On Monday September 30, 2019, event staff will research www.SunBiz.org to validate the entity’s current non-profit status. After proof of non-profit status is completed, a check for all tires and signs brought to the event will be mailed to the Registered Agent at the Principal Address listed for that entity on www.SunBiz.org. Prior to the check delivery, the organization will be notified via regular mail sent to the Principal Address that they will need to supply a W-9 to the City so a check can be issued.
If proof of non-profit cannot be validated by Monday September 30, 2019, the City will send notification of the validation search results to the address that is listed on the one page letterhead (see Condition 2). The addressee has until Friday, September 13, 2019 close of business (5:00 PM) to claim the reward money. The person or persons listed on the receipt can come to the City’s Solid Waste Division located at 1031 Superior Street, Jacksonville, Florida to claim the reward money. Please note, each individual listed on the receipt must show proof of ID matching the information on the City’s receipt. The City will only provide the reward money as per normal guidelines, $2.00 per tire up to 10 tires and $0.50 per sign up to 40 signs per Duval County resident. Upon proof the individual(s) match the information on the receipt, the City will specify the date when the individual(s) can return to collect the reward money.
