Amendment Four sounds nice - But at what cost? Florida’s Amendment Four, which gives tax breaks to incoming homeowners, caps corporate and non-homestead property assessment growth, and removes “recapture,” was added to the November ballot and comes with it government promises to improve the housing market and add jobs. Don’t believe the hype. Existing homeowners will see a property tax increase By providing a tax rebate to out-of-state and fi rst time home buyers, local residents will be asked to make up for up to fi ve percent of the city, county, and Local students honored for being hospital district budgets. In Lighthouse Point, property owners may see a tax increase of $30 to $50 dollars, on average, and the city’s levy represents twenty “Most Improved” by Exchange Club percent of one’s property tax bill. When considering county and hospital levies, residents may see a property tax increase of $150 per year. State legislators are violating home rule for cities and counties Cities and counties, already dealing with shrinking property tax revenue, will be forced to wrestle with smaller budgets or pass tax increases along to residents. In addition to raising property taxes, cities and counties could raise the costs of licenses, permits, and other local fees. Amendment Four extends property tax unfairness caused by Save Our Homes Save Our Homes created wide gaps between what homeowners pay in property taxes based on nothing more than the date you purchased a home.

Research was on the rise. In 2003, Pompano Beach hosted its fi rst Relay for Life and became part of the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, or ACS. The Relay event consists of a night of walking, feasting, sharing and talking about cancer. Relay has since raised more than $374 million since its inception. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the main reason for all that pink stuff going on around town. And all those pink tee shirts, police cars, newspapers and posters aren’t alone. Even the Queen of England gave her nod to bathe Buckingham Palace in pink lights to launch this year’s awareness month. Lighthouse Point Commissioner Sandy Johnson, a breast cancer survivor, lost her mother to breast cancer 40 years ago.

The designation also may be rescinded if the resource no longer retains its historical signifi cance due to permitted alterations or extensive dam- age caused by fi re or storm. The ordinance also pro- vides for a procedure to request approval to relocate or demolish a historic resource and includes a process to provide tax incentives to pre- serve a historic property. Applications for these in- centives can only be approved by the city commission. Shank said he is troubled by the tax incentives and con- cerned about administrative costs to review them. “Preserving history is what creates the character of a com- munity,” said Susan Gillis, an Oakland Park resident and consultant to historical agen- cies. She heartily endorsed the ordinance, noting it gives property owners an incentive to stay in the community and gives the city a chance to em- brace a new planning tool.
