SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Request to Approve a Resolution Containing Potential Referendum Language to Permit OPPAGA to Begin Audit Process at No Cost to District (Revised) (Additional Attachment)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

According to the newly enacted Chapter 2018-118, Laws of Florida, the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) must conduct an audit before any referendum to adopt a new discretionary sales surtax.  This audit must be completed at least 60 days before a referendum is held.

This non-binding resolution will allow the continued exploration of the sales tax referendum by starting the audit process.  The school board will later take up specifically how it will proceed with any referendum, if at all.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
None; all costs associated with the audit are borne by OPPAGA.
