Good morning Mr. Slavin

Thank you for your emails. I will ask Ms. Dixon to begin working on the responsive documents. As you know, a number of your questions will not have a document responsive to your request. However, I would be happy to sit down with you and answer your questions.

I hope you have a good day.

Rich Komando

Dear Chair Joseph, Vice Chair Murphy, Commissioners Taylor, Whitehurst and Arnold:
1. Under the Restatement of Contracts, 2nd, section 178 (Contract violations of public policy), a contract in violation of public policy is void ab initio.. 
2. That's how We, the People got the Anastasia Mosquito Control Commission of St. Johns County to vote unanimously in 2007 to cancel an illegal $1.8 million no-bid helicopter contract with Textron's Bell Helicopter Co. for a luxury jet helicopter incapable of killing a single skeeter. AMCD got a full refund of our deposit.  
3. We the People need stricter scrutiny of our County government spending.  Our budget questions must be answered by our staff.  In the past, staff has obstructed answers, refusing answer any of the 104 questions that I submitted on our FY 2024 budget before the 2023 TRIM hearings, while refusing to provide a list of our internal controls in the wake of $786,785 in SJSO embezzlement over fice years. The errant County Budget director in quo, Jesse Dunn, has now been promoted to Deputy St. Johns County Administrator by County Administrator Joy Q. Adams
See Florida Statute 129.08 (County commissioner voting to pay illegal claim or for excess indebtedness); F.S. 129.09 (County auditor not to sign illegal warrants)
4. Please feel free to call me to discuss.
5. Please vote to request a State AG opinion re: .RICHARD CHRISTIAN KOMANDO's representation of three (3) different counties.
6. Please request staff to provide prompt responses to my pending Open Records requests. 
7. It's our money. It's our government.
