The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Amended Motion carried unanimously <br />13.D. RESOLUTION CONCERNING ALL ABOARD FLORIDA (AAF) <br />County Attorney Dylan Reingold recalled the Board's direction on April 1, 2014 for staff <br />to draft a Resolution to ask all donor governmental agencies to require All Aboard Florida <br />(AAF) to pay for the full cost of its high speed railway project; and to request that any financial <br />assistance given to AAF is proffered at no less than market rates. He advised the Board that <br />copies of the Resolution will be mailed to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA); the State <br />of Florida; the Orlando -Orange County Expressway Authority; the Greater Orlando Aviation <br />Authority, and all other applicable authorities. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis to approve <br />Resolution 2014-033 urging all potential donor agencies <br />to require All Aboard Florida to pay for all costs of All <br />Aboard Florida and that any governmental assistance <br />shall be provided at no less than market rates; and <br />directing certified copies of this resolution to be provided <br />to any applicable donor agencies. <br />Commissioner Zorc suggested amending the wording in the fourth WHEREAS clause <br />which infers that AAF is the sole beneficiary of the $215 million in State funding for a rail <br />station at the Orlando International Airport. <br />Commissioner Solari suggested changing the wording to indicate that the $215 million <br />will "benefit" rather than "serve" All Aboard Florida. <br />April 8, 2014 20 <br />
