2 IF I WERE ELECTED MAYOR,... HELPFUL INFORMATION: VOCABULARY TERMS: MUNICIPALITIES A city, town or village. Cities, towns and villages govern their jurisdiction, collect taxes, make contracts, provide services and make laws or ordinances for the health, safety and well-being of their residents. COUNTIES In Florida there are 67 counties that are headed by either three or five county commissioners. Commissioners are elected officials who make policy decisions for the county. Florida s counties are subdivisions of the state government. SCHOOL DISTRICTS Constitutionaly created local government for K-12 public education; one district per county but a separate government. TAX A percentage of money paid to the government for services such as streets, sewers, police, fire, libraries, etc. Most people don t like paying taxes, but none of the services provided by municipal government would be possible without taxes. Municipal governments in Florida collect two kinds of taxes from citizens: property tax and sales tax. PROPERTY TAX A tax paid yearly by everyone in Florida who owns property, based on the value of the property. The more the property is worth, the more tax the owner pays. SALES TAX A tax paid, as a percentage of the total bill, every time you buy a product or service. BUDGET A careful plan of expenses (money needed) and revenue (money received) of an organization, usually produced on a yearly basis. When expenses and revenue are equal, the budget is said to be balanced. ORDINANCE A law made by a city or town government. ESSAY CONTEST HOME RULE Cities and counties are allowed to enact ordinances at the local level without state blessing or without the enactment of special acts, general laws of local application. An example of this would be: If a city wished to up signs to control traffic, the city first had to ask for state permission through a special act, or general law of local application. Cities and counties might seek permission jointly, or by population category but still had to petition their legislators for these bills during each legislative session. With Home Rule, a city/village can make their own decision and put up signs when they choose. MUNICIPAL SERVICES Each municipality chooses what it will provide. The most common are water and wastewater services, parks and recreation, law enforcement, fire services, building inspection, zoning and land use, code enforcement and other utilities.
3 ESSAY CONTEST IF I WERE ELECTED MAYOR,... HELPFUL INFORMATION: Here are examples of the average day in the life of John and Jane, two middle school students, and how local governments made it all possible: JOHN S DAY: Turned on the faucet to brush my teeth.

Dog licenses are issued by the CITY (we can only have three dogs because of a CITY ordinance). We stopped at a fast food restaurant for breakfast. Fast food restaurants are licensed by the CITY and inspected by the COUNTY health department. Mom dropped me off at the bus stop.

Of the three major forms of government in the United States federal, state and local none affects citizens more directly than local government. Many city, town and village governments provide vital services including police and fire protection, streets and roads, libraries, recreation and clean water. Who are the leaders? The elected leaders of a city, town or village are the mayor and councilmembers. In Florida, councilmembers are elected directly by citizens. In some cities, towns and villages, the mayor is elected by citizens; in others, the mayor is elected by the council. How are cities, towns and villages funded? Florida cities, towns and villages depend heavily on property tax revenue. They also recieve fees from water services to your home and licenses, such as dog or bike licenses. PRIZES FIRST PLACE: The first place winner will receive a $100 gift card and have a chance to be Mayor for a Day in their city. SECOND PLACE: The second place winner will receive a $50 gift card.
