THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ROAD PATROL
STUDY COMMITTEE ARE INSTITUTED.
WHEREAS, approximately 400 of the residents of Palm Beach
County live within the boundaries of one (1) of the thirty -seven

WHEREAS, 400 of the residents of Palm Beach County are now
paying for the type of police service recommended for the unin-
corporated parts of Palm Beach County through municipal levied
taxes; and

sidents of Palm Beach County to nay additional taxes to Palm
Beach County for this level of service for the residents of the
unincorporated parts of Palm Beach County; and

on behalf of its residents feel that all residents of Palm Beach
County should have the level of police service for which they are
willing to pay; and

or a County utility tax for unincorporated areas only or some
other form of taxation which shall be billed to residents outside
