    NOTICE
    VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD
    TAYLOR COUNTY, FLORIDA
    REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS FOR LEGAL SERVICES
    The Taylor County Value Adjustment Board (VAB) is requesting sealed proposals from individuals or firms to provide the following services: Legal counsel to the VAB , and to the Clerk to the VAB. Said counsel must have practiced law for a minimum of five (5) years, be in good standing with the Florida Bar, and may not represent the Property Appraiser, the Tax Collector, any taxing authority, or any property owner in any administrative or judicial review of property taxes. Legal counsel will attend all meetings of the VAB as they are scheduled, beginning in September, 2020, until the VAB process is completed. Counsel will be required to attend training provided by the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) as such training is made available for this VAB session.
    The Taylor County VAB is historically in session from September through November, with the majority of its’ meetings for hearing petitions being held in October through November. This is subject to change however, dependent upon the number of petitions filed with the Clerk to the VAB, how many new scheduling issues, and the need for the VAB to select and meet with new counsel. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE ATTORNEY TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL MEETINGS, AS THE VAB IS PRECLUDED FROM MEETING WITHOUT LEGAL COUNSEL PRESENT.
    Counsel will be expected to be experienced and familiar with researching Florida Law, Florida Administrative Code, and case law relevant to Real and Tangible Property Assessments, Exemptions, and property Classifications, so as to properly advise the VAB. The VAB attorney will be required to certify compliance with Chap. 194 F.S. prior to hearing any petitions.
    Legal counsel should avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest in their representation.
    Counsel will advise the VAB on issues of law and procedure in quasi-judicial hearings where the Property Appraiser and Petitioner may be represented by their respective legal counsel. Counsel will also write findings of facts and conclusions of law for each VAB Petition upon which the VAB renders a finding, to be attached to the Official Notice of Decision of the VAB issued by the Clerk. Counsel will also represent the VAB in post-hearing litigation in Circuit Civil Court, should any be initiated.
    The VAB will consider paying customary rates or fees for services which are negotiable with the VAB. This will likely be based upon customary hourly rates. Interested attorneys may wish to state their expected hourly rate(s) or schedule of fees.
    Interested attorneys should submit a Letter of Interest, stating they are in compliance with the specific qualifications and conditions as stated herein. Any summary of experience or specialty is welcome. A Florida Bar Number should be included, and copies of Certifications should be attached. The Letter of Interest should be submitted to the Taylor County Clerk of Court, Taylor County Courthouse, 108 North Jefferson Street, Suite 102, Post Office Box 620, Perry, Florida 32348, in sealed envelopes or packages and clearly marked on the outermost packaging: ”SEALED PROPOSAL FOR VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD LEGAL SERVICES”, Attention: Annie Mae Murphy, Clerk to the VAB, to arrive no later than 4:00 P.M. on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2019.

    Florida Department of Environmental Protection
    Division of Air Resource Management, Office of Permitting and Compliance
    Draft Permit No. 1230033-017-AV
    West Fraser, Inc., Perry Mill
    Taylor County, Florida
    Applicant: The applicant for this project is West Fraser, Inc. The applicant’s responsible official and mailing address are: Stephen Baxley, General Manager, West Fraser, Inc., Perry Mill, P.O. Box 1727, 1509 South Byron Butler Parkway, Perry, Florida 32348.
    Facility Location: The applicant operates the existing Perry Mill, which is in Taylor County at 1509 South Byron Butler Parkway in Perry, Florida.
    Project: West Fraser, Inc. submitted an application on October 7, 2019, to the Department for a Title V air operation permit renewal for the Perry Mill. The Perry Mill is categorized under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code No. 2421 (Sawmills and Planning Mills). This is a renewal of Title V Air Operation Permit No. 1230033-013-AV and includes the requirements established in Air Construction Permit No. 1230033-016-AC. EU 004 (Direct -Fired Lumber Kiln No. 3) has been demolished and removed from the facility. As a result, EU 004 is excluded from this renewal. The existing facility consists of several pieces of equipment used to process southern yellow pine logs into chips, bark, and graded lumber. This facility includes two direct-fired kilns, two silos for the fuel systems, a log debarker, saw, chipper, sorter, planer, cyclones, a hammer mill and an emergency fire pump engine. Southern pine logs arrive by truck and are unloaded in a log storage area prior to debarking. Debarked logs are sawed and then dried on-site in the kilns. Wood wastes are fed from the planer mill into the direct-fired kilns via silos and conveyors. The dried lumber is then planed, trimmed, and graded prior to shipment. Pursuant to Permit No. 1230033-016-AC, the facility’s new capacity shall not exceed 210 million board feet per year.
    Permitting Authority: Applications for Title V air operation permits are subject to review in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters 62-4, 62-210 and 62-213, of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed project is not exempt from air permitting requirements and a Title V air operation permit is required to operate the facility. The Office of Permitting and Compliance in the Division of Air Resource Management is the Permitting Authority responsible for making a permit determination for this project. The Permitting Authority’s physical address is: 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida. The Permitting Authority’s mailing address is: 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS #5505, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400. The Permitting Authority’s telephone number is 850/717-9000.
    Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), at the address indicated above for the Permitting Authority. The complete project file includes the draft permit, the Statement of Basis, the application, and the information submitted by the applicant, exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S. Interested persons may view the draft permit by visiting the following website: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/apds/default.asp and entering the permit number shown above. Interested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project review engineer for additional information at the address or phone number listed above.
    Notice of Intent to Issue Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue a renewed Title V air operation permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that continued operation of the existing equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-213, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a proposed permit and subsequent final permit in accordance with the conditions of the draft permit unless a response received in accordance with the following procedures results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.
    Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the draft Title V air operation permit for a period of 30 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Written comments must be received by the close of business (5:00 p.m.), on or before the end of this 30-day period by the Permitting Authority at the above address. As part of his or her comments, any person may also request that the Permitting Authority hold a public meeting on this permitting action. If the Permitting Authority determines there is sufficient interest for a public meeting, it will publish notice of the time, date, and location in the Florida Administrative Register (FAR). If a public meeting is requested within the 30-day comment period and conducted by the Permitting Authority, any oral and written comments received during the public meeting will also be considered by the Permitting Authority. If timely received written comments or comments received at a public meeting result in a significant change to the draft permit, the Permitting Authority shall issue a revised draft permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection. For additional information, contact the Permitting Authority at the above address or phone number.
    Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.
    A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address, any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.
    Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this written notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
    Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon.
    Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.
    Objections: Finally, pursuant to 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 7661d(b)(2), any person may petition the Administrator of the EPA within 60 days of the expiration of the Administrator’s 45-day review period as established at 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(1), to object to the issuance of any Title V air operation permit. Any petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the 30-day public comment period provided in the Public Notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates to the Administrator of the EPA that it was impracticable to raise such objections within the comment period or unless the grounds for such objection arose after the comment period. Filing of a petition with the Administrator of the EPA does not stay the effective date of any permit properly issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C. Petitions filed with the Administrator of EPA must meet the requirements of 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(2) and must be filed with the Administrator of the EPA at: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of the Administrator, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Mail Code: 1101A, Washington, DC 20460.
