Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: The Honorable City Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Mayor Norman S. Edelcup <br /> <br />DATE: November 8, 2010 <br /> <br />RE: Expressing Support for the Cities of Miami Gardens, Doral and Cutler Bay. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />This Resolution is presented for your consideration. <br /> <br />Reasons: <br /> <br />In 2002 Miami-Dade County voters approved the People's Transportation Plan ("PTP") and a <br />half cent surtax to be used for the enhancement of the transit and transportation in Miami-Dade <br />County. <br /> <br />At the time of the approval of the surtax, the Cities and Miami-Dade County had agreed on a <br />20/80 split regarding the revenues from the surtax. Simply put, all the Cities in existence prior to <br />the approval of the surtax would share 20% of the revenues whereas the County would keep <br />80%. <br /> <br />The County is now seeking to change the revenue sharing formula to the detriment of existing <br />municipalities. As such, I am asking the City Commission to approve this Resolution, which <br />urges the County to provide revenues to the new municipalities from the 80% share received by <br />the County. <br />
