Rachael,

Attached is some of the Mosquito Control information that was discussed by the County Commission
when their incorporation into the County was considered in 2011 as part of our Legislative Action
Plan. Jerry, Darrell, and I have discussed it and do not feel it would be wise to take on this issue at this
time. This may get resolved, in part, through this year's election process.

In the meantime, I have asked Doug, in OMB, to assemble some talking points for the Commissionís
Budget Public Hearing this coming Wednesday. That way one or more of the Commission can go on
record stating the Commission does not have any control over the Anastasia Mosquito Districtís
operations or budget.
