IV-B DATE: January 26, 2010 REGULAR [x ] PUBLIC HEARING [ ] CONSENT [ ] PRESENTED BY: Daniel S. McIntyre County Attorney Resolution No. 10-041-"EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC) AWARENESS DAY" BACKGROUND: Rose Mintern, a representative with Internal Revenue Service, has requested that this Board proclaim January 29, 2010 as "Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Awareness Day" in St. Lucie County, Florida. The attached Resolution No. 10-041 has been drafted for that purpose. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution No. 10-041 as drafted. COMMISSION ACTION: CONCURRENCE: [~ APPROVED [ ]DENIED ~-1 _ [ ]OTHER: Faye W. Outlaw, MPA Approved 5-0 County Administrator Review and Approvals [X] County Attorney: Daniel S. McIntyre RESOLUTION NO. 10-041 A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING JANUARY 29, 2010, AS "EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC) AWARENESS DAY" INST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the following determinations: 1. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), approved by Congress in 1975, is a refundable federal income tax credit for low/moderate income working individuals and families and is the nation's largest anti-poverty program. When the credit exceeds the amount oftaxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who qualify for and claim the credit. The EITC was devised to improve quality of life by encouraging the use of this refund for necessities such as reliable transportation, safe housing, college funds or savings. This credit improves the economy by bringing in and circulating more money into the local economy. 2. Each year millions of dollars of Earned Income Tax Credits go unclaimed bythe working families in St. Lucie County because they lack information or affordable assistance. St. Lucie County is working to substantially increase the number of families claiming EITC dollars, with additional goals to provide access to financial education and other asset building programs. 3. Annually many low/moderate income residents pay high prices for tax preparation services, as well as exorbitant interest on rapid refund loans. The availablity of local volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) sites is an additional service of which many residents are unaware. 4. This campaign, sponsored by St. Lucie County Community Services, is a unique collaboration of public, private and non-profit organizations across the four county area, supported by the Treasure Coast Community Action Agency, City of Port St. Lucie, Save Our Children, Miracle Prayer Temple, Mustard Seed Ministries, Harvest Food and Outreach, Volunteers in Tax Assistance (VITA), other businesses and community-based organizations, and many local volunteers. 5. Through this effort, citizens can receive free tax preparation by volunteer preparers at five sites throughout St. Lucie County, ensuringthat those eligible forthe Earned Income Tax Credit will receive their full, earned share. 6. St. Lucie County is proud to share in this effort of promoting economic opportunity and financial education to our citizens: • New EITC provisions mean more money for larger families. • EITC can be a financial boost for working people hit by hard economic times. • One in four eligible taxpayers could miss out because they are not aware of EITC. • Taxpayers can get free help determining their eligibility for EITC and other credits by visiting a local volunteer tax preparation site, by visiting their local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, or using the EITC Assistant at www.irs.eov/eitc.

NO: 10-0052 DATE: January 12, 2010 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 10-036 -Requesting the Governor of Florida to activate all available State and Local Emergency and Relief Resources and Mechanisms for the Benefit of Homeowners impacted by Defective or Reactive Drywall BACKGROUND: St. Lucie County residents have suffered damages from Chinese Drywall in their homes. Heat and humidity causes the Chinese Drywall to release gases, which not only create a noxious odor, but they corrode copper and other metal surfaces, thereby damaging air conditioners, electrical wiring, copper plumbing, appliances and electronics. The corrosion of electrical wiring can hamper the effectiveness of smoke detection and create a risk of fire. The drywall is also very friable, which means it is in a state where small particles can easily become dislodged, thus enabling them to easily enter an individual's lungs. The owners of homes with Chinese drywall have alleged they a re suffering health problems due to these effects. Insurance companies have denied these owners coverage and their developer has refused to replace the Chinese drywall; so they have no avenue in which to fund the necessary drywall repairs to avoid the health problems that they have been suffering. The County has been informed that there may be federal funds available to assist St. Lucie County residents with their Chinese Drywall problems, but in order for them to be released, the State of Florida must declare an emergency. RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that this Board adopt the attached Resolution No. 10-036 requesting the Governor of Florida to activate all available state and local emergency and relief resources and mechanisms forthe benefit of homeowners impacted by defective or reactive drywall; including requesting immediate federal assistance through FEMA and/or any other agency of the United States Government Respectfully submitted, DSM/cb Attachment Daniel S.

West, Public Works Director DATE: January 26, 2010 SUBJECT: Lakewood Park Canal Control Structures; SFWMD Amendment No. 2 -Grant Time Extension ITEM NO. VI - C1 Background: After conducting studies to evaluate the Lakewood Park stormwater system and the downstream Fort Pierce Farms Water Control District canals, a three phased approach to the potential Lakewood Park improvements was outlined. The first phase focuses on replacement of the primary water control structures with operational gates to provide maximum flexibility for stormwater management under varying conditions. The current project comprises improving and upgrading the primary outfall control structures for Lakewood Park Subdivision. The structures are designed and permitted as operable gates, to replace the fixed crest weirs that previously existed. This improvement gives the County the ability to lower internal canal stages prior to major storm events and provide greater flood protection. Likewise, during drought conditions the water could be maintained at higher levels, to improve lake aesthetics and maintain higher groundwater levels. The original project completion date was September 6, 2009. This amendment will extend the grant deadline to February 27, 2010. This extension will allow the County to complete the project and recover the remaining funds available from the granting agency. Previous Action: February 14, 2007 -Board acceptance and approval of JPA with SFWMD for Lakewood Park Canal Control Structures. April 10, 2007 -Board acceptance of Budget Resolution No. 07-109 in the amount of $250,000.00 from SFWMD for Lakewood Park Canal Control Structures, stormwater Drainage and Water Quality Improvement project. September 23, 2008 -Board approval of Amendment No. 1 (Time Extension).
