Why don’t we just add “County and municipalities” to the sentence. in this regard, each of the municipalities and the County have the option to ask for a recalculation anytime during the ten-year period of the agreement. I’ve copied Mr. Dowd with this reply in the event he has suggestions otherwise.

Wouldn’t it be better if we just added the County to the reopener statement? Thanks, Michael D. Beedie, P.E.

From: John Dowd Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 4:48 PM To: John Hofstad Subject: RE: Interlocal Agreement Six Cents Local Option Gas Tax Amend Thru 2023 Calendar Year.docx John: I revised it to only apply to local option gas taxes required to be shared with municipalities. I also put in the provision that the County could recalculate prior to the expiration of ten years. Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Thanks, John From: John Hofstad Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 3:19 PM To: John Dowd Subject: RE: Interlocal Agreement Six Cents Local Option Gas Tax Amend Thru 2023 Calendar Year.docx Can you provide a suggested language change to make the document legally sufficient? Michael is trying to get a draft together to share with the municipalities and would like to capture both the first local option and second local option in one document. We specified ten years, but the language reflects a “reopener” whereby we could review and redefine the split any time during the ten-year period. | believe we would prefer a ten-year agreement, but the cities’ preference is to be able to review the funding distribution in lesser intervals if needed.

We could make it applicable to ail local option gas taxes that are required to be shared with the municipalities. We've got to be careful with that 9" cent. Do we want to make this agreement valid for ten years. | thought it was a bridge until we could accurately calculate the transportation expenditures.

Other than that, looks good to me. Thanks, jh Please Note: Florida has a very broad public records law.
