A list of potential legislative items for <br />the 2004 Session has been developed by the County's Legislative Issues Task Force (LITF) <br />and is attached to this abstract. At the Board's March 4, 2004 regular meeting, it approved the <br />scheduling of a public hearing on potential legislative items for the BOCC's March 16, 2004 <br />regular meeting and on potential items/projects for federal funding assistance.. <br />The Board needs to hold the public hearing on the potential legislative items in preparation for <br />presenting its proposals to Orange County's legislative delegation for consideration during the <br />2004 General Assembly Session. The BOCC meets with the legislative delegation on March <br />29, 2004, and the General Assembly convenes on May 10, 2004. <br />After the public hearing, the Board will need to review and consider approval as necessary of <br />the attached draft resolutions and associated materials as developed by staff and the County <br />Attorney. Those materials consist of four resolutions. The first resolution with its attachment <br />relates to authorization to levy an impact tax on land development to pay a portion of the costs <br />of school capital facilities.
