A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA,
TO ENDORSE AND SUPPORT PASSAGE OF SENATE
BILL 231 PREFILED FOR THE 1978 FLORIDA
LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WHICH BILL WOULD RE-
QUIRE THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO INCLUDE A
FUNDING MECHANISM WITH ANY LEGISLATION WHICH
DIRECTS MUNICIPALITIES TO ADMINISTER PRO-
GRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WOULD IMPOSE A BURDEN
UPON THEIR BUDGETS AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE .
WHEREAS , Article VIII of the Constitution of this state grants
to local governments broad home rule powers of local self-
government, and
WHEREAS , the viability of local government is dependent on a
fiscally responsible state government , and
WHEREAS, each year the legislature mandates programs that re-
quire local governments to either participate in new governmental
programs or increase their participation in already existing
programs, and
WHEREAS , state mandated programs force local governments to
incur added costs which fiscally strain local sources of revenue
which are often not flexible enough to absorb the burden, and
WHEREAS , state mandated programs , by substituting state priorities
for local priorities , violate the spirit and intent of the home
rule philosophy embodied in the Constitution and laws of the State
of Florida,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA:
Section 1 . That the City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida,
supports the passage of Senate Bill 231 prefiled for 1978 Legislative
