April 17, 2020 <br />Dylan Reingold <br />County Attorney <br />Indian River County <br />1801 27' Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Re: Children's Trust of Indian River County <br />Dear Dylan, <br />I am writing on behalf of the Children's Trust Exploratory Committee to support your <br />recommendation that the Board defer consideration of a referendum for the Children's Trust of <br />Indian River County. The world has changed dramatically since the February 25th workshop <br />and we agree that the highest priority for our county right now is addressing the immediate <br />impacts of COVID-19. <br />We take heart in the great progress that has been achieved by working together as a community <br />over the past several months. We are deeply grateful for the engagement and work of our <br />community leaders and stakeholders. We are also profoundly appreciative of the time and. <br />attention our county commissioners and county staff have dedicated to this important <br />initiative. Because of these combined efforts, a viable solution to the identified community need <br />for adequate and sustainable funding for children's services is within reach. <br />We believe that a Children's Trust will be all the more relevant and necessary as we move <br />through this crisis, plan for our future, and invest in a strong and healthy community. The <br />foundation is in place for us to continue this conversation in a meaningful way at the appropriate <br />time. For so many reasons, we look forward to that day. <br />Gratefully, <br />Lisa Kahle, Facilitator <br />Children's Trust Exploratory Committee • <br />77 <br />
