C.,N~
C l_ "A H .RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
~tONROF CObWI[S$I0NERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
REQUESTING THAT THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE
OF FLORIDA MAKE THE UNFUNDED MANDATE
LEGISLATION SPECIFICALLY APPLICABLE TO
EXPENDITURES INCURRED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WHICH ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO STATE GROWTH
MANAGEMENT MANDATES.
WHEREAS,
the
State
of
Florida's
growth management
legislation, particularly Sees. 163.3161, et seq., Fla. Stat.,
known as the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and
Development Regulation Act, and Sees. 380.05, et seq., Fla.
Stat., the area of critical state concern sections of the Florida
Environmental Land and Water Management Act of 1972, have created
a large appetite for local tax dollars for capital projects that
range from roads to the purchase of preservation lands; and
WHEREAS, the County Commission has no choice except to tax
and spend revenue on those expensive proj ects because, without
such expenditures,
the State legis lation would cause a
development moratorium in most of Monroe County with a consequent
disaster for the local economy; and
WHEREAS, the point has been reached in Monroe County where
many taxpayers can no longer bear the financial grind of the
taxes directly caused by the State mandated growth management
legislation and other State social, welfare, transportation and
regulatory actions; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
The Legislature of the State of Florida is hereby requested
to
tie
the
effectiveness
of
its
growth
limitation
mandates, especially Chaps. 163 and 380, Fla. Stat., to the
provision by the State of adequate funds for the capital projects
made necessary by such legislation.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held
on the
16th day of September
1992.
