Honorable Carlton F. Sharpe,
City Manager
St. tetersburg, Florida.
Dear Mr. Sharpe:
I
. j

When I first was e10cted to the Legislature the countie~, municipalities
and schools were in bad financial condition. Since that time legislation
has been enacted whereby the condition of th8 counties and schools has been
greatly improved, but nothing has been done to aid or assist the municipalities.
I want to do something for them if I can, expecially the ones of our County.
The County recently aC~luired a large number of lots in each municipality by
foreclosure under the Holland tax laws. I think an analysis of this will
show that the cities have a much greater investment in e~ch of these lots 9Y
way of taxes, special assessments, et., than the C:unty; nevertheless, the
property is held by the County and will be sold subject to ~lles and regulations
promulgated under the State Law. I have been thinking that we might get some
relief if we could 1Secure..the' passage of a bill, and I believethis could
be taken care or by local legislation, whereby the County would he authoriBed
and required to deed over to t'he cities a11 lands acquired unr'ler this foreclosure
suit that W8re in the municipalities. In this way the cities could take this
property and dispose of it and I think it would be quite a help and the County
would still have all of the lands that did not lie within a municipality. O~
course the County should be reimbursed for the actual cost incurred in the fore-
closure suit.

We have 625 lots In Tarpon Springs and I believeyou ha',re something like 6500
in st. Petersburg, and I ~n sure if these were turned over to the cities they
could dispose of thern at a much better price than that which could be obtained
through a sale at the Court House door.
\
I
I
,
This is just an idea of mine and I wish you would ~ive it some thoueht and consider-
ation and discuss it with the members of your Council and the legaldepartment of
your city. Unless we can work out something like this I kpow of nothing Vie can
do that will be of much benefit to the cities. Of course there is a lot of talk
about having the Stat,e reimburse the municipalities to the tune of $8,000,000.00 ~or
revenue lost on accollnt of homestead exemption. I, of course, would like to see
:t!lis done, but realize t.hat it is just not in the cards and it will continue to
be talked after the ses8ion adjourns.
i
I do not know what the attitude of the County will be regarding a measure of this
kind, but it seems to be as if they should be wIlling to participate in any
reasonable program .vhereby our towns could be given some relief.
Xccording to our schedule we will meet with your Council on next Wednesday, and
I would appreciate your views on thl s subject. If, after a thorough d.i3cussi on,
you should come to the conclusion .tt. would be unwise we will drop it, otherwise
I would like to secure some help if we can.

several paragraphs of the proposed employees pension plan. Mr. D. J. Rape,

the Fire DepartTeent could come under the plan if they ,Qo desirecl, but if they
chose to do so, thsn their present pension plan would h.ave to be dropped. The
City Commission requested the City� Mana�er, the City Attorney, and a representativa

Dear Mr. Shax�e:
, When I f3rst was eJ.scted to tre Legislatur� t�he counties, municipalities
and schools were in bad financial conditi��n. Since that time legislation
has been en acted wherer�y tlae conditi�n o.f the counties and schools has been
greatlg improved, but r_nthing has been �one t'o�aid or assist the municipalitiss.
I want to do samething f ar them if' I can, expeciAll� the ones of our County.
'Phe County recently acquired a large number of lots in each municipality by
foreclosuro under the Holland tax laws. I think an �nalysis of this will
show that the cities have a much jreater investment in e ach of these �ots by
way'of taxes, speciz�l assassments, et., than the Cc,unty; rievertheless, the
property is held by the County and will be sold subject to rules and regulatzons
promulgated under the State Law. I have been thinitin; that we might get some
relief ii tive could }secnr�•=�he+�assaoe oi � bill, and I believethis could
be taken care of byloca.l legislation, whereby the C�r�nt� v�ould Le authoriaed
and required to deed ovsr to the citias all lands acquired un�er this foreclosure
suit that were in tne municipalities. In this way �he ci•ties could take this
property and dispose of it and I think it would be quite a Yielp and the Cou�.ty
wouid still have all of the lands that did not 1ie �r•ithin a munici:pality. 0£
course the County should be reimbursed f or th� actual cost incur•red in the fore-
closure suit.
We have 625 lots in Tarpon Sprin�;s ar_d I belteveyou have something like 6�00
in St. Petersburg, and I� sure if t�ese were turned over to the cities they
could dispose of them at a much better pric� �har� that which could be obtained
through a sale at the Ccuxt House door.
This is just an idea of mine and I wisn you would give it some thou�ht and considG�-
ation and discuas it with the member� of your Gouncil and the legal d epartment c�f
your city. IInless we can work out something like this I know of nothing we can
do that will be of much benefit to the eities. Of course triers is a lot of talk
2bout having the State reimburse the municipalities tq the tune of �8,000,000.00 for
