Each year, the Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC) solicits legislative priorities from its member counties, including Nassau County. Prior to the start of the Legislative Session, the NEFRC, with guidance from the Legislative Policy Committee, develops the Northeast Florida Regional Priorities which highlight critical issues that often have a regional impact. At the Wednesday, September 17, 2025 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) discussed their top regional priorities to be submitted to the NEFRC for the upcoming Legislative Session. They are as follows:
Information about each priority and its overall effect on the region can be found in the attached Memorandum from County Manager Taco Pope. To hear the discussion, please visit the Clerk's Website to watch the meeting. The discussion is listed under "Tab J". -Sabrina Robertson Communications Officer  10/20/25 @ 9:15 a.m.

Nassau County BOCC staff are aware that a recent social media post has circulated claiming that the vendor who provides mobile veterinary services to Nassau County Animal Services (NCAS) is in breach of their contract with the County. The post originated from the Facebook Page “Nassau Voices for Animals & Shelter Reform” and has been reshared on multiple local pages by a former NCAS volunteer. These allegations are categorically false. The vendor is not in breach of their contract, and there are no “serious discrepancies”, as alleged. Rather, Nassau County’s mobile veterinarian is a valued partner of NCAS in providing necessary surgeries and other medical services to animals at the shelter. It is necessary that the false allegations against Nassau County and NCAS’s valued partner are addressed directly and clearly as the allegations go beyond misunderstanding the contract. It makes baseless accusations of fraud against Nassau County staff and NCAS’s mobile veterinarian, which we cannot leave uncorrected. Their claims are not accurate, as further substantiated in detail here on our webpage. It is extremely disappointing and unfortunate that individuals chose to forgo constructive dialogue with county staff prior to posting false allegations. The details of the contract and the vendor’s services would have been explained and would have quickly dispelled any misunderstandings. Open dialogue helps resolve issues, improve services, and ensure the best outcomes for the animals in NCAS care. Unfounded inflammatory posts on social media, however, are not productive. They undermine public trust, harm staff morale, and can potentially cause organizations and vendors, like NCAS’s valued mobile veterinarian, to question whether they want to partner with NCAS in the future if they, too, could be defamed online. This in turn impacts the animals that we are all here to support. Nassau County remains committed to serving this community with integrity and compassion. If you or others would like to better understand NCAS operations, county staff are happy to provide information and answer questions directly. Thank you for your continued support of Nassau County Animal Services and for keeping the focus where it belongs—on the well-being of the animals. 10/6/25 @ 9:00 a.m. - Below are public meetings scheduled for the week of October 6 - October 10, 2025.

We appreciate the Legislative Delegation for visiting Nassau County and for giving our community the opportunity to share needs and ideas ahead of the Legislative Session. We also appreciate our State Officials for all they do to secure Legislative funding on behalf of the County and their commitment to helping us improve the quality of life for our residents. -Sabrina Robertson Communications Officer 9/29/25 @ 9:15 a.m. Below are meetings scheduled for the week of September 29, - October 3, 2025.

This action is consistent with the BOCC's directives from the Annual Winter Strategic Planning Session, and the adopted Interim Strategic Plan, Fiscal Stewardship & Economic Prosperity (FS&EP), Initiative 3 to "ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and resiliency through sound financial policies/analysis, revenue/expenditure projections, capital planning and maintenance and budgetary practices." The Tentative Millage Rates were considered as follows:
The meeting included a presentation by Assistant County Manager Marshall Eyerman which outlined the BOCC's budget objectives and examples of service level changes over the past five years including increased attention to public safety and a continued focus on operational efficiencies. Mr. Eyerman stated, "We're able to accomplish many things by getting more and more efficient each year, and by relying on technology to improve processes." The presentation also included information on how tax dollars are allocated across the County (including the other Constitutional Offices). "For every dollar of Ad Valorem tax that we receive, 50% of that goes to our Constitutional Officers," Mr. Eyerman stated. To view the budget presentation by Mr. Eyerman, please visit the Clerk's website. A second and final public hearing is scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. -Sabrina Robertson Communications Officer   9/8/25 @ 9:00 a.m. - Below are public meetings taking place the week of September 8 - September 12, 2025.
