EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To validate the proposed expenditures towards the construction of the Randall Intersection at
Immokalee Road Project (Phase 1); to ensure that this project meets the requirements of F.S.
212.055, conforms to the definition of Infrastructure, and is an eligible project in line with County
Ordinance 2018-21 and the ballot language within; to make a finding that the project expenditures
are a valid use of Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding.
OBJECTIVE: To validate the proposed expenditures for the design and permitting, construction, right
of way and mitigation, and construction engineering and inspection of the Randall Intersection at
Immokalee Road Project.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Surtax began to be collected on January 1, 2019. Projects outlined in County
Ordinance 2018-21 are eligible to receive funding from the Surtax so long as the expenditure occurred
after January 1, 2019, the project meets the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the definition of
Infrastructure, and is in line with County Ordinance 2018-21. There were three (3) main categories of
projects identified in Ordinance 2018-21: Transportation Projects, Facilities & Capital Replacements, and
Community Priorities. The Immokalee Road at Randall Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project
was specifically identified within the Transportation Project category, and per Exhibit A $7,000,000 was
allocated.
The Randall Intersection at Immokalee Road Project fulfills the definition of infrastructure as outlined in
F.S. 212.055, which defines Infrastructure as:
“Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction,
reconstruction, or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years,
any related land acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other
professional and related costs required to bring the public facilities into service.”
The Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) develops the Long Range Transportation Plan
(LRTP), which is a twenty-year vision for future transportation needs. The revision cycle occurs every
five years. The 2020 LRTP update originally identified a need for widening Randall Bouelvard to a six -
lane arterial. It remained an unfunded need through subsequent LRTP updates. On May 25, 2018, the
2040 LRTP was amended to include the project in the Cost Feasible Plan. The 2045 LRTP was adopted
by the MPO Board on December 11, 2020. The 2045 LRTP includes the first phase improvements to the
intersection in the 2021-2026 timeframe, and preliminary engineering for the ultimate intersection
improvement - a flyover - in the 2036-2045 planning period.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has completed a Project Development and
Environmental (PD&E) Study that confirms this particular project meets the current needs for operational
and safety improvements. A two-phased approach to complete this project has been proposed. The
interim at-grade preferred build alternative (Phase 1- triple lefts) proposes to widen the existing two-lane
Randall Boulevard to four lanes (with a future six lane option available), adding sidewalks and bike lanes
and providing drainage improvements. The project limits extend along Immokalee Road (SR 846) to
approximately one mile south of Oil Well Road and east along Randall Boulevard from the Immokalee
Road/ Randall Boulevard intersection to just east of the intersecion of Randall Boulevard and 8th Steet NE
(about 0.75 miles in length). The intersection improvements will consist of constructing three left turn
lanes and one right turn lane westbound from Randall Boulevard continuing through an upgraded traffic
signal and onto Immokalee Road. A continuous-flow right turn lane is proposed eastbound on Immokalee
Road to eastbound on Randall Boulevard. A new traffic signal and intersection will be constructed at the

Packet Pg. 819 Attachment: [Linked] Agenda and Back-up Documents - March 03, 2021 (15486 : Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee - March 03,

Randall Boulevard and 8th Street NE intersection. The corridor will be evaluated for street lighting
improvements.
The ultimate preferred build alternative (Phase 2- flyover) proposed plan for this intersection is to
construct a two-lane flyover bridge westbound from Randall Boulevard to Immokalee Road bypassing the
traffic signal along with expanding the continuous-flow right turn lane to two-lanes. Although the Phase 2
portion of the project is planned beyond 2035, a Bridge Development Report (BDR) and determination of
required right-of-way needed for the bridge structure will be completed in phase 1 of the Project.
The preliminary cost estimate for the design and permitting, construction, right-of-way and mitigation,
and construction engineering and inspection of the Randall Intersection at Immokalee Road Project
(Phase 1) is $10,835,000. Staff recommends a validation of $7,000,000 in Surtax funding from the
Transportation Project category to finance phase 1 of this project.
On July 29, 2010, the Board approved a developer agreement with the Emergent Development Group,
Inc. The agreement covered many items, one of which was the donation of a majority of the right-of-way
necessary for this project. Unfortunately, the corporation is no longer active. Several of the underlying
property owners are working with County staff to modify the agreement. Any recindment or modification
of the existing developer agreement will require Board action. To be conservative, staff has included the
previously assumed right-of-way donations in the overall right-of-way cost estimates of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT: Total project cost is estimated at $10,835,000 of which $3,835,000 will come from
gas tax or impact fees. The remaining estimated cost of $7,000,000, requested to be validated, is available
in infrastructure sales surtax funding from the Transportation Project category for the Randall Intersection
at Immokalee Road Project (Phase 1).

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office.
Ordinance No. 2018-21, the Collier County infrastructure surtax ordinance, created the Infrastructure
Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee, whose duties are as follows:
Duties. The Committee shall have the responsibility to review the expenditure of Surtax
proceeds against the ballot referendum approved by the voters and this Ordinance. The
Board may expend proceeds of the Surtax on projects not specifically stated herein or in
the attached Exhibit A, so long as those projects (1) comply with the intent of the ballot
language, (2) have a positive recommendation by this Committee, and (3) fall within the
projects and categories identified. The Committee shall not recommend alternative
projects, unless requested by the Board.
A copy of the ordinance, which contains the ballot language, is attached to this Executive Summary
for the Committee’s review. The Committee will note that Randall Intersection is specifically included in
Exhibit A.
In addition to the Ordinance, it is important that the Committee be comfortable that the proposed
expenditure comports with Florida Statute Sec. 212.055, which authorizes the local government
infrastructure sales surtax. That statute states, in relevant part as follows:
212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of proceeds

(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.-
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be expended by
the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the case of a negotiated
joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and construct infrastructure; to acquire
any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or protection of natural resources or to prevent or
satisfy private property rights claims resulting from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of
critical state concern; to provide loans, grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners
who make energy efficiency improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local
government ordinance authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of
county-owned or municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be
closed by order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may not be used
for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a population of fewer than
75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or interest for long-term maintenance
costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in s. 125.011
<http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100
-0199/0125/Sections/0125.011.html>, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest
to retire or service indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes,
and for bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.
1. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “infrastructure” means:
a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction, reconstruction,
or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years, any related land
acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other professional and related costs
required to bring the public facilities into service. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph, the term “public
facilities” means facilities as defined in s. 163.3164
<http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100
-0199/0163/Sections/0163.3164.html>(39), s.163.3221

-0199/0163/Sections/0163.3221.html>(13), or s. 189.012(5), and includes facilities that are necessary to
carry out governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, fire stations, general governmental office
buildings, and animal shelters, regardless of whether the facilities are owned by the local taxing authority
or another governmental entity.
A copy of the entire statute is included as back-up to this item.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed this item and believes that the request meets all th e
requirements of both the Statute and the Ordinance. As an aside, only those items which after review by
the County Attorney’s Office appear to satisfy the requirements of both the Ordinance and the Statute will
be brought to the Committee. The County Attorney’s Office opinion, however, is not binding on the
Committee, as the Board of County Commissioners created this Committee “to provide for citizen review
of the expenditure of the Surtax proceeds by the County… (to) serve as an ad hoc advisory and reporting
body to the County.” - CMG
RECOMMENDATION: To validate Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding for the Randall Intersection at
Immokalee Road Project (Phase 1) in the maximum amount of $7,000,000.

§The Improvement Project was first identified by the Collier County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)in the 2020 Long Range
Tr ansportation Plan (LRTP,adopted on Dec 1,1995)as a need fo r a six-
lane divided arterial.It remained an unfunded need in subsequent
LRTPs,until the 2040 update.
§Randall Boulevard is a rural (without curb and gutter),undivided two-
lane minor collector street extending five miles from Immokalee Ro ad
(SR 846)to Desoto Boulevard in eastern Collier County.The corridor has
one travel lane in each direction and roadside drainage ditches.There is
approx imately one mile of sidewalk along the north side of Randall
Boulevard.

§Immokalee Road (CR 846) is a six-lane arterial highway with raised
medians, bike lanes, and sidewalks and pathways in the urban (with
curb and gutter) segments. North of Randall Boulevard Immokalee
Ro ad transitions from six-lanes to a rural two-lane roadway leading to
the City of Immokalee.
§The Florida Department of Transportation funded and completed a
Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study for the
Immokalee Road at Randall Blvd Intersection in December 2020. The
study recommends a preferred build alternative consisting of a two-
phased design and construction process.

•Design:
A design timeframe of about 18 months (depending on permitting requirements,
the right-of-way process and other variables) is anticipated. Any qualified US
company is allowed to participate in this design process. We have budgeted
$950,000 to hire a Design firm for this project.
•Right-of-Way:
Acquisitions for right-of-way will be required for both phases of this project and
will be acquired prior to contract letting for construction on the Phase 1 -interim
preferred build alternative . The right of way process will begin once the design
completes the 60% phase. We estimate approximately $3.2 M will be required to
obtain the right-of-way to complete the entire project (phase 1 -$3.0M, phase 2 -
$200,000).

proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax

of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To validate the proposed additional expenditures of $1,150,000, with a total project cost of
$4,650,000, necessary to complete the previously approved design, purchase, and installation of the
Hurricane Resilience - Pump Station Emergency Back-up Systems at thirty-two (32) wastewater
pump stations; to ensure that this project meets the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the
definition of Infrastructure, and is an eligible project in line with County Ordinance 2018 -21 and
the ballot language within; to make a finding that the project expenditures are a valid use of
Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding.
OBJECTIVE: To provide additional funding required to implement the Design-Build Pump Station
Emergency Power Resiliency project, described as Phase 2 below.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 3, 2019, the Infrastructure Surtax Citizens Oversight Committee
validated the emergency backup system project for thirty-two critical pump stations. The original project
estimated that was validated can be summarized as follows:
Phase Description Budget
1 16 Portable Generators $1,000,000
2 16 Permanent Generators $2,500,000
Total $3,500,000
As shown in the above table, the original request asked for 16 portable generators and 16 permanent
generators. Due to site constrains, a decision was made to replace two permanent generators with two
portable generators. 18 portable generators have been procured, received and are operationally ready for
emergency power outages. The portable cost was approximately $1,050,000, leaving $2,450,000 for the
14 permanent sites in Phase 2.
Phase Description Budget
1 18 Portable Generators $1,050,000
2 14 Permanent Generators $2,450,000
Total $3,500,000
After completing step one of the design-build process, approximately $3,600,000 is needed for Phase 2.
Compared to the two-year old estimate of $2,450,000 above, and additional $1,150,000 is required. The
design-build delivery method was used to complete the project as quickly as possible; however, with this
procurement process, preliminary conceptual planning is done prior to solicitation with engineer’s
opinion of probable cost and final design being done after award. Staff’s estimates were too low in a
market with rising engineering and construction costs.
FISCAL IMPACT: The table below provides a breakdown of the additional $1,150,000 needed to
complete this project, resulting in a total budget of $4,650,000.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office.
Ordinance No. 2018-21, the Collier County infrastructure surtax ordinance, created the Infrastructure
Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee, whose duties are as follows:
Duties. The Committee shall have the responsibility to review the expenditure of Surtax
proceeds against the ballot referendum approved by the voters and this Ordinance. The
Board may expend proceeds of the Surtax on projects not specifically stated herein or in
the attached Exhibit A, so long as those projects (1) comply with the intent of the ballot
language, (2) have a positive recommendation by this Committee, and (3) fall within the
projects and categories identified. The Committee shall not recommend alternative
projects, unless requested by the Board.
A copy of the ordinance, which contains the ballot language, is attached to this Executive Summary
for the Committee’s review. The Committee will note that Hurricane Resilience is specifically included
in Exhibit A.
In addition to the Ordinance, it is important that the Committee be comfortable that the proposed
expenditure comports with Florida Statute Sec. 212.055, which authorizes the local government
infrastructure sales surtax. That statute states, in relevant part as follows:
212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of proceeds
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be expended by
the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the case of a negotiated
joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and construct infrastructure; to acquire
any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or protection of natural resources or to prevent or
satisfy private property rights claims resulting from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of
critical state concern; to provide loans, grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners
who make energy efficiency improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local
government ordinance authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of
county-owned or municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be
closed by order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may not be used
for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a population of fewer than
75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or interest for long-term maintenance
costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in
addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before
8.B.1

Packet Pg. 860 Attachment: [Linked] Agenda and Back-up Documents - March 03, 2021 (15486 : Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee - March 03,

July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes, and for bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any
use of the proceeds or interest for purposes of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding
bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.
1. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “infrastructure” means:
a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction, reconstruction,
or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years, any related land
acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other professional and related costs
required to bring the public facilities into service. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph, the term “public
facilities” means facilities as defined in s. 163.3164 (5), and includes facilities that are necessary to carry
out governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, fire stations, general governmental office
buildings, and animal shelters, regardless of whether the facilities are owned by the local taxing authority
or another governmental entity.
A copy of the entire statute is included as back-up to this item.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed this item and believes that the request meets all the
requirements of both the Statute and the Ordinance. As an aside, only those items which are found to
satisfy the requirements of both the Ordinance and the Statute will be brought to the Committee. This
recommendation, however, is not binding on the Committee, as the Board of County Commissioners
created this Committee “to provide for citizen review of the expenditure of the Surtax proceeds by the
County… (to) serve as an ad hoc advisory and reporting body to the County.”
This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. - CMG
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management impacts associated with
this action.
RECOMMENDATION: To validate the proposed additional expenditures of $1,150,000, with a total
project cost of $4,650,000, necessary for the design, purchase, and installation of the Hurricane Resilience
- Pump Station Emergency Back-up Systems; to ensure that this project meets the requirements of F.S.
212.055, conforms to the definition of Infrastructure, and is an eligible project in line with County
Ordinance 2018-21 and the ballot language within; to make a finding that the project expenditures are a
valid use of Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding.

Project History
o On April 3rd, 2019, the Infrastructure Surtax Committee validated the
emergency backup system for thirty-two critical pump stations totaling
$3,500,000.
o Due to site constraints, 18 portable generators were procured instead of
16 in Phase 1 increasing the cost $50,000.
o Staff solicited a design-build project for Phase 2 resulting in a ready to
award bid cost of $3,600,000.
o Construction bids received with a lowest bidder selection for 14
generators, instead of 16 due to site constraints at two locations in Phase 2
increasing the cost $1,100,000.
o To tal budget deficiency to be validated is $1,150,000.

Project Objectives
o To validate the proposed additional expenditures to complete the Pump Station Emergency Back-
up systems at (32) wastewater pump stations previously approved on April 3rd, 2019.
o On April 3rd, 2019, the Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee validated the
emergency backup system for thirty-two critical pump stations totaling $3,500,000.
(16 Portable Generators and 16 Permanent Generators)
o Due to site constraints, a decision was made to replace two permanent generators with
two portable generators in Phase 1. 18 portable generators have been procured, received
and are operationally ready for emergency power outages. The cost is $1,050,000, leaving
$2,450,000 for the 14 permanent sites in Phase 2.

Project Objectives
o Subsequent to project approval, Staff solicited a design-build project for Phase 2 resulting
in a ready to award bid cost of $3,600,000.
(Original estimate: 18 Portable Generators $1,050,000; 14 Permanent Generators
$2,450,000; Total $3,500,000).
o Additionally, after completing step one of the design-build process, approximately $3,600,000 is
needed for Phase 2. Compared to the two-year old estimate of $2,450,000 above, an additional
$1,150,000 is required. The design-build delivery method was used to complete the project as
quickly as possible; however, with this procurement process, preliminary conceptual planning is
done prior to solicitation with engineer ’s opinion of probable cost and final design being done
after award. Staff ’s estimates were too low in a market with rising engineering and construction
costs.

212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of
proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the

proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the

order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may
not be used for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a
population of fewer than 75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or
interest for long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in
s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service
