A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,
FLORIDA, FINDING THAT A PUBLIC PURPOSE EXISTS FOR
JUSTIFYING THE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC FUNDS TO
INFORM MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
RESIDENTS OF WINTER SPRINGS OF THE DETRIMENTAL
EFFECTS OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX LEGISLATION ON
THE DELIVERY OF ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES.
WHEREAS, the Legislature is considering several proposals for changing the State's
property tax system, and
WHEREAS, the proposals, as written, would have substantial detrimental impacts on
the City's financial capacity to deliver essential services such as police, fire, code enforcement,
street lighting, street and traffic signal maintenance, services to seniors and others, and
WHEREAS, these proposals would result in the reduction of services and or the
imposition of new and increased user charges which would place a disproportional burden on
senior citizens and the less fortunate.

Winter Springs, Florida finds that a public purpose exists to expend public funds to
inform and educate members of the Legislature and the residents of the City of Winter
Springs of the impacts of Legislative proposals and the ability of the City to deliver
essential municipal services to the public.
ADOPTED this the 7th day of March, 2007 By the Winter Springs City Commission
