County spending big to reduce jobless rate

That would block the rain and contain space for the future installation of a conveyor system that would ease the loading process.

Moreover, the contractor would make drainage improvements to capture sludge spills that are now dried with lime and swept up.

Last week the County Commission considered a DeLand-based company's $111,725 bid on the project, which had bested the offer from an Ocala firm by almost $8,000.

Hoping to give a local company a boost, the board unanimously torpedoed the deal and ordered its staff to rebid the entire project. The move means an already six-month-old problem won't be fixed for at least another two months.

But the decision also serves as another example among many in recent years when the Republican-dominated County Commission has toned down its homage to the competitive free market and the greater efficiency of the private sector in favor of government intervention designed to help local companies.

The 2009 “buy local” ordinance the commission sought to trigger last Tuesday is just one arrow in a quiver that now includes direct cash infusions of taxpayer money, tax breaks, freezing impact fees and hiring new staff dedicated to improving the economic climate.

Over the past three years the County Commission has supported, spent, pledged or passed through about $26.2 million of taxpayer money in order to create jobs in Marion County.

The evolution in the board's mindset was evident Tuesday when County Commissioner Carl Zalak asked that the county's deal with McLean and White, the DeLand company rejected for the Utilities Department project, be pulled.

The offer from the runner-up, Genesis Construction and Management of Ocala, ran 7 percent higher than that of McLean and White.

Zalak questioned why that 2009 ordinance — which mandates a bidding runoff when a local contractor is within 5 percent of an out-of-town company — was not invoked.

He believed the commission had already adopted a staff recommendation to up the margin to 10 percent — as was done during a public hearing later in Tuesday's session.

Moving to Pensacola FL - Make It Easy on ... - Pensacola FL Homes

Moving to Pensacola, FL  can be a difficult process for everyone in the family including your furry little friends. When moving with pets, finer details need to be taken into consideration.

Pets can not understand their owner explaining how the moving process works or why they are  relocating to Pensacola  in the first place .   Therefore, it’s important to make your pet as comfortable as possible with a pet plan and well developed decisions.

Before moving, pet owners need to plan ahead and take the following into consideration:

Each state has different immunization laws and some countries require pets to go into isolation before being transported, insuring new diseases are not being brought in to their country. If your pet is being moved to a drastically different climate, you should try to prepare your furry friend for any temperature difference. You don’t  does not plan in advance, your pet might become over whelmed and not take moving to Pensacola, FL  very well.

No matter how a pet is being moved, you need to do a few things prior to moving day. Take a picture of your pet because If it runs off or gets lost, will have a current picture on you at all times.  This will help enable the owner to find the animal. The animal also needs to have a collar with identification. Pet identification should be an accurate cell phone number and the address of your new Pensacol, FL home . I say a cell phone number because if your pet is lost on the road, you’ll most likely not be near your home phone or your new number might not be set up.

You also should buy a pet carrier that is comfortable for your pet. Whether your pet is being transported by plane or car, the carrier needs to have plenty of ventilation breathing room. Prior to moving day, keep the carrier open in the house so your pet can explore and know the carrier is a safe zone. Plus, your pet will be more willing to go into the carrier once it’s time go.
