Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the County Resolution re: School Board of Brevard County referendum election for a four year ad valorem tax millage increase for school operations
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
Florida Statutes 1011.73(2) authorizes the School Board to "direct the county commissioners to call an election at which the electors within the school district may approve an ad valorem tax millage as authorized under Fla. Stat. 1011.71(9)". The County Commission is to verify receipt and satisfaction of the passage of a resolution calling for an ad valorem tax millage election. Upon verification that the School Board has satisfied its obligations the County Commission is to direct the Supervisor of Elections to place the ad valorem tax millage on the ballot. The County Commission is not voting on the School Board resolution, or that it supports the measure, only that the School Board has met its obligations under the law to have millage measure placed on the ballot for consideration by the electors of the school district.
