Approval of Consent Agenda as Amended UNFINISHED BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS BUSINESS OPERATIONS - Chief Operations Officer 40. Resolution # Referendum to Renew Tax Neutral Flexible Funding Attachment: ref_laws.pdf Attachment: Rev_Ref_Res_2012.pdf Page 8 of 12

9 Chief Operational Officer, Michele LaBute explained the reason for the initial Referendum and reviewed Resolution # which directs the Board of Collier County Commissioners to call for an election at which the electors may approve ad valorem tax millage of up to.25 mills for up to four years for operational expenses. This reflects the maximum allowable millage and time period. Approval grants the Board the flexibility to reduce or eliminate this levy during any of the four years. This millage increase for the operating budget would be offset by the School Board commitment to reduce the millage for the capital budget by the same amount. There would be no increase in taxes for the taxpayer. The purpose of this shift in funding is to assist the District in maintaining stability in the operational budget during the continuing years of economic challenges. The original referendum was passed by electors in November of 2008 with effective years from through This renewed referendum would provide continuity of funding. The time period would be from through In addition to approval of the resolution, the Board was asked to decide whether to place the referendum on the August 14th primary ballot or the November 6th general election ballot. Public speaker, Chuck Mohlke, suggested the Board get feedback from the Independent Community Referendum Oversight Committee (ICROC), which was established following passage of the initial referendum, before making a decision on which ballot to place the Resolution. Following discussion, the Board chose to revisit this issue at the January 10th board meeting. Chair Terry entertained a motion to table this issue until the January 10th board meeting, followed by a vote. The motion carried unanimously. A copy of the supporting documentation is on file in the School Board Office. Motions: The Board moved to table this issue until the January 10th School Board meeting and make decision at that time. - PASS Vote Results Motion: Julie Sprague Second: Pat Carroll Barbara Berry Page 9 of 12
