PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2010, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2013, FOR THE CONTINUED

WHEREAS, in July 1992, the State of Florida enacted the William E. Sadowski Affordable
Housing Act ("Sadowski Act"), which provides for the allocation of a portion of new and existing
documentary stamp taxes on deeds of real estate transactions to local governments, for the
development and maintenance of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the Sadowski Act provided a dedicated revenue source for affordable housing, and
created the State Housing Initiative Partnership ("SHIP") Program; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 420.9072(2)a of Florida Statutes, a county, or eligible
municipality, must submit to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation its Local Housing Assistance
Plan ("LHAP"), describing the local housing assistance strategies to be eligible to receive funds under
the program; and
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2013, pursuant to Resolution No. 13-0448, the City Commission

WHEREAS, the 2010-2013 LHAP also needs to be amended to reflect the change in the subsidy
amount so that funds from those years can still be used for the new subsidy amount; and
