BODY

WHEREAS, the Board approved the County's Fiscal Year 2009-10 Budget on September 18, 2009 and the budget includes substantial cuts in many areas; and
WHEREAS, County contract lobbyists should also share in the cuts being made to other areas within the County budget; and
WHEREAS, at the November 3, 2009 meeting, the Board passed Resolution No. 1293-09 requesting that the County�s state contract lobbyists accept a five percent reduction in remaining contract amounts, and all of the state contract lobbyists accepted such a reduction; and
WHEREAS, the County also should request that the federal contract lobbyists agree to a five percent reduction in remaining contract amounts similar to the state contract lobbyists,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board respectfully requests that the County's federal contract lobbyists, including subcontractors and lobbyists hired under work orders, accept a five percent (5 %) reduction in the remaining contract amounts over the current contract term and any renewal terms.
