ECFR PROMOTES WILDFIRE SAFETY HEADING INTO WARMER MONTHS

As Escambia County progresses into the warmer months, Escambia County Fire Rescue urges residents to practice wildfire safety and use preventative measures to avoid creating wildfires.

As of March 22, the Florida Forest Service has Escambia County at a moderate risk for wildfires. Recently, wildfires have occurred in Cantonment and Walnut Hill.

“ECFR encourages residents to know the burn regulations for proper distance from other flammable materials and structures,” said Fire and Life Specialist Ray Melton. “Only small yard debris is permitted to be burned with a water source available. You should never leave any fire unattended. Additionally, children should not be near any outdoor burning, grills or other types of outdoor recreational fires. Pets and children should have a three-foot safety zone around outdoor cooking equipment and campfires. When camping, always carry extra water or a fire extinguisher to extinguish fires.”

If citizens choose to utilize outdoor burning as a method to remove vegetative debris, ECFR offers these outdoor burning regulation tips:

• It is illegal to burn household garbage (including paper products), treated lumber, rubber materials, tires, pesticides, paint and aerosol containers.

• Dry vegetative debris such as grass clippings, pine straw, leaves, tree limbs, and shrub trimmings can be legally burned between 8 a.m. and one hour before sunset if it is in a pile not larger than eight feet in diameter and located:

° 25 feet from any forested area (grasslands, brush or wildlands)

° 25 feet from your home or other combustible structure

50 feet from any paved or public roadway

° 150 feet from any occupied dwelling other than your own home

To ensure that a backyard debris burn is really out, citizens are encouraged to follow these steps:

• Drown the fire with water, turn over the ashes with a shovel and drown it again.

• Check the burn area regularly over the next several days.

• At the onset of warn, dry weather, especially when accompanied by wind, check the burn area again, even if it is a weeks after the burn.

Escambia County Fire Rescue proudly operates as a combination fire service, utilizing the talents and diversities of volunteer and career firefighting personnel. Career personnel operate in 14 stations throughout the county. 13 stations work a 48/96-hour shift, and two stations work Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteer firefighters operate out of numerous stations throughout Escambia County. Escambia County Fire Rescue also provides other emergency services such as hazardous materials response, special operations and ALS non-transport.

During the March 23 Escambia County Board of County Commissioners meeting, the board discussed potential projects in Escambia County to submit for grant approval as part of the Rebuild Florida Hurricane Sally Hometown Revitalization Program. Led by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s Office of Long-Term Resiliency, the program is designed to support the recovery of economic activity in commercial areas of Hurricane Sally-impacted towns and cities by facilitating the return and recovery of businesses, jobs, and provision of goods and services to the community.

The board has selected three projects to prioritize as part of the program. The projects include:

• ECAT solar-powered bus shelters with ADA upgrades

• Palafox Street sidewalks from Highway 29 to Nine Mile Road

• Regional sidewalk and drainage projects:

° Jackson Street sidewalks and drainage from 57th Avenue to New Warrington Road

° “W” Street sidewalks from Airport Boulevard to Highway 29

° Hollywood Avenue sidewalks and drainage from Massachusetts Avenue to Fairfield Drive

Escambia County values citizen and stakeholder engagement and will provide a reasonable opportunity of at least 30 days for citizen comment and ongoing citizen access to information about the use of these grant funds. During the development of the grant applications, the county will consult with disaster-affected citizens, stakeholders, local government, public housing authorities and other affected parties in the surrounding geographic area. The public comment period for these projects is open from Monday, March 27, until Wednesday, April 12. All public comments can be emailed to sallyrecoverygrant@myescambia.com.

RIVER ROAD CULVERT REPAIRS TO BEGIN MAY 16

Escambia County’s Construction Management Division will soon begin the River Road Culvert Repairs FEMA Project in District 1. Located approximately 2,040 linear feet north of the intersection of River Road and Perdido Key Drive, the project consists of replacing an existing culvert crossing, associated asphalt roadway and multiuse path damaged during Hurricane Sally.

Construction is expected to begin May 16, 2023, and be completed within 270 days, weather permitting. River Road will be closed at the project site during construction and a detour route will be provided to general and local traffic. Areas impacted during construction will be returned to their

HOUSE TAKES AIM AT VISIT FLORIDA FUNDING

TALLAHASSEE — House leaders want to cut off state funding for the Visit Florida tourism-marketing agency, with money instead drawn from the 62 county tourist-development councils.

But local tourism officials warn the proposed changes would harm efforts that last year helped lead to tourism numbers topping pre-pandemic levels.

Michael Corrigan, president and CEO of Visit Jacksonville, said the proposal would increase his organization’s annual payment to the public-private Visit Florida from $15,000 to $1.5 million.

“I think it is a brilliantly bad piece of legislation. The intent is to eliminate Visit Florida.” Corrigan said. “But in reality, it’s probably going to eliminate a lot of the local destination marketing organizations as well.”

The Republican-dominated House Regulatory Reform & Economic Development Subcommittee on Tuesday approved a bill (PCB RRS 23-02) that includes the proposed funding changes. Large counties would have to submit 5 percent of their tourism tax revenue to the state. Rural counties would provide 2 percent of their tourism revenue.

In return, Visit Florida would have to allocate 75 percent of the money to programs that directly assist rural counties, state parks and state forests. Local tourist-development tax revenues total about $1.5 billion this year, according to a House staff analysis.

Rep. Mike Giallombardo, a Cape Coral Republican who is a sponsor of the proposal, credited the state’s growing tourism numbers — 137.6 million visitors in 2022, 5 percent higher than the previous high in 2019 — to “supply and demand.”

“Florida was open. We had no masks. People came to Florida because we were free. Our beaches were open,” Giallombardo said.

Giallombardo added state’s funding of Visit Florida might have had some impact on the uptick, but the state being open “was all over the news.”

Rep. Angie Nixon, D-Jacksonville, described the proposal as “Robin Hooding” the money to smaller counties.

Visit Orlando President and CEO Casandra Matej said her organization might not be able to participate under the proposed funding formula and said Visit Florida has been critical in responding to crises.

“Think oil spills, Zika, hurricanes, red tide, algae blooms, Pulse nightclub or Surfside. Visit Florida has always been there to correct the misperceptions and get tourism back on

STUDENTS PROTEST HIGHER-ED PROPOSAL

Student groups held protests Tuesday to decry a higher-education bill designed to carry out Gov. Ron DeSantis’ push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs at state colleges and universities. The bill (HB 999), in part, would prohibit colleges and universities from spending state or federal money to “promote, support, or maintain” programs or activities that advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion or “promote or engage in political or social” activism. Groups such as the Florida Student Power Network and the Florida State University College Democrats and leaders from the Florida A&M University Pan-Hellenic Council held protests opposing the bill in the Capitol and on the FAMU campus. Ana Guevara, executive director of the Student Power Network, characterized the bill as an attempt to boost DeSantis’ profile as he sets the stage for a possible 2024 presidential candidacy. “As we enter another legislative session, we are seeing

POLSTON TO BECOME CITIZENS GENERAL COUNSEL

As he prepares to step down from the Florida Supreme Court, Justice Ricky Polston was named Wednesday as general counsel of the state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp. Polston, whose resignation from the

track,” Matej said.

The proposal is expected to generate $75 million a year for Visit Florida. But after three years, every county commission collecting tourist-development taxes would get to vote on sending their locally collected money to the state. If Visit Florida fails to draw $1 million a year, it would be closed.

Visit Florida, which has been targeted in the past by the House for closure, received $50 million from the state for the current fiscal year, which will end June 30. The Senate has proposed spending $80 million on Visit Florida during the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

An initial House budget proposal doesn’t include money for Visit Florida.

Senate Appropriations Chairman Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze, said Tuesday he expects the House and Senate to discuss Visit Florida during budget negotiations after the Easter holiday break.

In a news release, the tourism-industry group Destinations Florida argued the change would “cripple the ability of our state and our local communities to attract visitors” as competition grows for tourism dollars.

“This legislation would effectively destroy Visit Florida by gutting its functions and funding, leaving Florida at a global competitive disadvantage when it comes to promoting the state as a tourist destination,” the association said in the release. “It also strikes at local tourism promotion by sweeping local tourist-development taxes to Tallahassee and requiring that those taxes be reauthorized by referendum every six years, putting any organization that relies on those funds in jeopardy.”

The conservative group Americans for Prosperity-Florida praised the proposal.

“For far too long the state has funded programs like Visit Florida when not every county and city benefits from it,” Americans For Prosperity-Florida State Director Skylar Zander said in a prepared statement.

The tourism-funding changes were rolled out as the House also pursues a plan (HB 5) to close the doors on the business-recruitment agency Enterprise Florida and repeal a series of economic-development programs including the Office of Film and Entertainment.

A House staff analysis of the Enterprise Florida plan noted that Visit Florida has a $3.30 return on every $1 of advertising.

The House also is moving forward with a separate measure that seeks to shift programs within the Space Florida aerospace agency to the Department of Economic Opportunity and give the governor more control over Space Florida’s board of directors.

massive attacks on our communities for political gain as the governor is planning a 2024 presidential election,” Guevara said. Democratic lawmakers and Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried attended the protests. The proposal also would require the state university system’s Board of Governors to “periodically review the mission” of each university and direct the schools to remove any degree major or minor that incorporates “pedagogical methodology associated with” critical theory. The bill defines critical theory as including concepts such as critical race theory, which is based on the premise that racism is embedded in American institutions. During a news conference this month, DeSantis described diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as being among the “discriminatory programs and activities” that the bill seeks to eliminate. The House proposal would require approval from the Education & Employment Committee before it can be considered by the full House. A similar Senate bill (SB 266) would need approval from two committees before it could go to the full Senate.

CITIZENS INSURANCE SEEKS RATE

HIKES

JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE — Leaders of the statebacked Citizens Property Insurance Corp. approved a proposal Wednesday that would raise average rates by 14.2 percent this year, as they seek to push policies into the private insurance market.

The proposal would need approval from the Office of Insurance Regulation before it could take effect and would lead to increases that would vary by types of policy. For example, Citizens wants to raise rates on primary-residence multi-peril policies — the most-common type of homeowners’ coverage — by 12 percent, effective Nov. 1.

Before the Citizens Board of Governors approved the proposal, President and CEO Tim Cerio said Citizens’ rates are “artificially low” when compared to the private market. He said Citizens, which has seen massive growth during the past two years, needs to return to a smaller role in the market.

“For the economic well-being of the people of Florida, as well as for the good of Florida’s insurance market, Citizens must return to truly being that insurer of last resort for our state,” Cerio said. “We must charge actuarially sound rates, and we must not be competitive with the private market.”

Cerio and other Citizens officials hope that changes made during a December special legislative session will bolster the market, drawing more private insurers and reinsurance dollars to Florida. Changes include trying to curb lawsuits over insurance claims.

But Citizens has seen its policy count skyrocket from 569,868 on March 31, 2021, to 1,223,204 as of Friday, as private insurers have dropped customers and passed along major rate hikes because of financial troubles.

Cerio said Citizens expects to top 1.5 million policies by the end of this year.

Citizens Board of Governors Chairman Carlos Beruff praised the December legislation, but said “this isn’t a quick fix. It’s going to take time.”

DESANTIS SIGNS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed into law a $711 million plan to make housing more affordable for working Floridians. A priority of Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, the “Live Local Act,” will more than double funding for housing and rental programs, provide incentives for investment in affordable housing and encourage mixeduse developments in struggling commercial areas. “As demand is high to move to a place like Florida, it makes it more challenging for folks to be able to afford,” DeSantis said during a bill-signing event in Naples. “I think this is the biggest effort that’s ever been done in the history of Florida.” But the new law (SB 102) has drawn criticism from some groups because it will bar local rent controls and pre-empt local government rules on zoning, density and building heights in certain circumstances. Passidomo, R-Naples, said the goal is to make it possible for people to afford to live in neighborhoods where they

SENATE PANEL TARGETS ‘ESG’

As an indication of continuing rate increases in the private market, the Office of Insurance Regulation has scheduled two public hearings Thursday and two hearings next week on proposals for major hikes. Agendas for the Thursday hearings said First Community Insurance Co. is seeking an average 44.8 percent increase for homeowners multi-peril policies, while Kin Interinsurance Network is seeking an average 61.5 percent increase on such policies.

Citizens’ proposed average 14.2 percent increase involves “personal lines” policies, which include such things as coverage for single-family homes, condominium units, renters and mobile homes.

State law caps annual rate increases for Citizens customers whose homes are their primary residences and who have multi-peril policies. The cap is 12 percent this year and 13 percent in 2024.

But the December legislation (SB 2-A) allows annual increases up to 50 percent for homes that are not primary residences. That could lead to at least some second-home owners seeing hefty rate increases if regulators approve the Citizens proposal.

Citizens leaders, some lawmakers and insurance-industry officials have long complained that the annual caps have artificially held down rates, effectively leading to Citizens providing cheaper coverage than private insurers.

But the issue is politically difficult, at least in part because homeowners in many areas have few options for coverage other than Citizens.

Part of the focus on trying to move policies into the private market stems from financial risks. If, for example, Citizens would not have enough money to pay claims after a major hurricane, it could lead to policyholders throughout the state facing what are known as “assessments” on their policies.

“The larger we grow, the greater our exposure, and the greater our exposure, the greater the potential financial burden on the taxpayers of Florida, people who aren’t even Citizens customers,” Cerio said.

work. “Florida has attracted so many new people to move here. And that has just exacerbated the problem,” Passidomo said. “And we don’t have one solution to the problem.

But the Live Local Act is an amazing, multifaceted, 106-page bill of ideas and suggestions on how we can provide affordable, safe housing for our workers.” Among other things, the bill will create tax exemptions for developments that set aside at least 70 units for affordable housing and will speed permits and development orders for affordable-housing projects. The bill will provide money for a series of programs, including $252 million for the longstanding State Housing Initiatives Partnership, or SHIP, program; $150 million a year to the State Apartment Incentive Loan, or SAIL, program; and an additional $100 million for the Hometown Heroes program, which is designed to help teachers, healthcare workers and police officers buy homes. The state budget for the current year includes $362.7 million for affordable housing. The House on Friday voted 103-6 to approve the measure, after the Senate unanimously passed it on March 8.

court will take effect Friday, is slated to start next week as Citizens’ top legal officer. “It is just a perfect, perfect fit,” Citizens President and CEO Tim Cerio said Wednesday as the Citizens Board of Governors approved the appointment. Polston, 67, announced March 20 that he would leave the court after 14 years.

Cerio, a former Citizens general counsel, said Polston practiced law in the insurance field and has taught insurance law at the Florida State University law school.

The Senate on Wednesday started to move forward with a priority of House Speaker Paul Renner to prevent consideration of “environmental, social and governance” standards in investing government money. The Republican-controlled Senate Banking and Insurance Committee voted along party lines to approve a proposal (SB 302) that would expand on a directive issued last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis and members of the state Cabinet that required investment decisions in the Florida Retirement System Defined Benefit Plan to prioritize the highest returns without consideration of the standards known as “ESG.” The bill, sponsored by Sen. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, would require state and

local-government investment decisions to be based “solely on pecuniary factors” and would prevent “sacrificing investment return or undertaking additional investment risk to promote any non-pecuniary factor.” It would prevent fund managers from considering issues such as climate change and social diversity when deciding how to invest money. Sen. Bobby Powell, D-West Palm Beach, called the proposal “anti-free market” and questioned the ESG definition. “There’s a number of reasons that give me pause with regard to this legislation,” Powell said. “Overwhelmingly, the idea of freedom being redefined with a number of restrictions is problematic for me.” The House approved a similar proposal (HB 3) last week.
