MONROFrf~SOLlJTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO SPLIT
THE BUDGET OF THE MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF FOR FISCAL YEAR
2000-2001 TO SET A SEPARATE MILLAGE FOR MUNICIPAL
POLICING, SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT
PORTION OF THE MCSO BUDGET; AUTHORIZING STAFF TO UTILIZE
THE EXISTING MSTU DISTRICTS TO REFLECT THE MILLAGE SPLIT;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE NOT TO BE IMPLEMENTED
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS ARE IN PLACE
FOR ALL MUNICIPALITIES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KEY WEST
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office (the MCSO) is funded
through ad valorem taxes collected countywide through the Monroe County Fine
and Forfeiture Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Sheriff provides services that fall within the categories of
law enforcement, corrections and court services; and
WHEREAS, while corrections and court services provide a benefit
countywide, a portion of the "law enforcement" related services provides a
benefit primarily to unincorporated areas of the County; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Key West, Islamorada, and Marathon petitioned the
BOCC to create a funding mechanism that would separate the cost of
unincorporated area municipal policing from those services that provide a benefit
countywide; and
WHEREAS, a motion of the Board of County Commissioners on June 10,
1999, asked the Sheriff to separate the law enforcement portion of his budget
between those services that are countywide in nature from those services that
are considered municipal policing; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That starting with Fiscal Year 2000-2001, the MCSO will
separately designate the cost of municipal policing, and the Board of County
Commissioners will recognize a separation of the MCSO budget for "Law
Enforcement" services for unincorporated area municipal policing.
Section 2. That the Board of County Commissioners shall, upon adoption of
the required ordinance, utilize the existing MSTU as a vehicle to fund the cost of
providing law enforcement services that are considered "unincorporated area
municipal policing."
Section 3. That the County staff and County Attorney are directed to take
all necessary steps to timely create a funding mechanism (taxing district(s) or
special district) necessary for the collection of these funds for Fiscal Year 2001-
2002 and future years.
Section 4. That for future budgetary forecasting by the municipalities
located within the County as well as the MCSO's budget, the County Attorney is
directed to present an interlocal agreement to the municipalities that reflects the
County's direction to take the above-referenced action for Fiscal Year 2000-2001.
Section 5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, no
municipal policing millage shall be established, nor will the MCSO budget be
separated as contemplated in this Resolution, until an interlocal agreement as set
forth in Section 4 has been executed by each municipality other than Key West,
and by Monroe County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe
County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held on the 16th day of
March, 2000.
