AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
A request of the Board of County Commissioners to direct Commissioner Neugent to seek
input from the municipalities to obtain consensus to propose to State Representative Ron
Saunders legislation that would allow Monroe County to create a one -penny sales tax to
utilize for funding a $350 million dollar un-funded mandate by the State of Florida to
achieve AWT of Wastewater. State Rep. Saunders has expressed that he does not oppose
such a move and feels if the voters of Monroe County want to impose, through
referendum, a one penny sales tax that he would support the same.

AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval by the Monroe County Board of Commissioners to request our State Representative to
introduce emergency legislation at the September 19, 2007 legislature special session, to allow
Monroe County, if approved by the voters, to add an additional one penny to Monroe County
sales tax specifically for wastewater and stormwater infrastructure implementation cost.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Based upon the 2010 unfunded mandate by the legislature to achieve a high degree of wastewater
treatment and stormwater retention, it would only seem fair for the legislators to allow us to request
from the voters to establish a revenue stream to pay for the implementation.
