The Program created revenue through legal settlements with facilities violating the terms of their permits. There were some expenses in paying consultants to assist in developing best management practices for these facilities and also an extensive amount of staff time to perform the work for this initiative. We estimate that 1 2 of staff time was spent on this initiative. 71825 0 50000 The Public Trusts Tree Stewardship Program helped to continue revolutionizing the way in which the City of Jacksonville and nonprofits plant trees all across Duval County and strengthened the citys urban forestry programs. The Public Trust continued work with the Citys Tree Commission to coordinate programs that will help create a more robust tree canopy program. For example we developed a tree-planting project at Naval Station Mayport. We will be receiving administrative fees as a government grant from the City of Jacksonville for this project but they have not yet been received and we received a grant of $50,000 to support this work related to tree planting. We estimate that 1 4 of staff time was spent on this initiative. 70825 0 300000 The Public Trusts Revive Initiative works to create and sustain beautiful green spaces in Jacksonville that can prove so important in creating community. Our intent is to help support transformative and sustainable change in the heart of Jacksonvilles urban core within communities that historically have been marginalized and underserved. For example in 2023 we continued our initiative to support the development of new playground equipment and a new urban farm in the New Town Neighborhood. We estimate that 1 4 of staff time was spent on this initiative. 0 0 0 285300 true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 false false false 5 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL X X John November 9045253042 2029 3RD ST N JAX BCH FL 322507429 Warren K Anderson Jr Board Member President 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Dodson Board Member Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Leslie Jean-Bart Board Member Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jason Ellis Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wayne Hogan Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John November Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X X 99950 0 12000 99950 0 12000 0 false false false 0 0 4594 0 0 536235 9753 540829 Stormwater Enforcement Settlement Proceeds 172000 172000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 172000 3001 3001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4594 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bank Reimbursement Issue 3814 3814 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3814 719644 178815 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99950 99950 0 0 0 0 0 0 24554 24554 0 0 0 0 0 0 17500 0 17500 0 9525 0 9525 0 14200 0 14200 0 157326 157326 0 0 1573 0 1573 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18116 0 18116 0 5629 0 5629 0 13825 0 13825 0 544 0 544 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1184 1184 0 0 0 0 0 0 2286 2286 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2110 0 2110 0 Sofware Subscription 460 0 460 0 Printing and Reproduction 783 0 783 0 Postage and Delivery 417 0 417 0 Corporate Registration Expenses 475 0 475 0 28827 0 28827 0 399284 285300 113984 0 0 0 0 0 176394 496754 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 176394 496754 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 176394 496754 0 0 176394 496754 176394 496754 320360 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 220030 214663 384075 252213 240829 1311810 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 220030 214663 384075 252213 240829 1311810 206747 1105063 1417 451 54 222 3001 5145 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1316955 0 0.8391 0.5725 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X 1 1 0 0 0 1 true 1 0 true Part II, line 5 The Executive Director reviews the organizations written policy regarding the periodic monitoring inspection handling of violations and enforcement of the conservation easement prior to the annual inspection of the small conservation easement we hold.
