A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA, REQUESTING
REDUCTION OF NUMBER OF UNFUNDED FEDERAL MANDATES;
PROVIDING FOR COPIES; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
fWHEREAS, unfunded mandates on state and local governments have increased
significantly in recent years; and i
I .
WHEREAS, federal mandates require cities and towns to perform duties without j
consideration of local circumstances, costs, or capacity, and subject municipalities to
civil or criminal penalties for noncompliance; and
WHEREAS, excessive federal burdens on local governments force some
combination of higher local taxes and fees and/or reduced local services on citizens

requirements, that impose unrealistic time frames and specify procedures or facilities
where less costly alternatives might be just as effective; and ;
WHEREAS, the National League of Cities, in conjunction with other state and
local government representatives, has begun a national public education campaign to -
help citizens understand and then reduce the burden and inflexibility of unfunded
mandates, beginning with a National Unfunded Mandates Day on October 27, 1993.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA:
