<br />RESOLUTION NO. 2008- 13J 2. <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SUNNY <br />ISLES BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO <br />EQUALIZE FUNDING BASED ON POPULATION TO PROVIDE EACH <br />REGION OF FLORIDA, INCLUDING SOUTH FLORIDA, ITS FAIR SHARE <br />OF STATE FUNDING; DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO TRANSMIT <br />SAID RESOLUTION; PROVIDING FORAN EFFECTIVE DATE. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature recently approved a state budget for fiscal year 2008-09 <br />of approximately $66 billion; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the state's fiscal year 2008-09 budget cut approximately $5 billion from the <br />previous year's budget of more than $71 billion; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, it has long been the public perception that the residents of the City Sunny Isles <br />Beach (the "City"), Miami-Dade, and Broward County pay more in taxes to the State of Florida than <br />their residents get back in state programs and services; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, a recent study by the Miami Herald concluded that the people of Miami-Dade <br />and Broward Counties sent over $7.15 billion in tax revenues to Tallahassee annually, but receive <br />only $6.69 million back, resulting in a difference of$460 million, which equals $144 for every adult <br />in these two counties; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, state funding probably can never be an exact science, but the City requests the <br />Florida Legislature to the fullest extent possible to provide each different region of the state its fair <br />share of state funding, <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE <br />CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />Section 1. Request to Legislature. The City Commission hereby requests the Florida Legislature <br />provide to each region of Florida, including South Florida, its fair share of state funding. <br /> <br />Section 2. Directive to City Clerk. The City Commission hereby directs the City Clerk to <br />transmit certified copies of this resolution to the Governor, the President of the Florida Senate, the <br />Speaker of the Florida House, the Mayor and Members of the Miami-Dade County Board of <br />Commissioners, and the City's lobbyists. <br /> <br />Section 3. <br /> <br />Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon adoption. <br /> <br />PASSED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of September 2008. <br /> <br />R2008 - Funding Based On Population <br /> <br />Page I 01'2 <br />
