DETAIL ON THE LOCAL NOTICE OF PROPOSED TAXES AND THE
LOCAL TAX BILL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE GREATER DETAIL AS TO
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL TAX IMPOSED THAT EACH
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, DISTRICT AND FUND RECEIVES.
WHEREAS, in each county and municipality there are a number
of special purpose districts, e.g. Mosquito Control, or funds
devoted to special purposes, e.g., the fine and forfeiture fund
(the Sheriff and criminal justice); and
WHEREAS, the annual notice of proposed taxes and the tax
bill, which contain the total imposition of all governmental
entities, districts and funds, insufficiently identifies the
total taxes imposed into the various percentages each entity,
district and fund receives; and
WHEREAS, the public finds it difficult to understand a tax
bill when they are only provided with non-specific data which
fails to furnish sufficiently detailed information so as to
enable the public to properly evaluate governmental performance
and fiscal responsibility; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
