Leslie R. Swan <br />Supervisor of Elections <br />Indian River County <br />February 11, 2020, <br />The Honorable Susan Adams <br />Chairman, Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />1801 27th Street, Building A <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Chairman Adams: <br />The 2020 presidential election cycle is upon us and ensuring the security of every vote is paramount. The federal <br />government has appropriated grant funds under the Help America Vote Act for federal election cybersecurity initiatives <br />and improvements. The funds will be distributed by the State of Florida in FY 2019-2020 pursuant to specific appropriation <br />3160. <br />In order to receive the Federal Election Cybersecurity Grant funds, the Florida Legislature requires the Chairman of the <br />Board of County Commissioners to certify that the county will match the state funds of $32,711.52 with a 15% county <br />match of $4,906.73. I have enclosed the Certification of County Matching Funds for your signature. The county matching <br />funds will come out of the Supervisor of Elections FY 2019 -2020 budget. <br />The State of Florida's cybersecurity navigator assigned to Indian River County has completed a thorough review of our <br />county's security procedures. The funds from the Federal Election Cybersecurity Grant will be used to implement security <br />recommendations provided by our cybersecurity navigator. <br />I would be most appreciative to have the Certificate of County Matching Funds agreement executed and returned to the <br />Supervisor of Elections office at your earliest convenience. <br />Most sincerely, <br />Leslie R. Swan <br />Supervisor of Elections <br />Enclosure <br />4375 43rd Avenue • Vero Beach, FL 329671 Office: (772) 226-3440 I Fax: (772) 770-5367 1 www.voteindianriver.com <br />
