WHEREAS, regardless of the approach taken to implement the provisions of Section <br /> NOW 215.89, Florida Statutes, significant resources will be required to achieve the goals of the chief <br /> financial officer; and <br /> WHEREAS, the cost of implementing the Uniform Chart of Accounts far exceeds any <br /> benefit that taxpayers may accrue; and <br /> WHEREAS, we believe that transparency and accountability of the use of public funds to <br /> citizens and other stakeholders is paramount but that it must be done while simultaneously <br /> limiting the burden to the entities and preserving the autonomy of each entity of government; and <br /> WHEREAS, we believe that legislation be enacted that prescribes minimum desired <br /> transparency reporting by local governments, leaving it to the local governments to include such <br /> information on their web sites, and that such legislation should not impose significant financial <br /> burdens on local governments. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br /> COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br /> Section 1. That the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida <br /> urges members of the Florida Legislature to oppose legislation that would mandate the use of a <br /> uniform chart of accounts for all governmental entities to report financial information on a <br /> monthly basis to the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida. <br /> Section 2. That a copy of this resolution be sent to Honorable Senator Joe Negron; <br /> Honorable Senator Thad Altman; and Honorable Representative Debbie Mayfield. <br /> PASSED AND ADOPTED by the this Day of 2013. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> Submitted by: <br /> 99 <br />
