The County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) requires acceptance from the Board of
County Commissioners. The Report is prepared by the Clerk Comptroller's Office. As a final step,
the Board should accept the FY 2017 CAFR as audited by Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC, the County’s
auditing firm. The CAFR and SAS 114 letter is available on the Clerk’s website, which can be
accessed from the County’s webpage, at the following link:

Item 2

Presentation to the Board of County Commissioners by the Vice-Chairman of the
St. Johns County Continuum of Care regarding affordable housing.

The St. Johns County Continuum of Care (CoC) is a collaborative of homeless stakeholders from
across St. Johns County who are committed to ending homelessness through sharing
expertise, using data to inform practice, monitoring system performance, and using a
collective voice to advocate for our homeless population. The Continuum of Care (CoC)
Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending
homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local
governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing
the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities
by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by
homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and
families experiencing homelessness. The CoC has standing Committees to address
certain aspects related to homelessness and when necessary will convene an Ad Hoc
Committee to address a specific concern. This presentation will address an Affordable
Housing Position Paper developed by the Affordable Housing Ad Hoc Committee of the
CoC.

Item 8

St. Johns Welfare Federation d/b/a BayView Assisted Living at Buckingham
Smith Enhanced Funding Request.

On October 19, 2017, the BCC approved the St.
Johns Welfare Federation d/b/a BayView Assisted Living at Buckingham Smith
contract extension for a three month term at the request of the Health and Human
Services Advisory Council, until an amended contract could be completed in order to
enhance the service provisions provided to the residents of St. Johns County. Upon
contract negotiations, BayView disclosed that the original approved budgeted amount
would not be sufficient to continue operations at Buckingham Smith ALF. At the May
15, 2018 BCC meeting, staff was directed to identify sources of bridge funding to
sustain the Buckingham Smith program for the remainder of FY18. An amended
contract in the amount of $78,798, was approved at the June 19, 2018 BCC meeting.
BayView has again indicated that an additional $394,387 is needed to continue the
program through August of 2019. Staff identified $141,660 that was previously
approved and appropriated in the FY18 HHS budget for site development of the
homeless campus at SR 207. The balance of the requested amount ($252,727) would
require a transfer from the General Fund reserves. This request is a one time
allocation; future funding is not considered in this action. Bayview has provided a
sustainability plan and a budget for the remainder of FY 18 and is attached in this
agenda packet. Should the BCC approve the funding request made by St. Johns
Welfare Federation d/b/a BayView Assisted Living, it is requested that the Board direct
staff to proceed with the development of a one time funding agreement between the
County and St. Johns Welfare Federation. The proposed funding agreement will be
brought before the Board of County Commissioners for review and approval.
