SUNRISE CONSVRTINS GROUF  November 2nd, 2021 Mr. Lee Garner 2028: 3rd Avenue Sneads, FL32460  RE: State Government Representation  Dear Mr. Garner:  Sunrise Consulting Group ("SCG") has reviewed the Town of Sneads' ("Town") current position regarding the Town's Legion Road ball field and wel believe that the Town is poised to make significant headway towards a more permanent solution; which ultimately will provide recreational stability for not just the  Town of Sneads, but the citizens in the surrounding area that the park serves.  We offer thet following to the Town:  Our plan's highest priority willl be to elevate the Town'sn relationships with Florida's lawmakers, regulators ande executive branch agencies so that the Town's priorities are on the agendas of key decision makers. Collaborating with the Town Council and the Town Manager, SCG will provide and execute simultaneously on a series of specifically timed priorities to move Florida State government towards surplusing the Town ballpark to the Town of Sneads. While thisi is a multi-year and multi- faceted goal, iti is a goal that SCG believes is poised for success. While SCG will represent the Town at everys step of the process from surplus to the Town's acquisition, SCG also will: seek that the executive branch extends the Town's current lease on thel ball park. Providing shorter term stability to the Town, and placing the Town in a position that in-part satisfies the requirements various recreational grants that the Town is seeking. SCG is eager to work with the Town of Sneads, therefore, we additionally propose assisting the town seek a recreational appropriation request fori the 2022 legislative session. An appropriation can only serve to further boister the Town's priority of post Hurricane Michael At SCG we are: steadfast in giving each client the time and attention they deserve to meet their goals.

Onbwkk L6 Andrew Kalel Sunrise Consulting Group 113 East College Ave, Talahassee, FL 32301  Proposal to7 Town ofs Sneads, Floridal bys Sunrise Consulting Group, November 2021    SUNRISE  813.240.7632-akalel@scgrowp.us  Proposal Specifics  Outcome  1  The Town of Sneads ultimately seeks to provide longevity and stability fori its citizens in their continued use of the land that is now the Adam Tucker' Wilson recreational ball field. While simultaneously: seeking funding for much needed improvements to the field andi its facilities that are not only faced with both the end of useful life for many of the fixtures and improvements to the park, but stilll has not recovered from the damage that was sustained from Hurricane Michael.  Additional Background  The Town is essentially subleasing this land from the Department of Corrections that is ultimately owned by the state Board of Trustees/Governor and Cabinet. The Town has sought funding fori improvements to the park through the Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program ("FRDAP") but has not been able to successfully apply for FRAP as the Town of Sneads' park cannot comply with at least two oft the requirement's promuigated for the FRDAP  grant.  Rule 62D-5.056/2)b), F.A.Cs states that in order for a site to be eligible for FRDAP assistance a site shall "be dedicated as an outdoor recreation area for the use and benefit of the general public for a  minimum period of twenty-five (25) years" as defined in Rule 62D-5.059,F.A.C.  Rule 62D-5.074(2) also provides that projects shall, essentially, have a 25-year life expectancy. Specifically, it says that the facilities "shall be kept in reasonable repair for a minimum of 25 years from the date setf forth on the project completion". The Town of Sneads cannot comply with this when there  are only approximately. 23 years left on the Town's lease with the state.  Scope of Work to be Provided by SCG  Upona a November 15th, 2021 commencement: SCG's services we will lay the groundworki for 3 short term 1. SCG will rely on specific relationships with key decision makers in the state criminal justice realm who can not only request the Department of Corrections toi favorably consider a 25 year lease extension, with an option to purchase, but can also ensure that thel lease extension is on the agenda of executive leadership. Extending thel lease between the state and the Town of Sneads will at a minimum put the Town of Sneads in a better position to receive FRDAP funds. 2. At the same time and through the same channels SCG will be able to engage the Department of Corrections and: seek1 that the Department to place the land, used byt the Sneads since 1994, adjacent to the Apalachee Correctional Institution on the Department's: surplus inventory list. This will: serve as thej first step of an ultimate goal of the Town of Sneads having total ownership a. Once SCG can get the state to a place where they are willing to. sell the land, SCG can assist the Town of Sneads with at funding request to purchase the land. This mayi involve the Town matching a portion of the total purchase price with local funds. However, the state doesn't normally give land to local governments, but they can choose to assista a  projects:  oft the land thati is now the Adam Tucker park.  Proposal to1 Town ofs Sneads, Florida by Sunrise Consulting Group, November 2021    SUNRISE  local government by providing funds for that local government to use in the purchase.  Proposal. Specifics  3. Int the spirit of moving the ball field and the Town of Sneads in a positive direction, SCG wills seek al legislative appropriation for a new pavilion structure at the ball field during the 2022 Legislative Session. This will allow the Town to receive funding specifically for the pavilion structure, freeing up any future recreational grant awards for other purposes. Longer term projects will without question include the successful sale of the land to the Town of Sneads, but SCG's will also provide consulting services on the following longer-term projects: Once the lease for1 the ball field is extended and the Town of Sneads meets several critical requirements seti forthi in DEP rule, then, SCG proposes that the town: 1) apply for FRDAP during the next application period, and 2) att the same time as the application seek a rule wavier from DEP for the perpetual use designation requirement. SCG will work with the executive branch to demonstrate the value of granting Successfully extending the lease between the Town and the state and the successful awarding ofa a DEP rule waiver willl be the quickest way for1 the Town to receive significant recreational development dollars Itisi important to note the FRDAP grants are: subject to legislative approval, requiring legislative action to  the rule waiver for the Town of Sneads unique issue.  from the state.  fully authorized DEP's proposed FRDAP awardees.  Cost Proposal  Sunrise Consulting Group strives to remain competitive in our representation of small fiscally constrained local governments. Our pricing is inclusive of our dynamic costs. All ofSCG's local government clients are on annual contracts with us. Additionally to perform the entire proposed scope of work for ball field related projects will require at least 12 months of work.  Cost: $2,500 / month  SCG will consider flexible payment options for the Town of Sneads. If easier, consulting fees can be paid in advance recognizing larger nonrecurring expenditures might be al better option than recurring  monthly payments.

For the previous 21 years the City of Brooksville had not been successful in navigating and receiving an appropriation from the state through the legislative process. Since the start of SCG's contract with the City, they have received several appropriations with the help of our SCG has taken the lead on state appropriated funding for the City's projects, matters of legislative policy, and we have helped the City engage the regulatory bodies of Florida. The City had used SCG's deep roots with Senate Chairwoman Debbie Mayfield and former House Natural Resources Chairwoman Rep. Raschig to secure $150,000 for Brooksville in aj previous session. Working directly with Senator Wilton Simpson and Rep. Blaise Ingoglia for sponsorship ofthe project, we secured funds for a water reuse project that has expanded the city's capacity to provide reuse water to the outer limits oft the city. On the policy front, SCG worked tirclessly with the Florida Leaguc of Cities and the Florida Association of Counties, onbehalfofthe Brooksville to advocate that funds be disbursed equitably to counties and cities below certain population thresholds.
