REGULAR AGENDA A. COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. Resolution - Establishing the Infrastructure Surtax Oversight Committee The County Attorney, Dan McIntyre, presented this item. On April 3, 2018, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 18-004 to impose a voter approved half percent (.5%) local government infrastructure surtax to be utilized by the County and municipalities within St. Lucie County for the financing, planning, construction, reconstructing, renovating and improving of needed infrastructure. On November 6, 2018, a referendum on the surtax was approved by St. Lucie County voters. St. Lucie County and its municipalities committed to establishing a citizens' oversight committee to routinely review projects funded by the infrastructure surtax that will issue reports to the County to insure transparency and to provide the citizens of the County with the assurance that funds are being spent in the manner approved by the voters. This resolution will establish the County's Infrastructure Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee. Staff recommended that the Board approve the draft resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the draft resolution. The County Attorney went over the key components of the committee as drafted in the resolution. Also, the County Administrator, Howard Tipton, provided details on the role the committee will serve and explained the beginning steps of the surtax process. The Board had a discussion and were in agreement that the committee should consist of seven (7) members and meet quarterly. There was also a discussion on the section that addresses the municipalities. Commissioner Hutchinson felt that section should be stricken in its entirety. Commissioner Dzadovsky suggested it be amended to only 6 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 27, 2018 9:00 AM include the Villages, should they wish to be included.
