Agenda 10/22/2019 Item #16F1 (FY2019/20 Dues Payment - Florida Association of Counties)10/22/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the FY 2019/20 dues payment to the Florida Association of
Counties which, for this year, features a Special Assessment for the Public Awareness Fund.
______________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To approve the FY 2019/20 dues payment to the Florida Association of Counties
which, for this year, also features a Special Assessment for the Public Awareness Fund.
CONSIDERATION: In 2018, the membership of the Florida Association of Counties (FAC)
approved a bylaws amendment altering the dues structure of the organization from unadjusted
2000 population numbers to the most current University of Florida Bureau of Economic and
Business Research (UF-BEBR) population, by county, and an annual inflationary adjustment,
subject to Board approval, capped at the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). According to the Executive Summary provided to the
FAC Board of Directors, this change would better achieve parity amongst member counties.
The revised dues take effect with the FY2019/20 payment on November 1, 2019, and phase in
over a five-year period. The actual dues and estimated dues during this transition are as follows:
FY 2019/20 Actual Dues: $33,959
FY 2020/21 Estimated Dues: $36,856
FY 2021/22 Estimated Dues: $39,886
FY 2022/23 Estimated Dues: $42,142
FY 2023/24 Estimated Dues: $43,484
Additionally, the FAC Board of Directors approved a $1,000,000 special assessment for the FAC
Public Awareness Reserve Fund based upon April 1, 2018, population estimates. This reserve
fund provides a dedicated funding source for statewide public awareness and education
initiatives. Counties have the option to choose payment terms, varying from a one-time lump
sum payment, or equal payments over either a two-year or three-year period.
FISCAL IMPACT: Under Option 1, Lump Sum, dues payable on November 1, 2019, would be
$33,959, with an additional Special Assessment of $17,627 for the Public Awareness Fund.
Sufficient budget exists within the General Fund for payment of the dues.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This executive summary has no immediate growth
management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no
legal issues, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the FY 2019/20
dues payment to the Florida Association of Counties including the Special Assessment for the
Public Awareness Fund.
