Item R04 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 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.
