Lilienthal, Attorney Johnston, Lilienthal & Johnston Post Office Box 48 West Palm Beach, Florida 33402 Dear Mr. Lilienthal: We wish to thank you for submitting a copy of a resolution as adopted by the Town of Gulf Stream, in regard to their desire that State Road AlA not be widened in the area of their muni- cipality. As you are probably aware, an ever - increasing population growth in the State of Florida requires the construction of additional highways, and the upgrading of existing facilities. We can certainly agree that considerable study should be made prior to serious consideration of four- laning State Road AlA in the area of Gulf Stream. We have no plans at the present time to four -lane this section of State :toad AlA in our current Five -Year Primary Road Program. However, in a recent study prepared by the Department, the four - laning of State Road AlA throughout Palm Beach County has been recomended. This 16 -year program (1969 -1985) was presented to the last session of the Legislature, but was not adopted or funds provided. Mr. Henry F. Lilienthal Attorney July 29, lc)() j Page Two Before any definite plans are formulated for four - laning State Road AIA, please be assured that the residents of Gulf Stream, and other people along State Road AIA, will be notified of our intentions and every opportunity will be given them to express their views.

Clerk Ocean Blvd. Florida 33444 PLEASE REPLY TO: July 25, 1969 You are probably aware that the 1969 Legislature passed House Bill No. 1082, Chapter 69 -54, which requires that the County Tax Assessor assess all property for municipal tax, and that the County Tax Collector collect all property tax for the municipalities located within the county. I am enclosing herewith for your use a copy of Chapter 69 -54. You will note that Chapter 69 -54 makes the assessing by the County Tax Assessor, and the collecting by the County Tax Collector optional for 1969 and mandatory for 1970 unless the municipality is on a different fiscal year than the county, in which case it is mandatory for 1971. In regard to payment to the County Tax Assessor's office and the County Tax Collector's office by the municipalities for these services, it is the intent of your County Tax Assessor, David L. Reid, and your County Tax Collector C. E. McGehee, to only charge the municipalities enough to defray the expense to their offices for these services. Accordingly, the County Tax Assessor proposes a charge to each municipality of •5% of the total tax levied by the muni- cipality, and the County Tax Collector also proposes a like charge. This would result in a total charge to the munici- pality of 1% of the total tax levied for the entire service of assessing and collecting the property tax for the munici- pality. Mr. Richard F. Ward Page Two July 25, 1969 The foregoing proposed charge to the municipalities is for 1970 only. By the end of 1970 the Assessor's office and the Collector's office should be able to determine their actual cost for these services to the municipalities and will adjust their charges for 1971 in accordance with their cost experience. It would be appreciated if the Mayor, or other appropriate officials of your municipality, would execute the enclosed agreement and return same to the undersigned at P.O. Box 2069, West Palm Beach, Florida. LMF:ec Encl. Very truly yours, JONES, ADAMS, PAINE 6 FOSTER HARRY A. JOHNSTON HENRY F LILIENTHAL HARRY A.JOHNSTON D Mr. Richard F Deputy Clerk, P.O. Box 255 Delray Beach, Dear Buck: JOHN5TON, LILIENTHAL & JOHNSTON ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW HARVEY BUILDING WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33402 August 18, 1969 Ward Town of Gulf Stream Fla, 33444 TEMPLE 2-0571 P. O. BOX 48 I am returning to you letter from Jones, Adams, Paine & Foster, signed by Mr. Flanagan, dated July 25th, and the two copies of proposed agreement between the town, the county tax assessor and the county tax collector. I have communicated with Mr. John Evans, city attorney of West Palm Beach, and I have asked him to notify me of any meetings that take place in an effort to work out the problems between the county authorities and the municipal authorities and I will try to keep abreast of what occurs. Meanwhile it may be well to notify Mr. Flanagan that the city does not wish to execute the agreement due to the fact that the cost to the Town of Gulf Stream for assessing and collecting taxes is only a small portion of what it would cost for the county authorities to perform the same services. With kind regards, I am Sin rely your , HENRY F. LILIENTHAL HFL:vB AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this day of A.D., 1969, by and between City of Gulfstream, a municipality existing under the laws of the State of Florida, (hereinafter called "The Municipality "); and DAVID L.
