explained that there was Legislation that passed last year and there was Legislation that was <br />already on the books that dealt with the powers of a Charter county for new CRAs. <br />Commissioner Davis sought to broaden his knowledge on what legislatively is in <br />place with negotiating powers between a municipality and a Charter form of government for a <br />CRA. <br />County Attorney William Collins explained that whatever is set out in the Statute is <br />considered general and whether Charter or non -Charter any law passed has to be consistent with <br />State law. <br />Ms. Delegal referred Commissioner Davis to Chapter 163 where there are certain <br />notice provisions that are now in place. <br />Sal Neglia, Councilmember, City of Sebastian wanted to know how becoming a <br />Charter government would affect municipalities in DST, gas tax, and franchise fees, and whether a <br />county would receive more or if it affected it at all. Ms. Delegal said it does not affect it at all. <br />Joseph Paladin, 6450 Tropical Isle, noticed that in a lot of the Charters the <br />municipality prevail and thought that was done for cooperation between the municipality and the <br />county and wondered if that would be voluntary or not. <br />Chairman Wheeler remarked that they would need to have workshops to get inputs <br />from municipalities and work with them on this. <br />Mr. Paladin was also concerned about moving the urban service line. He asked if <br />there was any data on how many times the urban service boundary is moved with or without the <br />Charter being in place in the State of Florida. Ms. Delegal did not have the answer but felt Charter <br />counties could be surveyed to find out. <br />Public Workshop 01/17/07 7 <br />Charter Government <br />
