18  ARTICLE IX - STATE-SHARED REVENUES AND LOCAL OPTION GAS TAXES

19         Section 9.01  City Participation in State-Shared

20  Revenues Programs and Local Option Gas Taxes.--

21         (1)  It is recognized that the services provided by

22  independent districts within municipal boundaries provide

23  essential services which would customarily be provided by

24  municipal government.  It is therefore declared that the City

25  of Marco Island shall be eligible to participate in

26  revenue-sharing beyond the minimum entitlement in any fiscal

27  year, provided that the city and all independent special

28  districts created under special law, combined, levy ad valorem

29  taxes in amounts as required by subsection 218.23, Florida

30  Statutes.

31         (2)  State-shared revenues.--The City of Marco Island

                                  1

    Bill No. SB 2484

    Amendment No.    





  1  shall be entitled to participate in all shared revenue

  2  programs of the State of Florida effective immediately on the

  3  date of incorporation.  The provisions of subsection

  4  218.23(1), Florida Statutes, are waived for the purpose of

  5  eligibility to receive revenue-sharing funds from the date of

  6  incorporation through the state fiscal year 1997-1998.  For

  7  purposes of meeting provisions of subsection 218.23(1),

  8  Florida Statutes, relating to ad valorem taxation, the millage

  9  levied by special districts within the corporate limits of the

10  city may be used for an indefinite period of time.  Subsection

11  218.26(3), Florida Statutes, is waived for the 1997-1998 state

12  fiscal year, and the apportionment factors for the

13  municipalities and counties shall be recalculated pursuant to

14  section 218.245, Florida Statutes.  Initial population

15  estimates for calculating eligibility for shared revenues

16  shall be determined by the University of Florida Bureau of

17  Economic and Business Research.  If the bureau is unable to

18  provide an appropriate population estimate, the Collier County

19  Department of Community Development shall provide an

20  appropriate estimate.

21         (3)  Local Option Gas Taxes.--Notwithstanding the

22  requirements of section 336.025, Florida Statutes, to the

23  contrary, the City of Marco Island shall be entitled to

24  receive local option gas tax revenues beginning October 1,

25  1997.  Such revenues shall be distributed in accordance with

26  section 336.025, Florida Statutes.
