BOOK 95 pn� 908 7 <br />OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE COMMENT <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of August 3, 1995: - <br />TO: Commissioner Carolyn K. Eggert <br />FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attorney7t?�36 <br />DATE: August 3, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: USE OF OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX REVENUES <br />You have asked this office a question concerning the use of revenues <br />generated by the local occupational license tax. The question is related <br />to an article by Milt Thomas in the August 1995 Treasure Coast <br />Business Journal. <br />Occupational license tax revenues may be used for any lawful purpose; <br />however, Section 205.033 (7) , F . S . , which appears to be legislative <br />direction, provides as follows: <br />7) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this <br />chapter, the revenue received from a county occupational <br />license tax may be used for overseeing and implementing a <br />comprehensive economic development strategy through <br />advertising, promotional activities, and other - sales and <br />marketing techniques. <br />Commissioner Eggert recalled that during consideration of the <br />occupational license ordinance, the question had come up whether <br />those dollars could be used for economic development. Since they <br />can, she felt it was something to be considered in the future when <br />incentive requests are presented. <br />SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT <br />The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment, the <br />Board would convene as the Board of Commissioners for a Special <br />Meeting of the Solid Waste Disposal District. Those Minutes are <br />being prepared separately. <br />60 <br />August 8, 1995 <br />
