AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: August 20, 2003
Division:
District 1
Bulk Item: Yes
No
Department: Mayor Dixie M. Spehar
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Discussion regarding a County-wide Health and Human Service special taxing district, which would be
established for non-profit funding and health insurance subsidy, once the County-wide health insurance
trust fund is created. It is recommended that this taxing district have an advisory board appointed by
the municipalities and unincorporated Monroe County.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
We have reached the need to create a funding source for non-profits that serve County-wide due to the
state's withdrawal of funding and the growing need for a committed funding source. We also will need
to have dedicated funds to subsidize the future Health Insurance Trust Fund for residents in Monroe
County, Upon Board approval this should be taken to the various municipalities for their approval and
presented to the Supervisor of Elections no later than the first part of January 2004 to be on the March
2004 ballot.
