<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi All<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please look at the message below from Citrus County
regarding SQG Program funding through business license surcharges and working
out agreements with municipalities within the county that have their own
business license program. I know this issue has come up several times before
but I am not sure how many of the counties have resolved it. Please "respond
to all" to this email if you have dealt with some of these issues. Thanks.

<p class=MsoPlainText>I am reading the FDEP Guidelines for conducting the SQG
program and I have a few questions which I don't find answers to but which you
may be able to answer. As background, Citrus County already operates an
SQG program which covers the identified businesses in our county. We
receive notification of new businesses and have our funding assessments
collected through the County Tax Collector. Our tax collector's office
collects a $20 assessment for us from each identified SIC businesses which is
added to their business license tax.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>My dilemma is that within Citrus County, we have two
cities which have their own, separate licensing and tax collection
departments. At this point, they do not collect SQG assessments for our
County inspection program from any business which is located within their
incorporated city limits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Do you know how other counties facing these problems
handle this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Do other county governments choose to or have the
authority to go into the incorporated cities to do SQG inspections without
having a city resolution to adopt the SQG program?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>* Should our counties be responsible for performing SQG
inspections without receiving funding from the cities or businesses to pay for
these inspections?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Before our SWM Director holds meetings with the city
managers, I wanted to receive some insight from you and your office. I'm
sure we are not the only county facing these problems and I want to get your
input to see how others have handled this and to determine options toward how
we may proceed. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
