Subject: Pubic Records Request

BACKGROUND:

UPRD spent umpteen thousands of dollars trying to support ex-Supervisor Dickson's assertion that she was not conflicted by serving on the Board of UPRD AND on the Management Committee its key vendor, PBM.

Despite a letter from the State of Florida in Q4, 2025 that reached the opposite conclusion, Dickson claimed the letter somehow supported her assertion that there was no conflict.

While she resigned from the PBM Management Committee [temporarily], she again continued to pursue this dead end by [unilaterally...without Board approval??] instructing Blalock to continue to arm wrestle with the State of Florida to obtain a ruling that supported her personal agenda.

It was reported at the April 10 UPRD BoS Meeting that the State of Florida affirmed that a Supervisors cannot sit on the Board/Management Committee of its vendor(s).

Dickson was 100% INCORRECT on this issue, as she has been time and time again on many, many issues that have cost UPRD time and treasure over the past several years in her administration.

Hopefully Dickson accepts this conclusion and does not ask UPRD to spend more money on escalating this issue further. With her resignation, it's most likely a moot

point...but a reminder/lesson-learned to Supervisors to not sit idly by while other Supervisors chase unicorns and rainbows and waste scare UPRD resources.

PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST:

Please provide the DRAFT opinion [referred to by Mark Barnebey in the April 10, 2026 UPRD Board Meeting] from State of FL that concluded Dickson did, indeed, have a conflict by serving on the Board of UPRD AND its key vendor [i.e., PBM]
