OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH ORLANDO,
FLORIDA, APPROVING PROPOSED TAX
PROGRAM OF THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF
MUNICIPALITIES TO BE INTRODUCED AT
THE 1963 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
FOR FINANCIAL RELIEF OF MUNICIPALITIES
OF FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, there has been a tremendous growth in population
in Florida in the last ten years, and with every indication of
further increased population in the next decade, and
WHEREAS, costs of local government are steadily increas-
ing, and
WHEREAS, ad valorem taxation is becoming more burdensome
due to these increases, and
WHEREAS, the Legislature has not provided any additional
new Sources of revenue for the municipalities since the 59
cigarette tax law was enacted in 1949, and
WHEREAS, the Florida League of Municipalities has requested
each municipality to acquaint the candidates for the office of
State Senator and Members of the House of Representatives with
the financial needs of their respective municipalities in order
that those elected who will comprise the 1963 Legislature will
know beforehand of these requirements of their constituent cities
and towns and thus place them in a better position to weigh and
consider any proposed remedial legislation, and
WHEREAS, it is essential to the general welfare and for the
best interests of the inhabitants of the Village of North Orlando
that financial relief for our municipal government be obtained
from the Legislature of the State of Florida, and
WHEREAS, the Executive Committee of the Florida League of
Municipalities has endorsed for adoption by the 1963 Legislature
a Legislative Program asking for an increase in the cigarette tax
of 3cent per package as a primary and basic municipal tax program
and, secondly, enabling legislation permitting counties and cities
to levy an additional 1 cent gasoline tax in those counties where
county and municipal road and street needs require such additional
finances, with the understanding that the proportion collected
within a municipality be returned to that municipality, now
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village Council of the Village of
North Orlando, Florida, that the proposed legislative tax
program of the Florida League of Municipalities is approved
and it is urged that such appropriate legislation be enacted
at the 1963 session of the Legislature for the financial
relief of the municipalities of Florida.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 8th day of May, 1962.
