§ 17-77. Findings.

(a)

Pursuant to Fla. Const. art. VIII, § 1 and F.S. §§ 125.01 and 125.66, the board of county commissioners has all powers of self-government to perform county functions and to render county services in a manner not inconsistent with general law or by special act approved by vote of the electors, and such power may be exercised by the enactment of county ordinances.

(b)

In the judgment of the board of county commissioners, it is necessary for the public health, safety and general welfare of the county and its citizens that provisions be made for the acquisition and construction of capital projects which serve a county purpose and for financing the cost of such projects.

(c)

The board of county commissioners finds that its annual "guaranteed entitlement" and "second guaranteed entitlement for counties" under F.S. ch. 218, pt. II [F.S. § 218.20 et seq.], or any successor statute, is an appropriate source of revenue to pledge for financing such projects.
