Brown, Director of Management & Budget <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />180127 th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960-3388 <br />Dear Mr. Brown: <br />APR .1 21016 <br />New Horizons of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast is submitting the attached application for county <br />match funds for the County fiscal year 2016/2017. <br />As you know, the requirement of county match funds is dictated through Florida Statute. For each <br />dollar of specific State funds New Horizons brings to the community, a match of 25% is required. This <br />requirement places New Horizons and the communities it serves in a partnership position. The health <br />and human services needs of the community are being met by this partnership. If one or the other <br />partner did not exist, many of the behavioral healthcare needs of the community would not be met. <br />New Horizons and the people we serve thank the Indian River County Commission for their continued <br />support of our programs and services. We are truly making a positive difference for the residents of <br />Indian River County. <br />Please be advised that Chairman, Garry Wilson, has signed a Resolution that grants authority for the <br />President/CEO to approve funding applications in his absence (see attached Resolution). <br />In closing, I am asking that Indian River County consider a 2% increase to our current level of funding. <br />As always, please feel free to contact me should you have questions regarding this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />4 <br />n B. Romano <br />President/CEO <br />Enclosures <br />r OE PA/t, <br />O' f <br />4500 W.
