compensation pursuant to Chapter 74-198, Laws of Florida, 1974;
and
WHEREAS, subjecting cities of Florida to liability for

city taxpayers of the State of Florida to be relieved of this
additional and unfair financial burden,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Council of the City of Winter Springs,
Florida, does hereby request the Florida Legislature to immed-
iately repeal Chapter 74-198, thereby removing cities of the
State of Florida from liability for unemployment compensation
or, in the alternative, adopt legislation creating a method of
financing said unemployment compensation by utilization of State
funds.
2. That copies of this Resolution be forwarded to the
Governor of the State of Florida, the President of the Florida
Senate, the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, the
Florida League of Cities and members of the Seminole County
