RESOLUTION #12 -01
A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY TO CALL
AN ELECTION AT WHICH THE ELECTORS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY APPROVE AD VALOREM
TAX MILLAGE OF UP TO.25 MILLS AS AUTHORIZED UNDER SECTION 1011.71, FLORIDA STATUTES FOR

WHEREAS, capital funding is adequate to meet the School District's capital needs under the
existing ad valorem taxation structure;
WHEREAS, in 2008 the voters of Collier County approved a tax neutral Referendum proposed by the
District School Board (DSBCC) of Collier County;
WHEREAS, this Referendum enabled the DSBCC to remain financially stable during the first four
years of reduced revenue because of the economic downturn by increasing the operating tax millage by
.25 mills while the DSCBB reduced the capital tax millage by .25 mills;
WHEREAS, the DSBCC continues to experience a severe shortfall in the funding provided by the
Florida Legislature for the District's operating expenses during the 2011 -2012 fiscal year,
WHEREAS, the authority granted by the voters in approving the 2008 referendum expires in

WHEREAS, the indications from the Florida Legislature are that these shortfalls in funding for the
cost of operating the School District will continue in coming years and will impact District finances;

WHEREAS, these laws permit an increase in ad valorem taxes for up to four (4) years for
operating expenses pursuant to voter referendum;
WHEREAS, pursuant to F.S. 1011.71(9) and F.S. 1011.73(2), the School District has the legal
authority to reduce ad valorem taxes assessed for capital funding in an amount equal to a referendum -
approved increase in ad valorem taxes assessed for operating expenses, thereby creating a tax neutral
millage shift;
WHEREAS, this shift in funding will not result in any additional expense to the taxpayers;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED by the District School Board of Collier County, Florida, in a
regular public meeting duly called and assembled that:
1. Pursuant to F.S. 1011.71(9) and F.S. 1011.73(2), the Board of County Commissioners is
hereby directed to call an election as part of the November 6, 2012 General Election for
the qualified electors of the District School Board of Collier County, Florida to vote on an
16K6
ad valorem millage increase for operating expenses by the School District as authorized
by Section 1011.71(6), Florida Statutes.
2. The substance of the millage referendum and the ballot title shall read:
Renewal of Tax Neutral Flexible Funding for Collier County Public Schools
Collier County School District proposes to renew the 2008 voter approved referendum to allow the
District the option to reduce the capital tax millage by .25 mills and increase the operating millage by .25
mills to maintain economic stability. This will not result in any increase to the taxpayer.
Shall the School District reduce the capital millage and increase the operating millage each by up to .25
