bUOK �� tJ �.G f'�Ct •.�� � <br />Commissioner Ginn questioned the state requirement for payment of these <br />administrative fees. <br />Commissioner Macht noted that arguments had been proposed, such as the fact that <br />these fees could be considered double taxation. Also appropriate state officials had been <br />asked what they are getting paid to administer and they have had no answers. He did not <br />believe the County should submit to extortion. <br />Budget Director Joe Baird advised that the fees include a new charge for Wabasso <br />Park, Treasure Shores Park, and the Corporation # 11 property but that the law requires the <br />County to pay them. His concern was that the state might possibly use the nonpayment <br />against the County in its applications for CARL and Preservation 2000 funds. <br />Commissioner Adams noted that each Commissioner has at least one special project <br />where they would love to use this money. <br />Chairman Tippin felt the subject should be brought up with the Florida Association <br />of Counties and that all the counties should join together in their refusal to submit to these <br />fees. He asked for permission to discuss the matter with FACo and CONSENSUS was <br />reached to bring the matter before FACo at the next opportunity. <br />Commissioner Macht felt that the matter should also be presented to the current <br />legislature. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously denied the payment of $4,500 in <br />administrative fees to the state and denied Budget <br />Amendment 009. <br />FEBRUARY 10, 1998 <br />2e <br />so 0 <br />
