If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me. Sin erely, 1111. Jack . Douglas, Jr. Assis : t City Administrator • iv/mrs • ft Legislative Agenda Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Garden IFAS Consolidated Research Center - There is a need for funding by the State of Florida to purchase the remaining 126 acres owned by the City of Apopka to complete the overall IFAS consolidation project. Property Legal Description-State law requires an agency to describe a parcel of property by metes and bounds. A more acceptable manner for describing property is based on sectional description as provided by the property appraiser's office. This law should be changed to make both descriptions acceptable. Apopka's Economic Redevelopment Project-The effect of the buyout of the muck farms located near Lake Apopka will have enormous economic impact on Central Florida, specifically the Cities of Apopka, Ocoee, and Winter Garden. It has been estimated there will be a loss of revenue of production in the farms in the amount of$62 million annually. The total of regional impact of the loss of the farms is$110 million annually. Full time equivalent agricultural job loss is 1160. Total regional employment job loss is 2272. This is a staggering hit our local economy. In order to help offset this enormous damage,we are asking Legislature to provide economic incentives and work re-training as a part of the loss of the buyout of the muck farms. In the 1997 Legislative session,there were provisions adopted to provide some funding upon the sale of the farm equipment. However, by the time these sales occur, the impact will be well upon the region. The Legislature should provide funding now and reimburse themselves from the proceeds of the equipment sales. Transportation-The state should continue to support,by any method possible,the completion of both Part A and Part C of the Western Beltway. The State has provided some right of way monies in the last two Legislative Sessions and there may be requests in the upcoming session. Additionally,the State needs to support the Apopka Bypass which becomes the Western Beltway's missing link. By constructing the Apopka Bypass to match up with the Maitland Boulevard extension, a person would be able to travel south on I-4 and exit onto the Maitland Boulevard extension. The traveler would be able to exit onto the Apopka Bypass and then connect with Part A and C of the Western Beltway. This would allow the traveler to return to 1-4 south of Disney. There is also a proposal for the City of Ocoee and the Florida Department of Transportation to construct an interconnection between the Florida Turnpike,Expressway and a reliever for Highway 50. The State should consider this a major issue considering the continued high growth area of western Orange County. Annexations - State Legislature should provide an updated method of annexations that provides a method to eliminate enclaves for the more efficient delivery of service to areas that are surrounded by cities. Taxpayer Protection Act HB729 -There is a bill which was introduced in 1997 and will rollover to the 1998 Legislative Session in Tallahassee this year called the Taxpayer Protection Act. The Taxpayer Protection Act concerns salary,wages,benefits,and pensions related to public employees. In the past,laws have been passed in the Florida Legislature that affect salary benefits and pensions of the City Employees. However,the increase in cost in those areas has also been passed along from the Legislature to the local level. Therefore, the Taxpayer Protection Act requires the Florida Legislature to conduct an Economic Impact Statement(EIS)to determine the estimated cost to all local governments. Also, the EIS should indicate if the proposed change is in compliance with Section 14,Article X of the State Constitution and options on how to finance the potential increase in cost. Telecommunication Franchise Fees -There is a proposed bill entitled 3291 that has been filed in the Florida Legislature dealing with franchise fees. This bill has been introduced on behalf of the telecommunication industry. One of the provisions in this bill would be the franchise fees for telecommunications would be eliminated. The government could only recover a cost related to actual costs in maintaining the right of way. We are opposed to this bill. Additionally,there was a bill proposed during the last session that would eliminate the 10%utility tax and implement the 7%telecommunication tax on a state wide basis and hold all those cities that previously had the 7%telecommunication tax harmless,thereby reducing the amount of revenue to cities with the 10%utility tax. In the event this legislation is adopted, we feel some provision should be added to hold all cities harmless against any reduction in revenues. It is also our position that no city would be harmed by a distribution of state collected tax for the city election to not have previously implemented the 7% telecommunication tax. Therefore, should the State impose a uniform 7% state wide telecommunication tax for the cities and counties that have not implemented the 7%tax,but have implemented the 10%utility tax, will have this distribution based on the first 12 month collection under the new 7% tax. This will allow the State to determine a fair distribution of the newly imposed State tax. 4 CITY OF APOPKA/OCOEE/WINTER GARDEN/WINDERMERE/OAKLAND JOINT PLANNING/RESERVE AREA THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of , 1998, by and between the CITY OF APOPKA, a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter"Apopka"), CITY OF OCOEE, a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter "Ocoee"), TOWN OF WINDERMERE, a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter"Windermere"), CITY OF WINTER GARDEN, a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter "Winter Garden"), and the CITY OF OAKLAND, a municipal corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida(hereinafter"Oakland").
