EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Report to the Board of County Commissioners on the Collier County 2009 State
Legislative Priorities and the Collier County Legislative Delegation 2009 Priorities
OBJECTIVE: To present to the Board of County Commissioners a report requested at the
regular meeting on April 28, 2009, of the Collier County 2009 State Legislative Priorities
and the Collier County Legislative Delegation priorities. Specifically, the Board requested
that staff provide a side-by-side chart showing the county's priorities, legislation filed
during the 2009 Legislative Session supporting and/or opposing those county priorities,
and the votes for each by the seven members of the Collier County Legislation Delegation.
Commissioners expressed an interest also in including some issues of major importance to
the community that were not included in the list of county priorities.
CONSIDERATION: The Board of County Commissioners approved the Collier County
2009 State Legislative Priorities on December 3, 2008 (Agenda Item lOG). The approved
list was presented to the Collier County Legislative Delegation at the Delegation's Public
Meeting and Hearing on December 10,2008, by then Board Chairman Tom Henning in the
County Commission chambers. Prior to that, the Board and Delegation met jointly on
November 14, 2008, for a Pre 2009 Legislative Session Workshop to discuss the county's
draft priorities which had been discussed at a Board meeting for the first time on October
28, 2008. Delegation members who missed the opportunities to meet with Commissioners
received copies of the county priorities in the Delegation Chairman's prepared books as
well as other correspondence from county staff.
To evaluate Collier County Legislative Delegation priorities, staff has attached a Legislator
Profile for each of the seven members which includes in addition to occupation and
biographical information, bill sponsorships, co-sponsorships, amendments filed and
committee assignments. Whereas the County Commission endorses a set of legislative
priorities annually as a body, the Delegation does not as a group.
A side-by-side chart (attached) has been prepared as requested with Collier County 2009
State Legislative Priorities, legislation supporting and opposing if it exists, and the votes of
members of the Collier County Legislative Delegation.
To accompany and explain the chart, the following are the Collier County 2009 State
Legislative Priorities and the legislation during the 2009 Legislative Session:

dB?-
HB 1495 by Rep. Nelson passed; Sen. Richter's HB 1950 was laid on the table. The bill
implements a rate "glide path" capped at 10 percent per year for Citizens' policy holders
until rates are actuarially sound. The Legislature is allowing the increase of premiums
because Citizens is not solvent. In the event of a major storm, Citizens could not payoff all
claims and all taxpayers would be vulnerable.
II. Affordable Housing - Support removal of the cap on Sadowski Housing
Trust Funds
HB 1041 by Rep. Schenck included a provlSlon removing the cap on the Sadowski
Housing Trust Funds but it was stripped out when the affordable housing legislation was
amended onto the Growth Management Bill (SB 360).
III. Impact Fees - Support maintaining home rule authority over
administration of the County's existing impact fee program
HB 227 by Rep. Aubuchon, Impact Fees, which passed, provides that in any action
challenging an impact fee, the government has the burden of proving by a preponderance
of the evidence that the fee meets the requirements of state legal precedent or the Impact
Fee Act. All Collier Delegation members voted for Rep. Aubuchon's burden-of~proofbill;
the House members also voted for the "freeze" on impact fees but that provision was
struck in the Senate. HB 227 is harmful and sets a bad precedent for county programs
statewide. Commissioners, staff and those who truly understand the program, including
debt service obligations, continue to repeat the message that home rule authority is best for
the administration of a local government's impact fee program because no one-size-fits-all
rules and regulations from the Florida Legislature will succeed.
IV. Home Rule - Protect home rule authority of County government
SB 216 by Sen. Justice entitled Campaign Financing/Local Government Expenditures
prohibits a local government from expending, and a person or group from accepting, public
funds for a political advertisement or electioneering communication concerning an issue,
referendum, or amendment that is subject to the vote of the electors. This bill is a possible
threat to freedom of speech and jeopardizes the right of local government officials to
express their views to citizens while representing them.
SB 2282 by Sen. Bennett, First-Responder Services, prohibits the fire service and
emergency medical services agencies from billing for responding to auto accidents. The
bill will have a negative impact on those communities that are currently collecting these
fees as a way to provide the appropriate level of public services to the citizens in their
community. In Collier County, it is unclear whether the current treatment without transport
fee will be adversely affected. That treatment without transportation fee equals at least
$200,000 of the Emergency Medical Services budget.
HB 1219 by Van Zant entitled Regulation of State Lands and Oil and Gas Resources was
2

~Oq
the bill that was amended in the House Policy Council on April 20 with the provision
allowing the Cabinet to decide on whether to move forward with offshore oil and natural
gas exploration within three (3) miles of the Florida Coast. The bill was brought to a full
vote in the House where it passed 70-43. The bill ultimately died in the Senate where it
was not taken up.
The County Commission approved Resolution 2009-117 in opposition to offshore drilling
in the Gulf of Mexico within 25 miles of the Collier County coastline and opposition
specifically to passage of HB 1219, which allows near-shore drilling three miles off the
Florida coast.
V. Unfunded Mandates - Oppose state directives requiring local governments
to deliver services without providing the necessary funding to cover the
expense
HB 5121 by the Natural Resources Appropriations Committee, Environmental Protection,
includes a solid waste disposal fee also known as the "trash tax" which died in conference.
Introduced by the House, the bill was designed to create general revenue for the State of
Florida and imposed a $1.25 per ton tax on waste collected at disposal facilities both public
and private.
The County Commission approved Resolution 2009-85 opposing HB 5121 and the
proposed unfunded mandate known as the trash tax.
VI. Revenue & Expenditure Caps (TABOR) - Oppose legislative or
Constitutional restrictions on County authority to determine local tax
burden or local financial commitments to services and quality of life
SB 532 by Sen. Lynn named Property Tax Limit! Additional Homestead Exemption
proposes an amendment to s. 4, Art. VII of the State Constitution, to provide that except
for school district levies, the annual maximum assessment change on non-homestead
residential real property is reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent of the assessment for the
previous year. The joint resolution further proposes an amendment to create subsection (f)
in section 6, Art. VII of the State Constitution, to provide that the Legislature, by general
law, must provide an additional homestead exemption to a person or persons who establish
the right to receive a regular homestead exemption within one year after purchasing the
homestead property, and who have not owned a principal residence during the 8-year
period prior to the purchase of the property. If approved by 60 percent of persons voting in
the November 20] 0 General Election, these provisions take effect January 1, 201].
According to the Revenue Estimating Conference, the fiscal impact to counties in Fiscal
Year 2011-12 is -$13.1 million increasing to -$51.3 million in FY 2015-16. The revenue
impact to counties for the reduction of the non-homestead cap from ] 0 t05 percent is -
$77.6 million in FY 2011-12 increasing to a negative impact of $209 million in 2013-14
statewide in non-school county tax revenues.

SB 1906 by Sen. Haridopolos, also known as TABOR, Government RevenuesNoter
ApprovallNew Taxes & Fees, proposes an amendment to Section I and the creation of a
new section in Article VII of the State Constitution to limit state and local government
revenues and require voter approval of new taxes and fees. This legislation died in
committee however the Florida Association of Counties has recommended local
governments monitor TABOR activity and warns elected officials, staff and citizens to
become educated, aware and prepared to prevent efforts of those who plan to bring it back.
Agenda Item No. 10D
May 26, 2009
Page 4 of..a9"
a8d1
HB 385 by Rep. Rivera, Limitation on Aggregate Ad Valorem Taxes on Real Property,
proposes amendment of s. 9, Art. VIII of State Constitution to limit total ad valorem tax on
parcel of real property to 1.35 percent of highest taxable value of property; applies
limitation to all ad valorem taxes on real property except those levied for payment of local
bonds issued to [mance or refinance capital projects authorized by law and approved by
vote of electors or to refund outstanding bonds or levied for periods not longer than 2 years
when authorized by vote of electors. This bill died in the Senate but not before getting YES
votes from all five members of the Collier Delegation and passing the House. Sen. Bennett
had the 1.35-percent limit companion bill. This bill continues to come up, progressing
further each year.
VII. Revenue Enhancements
· Dot.com - The tourism industry position on Dot.coms is to have those
companies collect and pay the sales and tourist development tax due on the
total amount charged the visitor, not the net amount paid the hotel. The
revenue lost to both the state and counties from the actual taxes due and what
is currently received is significant.
Dot.com legislation SB 1970 by Sen. Lynn and HB 579 by Rep. Long died in committee.
VIII. Transportation
· Oppose raiding of the Transportation Trust Fund
SB 2602, the Implementing 2009-2010 General Appropriations Act, Section 43, includes a
$120 million raid on the Transportation Trust Fund.
· Earlier Receipt of Crash Reports - Support including local traffic engineering
agencies with police agencies in being able to receive crash reports without
current 60-day wait
· Pass red light running camera enforcement - Support enforcement of red light
running camera enforcement that would make it a moving violation, assign
driver's license points, and notify insurers
HB 439 by Rep. Reagan, Uniform Traffic Control, died in messages but came very close
to passing and creation of the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Program to be administered by
DOT. The main concern was that red light running violators caught by traffic infraction
camera equipment at intersections in local government programs would have to allocate
revenues in the most recent adopted Senate amendment as follows: $150 ticket would be
4

distributed with $70 to the county/city, $55 to the General Revenue Fund and $25 to the
Department of Revenue for deposit in the Department of Health Administrative Fund.
Collier Transportation staff monitored this closely as amendments were coming and going
rapidly toward the end.
· Modification to Section 339.135(4)(a)1, Florida Statutes to strengthen
requirement for use of an allocation formula "to assure that no district or
county is penalizedfor local efforts to improve the State Highway System"
· Transportation Funding Tied to Seat Belt Use - Support making Florida seatbelt
enforcement a primary offense for drivers over the age of 18
SB 344 by Sen. Rich, entitled the Dori Slosberg and Katie Marchetti Safety Belt Law,
amends the "Florida Safety Belt Law" to provide for primary enforcement of the safety
belt law for operators and front seat passengers. The bill would allow law enforcement
officers to stop motorists solely for not using their safety belts. It also removes from the list
of exemptions to the safety belt law front seat passengers of a pickup truck in excess of the
number of safety belts installed. A person violating this section would be cited for a non-
moving violation, punishable by a $30 fine. This bill substantially amends section 16.614,
Florida Statutes.
Passage of a primary enforcement safety belt law, subject to the criteria set by the federal
grant program, may qualify Florida for as much as $35 million in additional revenue from
the federal government.
IX. Alligator Alley - Continue to oppose leasing of Alligator Alley to private
entities
Sen. Aronberg and Rep. Sands introduced bills (SB 150 and HB 1407) that would have
prohibited the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) from entering into leases with
private companies for transportation facilities from 2009 -2011. The bills died in
committee. Sen. Aronberg amended a provision onto SB 582 (Transportation) which
would have required legislative approval before DOT could enter into lease agreements for
transportation facilities with private companies. That bill died in returning messages.
The County Commission approved Resolution 2008-201 opposing the leasing of the
Alligator Alley toll facility and objecting to the state lack of adequate public notice.
SB 2320 by Sen. Richter and DB 1189 by Rep. Grady provided for funding in leasing
arrangements to go to Collier and Broward counties. Both bills died.
X. Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) - Support legislative
changes to CCNA that allow weighing multiple factors including
qualifications and price before selecting the top firm and before
commencing negotiations
5
Agenda Item No. 10D
May 26, 2009
Page 6 of ~ ~B~
Sen. Aronberg offered to sponsor CCNA legislation but the county was unable to get a
sponsor for a companion bill in the House. The Florida Association of Counties and the
six-county Southwest Florida Legislative Consortium again included CCNA among its
2009 priorities, and along with the county's state lobbying firm, J. Keith Arnold and
Associates, worked to secure a bill sponsor however without success.
XI. Growth Management & Real-Time Concurrency - Support protecting the
County's current transportation real-time concurrency program
SB 360 by Sen. Bennett, touted as the "Community Renewal Act," passed with
endorsements from all members of the Collier Delegation and strikes at two regulations in
the Growth Management Act of 2005 that actually work to manage growth responsibly:
transportation concurrency which requires roads not be beyond capacity prior to
development approval, and large parcels undergo Development of Regional Impact review.
Specifically, SB 360 affects Collier County in the following areas:
· Zoning petitions can be considered concurrently with petitions for comprehensive
plan amendments which would expedite the process for zoning approvals.
· Impact Fees can be reduced, suspended or eliminated without notice. A 90-day
notice is still required for an increase.
· The Cities of Naplcs and Marco Island in their entirety will have to be designated
as Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas by amending their respective
comprehensive plans and then a subsequent GMP amendment to implement
alternative transportation strategies to support and fund mobility within these cities
· Building permits and other development orders expiring retroactively to
September 2008 are automatically renewed for two years up until January 1,2012.
· The financial feasibility deadline for Capital Improvements Elements was
extended to December 1, 2011.
XII. Support Enforcement of Immigration Laws
· Changing the statutes defining "felony" and "misdemeanor"
(F9 775.08) from the current language "... violation of Florida law" to
"violation of public law." This would allow for the arrest of a subject on
immigration (or other federal offenses) based on the state's right as a
sovereign and its related policing powers. Currently, the language limits
state officials to crimes that are violation of Florida law...immigration, of
course, is not a Florida Law. In the alternative, specific authority could
be granted in F~ 901 that would authorize state Peace Officers to arrest
for immigration offenses without warrants based on Probable Cause. This
would allow deputies to make immigration arrests but would not allow for
processing, transport, investigation, long-term detention, etc...simply the
arrest and a call to ICE.
· The second recommendation is in reference to the Florida Human
Trafficking statute (F~ 787.06). Currently, this statute makes it illegal to
traffic persons with the knowledge or intent that those persons will be
6
Agenda Item NO.1 aD
May 26, 2009
Page 7 ~
~O~
used for slavery or prostitution. We recommend that the law be changed
to also punish those who receive compensation for trafficking individuals
regardless if those trafficked persons are to be used for servitude. This
would reflect the State of Florida's policing power to address the dangers
involved in trafficking people regardless of what those people are going to
be doing when they reach their destination.
HB 123 by Rep Snyder, Human Smuggling, passed and provides that a person commits a
misdemeanor if he or she transports an individual into this state from another country and
knows, or should know, that individual is illegally entering the U.S.; provides criminal
penalties.
SB 168 by Sen Joyner, Florida Statewide Task Force on Human Trafficking, passed and
creates within the Department of Children and Family Services the Florida Statewide Task
Force on Human Trafficking. The bill requires that the task force prepare a final report by
a specified date and provides duties of the Florida State University Center for the
Advancement of Human Rights, etc.
XIII. Support Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) being under
State Public Service Commission oversight
HB 691 by Rep. Hudson and SB 1192 by Sen. Richter placed intergovernmental
authorities that provide water or wastewater services to the public under the jurisdiction of
the Public Service Commission. Both bills died in committee.
XIV. Support amending Florida Statutes to elect rather than appoint Florida
Water Management District governing Board members
Bills were filed by Sen. Wise (SB 1070) and Rep. Van Zant (HB 1217) which required that
water management board members be elected rather than appointed. The bills died in
committees without hearings.
xv. Support economic development initiatives as a way to build and create a
sustainable and diversified economy. These initiatives include:
· A more coordinated and streamlined regulatory process within state level
agencies, while supporting local governments and their ability and
flexibility to make decisions at the local level that enhance economic development
opportunities.
· Develop sustainable sources of funding for economic diversification programs
that allow for full participation by Collier County in state level funding for
economic development projects.
SB 788 by Sen. Jones, Gaming, contains legislative parameters regarding the Governor's
authority to execute a gaming compact with the Seminole Indian Tribe as well as major
modifications to gaming allowed at the pari-mutuels. More specifically, the legislation if
7
Agenda Item No. 10D
May 26, 2009
Page 8 o~
Olo~
executed will be a major economic detriment to Collier County as it will not allow banked
card games at the Seminole Casino in Immokalee. This is contrary to the compact
previously executed by the Governor and the Seminole Tribe on November 14, 2007. If
executed by the Governor and the Seminole Tribe, the $22 million expansion which
resulted in an additional 500 employees in Collier County to service expanded table
games, new restaurants and expanded entertainment will no longer exist in Immokalee.
The building of the Hard Rock Hotel with numerous tourist amenities on the
approximately 250 acres at the rear of the property will most likely not transpire as this
economic catalyst project was dependent on banked card games that included blackjack,
baccarat, Pai Gow, 3-Card poker, and higher betting limits which exist in Immokalee now
with the exception of higher poker betting limits. The Seminole Indian Tribe is under no
obligation to execute a gaming compact with the Governor.
The County Commission approved Resolution 2009-89 in support of a Seminole Indian
Gaming Compact which includes a revenue sharing agreement with affected local
governments that would provide five percent of casino revenues directly to affected local
governments to offset impacts to infrastructure.
In addition, the continuing majority position of the Board of County Commissioners has
been to monitor Clerk of Courts legislative activity during the 2009 Legislative Session.
Through the direction of the Board, county staff, the Florida Association of Counties and J.
Keith Arnold and Associates worked as a team to monitor and produce positive outcomes
in two areas concerning the Clerk of Courts. Firstly, legislation filed by Sen. Oelrich (SB
1216) and Rep. Dorworth (HB 703) granting clerks post-audit authority both failed to
reach either the Senate or House floors, respectively, dying in their committees of
reference.
Secondly, as of this writing, legislation filed in conforming bill SB 1718 by Sen. Crist,
State Judicial System, during the conference process identifying interest invested by the
clerk as income of the county is awaiting Governor Charlie Crist's signature after being
presented to him on Friday, May 15. The lanbruage reads:
Amends s. 28.33, F.S. to specify that interest earned on county funds invested by the
clerk shall be deemed income of the county and may be appropriated by the Board of
County Commissioners pursuant to ch. 129, F.S.
*****************
Understanding that the Florida Legislature passed close to 300 bills during the 2009
Legislative Session, the Board is asked to consider this a preliminary snapshot as expanded
session summaries are expected from the Florida Association of Counties and the county's
state lobbyist, 1. Keith Arnold and Associates.

Collier Co un tv 2009 State
Le1!islative Priorities
1. Property Insurance - Continue to monitor
II. Affordable Housing - Support removal of the cap on Sadowski
Housing Trust Funds
III. Impact Fees - Support maintaining home rule authority over
administration of the County's existing impact fee program
IV. Home Rule - Protect home rule authority of County government
V. Unfunded Mandates - Oppose state directives requiring local
governments to deliver services without providing the necessary
funding to cover the expense
VI. Revenue & Expenditure Caps (TABOR) - Oppose legislative or
Constitutional restrictions on County authority to determine local
tax burden or local financial commitments to services and quality
of life
VII. Revenue Enhancements
. Dot.com - The tourism industry position on Dot.coms is to have those companies
collect and pay the sales and tourist development tax due on the total amount
charged the visitor, not the net amount paid the hotel. The revenue lost to both the
state and counties from the actual taxes due and what is currently received is
significant.
VIII. Transportation
. Oppose raiding of the Transportation Trust Fund
~ .., ..
Agenda Item No. 10D
May 26, 2009
Page18~
aa3\
. Earlier Receipt of Crash Reports - Support including local traffic engineering
agencies with police agencies in being able to receive crash reports without
current 60-day wait
. Pass red light running camera enforcement - Support enforcement of red light
running camera enforcement that would make it a moving violation, assign
driver's license points, and notify insurers
. Modification to Section 339.135(4)(a)l, Florida Statutes to strengthen
requirement for use of an allocation formula "to assure that no district or county
is penalized for local efforts to improve the State Highway System"
. Transportation Funding Tied to Seat Belt Use - Support making Florida seatbelt
enforcement a primary offense for drivers over the age of 18
IX. Alligator Alley - Continue to oppose leasing of Alligator Alley to
private entities
X. Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) - Support
legislative changes to CCNA that allow weighing multiple factors
including qualifications and price before selecting the top firm and
before commencing negotiations
XI. Growth Management & Real-Time Concurrency - Support
protecting the County's current transportation real-time
concurrency program
XII. Support Enforcement of Immigration Laws
. Changing the statutes defining ''felony'' and "misdemeanor"
(F~' 775.08) from the current language "...violation of Florida law" to
"violation of public law." This would allow for the arrest of a subject on
immigration (or other federal offenses) based on the state's right as a
sovereign and its related policing powers. Currently, the language limits
state officials to crimes that are violation of Florida lern'... immigration, of
course, is not a Florida Law. In the alternative, specific authority could
be granted in F~ 901 that would authorize state Peace Officers to arrest
for immigration offenses without warrants based on Probable Cause. This
would allow deputies to make immigration arrests but would not allow for
processing, transport, investigation, long-term detention, etc...simply the
arrest and a call to ICE.
. The second recommendation is in reference to the Florida Human
Trafficking statute (F~ 787.06). Currently, this statute makes it illegal to
traffic persons with the knowledge or intent that those persons will be used
for slavery or prostitution. We recommend that the law be changed to
also punish those who receive compensation for trafficking individuals
regardless if those trafficked persons are to be used for servitude. This
,... ... .....

Agenda Item NO.1 OD

~o;t
would reflect the State of Florida's policing power to address the dangers
involved in trafficking people regardless ofwhat those people are going to
be doing when they reach their destination.
XIII. Support Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) being
under State Public Service Commission oversight
XIV. Support amending Florida Statutes to elect rather than appoint
Florida Water Management District governing Board members
XV. Support economic development initiatives as a way to build and
create a sustainable and diversified economy. These initiatives
include:
. A more coordinated and streamlined regulatory process within state level
agencies, while supporting local governments and their ability and
flexibility to make decisions at the local level that enhance economic development
opportunities.
. Develop sustainable sources of funding for economic diversification programs
that allow for fii/l participation by Collier County in state level funding for
economic development projects.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, URGING MEMBERS OF THE FLORIDA
LEGISLATURE AND FLORIDA'S GOVERNOR TO OPPOSE PROPOSED
FLORIDA HOUSE BILL 5121, RELATING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO A

AND ANY SIMILAR PROPOSED FLORIDA BILL, AND DIRECTING THAT
THIS RESOLUTION BE FORWARDED TO THE COLLIER COUNTY
LOCAL LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION~ THE SENATE PRESIDENT AND
HOUSE SPEAKER; FLORIDA'S GOVERNOR; THE FLORIDA
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES; AND THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES.
WHEREAS, on Aptil 2, 2009, the House Natural Resources Appropriations Committee
passed PCB NRAC 09-02, which requires a solid waste disposal "tipping" fee in the amount of
$1.25 for every ton of solid waste accepted by a landfill; and
WHEREAS, the bill has since been renamed as House Bill 5121 (H.B. 5121); and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") wishes to express its
opposition to H.B. 5121 and the new solid waste disposal fee; and
WHEREAS, if passed, H.B. 5121 would impose a virtual tax on local governments for
providing an essential govenullental service, as local govenuuents are required to provide solid
waste services under Florida Law; and
WHEREAS, it is important to recognize that not all materials brought to a landfill are
brought for final disposition, as some materials are used beneficially, or are recovered from
landfills for recycling or energy production; and
WHEREAS, the proposed "tipping fee" is essentially a tax that will be passed on to the
residents and businesses of Collier County to enable Collier County to operate the Collier
County Landfill; and

RESOLUTION NO. 2009- 89
A RESOLUTION BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, IN SUPPORT OF A SEMINOLE INDIAN
GAMING COMPACT, WHICH INCLUDES A REVENUE SHARING
AGREEMENT WITH AFFECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT WOULD
PROVIDE FIVE (5) PERCENT OF CASINO REVENUES DIRECTLY TO
AFFECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO OFFSET IMP ACTS TO
INFRASTRUCTURE.
WHEREAS, the State of Florida was notified that the U.S. Secretary of the Interior
planned to authorize the Tribe to conduct Class III gaming if a compact was not ratified by
November 15,2007; and
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2007, Governor Charlie Crist, on behalf of the State of
Florida, and Seminole Tribe Chairman Mitchell Cypress, signed a gaming compact to allow the
Tribe to operate certain "Class nI" games in Florida for the next 25 years; and
WHEREAS, the gaming compact executed by Governor Crist on behalf of the State of
Florida specifically allocated ninety-five (95) percent of Covered Games Revenue to the State's
Educational Trust Fund and five (5) percent of Covered Games Revenues to those local
governments (including both counties and municipalities) affected by the Tribe's operation of
Class III games; and
WHEREAS, the five (5) percent of the Covered Games Revenues to be remitted to those
affected local governments is necessary to offset the financial impacts of casino gaming on local
government's capital infrastructure and services, as well as those expenses incurred as a result of
providing numerous governmental services on a daily basis which are a direct result of providing
support to the casino, its employees and the impacts associated with tourism and daily visitors;
and
WHEREAS, the Seminole Gaming Compact was not authorized or ratified by the Florida
Legislature; that soon thereafter the Florida House of Representatives petitioned the Supreme
Court of Florida, disputing the Governor's authority to bind the State to the compact; and the
Supreme Court of Florida ruled on July 3, 2008 that Governor Crist did not have the authority to
enter into the gaming compact without the approval or ratification by the Florida Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the Seminole Tribe began operating Class III slot machines in January 2008
and banked card games in June 2008, while remitting the compact required payments to the State
with said payment revenue placed in escrow and unavailable for the State to use because of the
Florida Supreme Court decision; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature is currently considering the proposed Seminole
Gaming Compact, set forth in House Bill 7129, formerly PCB SICR 09-01, which was filed
April I , 2009 by the Select Committee on Seminole Indian Compact Review, and which includes
the following provision: As providedfor 25 Us.e. s. 2710(b)(2}(B)(v), the Tribe agrees to pay to
the State an additional amount equal to 5 percent of the annual amount set forth in Section B. of
this Part, which funds shall be used for the purposes of offsetting the impacts of the Tribe's
facilities on the operations of local governments; and
Page 1 of2
Agenda Item No, 10D
May 26, 2009
Page 43 of 232
WHEREAS, to be more specific and clarify that disbursements will be made to the
affected local governments, and that those local governments will then identifY where those
dollars will be spent, Collier County staff proposes language that reads: "... which funds shall be
disbursed to affected local governments and used for the purpose of offsetting the impacts of the
Tribe's facilities on the operations of local governments as determined by the affected local
government... ": and
WHEREAS, also proposed is Senate Bill 788 filed January 21, 2009 by Senator Dennis
Jones and Senator Jim King, which provides that all gaming revenue received by the State of
Florida pursuant to the compact be deposited into the "Education Enhancement Trust Fund,"
without any provisions for addressing the impacts on affected local governments; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 7129, with staffs proposed modified language, would then
appropriately provide for revenue sharing of five (5) percent with affected local governments,
however Senate Bill 788 does not provide any revenue sharing to local governments to offset the
impacts of Seminole Indian gaming: and
WHEREAS, Collier County and its existing residents will have to financially subsidize
the operations and impacts of the Seminole Indian Tribe's Immokalee Casino if the five (5)
percent of the Covered Games Revenues is not remitted to Collier County as a directly impacted
local government.
~OW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the Board of County
Commissioners does hereby support a Seminole Indian Gaming Compact which includes a
revenue sharing agreement with affected local governments that would provide five (5) percent
of casino revenues directly to affected local governments to offset impacts to infrastructure. To
that end the Board respectfully requests that the Florida Legislature support House Bill 7129
with consideration of Collier County's modified language, and oppose Senate Bill 788.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this Resolution 'Will be forwarded to the
members of the Collier County Legislative Delegation, the Office of the Governor, the Senate
President and House Speaker, and the Florida Association of Counties.
THIS RESOLCTION ADOPTED after motion, second, and majority vote favoring same,

Memorandum
To:
Randy Cohen, AICP, Director Comprehensive Planning Department
From:
Leslie Persia, Senior Planner, Comprehensive Planning Department
Date:
15 May 2009
Subject:
2009 Legislation Analysis - 58 360: "Community Renewal Act"
1. Act takes effect immediately upon becoming law. Signature or veto by Governor Crist expected by
June 30, 2009.
2. Renames "Existing urban service area" to "Urban service area" and expands the definition to include
dense urban land area. "Urban service area" means built-up areas where public facilities and
services, including, but not limited to, central water and sewer capacity and roads are already in
place or are committed in the first 3 years of the capital improvement schedule. In addition, for
dense urban land areas includes areas designated in the comprehensive plan as of July 1, 2009 for
urban service areas or urban growth boundaries.
Affect on Collier County: Ties into Item 3 below. Please refer to Item 3.
Action: Review City of Naples and Marco Island GMP and lOC changes will determine how this
change affects the Collier County's growth management policies as well as impacts on the
federal, state, and local roadway levels-of-service. More specifically, recognition of adjacent
local government roadway deficiencies will have to be addressed in the GMP Transportation
Element and Capital Improvement Element.
3. "Dense urban land area" in general is defined as a municipality or county with an average of 1,000
people/mi2 or a county with a population of at least 1 million people. Any changes to designation as
dense urban land area is identified each year by july 1. Local governments shall notify the Office of
Economic and Demographic Research of any jurisdictional boundary changes.
Marco Island and City of Naples meet this definition. Due to the definition utilizing "average", Marco
Island appears to meet this definition.
Collier County and Everglades City do not meet this definition.
Implementation of "dense urban land area" provides for exemption from DRI review of any
proposed development within a municipality that qualifies as a dense urban land area. Additional
language regarding DR! review exemptions for counties designated as dense urban land areas.
Agenda Item No.1 aD
May 26,2009
Page 50 of 232
Affect on Collier County~ The impact on the County of this new definition is far reaching.
However, the greatest impact on the County is the ability for Naples and Marco Island to
intensify commercial uses and increase density in redevelopment and urban infill areas with
fewer restrictions on transportation concurrency, placing more strain on Collier County's
transportation network, without the payment of impact fees to the County. More specific,
failing arterial and collector roads at geographic boundary of Collier County will feed into
concurrent roadways in Collier County, causing County CIE compliant roadways to fall below
accepted levels-of-service. The purported mechanism to deflect the impacts of no
transportation concurrency are alternative transportation strategies which have not been
identified.
Action: Action required if jurisdictional boundary changes. (see Item 4. Action)
4. Recording of contraction or annexation of municipal boundary. At time of submittal to Department
of State of any jurisdictional boundary change, a copy must be submitted to the Office of Economic
and Demographic Research along with statement specifying the population census effect and the
affected land areas
Action: Modify processes with new requirement.
s. Capital Improvement Element (CrE) annual update. Compliance for financial feasibility has been
extended to December 1,2011. However, annual update to the CIE is still required.
Clarification of exemption from limit of twice per year amendment adoptions, clearly stating the
required CIE annual update and any amendments directly related to the schedule.
Action: Collier is in compliance. Continue "annual" financially feasible CIE update, no
additional action required.
6. Transportation Concurrency and Transportation Concurrency ExcePtion Area (TCEA). The
Legislature finds that in urban centers transportation cannot be effectively managed and mobility
cannot be improved solely through the expansion of roadway capacity, that the expansion of
roadway capacity is not always physically or financialty possible, and that a range of
transportation alternatives are essential to satisfy mobility needs, reduce congestion, and achieve
healthy, vibrant centers.
NOTE: This does not occur within CoUier County's existing concurrency management system.
TCEAs defined for concurrency. TCEAs are defined as a) Dense Urban Land area Municipality; b)
Urban service area that has been adopted into the local comprehensive plan and is located within a
dense urban land area County; c) Dense urban land area County, including municipalities, which has
a population of at least 900,000 but does not have an urban service areas designated in the
comprehensive plan.
NOTE: Marco Island and City of Naples meet the definition of dense urban land area
municipality, therefore is a TCEA.
In addition, a Municipality that does not qualify as a dense urban land use area may designate in its
comprehensive plan the following areas as TCEAs 1) Urban infiJl (9163.3164); 2) Community
redevelopment areas (9163.340); 3) Downtown revitalization areas (9163.3164); 4) Urban infill and
redevelopment (9163.2317); or 5) Urban service areas (g163.3164) or areas within a designated
urban service area (9163.3177(14)), any proposed development within the designated area is
exempt from DRI review.

Agenda Item NO.1 OD
May 26, 2009
Page 51 of 232
A County that does not qualify as a dense urban land use area could designate in its comprehensive
plan the following areas as TCEAs 1) Urban infill (9163.3164); 2) Urban infill and redevelopment
(9163.2317); or 3) Urban service areas (9163.3164), any proposed development within the
designated area is exempt from ORI review.
Collier County could meet the above criteria if it chooses to designate lmmokalee and the
Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment areas as TCEAs. However, this would be contrary to
the BCC's transportation concurrency policy directive leading to failing roadways in these two
redevelopment areas and surrounding geographic areas.
Action: Do not designate Immokalee and the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment
areas as TCEAs.
Within 2 years after the TCEA area exemption, the iocal government shall adopt into its
comprehensive plan land use and transportation strategies to support and fund mobility within the
exception area. Sanctions may be imposed if this requirement is not met.
Under certain circumstances in a county with more than 1.5 million people, TCEAs do not apply to
designated transportation concurrency districts. Informational: No affect on Collier.
In general, TCEAs do not apply if the county has exempted more than 40% of the urban service area
from transportation concurrency for the purpose of urban infill. (Dade County exemption model.)
If TCEAs have been designated through one of the above methods, local government may no longer
grant exceptions from transportation concurrency requirement.
Action: Verified that Collier County does not have 40% of its land area designated as TCEAs.
A comprehensive plan amendment designating the concurrency exception area must be
accompanied by data analysis supporting the local government's determination of the boundaries of
the TCEA. (Only applicable to Collier County if the BeC agrees and designates redevelopment areas
as TCEAs.
Within designated and maintained TCEAs, transportation level-of-service standards (LOSS) shall be
deemed met.
Urban and downtown areas are exempt from transportation concurrency if pose special part-time
demands (not more than 200 scheduled events/year and does not affect the 100 highest traffic
volume hours) on the system.
Clarification of requirements that must be met to DOT and DCA before designation of a TCEA, In
particular a plan for mitigation of impacts to the regional transportation facilities including the
Strategic Intermodal System (5IS), including access management, parallel reliever roads,
transportation demand management, and other measures, must be provided in prior to designation.
Clarification: Designation of a TCEA does not limit a local government's home rule power.
TCEAs exempt from SIS LOSS.
An affected local government may provide for a waiver of transportation concurrency of affected 515
roadways, if OTTED concurs in writing with the local government that the proposed development is
for a qualified job creation project under 9288.0656 or 9403.973, F.5.
Affect on Collier County: This would exempt projects within the Rural Area of Critical
Economic Concern (RACEC), such as Silver Strand, from transportation concurrency.
TCEAs Affect on Collier County: When Marco Island and City of Naples are designated as TCEAs
in their respective GMPs and with the possibility of exemption of TCEAs from SIS
Page 3 of 8
Agenda Item No. 100
May 26, 2009
Page 52 of 232
levels-of-service standards (lOSS) as wen as transportation lOSS deemed met, it is unclear as
to responsibility of the County for maintaining LOSS on shared roadways. This tegislation
appears to put the burden of maintaining transportation LOS on the County. In addition, if
required amend GMP and LOC to implement statute changes to TCEAs.
7. Intere:ovemmental Coordination Element (ICE} shall provide for a dispute resolution process as
established pursuant to S186.509, F.S. In addition, the dispute resolution process contains a
mandatory mediation component.
Affect on Collier County: Amend GMP ICE to include intergovernmental dispute resolution as
provided for in U8G.S09, F.S., as pertaining to transportation concurrency with respect to
shared roadways.
8. Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) and School Concurrency. For implementation of school
concurrency, DCA may allow the 5 year FTE growth rate to exceed 10% provided the projected 10
year FTE is less than 2,000 students and the capacity rate for all schools within the school district in
the tenth year will not exceed the 100% limitation.
Removed prohibition on local governments from adopting comprehensive plan amendments that
increase residential density for failure to amend comprehensive plan to implement school
concurrency. (No Affect on CoUier County. Collier is in compliance.)
Sanctions may now be imposed on local governments, in addition to the school board, for failure to
implement provisions relating to public school concurrency.
New clarification added for determining if LOSS has been achieved, during the fIrst 3 years of school
concurrency implementation. In general, relocatable facilities, if used in the student station
inventory, shall be included in the LOS analysis.
New mitigation option: Construction of a charter school.
Affect on Collier County: Sanctions may be imposed on Collier County and the School District
for failure to implement school concurrency. Therefore, school concurrency monitoring
processes should be implemented. Currently, no immediate adverse impact on the County.
The School District must determine if relocatable facilities can be used in determining LOSS. If
so, the County's PSFE will have to reflect this change as well as the School District's capital
improvement plan (CIP) when annually updated. Coordinate per the Inter-Local Agreement
during the School District's CIP process.
9. Impact fees notice reQuirement clarification. No notice required for reduction, suspension, or
elimination of an impact fee. Ninety day notice prior to effective date onlv required for new or
increased impact fees.
Affect on Collier County: Expedites the process for reduction, suspension, or elimination of an
impact fee.
10. New ~ Prohibited standards for security devices. Prohibits local governments, or other local
government entities, from adopting or maintaining in effect an ordinance or rule that establishes
standards for security cameras that require a business to expend funds to enhance the services or
functions provided by local government.
Affect on Collier County: Prohibits local ordinances from implementing measures in best
interest of health, safety, and welfare of public. For example, requiring security cameras in
high crime areas by mandating security cameras per enabling ordinances.

amendment. At request of an applicant, local government shall consider an application for zoning
changes that would be required to properly enact the provision of a transmitted proposed plan
amendment. Approved zoning changes are contingent upon the comprehensive plan or amendment
becoming effective.
Affect on Collier County: Currentty, the Combined 07/08 GMPA cycle contains 9 petitions that
could take advantage of this provision beginning in August 2010, tentativelv. The GMP and
LOC require review for consistency with change and amended to provide clear policy
directions for staff. A request for zoning change in conjunction with a GMPA application most
likely will result in additional review time and cost associated with the zoning change as any
approval tor GMPA request most likely will have changes which will require additional review
time of the zoning change resulting in additional cost. Since processes will require change,
fees should be reviewed at the same time and adjusted, it necessary.
12. Amendment of adOPted comprehensive plan. NOTE: The twice per calendar year adoptions remains.
Exception regarding proposed development of regional impact (DRI), deleted without regard to local
ordinance frequency limitations, leaving applicable to local ordinances.
Affect on Collier County: Implies that proposed ORis are now subject to local frequency
limitations on considerations of amendments. Since, the Collier County BCC authorizes one
amendment cycle per year, policies may need change to include proposed ORis. Collier has
one ORI that would be affected, Town of Big Cypress, which is still in the review stage.
13. Alternative State Review Process Pilot Program. In addition to the pilot program jurisdictions, any
local government may use the alternative review process to designate an Urban Service Area in its
comprehensive plan.
Affect on Collier County: Collier County is not a pilot program jurisdiction. Collier County
should monitor the pilot program to see if It merits use of the alternative process.
14. Developments of regional impact (DRI) modifications /9380.06). Specifies levels-of-service (LOS)
required in the transportation methodology to be the same as LOS used to evaluate concurrency
(9163.3180). Revises statutory exemptions from the DRI review process by providing exemptions for
Dense Urban Lands areas, as well as additional exemptions, from the DRI program. However, certain
criteria require the local government to submit the project development order (DO) to DCA for
review, which could be repealed.
New - Under certain circumstances, a project is exempt from DRI review if a funding agreement
with onED contemplates a state award of at least $50 million.
These changes do not apply to areas within an area of critical state concern (ACSC) or within 2 miles
of the boundary of the Everglades Protection Area.
Affect on Collier County: Marco Island and City of Naples meet the definition for dense urban
land area; therefore any development within these two municipalities is exempt from DRI
review. Everglades City could meet the above criteria if it chooses to amend its comprehensive
plan with exempt areas, such as a downtown revitalization area. Portions of CoUier are in the
ACSC and Everglades Protection Area, the excluded area requires identification.
15. Mobility fee study. Provides legislative findings and determinations relating to replacing the existing
transportation concurrency system with a mobility fee system. Requires DCA and DOT to continueP

Page 54 of 232
their respective mobility fee studies, requiring a joint report on a mobility fee methodology study to
the Legislature by December 1, 2009.
The legislation states that the Mobility Fee system should fairly distribute the fee among the
governmental entities responsible for maintaining the impacted roadways, and promote compact,
mixed-use, and energy-effteient development.
Equitable distribution of fees as determined by the State have usually resulted in inequitable
distribution of funds to Collier County.
The report will contain recommended legislation and a plan to implement the mobility fee as a
replacement for the existing local government adopted and implemented transportation
concurrency management systems.
Affect on Collier County: The mobility fee is intended to replace the impact fee systems
utilized by Collier County and all local governments throughout the state. Mobility fee most
likely will be less than Collier County's transportation impact fee placing a greater burden on
existing county residents and ad valorem taxes. This will be a major Dudget constraint in the
next fiscal year if the change occurs.
16. Permit or other authorization 2 year extensions. With some exceptions, generally permits issued by
DEP or a water management district that has an expiration date of September 1, 2008 through
January 1, 2012, is extended and renewed for 2 years following its date of expiration. Includes any
local government-issued development order or building permit. Atso applies to build out dates
including any build out date extension previously granted under g380.06(19)(c), F.S.
Commencement and completion dates for any required mitigation associated with a phased
construction project shall be extended such that mitigation takes place in the same timeframe
relative to the phase as originally permitted.
Deadline to obtain extension: December 31, 2009. The holder of the permit eligible for the
extension must notify the authorizing agency in writing by the deadline.
Affect on Collier County: All building permits and development orders extended 2 years
following date of expiration. It is unclear that if a permit/activity expires for a second time prior
to January 1, 2012, if it could receive an additional extension. CoHier County will have to
determine a fee structure for the extension of all building permits and development orders.
Affordable Housing - Provided by Department a/Housing and Human Services
17. State Allocation Pool - Added Florida HousinJ;( Finance Corporation. Limit Florida Housing Finance
Corporation's access to the state allocation pool to the amount the corporation was in1tially
allocated under s. 159.804. Furthermore, limits corporation's additional allocations to 80 percent of
the state allocation pool on November 16 of each year, and 80 percent of any additional amounts
that become available.
Affect on Collier County: Any limit imposed on the corporation's access to funding for
affordable housing initiatives may adversely affect the low income residents of Collier County.
18. New (9193.018) - Land owned bv a community land trust used to provide affordable housin~;
assessment; structural improvements, condominium parcels. and cooperative parcels. Defining
"community land trust" as a nonprofit entity that is qualified as a SOl(c)3 charitable organization

may be assessed. In addition) establishes means of tax assessment for community land trust owned
by a nonprofit entity, SOl(c){3), for purposes of providing affordable homeownership.
Affect on Collier County: None. Procedural change.
19. Tax lien if Affordable housing property not used for purpose. Property owned by an exempt
organization qualified as charitable under s. SOl(c)(3) that fails to house income qualified families,
transfers subject property for a purpose other than providing affordable housing or ceases use as
affordable housing is subject to tax lien on any property owned by the organization located in the
county.
Affect on Collier County: None. Requires compliance.
20. Affordable housing property exemption. Property used to provide affordable housing for income
qualified persons owned by nonprofit 501(c)(3) is entitled to property tax exemption.
Affect on Collier County: Property tax exemption should assist nonprofit agencies in providing
affordable housing to income qualified households and persons.
21. Local Government Infrastructure Surtax, additional infrastructure defined for affordable housing.
Land acquisition expenditures by a local government in which at least 30 percent of the units are
affordable to income qualified persons is considered infrastructure eligible to local government
surtax.
Affect on Collier County: None. Taxing policy beyond scope of this review
22. New - Minimum land development regulations. Local land development regulations to require
existing density maintained in residential properties or recreational vehicle parks if the properties
are intended for residential uses and are located in the unincorporated areas that have sufficient
infrastructure (determined by local government) and are not located within coastal high-hazard
area.
Affect on Collier County: Departments of Comprehensive Planning and Z.oning will have to
review this statute to ensure GMP and LDC comply. In general, flexibility in density when
providing affordable-workforce housing should be embraced.
23. The Housjn~ Chapter (ch. 420) has many changes to further the affordable housing goals, beginning
with "moderate rehabilitation" defined as repair or restoration that is 40 percent or less of the value
of the dwelling unit, but not less than $10,000.

24. Seeks to provide affordable housing assistance to children and young adults leaving foster care.
State agencies directed to work with Department of Children and Family Services to develop and
implement strategies to make affordable housing available to young adults who leave the child
welfare system.
Affect on Collier County: Providing affordable housing to young adults leaving foster care is a
worthwhile initiative. However, if funding is not made available for this strategy, it will be
difficult to implement. Next Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) may need revision to include
this change.

25. Language added to definition of "annual gross income", "eligible housing", "Local housing incentive
strategies", "recaptured funds", "assisted housing" or "assisted housing development", and
"preservation" .
Affect on Collier County: Changes noted. Next Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) may need

New growth bill needs fast burial
The Tampa Tribune
Published: May 10, 2009
If the growth bill finally approved by the Legislature is signed into law by Gov. Charlie Crist, it could bring to a
sudden stop many road projects that developers already have agreed to fund in Hillsborough County.
Crist should veto the bill before it has a chance to put the bite on taxpayers. Onder the change, it appears that
developers could pass the buck for most if not all transportation and school improvements.
The Hillsborough County Commission, at the urging of Commissioner Mark Sharpe, voted unanimously
Wednesday to ask Crist to veto the 82-page bill.
To their credit, all four senators representing the Tampa area and its suburbs - Ronda Storms, Victor Crist,
Arthenia Joyner, and Charlie Justice, along with Sen. Paula Dockery of Polk County - voted against this bad
bill.
The issue is not liberal "s. conservative as some House members seem to have assumed. No Republican House
member in this state voted against it.
Most of the opposition came from soutbeast Florida, where the pain of ill-planned growth is better understood
than in less dense areas.
Agenda Item NO.1 aD
May 26,2009
Page 58 of 232
The bill's main author, Sen. Mike Bennett of Braden ton, tells us his goal is to promote more responsible growth
and that the changes wouldn't stop HiUsborough County from collecting impact fees.
That may not have been his intent, but the outcome is likely to be quite different. Remember, it was the
unintended consequences of existing growth laws that are behind this attempt at reform.
Bennett's bill instructs state planners and transportation officials to design a mobility fee, but it's unclear who
would pay it and how much it would be.
Sharpe suggests the wording of the bill could force county taxpayers to pay for new transportation II strategies."
At the same time, it could stop the developer-funded improvements planned for Lithia-Pinecrest Road. Big
Bend Road and many other areas.
Peter Aluotto, director of growth management for the county. told commissioners that "in plain English, in the
entire urban service area, all those projects get a pass."
Bob Hunter, director of the Hillsborough City-County Planning Commission, tells us the bill appears to him to
cost the county tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure payments from developers.
Among other things, the bill would require that school capacity include both charter schools and "relocatable"
classrooms.
Charter schools can close, leaving public schools overcrowded. And a relocatable is nothing more than a mobile
building. Taxpayers should remember that it was the appearance of dozens of portable classrooms on school
parking lots and playgrounds that became a symbol of the high costs of unplanned growth.
The bill purports to focus gro"Wih in dense urban areas. But it defines those areas as about one house per acre.
And by undercutting the state's pay-as-you-build concept called concurrency, it offers no real incentives to put
future houses and apartments closer to job centers or transit.
This is the same Legislature that could not find a responsible way to develop an Orlando rail project and that
denied ftmding for the commuter rail line in southeast Florida. If there is any effort to focus and support urban
growth, lawmakers have done a good job hiding it.
It is cold consolation that the bill the Legislature passed in a confusing flurry of last-minute changes is much
better than many other alternatives offered this legislative session.
But it is wrong in its assumption that any growth is good growth. Hillsborough County is several billion dollars
behind in catching up vdth its transportation needs.
"This bill will put us further behind," Sharpe rightly warns. "Someone has to pick up the tab."
It's no mystery to taxpayers who that will be.
Crist should kill this outrageous scheme to make taxpayers pay developers' bills and voters should remember
those lawmakers who supported it come election time.

Additional Notes:
Not so concerned about Marco Island We currentiy have an inter-iocal agreement with Naples for
development review Including them as a TCEA would eliminate their review of impacts to their
network but how would it impact our ability to regulate their impact to the unincorporated area?
Typically traffic impacts within a TCE,n, that extend outside the boundary of the TeEA. must comply
with the concurrency system in place within that area Our inter-local agreement would need to reflect
that right Also. TCEAs exemptions usually have to deal with transit improvements Since C.A. T is the
local transit provider the Inter-local would need to be revised to refiect that TCEA commitments to
transit subsidies would need to come to the county.
No support tor lmmokalee broad TCEA Maybe a very confined aowntown TCEA which focused on
redevelopment only mIght work. VVe cannot afford to have SR-Z9 (our only facility through
Immokalee) go into a complete congestion mode. A broader immokaiee TCEp.. couid exist if and
when a SR-29 bypass was In place
Agree on Mobility fee Too early to tell what the ramifications are \fve need to get involved in that
review and adoption process

EDITORIAL: Growth-management bill a disaster
Palm Beach Post Editorial
Friday, May 15,2009
The "growth-management" bill that eliminates Florida's strongest growth-
management tools is special-interest government at its worst.
The special interests favored by Senate Bill 360 are developers. They have long
complained about the two rules in the state's 1985 Growth Management Act that
actually have teeth. One, called traffic concurrency, requires adequate roads to be in
place before construction is allowed. The other requires huge projects on large
parcels to undergo a rigorous review called a Development of Regional Impact. SB 360 would eliminate
both.
".A'"'-

In their place, the Republican leadership of both chambers has created fuzzy
...... !"";:C'\ 'l ., ~ Post vour exemptions. Cities and counties would get two years to decide how to
comm;t;ts regulate traffic and pay for alternatives. but the safeguards would be gone in
on this July. The bill also calls for a task force to report in December on a vague
stOT" belo\'I concept called transportation mobility fees. Developers want impact fees,
. which vary from place to place, replaced by a statewide fee assessed on every
development. What would happen when the fees don't cover the cost of road
work?

Supporters of SB 360 argue that traffic concurrency encourages suburban
sprawl by putting too high a cost on fixing roads in inner cities. But the bill
goes well beyond encouraging urban development. In Palm Beach County, it
would include aU 38 municipalities and all but the most rural sections of the
county.

mobile-home town that would have been converted into luxury high-rises - opposed by neighboring
tOVlnS - without the state's growth-management rules. SB 360 would give control to local government.
Since Briny is run by its residents, who would benefit most from selling their property, the town is
literally a tool of the developer. While that's an exceptional case, local governments generally are easier
on development than the state.

looking to pad its tax base could approve apartment buildings or office towers \\i.thout regard to the
traffic that would spill over into neighboring towns. Since roads cross city and county lines, current law
gives oversight to the county.
A House version of the bill drew criticism from Tom Pelham, secretary ofthe Department of
Community Affairs, the state's land-planning agency. The Senate jettisoned several bad House
proposals. But the intent remains clear: Dismantle the state's landmark Growth Management Act. Gov.
Crist should veto this bilL or be forever known not as "Chain Gang Charlie" but "Traffic Jam Charlie."

ENOUGH OF THIS
Published Friday, May 15,2009
There can be no question that an insidious effort to dismantle growth management is bad for the state when both the
Hillsboroogh County Commission and 1000 Friends of Florida are asking Gov. Charlie Crist to veto the legislation. The
commission rarely stands up to developers, and 1000 Friends is a stalwart supporter of smart community planning. But
they are aligned this time against SB 360, whicl1 would create more traffic jams and urban sprawl. Crist should stand
up to the pressures from the development community and veto this bill, which would be particularly harmful to the
Tampa Bay area.
in Pinellas, HiIlsborough and a half-dozen other large counties, developers no longer would have to pay for road
improvements to accommodate the traffic many of their projects generate. In the Tampa Bay area alone. that would
mean the potential loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for road projects. State and local governments already are
delaying road projects because of a shortage of public money, so don't expect taxpayers to pick up the costs that
should be paid by developers. The result would be even bigger traffic jams and longer commutes.
Supporters of this bill claim it would steer development into densely urban areas, limit the spread of outer suburbs and
create the critical mass needed to support other transit options sucl1 as bus service and light rail. That would be great
- except it is not true. In fact, SB 360 does the opposite. For example, transportation concurrency requirements would
not just be eliminated in downtown Tampa. They would disappear in a much larger area that includes Carrollwood,
Brandon, Seffner, Riverview and Sun City. Allowing more development in those areas without money to improve the
roads would be ridiculous.
It would be one thing to eliminate transportation concurrency requirements in truly dense urban areas But the bill
broadens the definition of those areas to include more than 230 cities and areas that have roughly one house per two
acres. That certainly is not urban. Only a Florida state legislator could endorse such nonsense with a straight face, and
Crist should see this for what it is: A developer's dream to build more sprawling suburban housing developments
without worrying about paying anything to handle the extra traffic.
This isn't the only destructive issue in this legislative hodgepodge:
. The Development of Regional Impact reviews for large projects would be scra.pped in these same coumies, including
HilIsborough and Pinellas. and hundreds of cities. There would be no accountability for the way one local government
handles a large development that affects a neighboring city or county.
. Portable classrooms and charter schools could be counted when considering whether school capacity needs are
being met. Charter schools can easily appear and disappear, and portables are among the most obvious symbols of
unplanned growth.
. The existing density for residential land could not be changed in many unincorporated areas. That would handcuff

counties that want to manage development by. say. replacing mobile home parks with fewer traditional houses or by
increasing the number of units in appropriate places.
. Certain development permits issued by state and local govemments would be automatically extended for two years,
undercutting local control.
. Local governments could not require security cameras to be installed in businesses. such as St. Petersburg recently
required of some convenience stores.
By themselves. all of these issues would be cause for concern. In a package, they would be disastrous for Florida.
Legislators exploited the economic crisis to reward developers and mount a frontal assault on growth management. Do
not buy the claims that government bureaucracy is stalling development that fuels Florida's economy. More than
300,000 housing units sit vacant and millions of square feet of retail space are approved but unbultt. Overdevelopment.
not growth management ruies, helped create this collapse.
The govemor says he loves Florida. He has been fOlWard-looking in protecting the environment, supporting mass
transit and pushing for renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. This legislation
would do great harm to the state and directly contradicts his goats. Crist should send a strong message by vetoing SB
360 and demanding a better vision for Rorida's future than longer traffic jams, fancier strip malls and spraWling
subdivisions.

THE FLORIDA COAST AND AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY COMMISSION
CHAIRMAN TO TRANSMIT THIS RESOLUTION TO THE GOVERNOR AND
FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.
WHEREAS, Florida's economy depends on its multi-billion dollar tourism industry,
which resulted in more than 82 million visitors coming to Florida in 2008, during which period
tourism generated over $4.0 billion in taxable sales; and,
\VlIEREAS, Tax revenues from tourism during 2008 exceeded $1.2 billion and over
31,300 people were directly employed, receiving nearly $900 million in tourism wages, as a
result of the State's tourism industry; and,
WHEREAS, the Collier County local hotel tax alone exceeded $14.5 million dollars
during fiscal year 2008; and,
WHEREAS, oil and natural gas drilling in waters off the coast of Florida will increase the
risk of oil pollution on Florida Beaches; and,
WHEREAS, the risk to Florida's economy posed by oil and natural gas drilling off of
Florida's coasts is substantial and even a small oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico off of Collier
County could be devastating to our most important visitor amenities; and,
WHEREAS, tax revenues generated from Florida's growing tourism industry are critical
to continued funding of essential governmental services, including transportation, schools, and
public safety; and,
WHEREAS, HB 1219, if passed by the State Legislature, would allow for near-shore gas
and oil drilling on submerged stated lands underlying the territorial waters off the State within
three (3) miles off the Florida coast; and,

From:
Amy Patterson, Impact Fee and Economic

Subject:
House Bill 227 - Relating to Impact Fees - 2009
The following is a summary of House Bill 227 - Relating to Impact Fees 2009, which passed
both the Florida House and the Florida Senate during the 2009 Florida Legislative Session. The
bill has been enrolled and was presented to the Governor for his signature on May 18, 2009. The
Florida Association of Counties is requesting that the Governor veto this bill.
Development impact fees have been used throughout the State of Florida for nearly three
decades. The oversight of these impact fee programs falls under the home rule authority afforded
to jurisdictions statewide. Local governments have successfully relied on constitutional
authorities and precedent established by case law in the calculation, establishment and
administration of impact fees. Additionally, general statutory guidance, by way of the Florida
Impact Fee Act, was set forth in 2006. Collier County has administered an impact fee program
since 1978 and strongly believes that House Bill 227 will undermine Collier County's ability to
effectively provide gro\\-th-necessitated capital infrastructure improvements, as statutorily
required, for the following reasons:
1. House Bill 227 is unwarranted and unnecessary legislative intervention with respect
to impact fees. Twenty-five years plus of case law has been established related to the
legal imposition of impact fees. This enrolled bill undermines that history as well as
local and appropriate home rule authority, and appears to display the intent of the
Legislature to exercise additional controls over impact fees in general.
..,
Requires the local government to comply with the dual rational nexus test and the
Impact Fee Act (Florida Statutes) by a more rigorous test of the "preponderance of the
evidence" rather than the current test of "reasonableness." The "preponderance of the
evidence" standard will require local governments to show that their approach is
"more likely than not" to be correct. While each of Collier County's impact fees are
calculated and updated by experts in the field and are reviewed by outside counsel for
legal sufficiency, in order to comply with the dual rational nexus test, even these

measures do not guarantee that unsubstantiated legal challenges will not be filed at the
expense of the local jurisdiction.
3. Removes the ability of the court to defer to local discretion (the local "presumption of
correctness") therefore increasing the scrutiny on local governments and narrowing
alternatives for calculating and imposing impact fees.
4. This legislation undermines the recommendations of the Florida Impact Fee Review
Task Force. The Task Force was created by the Legislature in 2005, by way of Senate
Bill 360, in order to survey and review the issues related to impact fees and ultimately
publish a report and recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature by
February 1, 2006. The Task Force meetings were held in late 2005 and early 2006.
With regards to the issue of the burden of proof, the Task Force voted 'no' statutory
guidance be included on the issue of changing the legal burden of proof for impact fee
challenges. Therefore, by way of HB 227, the Legislature invalidates the
recommendation of the Task Force it empowered to make such policy
recommendations related to impact fees.
5. This legislation is likely to encourage dueling legal opinions based on differing Court
interpretations. The consistent and rational case law of the last twenty-five plus years
may give way to random, local interpretations, throwing statewide consistency aside.
6. This action is unnecessary as the majority of jurisdictions incorporate an appeal
process and alternative fee calculation processed into their adopted regulations.
These methods provide a petitioner with the ability to appeal to the local government
and ultimately the Courts in the event of an impact fee dispute.
7. House Bi1l227 is not limited to new impact fees, therefore the more rigorous standard
will now apply to lawful impact fees that either stand as adopted/updated or have
successfully withstood challenge.
In closing, House Bill 227 is legislation that further erodes Collier County's home rule authority
and undermines the Board of County Commissioners' ability to provide for the infrastructure
needs and demands generated by growth. Preservation of this ability is essential to ensure the
health, safety and welfare of Collier County residents. As stated above, this bill is unwarranted
and unnecessary legislative intervention with respect to impact fees.
If you require any further information related to this legislation, please let me know.

My Word: Local governments work for voters
Christopher L. Holley
Special to the Sentinel
May 17,2009
Often, issues come before the voter that will dramatically
impact a community. When that vote comes up, who do
citizens look to for information to understand the
impacts? If a vote will increase emergency-response
times in a community from 5 minutes to 15 minutes,
wouldn't citizens want to know? We vote on many
critical local issues, such as tourist development taxes,
property-tax changes and consolidation of local services.
The voters should hear from local governments on those issues.
The Orlando Sentinel's editorial, "End the campaigning,"
on Thursday missed the mark and only fuels unfounded
and unfair accusations against local governments. Local
governments work for their citizens and communities to
improve services and quality of life; they do not work
against the voters they serve.
Apparently, the Orlando Sentinel thinks local government might work against its community rather than
for its community when it takes a position on an issue that is coming before the voters. The Legislature
and the Sentinel underestimate the voters. Citizens know the importance of being informed and holding
their local government officials accountable.
While Senate Bill 216 permits factual information to be distributed, there is a fine line between
education and advocacy. All information during an election is provided to influence votes - even when
it's just the facts. Now it will take a judge and expensive legal proceedings to determine what is factual
and what is not.
Local governments count on public funds to provide the services and quality of life Floridians deserve
and depend on. It is unfair to silence the voice of local governments in legitimate debate when the
sustainability of a service, or funding, or a community is at stake. The Florida Supreme Court agrees
with the Florida Association of Counties, saying, "Leaders have both a duty and a right to say which
course of action they think best, and to make fair use of their offices for this purpose. The people elect
government leaders precisely for this purpose."
The bill limits freedom of speech for our officials and county employees, but the Sentinel discounts this
fact assuming the state can't limit our free speech. Unfortunately, it is ajudge, not the Sentinel, who will

have to intervene to preserve our right to the First Amendment. Instead, many counties will simply stop
providing information to avoid court costs and negative headlines.
The Legislature and the Orlando Sentinel got this one wrong. The governor should veto this bill so that
local governments and local officials can continue to provide both opinions and information on matters
that affect the fabric of our communities.
Christopher L. Holley is executive director of the Florida Association of Counties.

Brent Batten: Cutting through the Tallahassee
smoke screen
By BRENT BATIEN
Saturday, May 9, 2009
There was a time when it was generally accepted that Florida state policy was forged out of the public view
during high-stakes negotiation sessions conducted in smoke-filled rooms.
But not anymore.
There's no smoking in the Capitol.
But other than that, the perception persists and the 2009 conclave did nothing to dispel it. If anything, It did
just the opposite.
Consider for example how a handful of issues of interest to Southwest Floridians played out.
Alligator Alley. There may not be a scientific poll to validate the view, but based on the statements of Collier
County's elected commissioners and publiC turnout at forums on the subject, you have to conclude that the
lease of the link between Broward and Collier counties to a private firm isn't something local voters want.
A bill by Rep. Tom Grady of Naples would have assured money from such a lease, should it occur, would have
to be used for projects in Collier and Broward and that it would have to be in addition to, rather than in place
of, money the Department of Transportation already has budgeted for the counties. It went nowhere.
A bill by state Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, that would have placed a two-year moratorium on the
Alligator Alley lease and similar public-private partnerships likewise stalled.
Aronberg's later efforts to tack Alligator Alley to another transportation bill through an amendment that would
force the lease to a vote of the full Legislature or undergo review by the state Council on Efficient Government
also were rebuffed by legislative leaders.
So even with considerable publiC sentiment to halt or slow the lease of Alligator Alley, nothing was done. The
process moves ahead, with only instability in the financial markets and the economy in general seeming to
stand in the way.
Offshore oil. A year agol when gasoline was around $4 a gallon, there was more pressure than ever to
increase oil and natural gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico. The debate was to move the line that puts the
eastern Gulf off-limits from its present spot about 125 miles off Florida to some lesser distance, perhaps 100
or 75 miles.
But 10 and behold, a plan to bring oil exploration as close as three miles surfaced in the Florida House. It
actually gained House approval in a 70 to 43 vote with Southwest Florida's representatives in favor but was
stymied in the Senate. Its ultimate failure notwithstanding, where was the hue and cry from the publiC to even
bring this issue up?
A poll commissioned by supporters of the idea showed 60 percent of Floridians in favor of more drilling. But it
failed to mention to those respondents that the figure suddenly in play is three miles, not 75 miles. Aside from
that wobbly rationale, there is no evidence that drilling in state waters is something for which the public is

Advocacy on referenda. Local boards were surprised to find, sailing through to passage, a new law that would
prohibit them from spending taxpayer money to advocate a position in a referendum.
Is there a big problem statewide with local boards squandering money trying to sway public opinion in a
referendum? The bill's sponsors cite a case in Volusia County but beyond that, where's the crisis?
A good example of a board spending money during a referendum can be found right here, right now in Collier
County.
Golden Gate fire commissioners are asking their taxpayers to raise the property tax millage cap as a means of
offsetting declining property values.
They've put out a brochure on the topic. Sensing possible voter backlash, they include a passage, "The
brochure is not meant to endorse or support a specific position for this ballot measure."
Yet It notes that if the referendum fails, a fire station will close and 21 firefighters will be let go. Its title
"Minutes Matter," suggests the referendum's failure will threaten public safety.
How many lawyers would stay busy for how many years parsing the Golden Gate brochure to find some
violation of the law that the Legislature passed earlier this month? Litigation averse boards will simply not
bother to inform voters of the issues before them rather than risk liability.
If voters feel the Golden Gate brochure or any similar material is too partisan and not factual they already
have a mechanism at their disposal. They can vote the offending parties out of office. But the Legislature has
seen fit to inject itself into this local equation just prior to 2010, when major issues affecting local home rule
stand to be on the ballot.
Clerks of the Courts. In a conflagration that started in Collier County, clerks of courts and county commissions
have been at odds over who gets the say in spending interest earned on money a clerk invests on behalf of
the county.
The question ended up before an appeal court, which in April issued a ruling stating the law plainly says the
money is income to the clerk of courts.
After the Legislature had finished all its business except for voting on a final budget, leaders of the two houses
decided to change the law. Even though the question has nothing to do with the state budget, it ended up
being decided in budget negotiations between just a few people.
It's not just cynical outsiders who notice the capricious ways of the Florida Legislature. Those in its ranks and
others with vested interests in the results can't help but comment on them as well.
"They made a promise, 'If you amend it and send it over, we'll pass it.' But they didn't," said Aronberg,
describing House Republican leaders' treatment of his Alligator Alley proposal.
"I believe anything can happen in Tallahassee," said Collier County Commissioner Fred Coyle, describing his
skepticism that the new law on interest money will become a reality.
"Nothing is ever done until it's done," said state Rep. Nick Thompson of Fort Myers about items that could
appear in or disappear from the state budget between the time the chambers approve their versions and the
final compromise version comes back for a vote.
"1 suspect it will come back again," Grady said, describing his belief that language in the Alligator Alley
amendment would change yet again.

"If that's the process, then that's the process. But It's reprehensible and somebody's got to do something,"
said Collier County Clerk of Courts Dwight Brock after the interest income law was changed without a debate
by the full Legislature.
For the capital of a place that calls itself The Sunshine State, a lot of what goes on in Tallahassee is shrouded
in smoke, the smoking ban notwithstanding.

RE: SB 2282 First Responder Services
SB 2282 is a bill that is intended to limit the ability of Counties and Municipalities to recover the expenses of
negligent acts resulting from motor vehicle collisions. The bill is poorly written and contains a number of
ambiguities that could have dramatic unintended consequences on existing County programs.
The most significant question in the bill is which exact services are prohibited from recovering fees under this
bill? While the stated intention of this bill is to prohibit recovery of expenses only from motor vehicle
accidents, there is the potential that the bill could be interpreted by a court has having much broader
implications. In the excerpt below, the language and grammar of this bill creates an ambiguity which can be
read as barring a county from recovering the costs of any service provided by a firefighter, EMT/EMT-P or law
enforcement officer. If a court were to view this bill as such, this bill could in effect prohibit a wide range of
activities including fees for inspections, law enforcement reports and even public education when performed by
a firefighter, EMT/EMT-P or law enforcement officer. The ability to defend against this interpretation would
depend on the court finding that the language of the bill is not clear which would leave open the opportunity to
consider legislative intent where bill analysis discusses the intent to limit this prohibition to expenses from
collisions only.
A county may not impose a fee or seek reimbursement for any costs or expenses that may be incurred for
services provided by a first responder, including costs or expenses related to personnel, supplies, motor
vehicles, or equipment in response to a motor vehicle accident
Related to the recovery of EMS transport services, the bill does contain an exception for "costs for
transportation and treatment provided by ambulance services licensed pursuant to ss. 401.23(4) and 401.23(5)."
This language is unclear as to whether this applies only to cases where there is treatment and transportation or
when either treatment or transportation occurs. It is possible that a court could hold that this bill only provides
an exception in cases where treatment and transportation occurred, which could result in the interpretation that
the practice of billing for treatment without transportation is a prohibited practice under this legislation. It is
important to note that unlike the discussion related to which specific services are prohibited from recovering
fees, there is no discussion on the intent of this exception in staff analysis, which could limit the ability to
defend against this bill in court on the grounds oflegislative intent if the interpretation that the only exception
for ambulance services is in the cases where treatment and transportation occur.
We have heard from our billing consultants that the Governor may veto this bill, but even if he doesn't, I believe
we will be fine.

CS/SJR 532 - Property Tax Limit/Additional Homestead Exemption
CS/SJR 532 - Property Tax Limit/Additional Homestead Exemption
by Finance and Tax Committee and Senators Lynn and Altman
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to s. 4, Art. VII of the State Constitution, to provide that except for
school district levies, the annual maximum assessment change on non-homestead residential real property is
reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent of the assessment for the previous year.
The joint resolution further proposes an amendment to create subsection (f) in section 6, Art. vn of the State
Constitution, to provide that the Legislature, by general law, must provide an additional homestead exemption
to a person or persons who establish the right to receive a regular homestead exemption within one year after
purchasing the homestead property, and who have not owned a principal residence during the 8-year period
prior to the purchase ofthe property. For married persons, neither spouse may have owned a principal residence
during the preceding eight years. The additional exemption is equal to 25 percent of the just value of the
property on January 1 of the year in which the regular homestead exemption may first apply to assessment of the
property but may not exceed $ 1 00,000,
The additional exemption is reduced each subsequent year by an amount equal to 20 percent of the initial
additional exemption, or by an amount that is equal to the difference between just value and assessed value,
whichever is greater. The additional exemption may not apply after the fifth year in which it is granted, and only
one additional exemption may apply to a single homestead property. The additional exemption applies to all
levies, including school district levies.
The joint resolution proposes to amend the schedule of implementation in Art. XII of the State Constitution to
provide that if approved by voters, the revision to s. 4, Art. VII of the State Constitution will take effect January
1,2011; and the revision to s. 6, Art. VII of the State Constitution will take effect January 1,2011 and first
apply to homestead property purchased by first-time homebuyers on or after January 1,2010.
If approved by 60 percent of persons voting in the November 2010 General Election, these provisions take
effect January 1,2011.
According to the Revenue Estimating Conference, the fiscal impact to counties in 2011-12 fiscal year is -$13.1
million growing to -$5 l.3 million in 2015-16 FY. The revenue impact to counties for the reduction ofthe non-
homestead cap from 10 to 5% is as follows: -$77.6 million in 2011-12 FY growing to a negative impact of $209
million in 2013-14 statewide in non-school county tax revenues.

Property-tax tweaks won't bring equit~l
The Tampa Tribune
Florida lawmakers again refused to try to fix major flaws in how property is taxed in this state.
Instead they are offering voters next year a chance to reduce a small part of the inequity for targeted
taxpayers.
The Legislature is offering a constitutional amendment for voter approval in 2010 that would give a
tax incentive to people who haven't ov\'ned a home in eight years. Don't ask where the eight years
comes from; it's arbitrary.
It means that a qualified buyer of a full-time residence next year would get an extra property-tax
exemption of 25 percent of the home's value. The break phases out over five years.
The same measure would cap increases in the taxable value of businesses, apartments and other
property not eligible for a homestead exemption to 5 percent a year (down from 10), except for
school taxes. The increase in the taxable value of homesteads has long been capped at 3 percent a
year.
There's no need to decide now how you'll vote in 18 months, but it's not too early to think. about how
these nips and tucks do nothing to improve the ugly asymmetry of Florida's tax structure.
Longtime homeoV\rners will still enjoy huge tax savings over both new homeowners and business
owners, and the tax burden will continue to gradually shift to business. As soon as the economy
recovers, tax unfairness will again be an expanding characteristic of the Florida economy.
New businesses and businesses that change locations will face an increasingly high tax penalty. The
new law, like the Save Our Homes Amendment on which it is based, will force future legislators to
wrangle over how to fix it or work around it.
Of more immediate interest to most voters is the tax break proposed for new property owners. The
driving motivation behind this superficial change is to stimulate home buying. If it does encourage
sales, it could give some help to everyone with property on the market.
''It's going to turn renters into buyers," says Rep. Carl Domino of Jupiter, one of the amendment's
sponsors.
We're less optimistic. Buyers of new homes could save $1,500 or more, but actual savings for most
buyers will be much less. The median sales price of a home in the Tampa area is $135,300. Buy that
house, and your tax would be about $2,050. But if it's your first house in eight years, the tax would be
reduced to $1,313 in the first year.
The logic of helping new buyers is based on the wrong assumption that anyone who owns a house is
better off financially than anyone who does not. The median price of a single-family home in Tampa
has dropped 27 percent since this time last year, so if you bought last year, you could easily be out
$50,000 and wish you had kept renting.

Page 123 of 232
As a financial incentive, the tax break is insignificant. And because the break phases out, it's a
gimmick and not a solution to the problem of wildly different tax rates for owners of identical
properties.
Its best justification is that the law would reduce for a few years the tax penalty on new buyers.
Consider how the change would apply to four identical homes, each worth $200,000, on the same
Tampa street.
In this simplified scenario, home A was bought last year by a retiree from Ohio for $200,000. His
taxes are $3.456 a year, using 2008 tax rates. Ifhe only winters here and maintains his permanent
address up north, his Florida taxes would be 26 percent higher.
Home B was bought 25 years ago by an owner who benefited from the Save Our Homes tax cap. Her
taxes are $ 1,281 a year. Home C is being bought by another longtime Florida resident who used the
new portability feature to transfer a big tax cap from his old home to the new one. His taxes also will
be $1,281.
Home D is being bought by newlyweds who have never owned a home. The new amendment would
lower their taxes from $3,456 to $2,368 the first year. After five years, they'll pay the same amount as
the owner of home A.
Rep. Domino and others are already talking about tinkering with the proposed change. He wants to
give the break to anyone who hasn't owned a homestead in Florida, even if they own a home now in,
say, Ohio.
Creating special exemptions designed to lure selected buyers is a shortsighted strategy, especially
when the tax burden is being shifted to job-creating businesses. The state's growth-addicted economy
has been nationally ridiculed for having characteristics of a Ponzi scheme. The way to improve
Florida's reputation and appeal to the upcoming surge of retiring baby boomers is to offer them a fair,
simple and predictable taxing system, not a teaser rate and a confusing array of vanishing discounts.
The inequities that exist on every street reflect the need for basic reforms. A recent arrival is still so
unfairly overtaxed that you can't blame him for thinking about moving back to Ohio.

SB788; Seminole Indian Gaming Compact
Debbie:
Let me know if this works.
The Senate and House voted to approve Senate Bill 788 which contained legislative parameters regarding the Governor's
authority to execute a gaming compact with the Seminole Indian Tribe as well as major modifications to gaming allowed at
the pari-mutuels (greyhounds, horse tracks, jai lai, etc.). More specifically, the legislation if executed will be a major
economic detriment to Collier County as it will not allow banked card games (blackjack, baccarat, etc.) at the Seminole
Casino in Immokalee. This is contrary to the compact previously executed by the Governor and the Seminole Tribe on
November 14,2007. If executed by the Governor and the Seminole Tribe, the 22 million dollar expansion which resulted in
an additional 500 employees in Collier County to service expanded table games, new restaurants and expanded
entertainment will no longer exist in Immokalee. The building of the Hard Rock Hotel with numerous tourist amenities on
the approximately 250 acres at the rear of the property will most likely not transpire as this economic catalyst project was
dependent on banked card games that included blackjack, baccarat, Pai Gow, 3 Card poker, and higher betting limits
which exist in Immokalee now with the exception of higher poker betting limits. The Seminole Casino in Immokalee was
the proverbial sacriticiallamb to allow for unimpeded Seminole Gaming in Broward and Hillsborough Counties as well as
for the expansion of major gaming for all pari-mutuels in Florida with the Naples/Fort Myers Greyhound Track benefitting to
the economic detriment of the Seminole Indian casino in Immokalee. Fortunately this legislation does not become
effective unless executed by the Governor and the Seminole Indian tribe. The Seminole Indian tribe is under no obligation
to execute a gaming compact with the Governor and it is in the best interests of Collier County to involve all affected
parties in the Immokalee and Rural Lands Stewardship Area in retaining the planned expansion to include a hard Rock
Hotel on the Seminole Indian Casino site.

From: Stockwell, Sara [Sara.Stockwell@LASPBS.STATE.FL.US]
Sent: Monday, May 18,200912:09 PM
Cc: Stockwell, Sara
Subject: From the Office of the Governor
May 18, 2009
Thank you for writing to Governor Charlie Crist regarding the state's tribal gaming compact
with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The Governor appreciates hearing from you and asked that
I respond on his behalf.
When Governor Crist took office, Indian casinos, bingo, "cruises to nowhere," pari-mutuel
wagering, and slot machine gaming were among the types of gambling already authorized in
the state. The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) provides that Indian tribes are
allowed to offer any gaming options that are allowed elsewhere within the state on their
reservations. When Florida's voters approved the twenty-third amendment to Florida's
Constitution authorizing slot machines in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, the authority to
operate expanded forms of gambling, classified as "Class III" gaming under the IGRA, was
extended to Florida's Indian tribes, including the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
While Governor Crist has been opposed to the expansion of gambling in our state, he
recognizes that federal law entitles Indian tribes to offer additional forms of gambling. In
November 2007, in accordance with the Seminole Tribe's rights under federal law, Governor
Crist negotiated a compact with the Seminole Tribe that would best benefit the citizens of
Florida while complying with federal guidelines. If the compact had not been in place, the
federal government would have likely approved the Seminole Tribe's request to allow Class III
gaming, including slot machines, on tribal lands without any requirement to share revenue with
the state.
On January 7, 2008, the United States Department of Interior's approval of the 25-year
compact between the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida appeared in the
Federal Register. Upon publication of the federal government's approval, the Seminole Tribe
of Florida transferred $50 million to the state's treasury and has since transferred an additional
$87.5 million to the state. It is expected that the Seminole Tribe will have paid $287.5 million
to the state by the end of Fiscal Year 2009-10. As part of the compact, Governor Crist
recommended that the Legislature use the negotiated gaming revenues to support and
enhance Florida's public education system.
Following the United States Department of Interior's approval, the Florida Supreme Court
ruled that the compact with the Seminole Tribe requires legislative approval. Funds received to
date have been placed in reserve in the state Treasury and are not available for distribution
until the issue is resolved and the funds are appropriated by the Legislature. The Legislature is
currently reviewing the Indian gaming compact issue and I am hopeful that they will promptly

resolve the issue to the benefit of all Floridians.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write to Governor Crist. Your thoughts are important
to him. You may wish to contact your local legislators to share your thoughts regarding the
gaming compact.
Sincerely,
Sara Stockwell
Executive Office of the Governor

POLley P OIN TS :F 10 rid a TABOR
KEY ISSUES FORCONSIDERATION
Proposals in Florida would create a TABOR that is very similar to.Colorado's TABOR -and
would in some ways be more restrictive.
. It would limit the growth of most types of revenues ata111evels of government to the rate of
inflation plus population growth (orenrolhnent growth for schools). Voter approval would be
required to exceed this limit.
. The base year for applying this growth formula would be 2010~2011, which will lock-in
recession-clevel revenues in perpetuity. Goldman~Sachs is now forecasting that the national
unemployment rate will continue to rise through theC1Zdqf2010 and will reach 10% at that time;
and most analysts expect unemployment to remain high for a significant subsequent period.
. It would create an additional limit for property tax; property tax could increase only as a result
of new construction unless voters approved an increase.
. There is a provision for increasing revenues in an emergency, but it is extremely cumbersome
and may not be available when needed. Emergency taxes may be levied only if the Governor
deckres a state of emergency and the taxes are approved by a two-thirds vote of the
membership of each house of the legislature or local governing body. Moreover, the emergency
tax must subsequently be ratified by a vote of the people.
. It would create nearly insunnounta.ble barriers to issuing bonds for infrastructure development,
school construction, or other pw:poses. A two-thirds vote of electors would be required for
any jurisdiction to incur multi-year debt - unless the jurisdiction already has on hand sufficient
cash reserves to repay the debt and interest .and irrevocably dedicates those futtds to do so.
Few jurisdictions would have on hand, in cash, the entire amount needed to repay a 3D-year
bond issue; if the jurisdiction did have that much cash on hand, it might not need to. issue the
bond.
. If a jurisdiction is able to float a bond issue, the debt senrice on the bonds would decrease the
revenue limit by the amount of the annual debt service. So any infrastructure improvements
would directly compete fO! funding with current services such as education, public safety, and
health care.
The Colorado experience shows thafTABOR doesn~t work and it won't solve ,anything; It Is a
gimmick and a false promise.
TABOR makes a lot of promises, but it failed in Coloradohecause it is too rigid and cut too
many important services. Floridians want a common sense approach that meets priorities while
having a balanced budget and tax system. Florida TABOR does not improve the system, it
makes it worse.
Pagel --
Agenda Item No. 100
May 26,2009
Page 137 of 232
TABOR does not ensure a more efficient, effective or accountable government. Instead, it
places govero..ment on auto-pilot and makes elected leaders powerless. It sets unrealistic limits
on revenues and prevents investment in strengthening the state's infrastructure, preparing
children for the future through a f.1tst-rate education system, and providing accessible, affordable
health care.
The provisions for issuing bonds is far more complicated and prohibitive than Colorado's
provisions, and are likely to result in a major deterioration of infrastructure in Florida.
TABOR fails to protect our most vulnerable citizens from program cuts: children, the
elderly, and the handicapped.
Proponents suggest it would merely limit growth to "reasonable levels," but in fact TABOR
would result in deep cuts in certain areas of spending like education and human sen;ces. The
TABOR formula does not account for types of expenditures dlat rise more rapidly than general
inflation, such as health care; if health care costs nationally are rising faster than inflation there is
little a state can do to control costs other dlan reduce eligibility or the level of care. Similarly,
the rigid formula fails to account for particularly expensive-to-serve segments of the population
that might be growing faster than general population growth.
Because some costs rise faster than arbitrary limits allow in the measure, the remaining areas of
spending are "crowded out" and would have to be cut for governments to meet the overall
lirni ts.
TABOR makes government more complicated and less responsive with a cumbersome
budgeting and approval process.
The one-size-fits~all TABOR formula fails to address the realities of a complex world. When
Florida suffers droughts, flooding, and other emergencies, government must be able to step in to
help people get through tough times. As noted above, TABOR provisions that articulate bow
emergencies are handled are complicated, time-consuming, and difficult to execute - and may
even bar use offunds readily available in the Budget Stabilization Fund to meet an emergency.
TABOR DID NOT work in Colorado, and TABOR in Florida will cause similar deterioration:
Education
. By 2000, Colorado had fallen to SOu, in K-12 spending, making the state dead laSt in the percentage
of state wealth devoted to public schools.
. The state rames last.in sending disadvantaged kids to college.
. Colorado ranks near last among states ill high school gradlli'lUOn rates.
. Colorado ranks 49th in state support of higher education.
Health Care
. Colorado spends less than most other states on public health.
. Colorado is at the bottom in rates of prenatal care.
Page 2 --
Agenda Item No. 100
May 26, 2009
Page 138 of 232
. Colorado has the highest rate of uninsured low-income children in the nation.
. Colorado ranks 49th in spending on Medicaid and costs for Colorado employers to provide health
insurance for their employees rank 13th highest in the country
Economic Development
. Colorado's highways are in a state of grO".ving disrepair with less than 60% rated good or fair.
. Colorado lost more jobs in the last recession than any but 3 other states.
. In 2002, the per-capita income in Colorado fell faster than in any other state.
. Colorado unemployment has more than doubled during the last recession; the state lost 18,000 jobs
in 2003 alone.
Fiscal Stability
. Prior to the time out, TABOR resulted in a downgrade of Colorado bond racing.
. Financial analysts specifically blamed TABOR for making the state's fiscal crisis during the last
receSSlOn worse.
. Prior to the time-out described below, Governing ]I,t[agaifne ranked Colorado's finances as among the
worst managed in the country, again due to TABOR.
TABOR was bad for Colorado~ and the voters of Colorado decided to suspend it. Colorado
voters passed a TABOR "time out" to let the state keep and spend revenues collected above the
"cap" on education, economic development, transportation and all the other things that have been
cut so dramatically over the past 12 years.
Proponents claim to have fixed the problems of TABOR by fixing the so-called "ratchet."
The ratchet was not the factor that caused the deterioration of public services in Colorado; the
trast majority of the decline took place during a period of healthy economic growth during which
the ratchet did not operate. And the TABOR time~out prevented the ratchet from taking effect
after the last recession. The key problem is the rigid TABOR formula, which does not allow for a
reasonable level of growth - and which forces essential services to shrink over time.
TABOR is the wrong bill at the wrong time.
As Florida and the rest of dle country struggle with the deepest and longest recession since World
War II, this is the wrong time to be putting risky gimmicks into the state's constitution. Florida
TABOR would assure that Florida continues to have recession-level public services long after the
rest of the country recovers. The effect of TABOR will be to force cuts in important public services
that are critically needed as people try to rebound from these economic conditions, find jobs, afford
healthcare, and take care of their families.
The bottom line is - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Policy makers may be
promising to put money back into your pockets at the same time they promise to maintain or
improve se1\Tices for schoolchildren, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
The math doesn't work and the promises fall short.

CFO SINK OPPOSES NEAR-SHORE DRILLNG BILL THAT THREATENS
FLORIDA'S ECONOMY
TALLAHASSEE - Florida's Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink today released the following
statement opposing the near-shore drilling bill (HB 1219) that is scheduled to be voted on by the
Florida House of Representatives:
"As Florida's Chief Financial Officer it is my responsibility to protect the people of Florida and
all state owned land, and I take these obligations very seriously. That's why I strongly oppose
the near-shore drilling legislation, which would threaten Florida's economy by bringing oil rigs 3
miles off our coast, sanctioning drilling in the shallow waters of the Gulf, and allowing unlimited
pipelines to go through sensitive areas up to our beaches.
"This controversial near-shore drilling bill puts Florida' s billion dollar tourism, fishery, and
marina-related industries at serious risk. and is not in the best interest of Florida. What Florida
should do is look for ways to make our state the leader in the new energy economy, instead of
making our state even more vulnerable.
"I also think it is unconscionable that a bill that could threaten our economy is being passed at
the 11th hour, without any significant debate, serious study, or real time to hear from Florida's
citizens. Floridians deserve to have government in the sunshine -- this bill is government in the
dark of night."

Attention Florida Media:
For those following today's debate in the Florida House of Representatives on HB 1219, please
see the recent Emerald Coast Magazine article about how drilling could adversely affect the
military mission in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Our concern over oil/gas activity is related to the possible damage to oil/gas platforms
associated with permanent production activity," Arnold said. Moreover, the additional
boat and helicopter support activity would require safe passage, and the radio emissions
from the oil and gas platforms could interfere with military missions." --- Bob Arnold, chief
of Eglin Air Force Base's Mission Enhancement Committee.

Drill or No Drill?
Could Offshore Platforms Affect National Security?
By Scott Jackson
Beyond the wondrous vista of the shimmering and pristine coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico reside two of our nation's most precious
resources - the oil and gas reserves below and the airspace above. While the value offur1her oil and gas exploration to the nation's
security is commonly known. the value of the airspace is not
The traditional pillars of economic growth nonnal.ly incorporate land, labor and capital. But in Northwest Florida. there is another pillar
that is equally valuable - airspace It allows not only the flow of commercial aviation for business and tourism but military training and
testing Supersonic dogfights, training missions and 'Weapons testing are conducted by F -15 Eagle and F -22 Raptor fighter jets. as well as
other military aircraft, in specified blocks of airspace Such exercises occur at carefully scheduled times to allow pilots unfettered
concentration to scream through the air and hone their combat skills in a deliriously swirling amalgamation of blue skies, white clouds
and emerald waters Without undue interference, their mindset is rechanneled to the challenge - kill or be killed.
But the waters below this airspace are also coveted for their rich oil and gas reserves by a country seeking energy independence
Eglin Air Force Base's Air Armament Center conducts test and evaluation missions
of new weapons involving full-size target drone aircraft in the skies over the
I30,OOO-square-milc test and training range In the eastern Gulf - an area larger than
the state of New Mexico. Between Oct 1,2007, and Sept 30,2008, more than
3,400 test missions were flown in this airspace
Any civilian encroachment on this training area could reduce the military value of
Eglin's mission to test and evaluate new weapon systems. It isn't the typc oftesting
that can be efficiently performed anywhere else in the continental United Stales
The USAF's F-15 and F'-22 are used
extellsively in Gulf exercises. Photo eourtes~
United States Air Force.
"The Eglin Water Test Range has more airspace available for testing new and
legacy weapons than the combined airspace of all U.S land ranges," said Bob
Arnold, chief of Eglin's Mission Enhancement Committee. "This is important due
to the inereasing safety footprint size of our new fighter aircraft conducting au-to-
air missile tests and training missions. The increased speed of these aircraft, coupled
with the added range of the missiles, requires lllTger 'clear lITeas' for target debris
resulting from our testing."

This range provides training areas for milltary pilots sharpening their combat skills from Air Force runways at Eglin, Tyndall Air Force
Base and Hurlburt Field And the future addition of the new F-35 l.ighmmg II, a state.of-the-art supersonic fighter scheduled to arrive at
Eglin in 2010. \~il1 demand even more use of the airspace The Naval Surface Warfare Center at Panama City also uses the Gulf waters
for lesting and evaluation in the areas of mine warfare. special warfare. diving and life support
The combined economic impact of these four lllstallatlOn5 IS $8.9 billion for Okaloosa and Bay CDunties. according to the Flonda
Defense Fact Book publtshed by the UlllversIly of West Florida's Haas BuslOess Center
Oil and gas drilling operations in the waters of the range cannot co-exIst with ongoing Air Force testing without coordinauon and a fum
understanding be~veen them These behemoth rigs cost upwards of$] billion and Incorporate a logistics lifeline to the mainland
.'Our concern over oil/gas actlviry IS related to the possible damage to oi]igas platforms associated ""th permanent production activity,'.
Arnold said Moreover. the additional boat and hclicopter support activity would require safe passage. and the radio emissions from the
oil and gas platforms could intcrfere with milttary missions
As part of Eglin's test and evaluation mIssion. a fleet of 50 Vietnam-era QF-4 fighter Jets are used as remotely piloted, full-Sized target
drones, along with smaller drones for missile traming and evaluation by the 82nd Aerial Targets Group operating from Tyndall Air Force
Base
"Above-surfacc oil/gas platforms are mcompatible With our military operations In areas of the Gulf of Mexico where we shoot down
things like unmanned drone aircraft," Arnold said "Debns from these types of operations pose a serious safety hazard for the platforms
and personnel who operate them. so obViously. this is not a situation we can allow to occur" Aeeordmg to Arnold, the downing of a 25-
ton QF -4 can produce lens of thousands of pieces of debris, with thc "'Teckage hitting thc water with the force of a minivan collision at
45 mph
Eglin has been working with the L: S Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service - the agency that manages offshore
drilling - for 25 years on the Issue of offshore leases In a June 2008 meeting, With the Mmerals Management Service. the Air Force
agreed to reassess its necds in the test and trainmg range in the eastern Gulf to accommodate oil and gas exploration. according to a
September article in the Bay Beacon
"We recogmze the imponance to nanonaJ secllnry provided by oil/gas energy and arc working with (the Mmerals Management Service)
to accommodate new exploration without Impact to OUI mISsion,'. Arnold said
In 2005, Eglin created the Military Mission Lme, a demarcation of Its airspace extending south from Hurlburt Field Military officials
say drilling and exploration on the west side of that hne would not affect training and test1Dg
A ban on permanent, above-surface strUctures east of what is now the Military Mission Line was agreed on in ]986 This affected 95
previously granted exploraTion lea~es sold by the government In that area For those leases, Eglin allowed five temporary blocks oftime
for exploration, one area at a lIme These time blocks shifted every three months while the military test missions were temporarily moved
to olhcr are~
Should oil companies want to produce oil or gas platforms resulting from exploration. they would requrre a different kind oflea~e from
the Minerals Management Service lhat ha~ been coordinated with the military, according to Arnold To date. no such requests have been
approved
Ifproduction is ever pcrmined. the "ir Force would prefer to see subsurface technology like that used oirthe Alabama coasL where
above-surface platfornls act as hubs conneetcd to subsurface wells by plpelmes and do not pose a risk to test and evaluation missions
"We're perfectly OK with subsurface activ'tYo"' Arnold said
Eg]m allowed construction in 2001 of a 36-mch diameter. 419-mile steel pIpeline on the sea bed between Mobile, Ala, and Tampa - a
path that took the project directly through Eglin's water ranges Thc $16 billion project provides Floridians with I 2 billion cubic feel of
natural gas per day without interfermg with militarv mIssions
As the debate about drilling in ule eastern Gulf continues. the coordmation and communication between the Air Force and the federal
government will continue as it has over the past 25 years as they work to balance competmg needs for expluration and the critical te,1
and evaluation requirements that serve our national secunlY nceds

Editorial: Offshore drilling ... issue that won't go
away needs full public debate
By Staff Reports
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Get used to it.
From now on the drumbeat for offshore drilling will match that for casino gambling. Driven by money, the
push will go on and on and on until someone gives in.
But that doesn't mean our Southwest Florida legislative delegation is off the hook to look out for our best
interests.
As long as there are other, unused oil leases out there and other options for a comprehensive approach to our
nation's energy needs, we are unable to justify the risk to our economy - which is inextricably linked to our
environment - to justify drilling from three to 10 miles offshore in state territory.
We feel the same way about drilling farther out, in federal territory.
Comments on up~close drilling made by two Southwest Florida legislators to a Daily News reporter catch the
eye. Rep. Matt Hudson, R-Naples, is convinced offshore drilling would be safe based on the experience with
inland Collier drilling since the 1940s. Rep. Trudi WiHiams, R-Fort Myers, points to "not one offshore spill"
amid Hurricane Katrina.
We would take issue with those reasons being the bedrock of such important policy.
Williams' "not one spill" comment, which has often been repeated by politicians, is simply not true. A simple
check of the Department of the Interior, U.S. Minerals Management Service Web site does indeed note that
Katrina did not experience a major oil spill.
But Katrina caused about 70 spills in the Gulf with a volume more than 230,000 gallons, according to a study
by Det Norske Veritas, commissioned by the MMS.
The same study said Hurricane Rita in 2005 resulted in fewer spills, 54, but with a greater volume, more than
500,000 gallons.
The study does consider the spills a success story of sorts, considering the size of the storms, the number of
rigs and pipelines in the Gulf and the resulting size of the spills, all of which occurred offshore with "no
onshore impacts." The iconic Exxon Valdez spill involved more than 10 million gallons, by comparison.
But more than 700,000 gallons of oil - the total spilled in both storms - is a lot when it lands on your beach.
And allowing drilling within three miles certainly brings such threats too close.
The other day all members of our region's House delegation went along and voted "yes" for the offshore
drilling proposal.
Thank gOOdness that as the measure moves along to the Senate and perhaps Gov. Charlie Crist, its chances of
formal approval fade, according to the Associated Press.

The Southwest Florida delegation in the Senate ought to lead that charge.
The best way to get any energy policy done is to let everyone know in advance of a legislative session what's
on the agenda and invite all sides to come and debate the pros and cons, for better or for worse, in full public
view. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wednesday, April 29, 2009
COLLIER COUNTY - Some of Collier County's elected representatives stand firmly against a plan to allow oil
exploration as close as three miles to Florida's coast.
They're just not the ones whose votes count.
Collier County commissioners on Tuesday voted 4 to 1 in favor of a resolution decrying energy exploration
closer than 25 miles to the shore.
The vote came a day after the passage of Florida House Bill 1219, which wouid allow the governor and Cabinet
to approve oil and natural gas wells in state waters.
The bill was supported by Southwest Florida representatives Matt Hudson, Tom Grady, Trudi Williams and
Denise Grimsley, all Republicans. That seemed to particularly gall the four commissioners who supported
Tuesday's resolution, which reads, in part, "Whereas, the Collier County board of county commissioners voted
that It is its position that better solutions would be generated if the Collier County legislative delegation
members would consult first with their local county commission prior to representing Collier County interests
on issues of community importance such as offshore drilling."
With Commissioner Tom Henning dissenting, the commissioners agreed that any question of oil or gas
exploration in state waters should be put to a statewide vote.
In approving the resolution, commissioners cited the importance of tourism to the state and local economies
and concluded the risks are too great. "Oil and natural gas drilling in the waters off the coast of Florida will
increase the risk of oil pollution on Florida beaches. Even a small oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico off of Collier
County could be devastating to our most important visitor amenities."
The extent of that risk is at the heart of the debate in Tallahassee, where a similar bill would need to pass the
Senate and gain the signature of the governor, neither of which is assured, before becoming law.
Drilling proponents cite the experience of the Gulf Coast following hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The
U.S. Minerals Management Service reported no "significant" spills from offshore oil facilities in those
catastrophiC events.
But there were spills. The MMS recorded 49 individual spills of SO barrels or more in the Gulf in 2005. A barrel
of oil contains 42 gallons, meaning a 50-barrel spill would put 2,100 gallons of petroleum in the water.
MMS spokeswoman Eileen Angelico says the spills are not considered significant because the agency
documented no instances of harm to wildlife or other negative impacts. In the churning waters of a hurricane,
oil dissipates quickly, Angelico noted.
Off the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, wells can be as close as three miles, the same range
contemplated for Florida. Virtually all of the material spilled during the 2005 hurricanes came from containers
on the decks of platforms toppled or damaged by the storms, Angelico said. "All of the subsurface safety
valves worked 100 percent. There was no leakage or spills from the wells."
