§ 17-157. Findings.

(a)

Pursuant to Fla. Const. art. VIII, § 1 and F.S. § 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 special act approved by vote of the electors, and such power may be exercised by the enactment of county ordinances and resolutions.

(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, for financing the cost of such projects, and for the refunding of obligations of the county.

(c)

The board of county commissioners finds that the portion of the local government half-cent sales tax received by it pursuant to F.S. ch. 218, pt. VI [F.S. § 218.60 et seq.] is an appropriate source of revenue to pledge for financing such projects and refundings.
