Councilman Marks moved that we adopt a Resolution to the
Palm Beach County Municipal League supporting them in
their endeavors and their investigation into this matter,
and if they come up with the fact that there is in fact
dual taxation, that then we will support them in any

find evidence that the County is not taxing and budgeting
their revenues properly, that we will support the Municipal
League in action to correct this. The motion was seconded
