AN OFFICIAL PUBLICATION BY YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

CITIZENS’ GUIDE

By completing and returning the Voter Registration Application in the postage paid envelope, you can complete your Voter Checklist:

• Make sure you are registered to vote in Nassau County, Florida.• Make sure your address and name are correct.• Confirm or change your party affiliation. If your political party shows “NPA,” you are not affiliated with a political party and cannot participate in a party’s Primary Election. The deadline to change your political party affiliation is 29 days before each Primary Election. Florida is a Closed Primary State—Only voters registered with a political party can vote in that party’s Primary Election. See Understanding Florida Elections on Page 7 for additional information.

• Update your signature. Your signature from your Voter Registration Application is used to verify your identity and eligibility to vote. It is very important to be consistent when signing official elections documents, including your Vote by Mail ballot return envelope. If you registered to vote at DMV, you signed an electronic signature pad which does not provide a clear signature in your voter record to compare against your handwritten signatures on your mail ballot return envelope, petition or provisional ballot. By completing the Voter Registration Application, you will have a current signature in your voter record. • Request a replacement voter information card. The information on your card represents the information in your voter record and has your assigned polling place for Election Day voting.• Request a Vote by Mail ballot. If you want to vote conveniently at home or elsewhere, request a ballot be mailed to you.

To receive important alerts near or on Election Day, register for AlertNassau and then text VoteNassau to 888777. If we have to change your assigned polling place, or if incorrect information is being circulated on social media or news agencies, we will provide you with the facts!Are you registered for AlertNassau?

AlertNassau mass notification system lets Emergency Management send critical warningsto residents via land-line phones. To receive these public warning alerts by email, text, cellphone, or the Everbridge Mobile App,residents must register their contact information and address in the system.

Alternately, residents and visitors can now get community advisory text messages without providing an address or other identifying information!

Appraise PropertiesIt is the statutory responsibility of the Property Appraiser’s Office to list and appraise all properties within the County every year. The Property Appraiser sets a value on your property based on current market conditions less

assessment limitations and exemptions to determine the taxable value. All taxing authorities will then set a tax rate to determine the amount of taxes a property owner must pay.

Administer Exemptions – APPLY ONLINE!Florida law allows several different property tax exemptions to qualifying residents. The most common being Homestead Exemption, which is a constitutional guarantee that reduces the taxable value of residential property for qualified permanent residents. Every person who has legal or equitable title to real property in the State of Florida, and makes that property their permanent home, is eligible to receive a homestead exemption of up to $50,000.

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A PRE-PAID CARD TO:

• Bail a relative/ friend out of jail • Pay JEA to avoid disconnection • Claim lottery winnings• Pay IRS to avoid jail or prosecution • Unlock a computer which has been frozen

THEN YOU HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY SCAMMERS.

All of these companies and institutions DO NOT and WILL NOT ask you to give them credit card numbers over the phone, and WILL NOT request a pre-paid money gram or credit card or ask you to complete a wire transfer. If you have been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their complaint assistant at www.FTC.gov. Please add “Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint. If you have already sent a money gram, wired money or sent gift or credit cards, contact the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office at 904.225.5174.

LAW ENFORCEMENT SCAM TARGETING NASSAU COUNTY

The fake “arrest scammers” are at it again. Several people have reported receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be a Deputy from the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office. (In the past the scammers gave real names of actual Detectives and Deputies and actual phone numbers).

The caller states that the person they are calling has warrants for their arrest or that they owe the government a sum of money for not showing up to court, or not paying fines, etc. Usually the person is then instructed to go and purchase Green Dot money packs or similar items like gift cards and give the caller the code number on the back of them. We have also seen cases where the caller is instructed to wire money through Western Union or Money Gram. The caller is threatened with arrest if they don’t immediately comply.

The difference in the most recent scams are that they are asking people to meet them at locations in Nassau County, like convenience stores. DO NOT DO THIS. They could be just trying to get you to the store to convince you to buy those gift cards, or worse. Don’t put yourself into an unsafe situation. Just hang up on these calls and block them if you can.

THIS IS A SCAM. Once the caller receives the code for the gift cards or gets the money gram the money is gone. THE MONEY CANNOT BE RECOVERED after this point. Never pay anyone by gift card, green dot card or Western Union, and never give the card numbers over the phone.

On behalf of the men and women of the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, I welcome you to visit our website at www.nassauso.com.

We hope you’ll discover that this site contains useful information about the Sheriff’s Office, about your community, and about the type of services we offer.

Our sworn and non-sworn members are committed to providing responsive quality, and cost effective service to the citizens of Nassau County. We continue to work in partnership with various agencies throughout the community, believing that collaboration is the key to solving problems and achieving goals that will benefit our citizens.

Bill Leeper

The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office is seeing an increase of gift card scams by criminals targeting our Senior Citizens. These thieves take advantage of our Senior Citizens by using phone and internet scams.

WARNINGNO government agency or reputable business will EVER ask for payment with gift cards.

Please call the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 904-225-5174 if you receive a suspicious call or are unsure if the call or email is legitimate.

Please be aware that scammers will always ask for the following to be paid over the phone or internet:• Gift cards• Green Dot Cards • Prepaid Visa/ MasterCard• ITunes cards. Google Play• Payment Cards or money transfers

Scammers can fake their phone numbers and may be posing as Law Enforcement.

LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL NOT TAKE GIFT CARDS OVER THE PHONE FOR PAYMENT.

ALWAYS be suspicious of any threatening calls claiming to be from the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office or any other business – especially if it is coming from a business that you do not normally patronize.

• A legitimate business will not resort to threats as a first response to a late or missed payment.

ALWAYS be suspicious when asked to send an electronic payment, gift card, Green Dot card payment, or wire transfer.

TRUST your instincts. If you feel that something “just isn’t right”, call your local law enforcement agency and report it. It is much easier to prevent fraud in the first place than to recover your money after the fact.

Go to the FTC web site for more information at:https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/paying-scammers-gift-cards

WARNING: GIFT CARD SCAMS

REMEMBER

The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office will NOT call you and ask for payment to avoid arrest. They will not ask you to meet at a convenience store to pay them to avoid being arrested.

Dear Taxpayers,

We have the distinction to live in a country where property rights are respected. Here in Nassau County, we are blessed to live and raise our families in such a fine place!

The privilege of property ownership includes being responsible and paying taxes. So important is this responsibility that Florida Statute 197.122 states that:

As your Tax Collector, it is my duty to process and mail tax notices each year. Remember, there are discounts for early payment. 4% in November, 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February. If paid by US mail, postmarks are used to determine the discount amount.

In addition to basic property tax collection, we represent the Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission, the Department of Health, the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services as well as the Department of Revenue.

We collect Motor Vehicle, Vessel, and Mobile Home Fees, conduct Road Tests and issue Registrations, Titles, Driver Licenses, Hunting and Fishing Licenses and certified copies of FL Birth Certificates. In the last few years we’ve added Concealed Weapons Applications. You can make an appointment to renew or apply for a Concealed Weapons License at our Main Office.

Save on time, Go Online! Pay your property taxes or renew your vehicle registration from your phone or tablet. Please visit our website at www.nassautaxes.com for information on the wide range of services provided to our citizens.

Yours in service, John M. Drew, MBA CFCTax Collector

Board of County Commissioners

What’s New in Parks & Recreation?Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. The Board of County Commissioners is committed to expanding recreational opportunities for everyone. New initiatives are being used to plan for growth and to ensure that recreational facilities, parks, trails, and playgrounds are developed as the community grows.

The Board is currently updating its Recreational Impact Fee Ordinance to ensure developers pay their share to fund new parks and recreational facilities. A Recreational Master Plan is underway in Fiscal Year 19/20 will analyze standards, inventory the County’s current park systems, and recommend guidelines to consider what types of parks and recreation facilities are most appropriate in individual communities based on public input. Below are some exciting projects on the horizon:

Nassau Crossing Park/Nassau Station ParkLocation: East of I-95, off William Burgess Blvd. • Multi-use trails, boardwalks, nature trails, and viewing platforms• Multi-purpose sports field• Children’s play equipment• Restrooms• Picnic Areas• Outdoor fitness stations

Three Rivers Community Park Location: West of I-95, Edwards Road area• Multi-purpose fields , soccer fields, and baseball fields• Multi-use trails and nature trails• Concessions and restrooms• Children’s play equipment• Dog area/open space

Westside Regional ParkLocation: Between Hilliard and Callahan, off US 1• Youth soccer, baseball and softball fields• Children’s play equipment• Concessions and restrooms

Budget for Fiscal Year 2019/2020For Fiscal Year 2019/2020, we were able to present a balanced budget that considered a multitude of needs and priorities across the County while maintaining a steady millage rate. Public hearings were held on Monday, September 9th and Monday, September 23rd.

New Process: In an effort to increase transparency in the budget process, we held public workshops for all departments and non-profit partners to present their budget requests. Our goal is to continue to improve transparency and public participation in the budget development process as we move forward.Philosophy: Recurring operating costs were paid for utilizing recurring revenues and not supplemented with one-time dollars.Policy: A new policy is being developed to hold funding for newly approved positions centrally until they are filled. This will allow for flexibility at the Board level regarding the use of funds accrued from delayed hires.New Funding Allocations: Below are some highlights from the approved FY 19/20 adopted budget:

Public Safety:• Sheriff – 15 new positions, including corrections deputies (4) and patrol deputies (4), support for specialty courts, training positions, and other non-sworn and civilian operations support• Fire/Rescue – 9 new positions to increase staffing on two engines and one ladder truck to increase compliance with NFPA standards, and 1 inspector position to address increase in demand• Two new apparatus – Brush truck and tanker truck (mobile water supply), both located at Station 90

Roads: • 4 new positions directed at improving the drainage maintenance program across the County and 1 position to centralize fleet operations

• Additional funding for sidewalk maintenance

Engineering Services:• Traffic signal technician position (1)• Bucket truck for maintenance & repair of traffic signals• Traffic signal detection camera replacements, signal upgrades and signal arrow & message boards

Facilities/Parks & Recreation:• Services manager position to act as liaison to recreation commission and to centralize the management of parks amenities usage & contracts management

In addition to departmental allocations, the targeted amount for the emergency reserve was fully funded at $1.5M.

The FY 2020/2021 budget workshops will kick-off in the Spring of 2020. Be engaged in the budget process by attending a workshop. Dates will be posted on the County’s website: www.nassaucountyfl.com.

What is the County Doing to Manage Growth?Growth has been one of the most debated topics over the last year and many are wondering what the County is doing to manage it. While the County cannot legally stop growth, the County can impose stricter standards on new development that protect the high quality of life the citizens of Nassau County enjoy. One of the primary ways we can preserve our quality of life is through thoughtful and engaging community planning efforts. Below are a few of the exciting planning initiatives underway.  

Western Nassau Heritage Preservation CommitteeThis subcommittee of the County’s Planning & Zoning Board was formed to address the future of western Nassau and provide recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The Committee meets monthly and has held numerous outreach meetings. The Committee is currently creating a draft vision plan for western Nassau County which was shared at a community meeting on 11/12/2019. The draft plan will be shared with the B.O.C.C. in early 2020.

Visit http://www.nassaucountyfl.com/westernnassau for updates and meeting schedule.

William Burgess Overlay DistrictProactive and innovative land use planning was utilized for creation of the William Burgess District (WBD), a community built to capture Nassau’s rich heritage and culture. The WDB is intended to incorporate old styles with a new feel, while addressing live, work and play opportunities. Visit www.nassaucountyfl.com/burgessoverlay for more information.

Timber to Tides Trail: From Rural Roots to Community CrossroadsThe Board is working on a long-term design plan for the State Road 200/A1A Corridor so that it is functional and of value to the community. The Board has engaged a consultant to develop a design plan that provides opportunities for living and to encourage recreation, bicycle and pedestrian activity, promote compact mixed-use development patterns, and improve quality of floodplain management. We encourage the public to join us to learn more about the project and provide input. Information can be found at: http://www.nassaucountyfl.com/timbertotides.

These two parks are a result of a public-private partnership with the project developer, Matovina & Associates, Inc. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in September 2019 celebrating commencement of this project.

This park is a result of a public-private partnership with the project developer, Three Rivers Timber, LLC. Commencement of construction will take place in early 2020, with Phase I to be completed by the fall of 2021.

Funding of $2.5 million was allocated in the Fiscal Year 19/20 Budget. Construction could begin as early as 2020. The County will seek ideas from the public on the community’s vision for the park and will begin public outreach sessions in the spring.

Before Going to Vote

At the Polling Place

REVIEW YOUR VOTER INFORMATION CARDYour Voter Information Card provides your precinct number and polling place, as well as other information contained in your voter registration record. All registered voters were recently mailed a new card. If you did not receive your card, contact the Supervisor of Elections Office. Should your precinct or polling place change, or if you update your voter registration record, you will be mailed a new card. To avoid delays and paperwork at the early voting site or polling place, be sure your address is correct in your voter registration record. Inform us of any changes to your registration information by visiting our website or contacting our office.

YOUR SAMPLE BALLOTREVIEW IT, MARK IT, TAKE IT TO THE POLLSYour sample ballot is based on your legal residence address and party affiliation (in primary elections), and will be mailed approximately three weeks prior to Election Day. If you would like your sample ballot emailed, please notify the Supervisor of Elections Office. Your sample ballot will contain your specific ballot style and information regarding voting opportunities. You may mark your sample ballot and take it to the early voting site or polling place for your reference.

WHEN AND WHERE TO VOTEOn Election Day, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You must vote at your assigned polling place. Contact the Supervisor of Elections Office, or visit our website, if you need confirmation on where your polling place is located or have questions. There are five Early Voting locations in Nassau County. Please see the next page for locations, dates and times.

A voter may present two separate forms of ID, one with a photo on it from the list below and another with a signature (may or may not be from the list below).

If you do not have any of the acceptable forms of ID listed above, please contact the

elections office for assistance.

1. CHECK-IN You will be greeted by a polling place deputy and directed to a voter check-in station where you will provide your current and valid photo and signature ID. You will be asked to sign the electronic signature pad or a voting pass. Your paper ballot will then be provided to you in a secrecy sleeve.

DURING EARLY VOTING your specific ballot style will print on demand after check-in. If you are a person with a disability, or cannot read or write and would like someone to help you with the voting process, you can designate someone of your own choice (except your employer or an agent of your employer, or an officer or agent of your union) to help you. Election officials may also provide assistance. If you would like assistance, please advise the Check-in Operator.

PROVISIONAL BALLOTS If you do not provide acceptable photo and signature identification at the polls, or your eligibility to vote cannot be determined, you may vote a provisional ballot. After casting a provisional ballot, you will be provided a written Notice of Rights with instructions on how to present written evidence supporting your eligibility to vote to the Supervisor of Elections. The notice also includes information on how to determine if your provisional ballot was counted following the election. You must cast your ballot in the proper precinct for it to count.

2. PROCEED TO THE VOTING BOOTH Once you are at a voting booth, remove your ballot from the secrecy sleeve and mark your selection(s). Instructions are provided on the secrecy sleeve and the ballot. If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask an election worker for assistance. By law, you may receive up to two replacement ballots, for a total of three ballots.

HOW TO VOTE PAPER BALLOT • Each voter receives a paper ballot. Use the pen provided to mark your ballot by filling in the oval to the left of your chioce. If you make a mistake on your ballot or overvote a race, ask an election worker for help. Florida law states you may have up to two (2) replacement ballots. • For write-in candidates, fill in the oval to the left of the words write-in, and write the qualified write-in candidate’s name on the line. • If you have overvoted any of the races or inserted a blank ballot, you will hear a beep and a message will be displayed on the tabulator screen. However, a message will not be displayed if you have undervoted any race. The tabulator will count all properly marked races. • When finished voting, place your voted ballot inside the secrecy sleeve. Take your ballot to the ballot box and insert the ballot into the slot designated on the top of the machine.

ACCESSIBLE VOTING EQUIPMENT A touchscreen ballot marking device will be available at each Early Voting location and Election Day polling place to assist you in marking your paper ballot. It provides voters with the following options: • English and Spanish audio with headset • Braille keypad • Zoom-in large print • Sip-and-puff device • Two-switch paddle device • Adjustable contrast and text size

3. TAKE BALLOT TO THE TABULATOR After reviewing your ballot, insert it into the tabulator. When you see Thank you for voting. Your ballot has been counted on the screen, you have completed the voting process. You will receive an I Voted sticker and you can exit the polling place with confidence that your vote counted.

OVERVOTEIf you vote for more candidates in a race than what is indicated in the title of the race, your vote in that race will not count. This is called an overvote.

UNDERVOTEYou may choose not to vote on a Vote for One race or not to make multiple choices on a Vote for Two (or three, or four) race. This is called an undervote.
