A RESOLUTION OF BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, OPPOSING STATE LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD CUT REVENUE SHARING TO
FLORIDA COUNTIES
WHEREAS, Indian River County has received revenue sharing from the State of Florida on
a historical basis; and
WHEREAS, recent cuts of revenue sharing will provide an immediate financial burden to
Indian River County; and
WHEREAS, the County may be forced to cut services and raise taxes if growth in the county
tax base does not meet this deficit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that the County is opposed to the
significant intangible tax cut and would encourage the Florida Legislature to hold Florida counties
harmless, and support the Governor's version.

and upon being put to a vote, the vote was as follows:
