Statement of Public Notice Al Latimer read the statement of public notice indicating that the meeting had been advertised according to Florida Sunshine Law requirements and announced that a quorum was present. 2015-16 Budget Updates Bill Johnson addressed the urgency of securing passage of the $85 million requested for the Incentive Toolkit, and the $5 million requested for marketing the state. Johnson mentioned that the Senate and House were still in negotiations over these budget matters, and emphasized that $30 million is needed to cover current contractual obligations. He urged members to reach out to legislators they know and encourage them to fund the Incentive Toolkit and marketing budget requests. Mike Grissom commented that the return on investment (ROI) to the taxpayer for public dollars invested in job creation projects is five to one. Johnson underscored the need to continue to demonstrate this kind of return on investment in order to keep attracting domestic and international businesses to Florida, as well as to keep us competitive with other states. Belinda Keiser stated that it is imperative that EFI be provided the necessary toolkit support to continue their success in achieving Governor Scott s economic development goals, which have resulted in creating countless new jobs for Florida citizens since he took office. Keiser further stated that she would do her part to communicate this need to her legislative contacts throughout the state. Public Comment Stan Connally asked for public comment. None were made.
