allowed the division.to extend resources to the Treasure Coast International Airport and save the County several $100k annually by treating invasive exotic plants within the established conservation easements. Reducing and removing invasive speices not only benefits our natural resources and systems, but also offers return on investment that pays dividends in ecotourism by providing an authentic Florida experience for our visitors and citizens. Indian River Lagoon: The division continues to work with the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (IRLNEP) to restore habitat on Wesley's Island in the Port of Ft. Pierce. This past year the County received $15,000 in reimbursement for several completed phases which focused on removing invasive species from the island and replanting the area with native plants. On Wesley's Island alone, the County received assistance from 49 volunteers who donated 294 hours towards planting, site clean-up, and watering new plant introductions. This provided the County with a cost -savings of $7,697.16. Watershed Restoration: The division worked to secure $100,0.00, from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Aquatic Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Subsection (FWC AHRES), to be used towards the design of a large-scale wetland restoration project at Teague Hammock Preserve in western St. Lucie County near C-23/C-24. The project will restore hydrology to the ecosystem, while benefiting the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River Estuaries by holding 30D-acres of surface water onsite instead of contributing to large freshwater inputs to the estuaries during rainy season. The division has worked with Legislative Affairs to secure an additional $400,000 from the Florida Legislature to complete the construction of the project in future years. Some initial work has been completed ahead of this project'including several invasive species treatments and a 300-acre prescribed fire. With the historical rainfall this year and initial work completed we have seen an abundance of birdlife return to the site including several large groups of roseate spoonbills and other wading species. Greenways & Trails: The division received accolades from the East Coast Greenway Alliance in 2017 for progress, made in the County's Greenways & Trails Program. In 2017, the division partnered with the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) SUN •Trail program to initiate $833,716 in project development and design projects to complete the East Coast Greenway (ECG) in St. Lucie County. Over the next five years, these efforts expect to yield upwards of an additional $6M to $12M in FDOT funding to construct the 12 foot -wide ECG trail from Walton Road to North Hutchinson Island. In total the ECG is a 3,000-mile multiuse trail that connects people to place from Maine to Key West. Public Access & Acquisition: The division worked to open the eastern portion of Citrus Hammock Preserve to the public in 2017. Newly installed amenities include an entrance sign, a % mile nature. trail, a kiosk, and a small pervious parking area. Efforts are also underway to upgrade access amenities at St. Lucie Village Heritage Preserve. Improvements include upgraded signage, an improved • discgolf course layout, and an improved pervious parking layout. The division worked with Property Acquisitions to purchase/close on the Zorc Property (adjacent to Captain Hammonds Hammock Preserve) and took two Florida Communities Trust (FCT) grant award agreements to the Board for execution, reimbursing the County 50% of the purchase price of both Cypress Creek and Myers - Stickel Preserves. Once finalized the reimbursements to the County for both projects will reach $1.9m.
