stakeholders as well as the County Commission. In the next thirty days he will be
speaking to local governments, the Florida League of Cities, and the Florida Association
of Counties. The only way to solve the problem is one in which all of the parties who
have a stake in it have a seat at the table. He wants to make sure that everyone has a part
in the drafting of the legislation and will send it to everyone for their review and input.
