the expansion, operation, and maintenance of on -demand transportation services are now an
allowable use of surtax funds; and
WHEREAS, the Miami -Dade County ("County") Attorney's Office has opined that the Transit Surtax
Ordinance must be amended by a County -wide voter referendum to incorporate the newly adopted
State of Florida ("State") law; and

found in County Resolution No. 276-10, adopted March 2, 2010, and urges the County to amend the
Transit Surtax Ordinance to be in accordance with the State law;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
