Commissioner Gennell reported that Councilman Hagood drafted R letter on her behalf which was sent on CALNO letterhead to all city managers and mayors requesting the discussion of the Local Option Gas Tax be placed on their meeting agendas.

Commissioner GennelI said that she would attend Altamonte's meeting to discuss the Cable Channel issue and Commissioner Hagood said he would verify his schedule and could possibly attend to discuss the Local Option Gas Tax issue Commissioner Hagood, City of Oviedo, said he placed t.he Local Option Gas Tax issue on their agenda; it. was discussed and will be brought before the Commission aga.in for a vote. Commissioner Sargent, City of Longwood, said there was a discussion at their Commission meeting regarding the annexation issue, He said the real concern with the County is that the County doesn't want to drop below a certain percentage of county property, which is 50+ percent. He said the cities should want to share in the' ,oeal Option Gas Tax at the same ralios that the County is asking that areas are being shared. Commissioner Hagood said if the money has been bonded in a county, that a county can't go below that level to service their bonds If a city has bonded their revenue streams trom LOOT, then that revenue stream can't be reduced below that level to that city. Once the money is bonded, the money is secured as long as the money will be available, fifteen to twenty years. John Drago, City of Winter Springs Deputy Mayor, said that money can be bonded only until the Local Option Gas Tax is sunset. If there is a certain year in which it is inactive, the money cart be bonded only to that point, after which legislation would have to be reenacted. Iflegislation is reenacted, the cities would be able to renegotiate a distribution formula; that would be the appropriate time to approach the split situation. As far as the bonding is concerned, consideration would have to be given to other pledged revenues beside gas tax. 9.
