AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the provision of law enforcement services to the City of Marathon,
Florida (the "City") is provided by the Monroe County Sheriff's Department (the "Sheriff");

WHEREAS, the services are currently funded by an ad valorem millage paid by the
residents of the City that includes both county wide and municipal type services from the

WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners recognized that in
order to achieve full cost allocation of services, the funding for the Sheriff's services should be
identified and separated by those functions that are countywide versus municipal in nature; and
WHEREAS, the County adopted Resolution No. _ authorizing the splitting of the
Sheriff's budget into a countywide millage rate and a municipal millage component; and
WHEREAS, the Resolution requires the Sheriff to enter into an Interlocal Agreement

01 that separates the millage; and
