WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature has recently enacted
a 2~ increase in cigarette taxes; and
WHEREAS, said Legislature denies distribution of this
increase to cities which do not levy at least a 3-mill ad
valorem tax; and
WHEREAS, the Village of North Orlando be1ieves this
to be an unjust denial of distribution of taxes to those cities
which do not levy the required ad valorem tax; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Village of North orlando, in
session assembled in North Orlando, Florida, November 1, 1971,
tha t :
1. Hereby expresses its disagreement with and takes
exception to the legislation which denies those cities levying
less than 3-mills the distribution of the increase of 2~ in
cigarette taxes.
2. The Village of North Orlando believes this denial
to be an unjust deprivation of taxes collected within certain
cities and urges that this situation be remedied so that these
cities may reoeive their just share of taxes.
3. The Village of North Orlando hereby requests that
the Legislature of the State of Florida, at its next regular or
special session, amend Chapter 71-364, Laws of the State of
Florida, to include all municipalities which either levy a three
mill ad valorem tax or which have a population of 3,000 residents
or more or whim levy a 5% utility tax or more, in the share and
participation of the revenues derived from the additional 2~
cigarette tax levied by the Legislature during the 1971 session.
