Attorney Brandenburg explained that many counties have <br />different ideas on how to calculate to tax cap. He noted <br />that Collier County has taken a very restrictive position, <br />but felt we should support their effort to change the <br />language in the proposed legislation. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, to <br />authorize the Chairman to send Collier <br />County a letter supporting their position <br />in regard to aggregate millage cap. <br />Commissioner Scurlock had a real concern about <br />districts being created especially to circumvent the intent <br />of the State Legislature and to get out from underneath the <br />millage cap. <br />Commissioner Lyons agreed there is some reason for <br />_ ' <br />concern, but believed districts such as the street lighting <br />districts where people have desired to impose certain <br />conditions on themselves to acquire additional services <br />should be,\considered separately and should not affect the <br />millage cap. <br />In further dispussion, it was agreed it should be made <br />clear in our letter that we are looking at exempting only <br />the very special services imposed by people on themselves. <br />The Chairman CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />42 <br />
