Summary Explanation and Background:
On November 12, 2002, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 02-56, amending Chapter 38, creating Section 38-5, Code of Ordinances, creating a Driver Education Trust Fund to fund public and non-public, non-elementary driver education programs in Brevard County. The ordinance added a $3 surcharge to each civil traffic violation, excluding parking tickets.
On July 24, 2007, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 07-37, amending Section 3B-5, increasing the $3 surcharge to $5 for the Driver Education Safety Trust Fund to fund public and non-public, non-elementary driver education programs in Brevard County. This ordinance states that “In order to receive assistance grants from the fund, programs shall be selected on the basis of selection procedures which shall be developed by the county manager or designee.”
These procedures have been established and approved as authorized. These procedures provide that the County Manager or his designee may sign and execute Agreements with the School entities that have been approved by a Selection and Allocation Committee for specified Dori Slosberg Driver Education Safety Act funds.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed this request and has determined this to be acceptable.
