On January 26, 1984 we certified the need for a total of thirty-three
new judgeships for FY 1984-85. The Legislature funded seventeen
additional judgeships during the 1984 legislative session, nine circuit
court and eight county court. We have now received a total of
twenty-seven requests for FY 1985-86 and eleven requests for FY
1986-87. Twelve of the requests for FY 1985-86 are for recertification
and authorization of judgeships not authorized in the 1984 session of
the legislature.
For those circuits for which we have certified a need for new circuit
or county judges in the first year of the biennium, we have generally
not certified judges for the second year. We will reassess the needs of
those circuits and counties affected, as part of next year's certification
process.

FINDINGS
DISTRICT COURTS OF APPEAL

In 1979 the Appellate Structure Commission recommended a
standard of no more than 250 primary assignment cases for each
appellate judge. On February 23, 1984 this court adopted that standard
as part of the certification criteria and procedures of Florida Rule of
Judicial Administration 2.035, acknowledging that an appellate judge
should not be required to handle more than 250 primary case
assignments per year. In reality, each judge's case load would be three
times the number of primary assigned cases because district courts sit
in panels of three, and each judge has two secondary case assignments
for each primary assignment. All of the district courts presently exceed
this standard. In order to ensure the integrity of the appellate process,
this excessive case load should be reduced, as soon as practical, to the
250 case per judge standard.
Florida's district courts of appeal have consistently ranked high
among the country's intermediate appellate courts in filings per judge
and number of published opinions. The judges of these courts have
worked diligently to keep abreast of case loads in excess of the
recommended standard in spite of the fact that no new judgeships have
been authorized for the district courts of appeal since 1982. Further,
the courts have endeavored to improve the manner in which cases are
managed and employ procedural innovations, such as placing selected
cases on a fast track and reducing briefing requirements. The district
courts of appeal have also developed plans for the use of automation to
speed word processing tasks, improve case management and enhance
legal research.
This year's certification of but four of the six judgeships certified last
year, reflects a commitment to seek and employ alternatives to the
authorization of new judgeships wherever possible. We encourage the
authorization and funding of the four judges certified. We also
encourage funding of additional legal and administrative support staff

have increased every year since the Fifth District's creation, with the
exception of a very slight reduction in 1984. Projections show a

for various of the courts in lieu of additional judgeships, as well as for
automation. These resources, when collectively employed, will enable
Florida's district courts of appeal to better manage what is clearly
among the largest case loads in the country.
First Appellate District. The First District, which currently has
twelve judges, has not requested any additional judges this year. To
achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1985, the First
District would need one additional judge. The First District, however,
has expressed administrative concerns about expanding beyond its
current membership. Additionally, the filings in the First District have
leveled off over the last few years. Accordingly, we are not certifying
the need for a judgeship this year.
However, the First District Court of Appeal has undertaken a major
office automation project that will enhance its word processing, case
management and legal research capabilities. The systems being
developed are to serve as prototypes for the other four district courts of
appeal. Therefore, we ask the continued support of the Legislature for
this effort.
Second Appellate District. The Second District currently has ten
judges, and the need for two additional judges was certified in 1984.
We certify the need for one additional judgeship for FY 1985-86. The
general leveling off in appellate filings and a 1984 filing rate slightly
below the 1982 high realized by the court, while not diminishing the
potential cost effectiveness of adding two judges, makes consideration
and funding of alternatives to one of the requested judgeships viable.
The Second District currently has the fewest number of support staff
per judge of the five district courts. Its work is further complicated by
the difficulties of maintaining collegiality and timely disposing of
matters, with judges assigned to two locations. The court had 283
filings per judge and produced 259 dispositions per judge in 1984. We
find these factors plus an increase in filings of 198 cases, from 1983 to
1984, to justify the need for the one additional judgeship which is
certified. In lieu of certification of the need for a second judgeship, we
recommend funding of two senior law clerk positions and the
administrative support staff for the Clerk's office, requested by the
Second District Court of Appeal in its FY 1985-86 budget request.
Third Appellate District. The Third District currently has nine
judges, and the need for one additional judge in FY 1985-86 is certified.
The Third District has, for the past two years, had the highest ratio
of filings and dispositions per judge. The court had 345 filings per
judge and produced 351 dispositions per judge in 1984. In order to
achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1984, a total of
almost four additional judges would be required, rather than just the
one requested and presently certified. The Third District has not
requested the additional judges because of space limitations. When
additional space is provided, the already existing needs of the Third
District will justify the certification of additional judges in order to
reduce its filings per judge, presently the highest in the state, to a
more acceptable standard.
Fourth Appellate District. The Fourth District has nine judges, and
the need for one additional judge in FY 1985-86 is certified. The court
had 309 filings per judge and produced 318 dispositions per judge. The
Fourth District continues to have the largest number of pending cases
of the five district courts of appeal. Filings exceeded dispositions in
1982 and 1983.
The developing backlog is a function of an unusually high percent-
age of civil cases, which are generally more complex. Many involve
appeals from trial court judgments in cases classified as complex
litigation. This has resulted in the Court granting oral argument in
fewer that 50 percent of the cases and issuing more PCA opinions.
In order to fully achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard
in 1985, the two additional judges certified in 1984 would be required
in the Fourth District. At this time, however, we certify only the one
additional judge and request that funding be provided for two senior
law clerks in FY 1985-86, in lieu of the second.
Fifth Appellate District. The Fifth District has had six judges since
its creation in 1979, and the need for one additional judge in FY
1985-86 is certified. This is a recertification of a need that has existed
for the past two years and continues to exist.
The Fifth District continues to have the highest ratio of population
per judge of any district and a high attorney per judge ratio. Filings

continued growth trend. The Fifth District currently has the second
highest number of cases pending per judge of the five district courts of
appeal. The court had 314 filings per judge and produced 332
dispositions per judge in 1984.
In order to fully achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard
in 1985, two additional judgeships would be required, but we certify
only the one requested at this time, requesting that funds be provided
for two additional senior law clerks in lieu of a second judge.
CIRCUIT AND COUNTY COURTS
At the trial court level, case filing statistics are not as significant in
relation to other criteria and factors as they are at the appellate level.
Geographic size, attorneys per judge, the presence of nonlawyer county
judges, the extent to which county judges are utilized in circuit court,
the location of state institutions within the circuit, the availability of
retired judges and masters, resident and transient population, and case
complexity are all considered in evaluating the need for additional
trial court judgeships. Thus, while a standard of not more than 250
primary case assignments has been developed for the district courts, no
similar standard can be applied at the trial court level. A case load
standard at the trial level that ignores variations among the circuits
would not be a correct measure of the need for additional judges.
Case load information on the trial courts, available at the state level,
is derived through the Summary Reporting System (SRS), which was
implemented in 1977. SRS requires the commitment of only limited
state resources. The clerks of the circuit courts provide monthly
tabulations of case filing and disposition statistics to the State Courts
Administrator's Office. While regular reviews of up to one third of the
counties annually indicate substantial compliance by the clerks with
reporting guidelines, it is recognized that improved measures of
judicial workload are needed. In its 1984 certification order, we
encouraged judges, clerks and court support personnel to work with the
Office of the State Courts Administrator to study and recommend
improved means of assessing the need for additional judges. A broadly
representative group called the Court Statistics and Workload Com-
mittee was subsequently charged with that task by then Chief Justice
James E. Alderman. The Committee filed a report in November of
1984, recommending substantial changes in the Summary Reporting
System. The report also recommended the collection of data on active
pending case loads and the establishment of audit trails for data
reported to the state level. Other suggestions of the committee
included: application of the results of a delphi exercise, designed to
measure variations in the complexity of different types of cases, to the
certification process; development of time standards for case process-
ing; and improvement of management information available to judges.
On February 7, 1985, we endorsed the recommendations of the Court
Statistics and Workload Committee and directed the Office of the State
Courts Administrator to work further with the Committee toward
their implementation. Once in place, the proposed changes should yield
improved data for use in determining the need for new judgeships.
A number of factors have generally influenced case loads in Florida's
trial courts over the past year. Two statutes passed by the 1984
Legislature have resulted in measurable increases in judicial work-
load. The domestic violence and child support enforcement statutes,
while they reflect critically needed changes in Florida law, have
significantly increased hearing time. Florida's DUI law continues to
have the effect of increasing trials. Also, judges report that trials are
becoming longer, largely as a function of an increasing motions
practice in most jurisdictions.
The trial courts have responded to workload pressures in a number
of ways. Dispute resolution alternatives are employed in most courts
for selected types of cases. Citizen dispute settlement, juvenile
arbitration, mediation and conciliation in family cases, and the use of
general or special masters, are all relied upon more frequently.
Procedural innovations such as the use of uniform motions calendars,
improved judicial control of cases, strict continuance policies, and
regular review of pending cases, have also been used extensively. In
sum, Florida's trial judiciary is identifying and effectively employing
alternatives to establishment of new judgeships in many areas of the
state.

Still there remains a need for new judgeships at the trial level. The
primary considerations prompting our certification of need for the
respective judicial circuits are as follows:

Fourth Judicial Circuit (Clay, Duval and Nassau Counties). There
are currently twenty-four circuit and fourteen county court judges in
the Fourth Circuit. The need for one additional circuit judgeship was
certified in each of the last two years. We recertify that need for FY
1985-86.
The Fourth Circuit has not received a new judgeship since 1980 and
has received only three additional circuit judgeships since adoption of
article V in 1972. Three county court judges are nonlawyers and,
therefore, cannot assist in circuit jurisdiction. Further, the Fourth
Circuit realized an 18 percent increase in filings in 1984.
Fifth Judicial Circuit (Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion and Sumter
Counties). The Fifth Circuit currently has eleven circuit and seven
county court judges. We certify the need for an additional circuit judge
in the second year of the biennium.
In spite of having received a new circuit judge in 1984, the Fifth
Circuit is ranked second in the ratio of filings and dispositions per
judge and first in the ratio of population per judge. It is projected to
experience a very large growth in population through 1985. It is also
ranked third in combined factors, including attorneys and trials per
judge. Three of its seven county court judges cannot assist on the
circuit bench, as they are nonlawyer judges. No retired judges reside in
the Fifth Circuit. Additionally, the circuit covers a geographic area of
4,160 square miles and has five state correctional institutions located
within its boundaries. Cross assignment of one judge to help another,
when his or her calendar clears, is difficult because of distance.
Sixth Judicial Circuit (Pasco and Pinellas Counties). The Sixth
Circuit currently has twenty-nine circuit and fourteen county court
judges, three of whom are in Pasco County. The need for one additional
county court judge for Pinellas County was certified in 1984, and we
recertify that need for FY 1985-86. In addition, we certify the need for
one circuit judge in FY 1985-86.
In 1984 Pinellas County ranked sixth in county court filings per
judge and fifth in dispositions per judge. The county continues to
realize tremendous growth and is ranked tenth in population per
judge. The county court operates in four locations. Travel between
these locations has become increasingly time consuming, making the
sharing of judicial resources difficult. The last new county court
judgeship was created in Pinellas County in 1979, and that was the
only new county judgeship created in the circuit since 1976.
Our certification of an additional circuit judge is based on the high
ratio of population per judge, projected population growth, the large
number of attorneys in the circuit, and geographic considerations
relating to travel time within the circuit, in view of the five primary
and two satellite courthouses. Additionally, there has been a 20
percent increase in circuit court jury trials between 1982 and 1984.
Finally, the mix of cases is generally more complex than in comparable
circuits.
Pinellas County has a high ratio of jury trials per county court judge.
Therefore, county court judges are not readily available to assist with
circuit court cases. The circuit court was required to utilize one
hundred thirty-seven retired judge days in 1984. The Sixth Circuit has
also made a strong effort to employ citizen dispute settlement, juvenile
mediation-arbitration and family mediation, to supplement and reduce
the case load burden on judges.
Seventh Judicial Circuit (Volusia, St. Johns, Flagler, and Putnam
Counties). The Seventh Judicial Circuit currently has fourteen circuit
and ten county judgeships. We certify the need for one additional
judgeship in Volusia County in FY 1985-86.
Volusia ranks among the highest in county filings per judge and has
realized a 167 percent increase in jury trials since 1982. This is, in part,
due to a major law enforcement crackdown on drunk drivers. Volusia is
ranked seventeenth in attorneys per judge. Geographical factors were
deemed significant in this certification, in as much as the county court
operates at three locations. Only one judge sits full time in Deland, where
the jail is located, yet all must travel to that location for first appearances.
Eighth Judicial Circuit (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Gilchrist, Levy,
and Union Counties). The Eighth Circuit currently has nine circuit
and nine county court judges. We certify the need for one additional
county judge in the second year of the biennium.
The circuit has experienced a 16 percent increase in filings since

1982. Filings continue to significantly exceed dispositions in spite of
Alachua County being ranked third in the state in dispositions/judge.
Eight state correctional institutions are located in the circuit, and

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSI

geographically the circuit is 100 miles long and 50 miles wide. County court
judges who are eligible to assist with circuit case load are used regularly for
that purpose, thereby reducing judicial resources in the county court.
Ninth Judicial Circuit (Orange and Osceola Counties). The Ninth
Circuit currently has nineteen circuit and twelve county court judges.
One additional circuit judgeship was certified and authorized last year.
However, we certify the need for an additional circuit judgeship in FY
1985-86. In addition, we certify the need for a county court judge in
Orange County in FY 1985-86.
There has been a significant growth in population in the Ninth
Circuit since 1975, and that trend is expected to continue. The circuit
also has a large transient and tourist population. The Ninth Circuit
ranks third in ratio of attorneys per judge and is ranked sixth in trials
per judge. A large number of cases are handled through juvenile
mediation-arbitration and civil mediation programs. Still, two hundred
and sixty-seven retired judge days were required in the circuit in 1984,
and one hundred and eighty-six days of additional compensation were
paid county judges for circuit work. The latter has placed a greater
load on other Orange County judges.
Orange County ranks high in combined filings, dispositions, trials,
attorneys, and population per judge and has not had a new county
court judge since 1979, despite significant population and tourist
increases. Orange County has the sixth highest ratio of trials per judge
among urban counties. An indepth study of judge assignments and
workloads in the Orange County court, by the Office of the State
Courts Administrator, indicated that assignment of an additional
judge to the traffic division was necessary to handle an increasing
traffic case load.
Eleventh Judicial Circuit (Dade County). The Eleventh Circuit
currently has fifty-eight circuit and thirty-three county court judges.
One circuit and one county judgeship were authorized last year. Two
circuit judgeships and one county judgeship we certified last year were
not funded. We revise that previous certification and certify the need
for one circuit and two county court judgeships in FY 1985-86.
The Eleventh ranks second in the state in ratio of attorneys per
judge. It continues to have a high tourist and transient population. In
addition, as we noted last year, the circuit has experienced a
significant resident population increase, as well as a major influx of
immigrants. The latter, coupled with an already large spanish
speaking population, has required the court to employ a large staff of
interpreters. In excess of 64,000 translations were made in 1984. The
use of interpreters has the effect of almost doubling hearing or trial
time when they are necessary.
Continued increases in the number of sworn law enforcement
personnel in the county have resulted in increases in criminal filings,
both at the circuit and county court level. The Eleventh Circuit is
ranked fifth in the state in jury trials per judge. County court judges
have been assisting on the circuit bench, with two county court judges
serving almost full-time in the circuit criminal division. A total of five
hundred seventy-three days of additional compensation were paid
county judges for circuit work in FY 1983-84 and four hundred
sixty-three retired judge days were utilized in the same year.
With high county court case loads, county judges must now attend to
their own dockets. Dade County is ranked fourth in county court
filings per judge. Traffic and criminal cases have increased signifi-
cantly. Notwithstanding the extensive use of citizen dispute settlement
and other dispute resolution alternatives, there is a need for both of
the new county judgeships certified. The authorization of one circuit
judge should allow the equivalent of at least one county court judge to
return to the county bench from his circuit court assignment.
Twelfth Judicial Circuit (DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties).
The Twelfth Circuit currently has eleven circuit and six county court
judges, with three county court judges in Sarasota County. The need
for an additional county court judgeship for Sarasota County has been
certified previously. We recertify that need for FY 1985-86.
Although the Legislature approved additional circuit judgeships for
the Twelfth Circuit in 1981 and 1982, no county court judgeship has
been approved in Sarasota County since 1976. The county court case
loads have continued to grow and presently rank near the top in ratio
of filings and dispositions per judge. Circuit court judges cannot assist

regularly in county court due to the ever-increasing circuit court case
load. Sarasota County is ranked fourth in ratio of population per judge,
and third in number of attorneys per judge.

April 2, 1985

Eighteenth Judicial Circuit (Brevard and Seminole Counties). The
Eighteenth Circuit currently has fourteen circuit and nine county
court judges. We certify the need for one additional county judge in
Brevard County in FY 1985-86 and one additional circuit judge in the
second year of the biennium.

OF REPRESENTATIVES 5

We certify the need for one additional county judgeship in Manatee
County in the second year of the biennium. At fourteenth in both
filings and dispositions per judge, Manatee County ranks relatively
high in the state. It also ranks fourth in the state in jury trials per
judge. Like its sister counties, it has realized a significant increase in
population and now ranks second in population per judge. It is ranked
thirteenth in attorneys per judge.
Fourteenth Judicial Circuit (Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson
and Washington Counties). The Fourteenth Circuit currently has five
circuit judgeships and eight county judgeships, three of which are in
Bay County. The Court certifies the need for one additional circuit
judgeship in FY 1985-86.
The Fourteenth Circuit ranks number one in the state in filings and
jury trials per circuit judge. It ranks seventh in dispositions per judge
and third in population per judge. The Court has been precluded from
utilizing county judges to help with the increasing case load in circuit
court because five of the eight county judges in the circuit are
nonlawyers. Only thirty-five days of additional compensation were
paid for county judges to sit in circuit jurisdiction in FY 1983-84.
Fifty-five retired judge days were paid in FY 1983-84. However, the
retired judge who served elected not to bill for in excess of one hundred
additional days.
The sharing of judicial resources across counties is difficult because
travel between the various court locations in the circuit requires a
considerable amount of time. Geographical factors, the inability to use
the nonlawyer county judges and increasing case loads justify at least
one additional circuit judgeship.
Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County). The Fifteenth
Circuit currently has twenty-two circuit and eleven county court
judges. The need for two additional county court judgeships was
certified last year, and the Legislature authorized one of those
positions. We recertify the need for the second county judgeship and
additionally certify the need for one circuit judge.
The circuit continues to realize significant increases in resident
population and has a large tourist population. Projections for 1985 are
for a 50 percent increase over the 1975 population. The circuit ranks
fifth in combined factors of filings, dispositions, trials, attorneys, and
population per circuit judge. The circuit court has been highly
dependent on the use of retired judges (one hundred eighty-three days
paid in FY 83-84) and on county judges to sit in circuit divisions (one
hundred forty days of additional compensation paid in FY 83-84). The
cases that the circuit court must hear are generally more complex than
the mix of cases of other circuits. The need for the additional circuit
judge exists in spite of a greater reliance on dispute resolution
alternatives (masters and mediation for domestic relations cases) and
procedural innovations such as a uniform motions calendar.
There remains a need for at least one additional county court judge.
Palm Beach County ranks third in county court filings per judge,
fourth in dispositions per judge and first in combined overall ratios.
Palm Beach County also ranks first among the urban counties in ratio
of trials per county judge.
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit (Broward County). The Seventeenth
Circuit currently has forty-one circuit and nineteen county court
judges. The need for two additional county court judges was certified
last year and both were authorized. We certify the need for one
additional county judgeship in FY 1985-86.
Broward County judges are not generally available to assist in
circuit court work. Three hundred ninety-eight retired judge days were
used in the circuit in FY 1983-84. Broward County ranks second in
overall combined ratios of filings, dispositions, attorneys, trials and
population per county judge. Broward County ranks number one in
total filings per judge and supplemental filings per judge. The county
court has used dispute resolution alternatives extensively, handling
approximately 1,000 cases per year through its citizen dispute
settlement program. The need for authorization of a new county judge
remains in spite of reliance on this program and employment of other
measures designed to improve utilization of the existing judges.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

At sixteenth, Brevard County ranks relatively high in filings per
judge. It ranks fifth in jury trials per judge. Geographical factors are
significant in this certification in that the court operates out of three
locations. It is difficult and time consuming for judges to travel
between those locations. County judges have not been available to
assist in circuit court. Two hundred seventy-five retired judge days
were paid in FY 1983-84, yet no days of additional compensation for
county judges were paid in that same year. A recent study of workload
distribution for the county court, conducted by the Office of the State
Courts Administrator, suggests the need for an additional judge to be
assigned to the central portion of the county.
The Eighteenth Circuit, while realizing a decline in number of
circuit jury trials over the past two years, is still ranked second in jury
trials per judge. It ranks fifth in population per judge. The same
geographical factors which inhibit the sharing of workload in the
county court affect the circuit court as well. These factors coupled with
the requirement for two hundred seventy-five retired judge days in FY
1983-84 support the request for the additional circuit judge in the
second year.
Nineteenth Judicial Circuit (Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, and
St. Lucie Counties). The Nineteenth Circuit currently has eight circuit
and seven county court judgeships. The need for one additional circuit
judgeship was certified in each of the past two years. We recertify that
need for FY 1985-86.
The Nineteenth Circuit is ranked third in both filings and disposi-
tions per judge. It has realized a significant population increase which
is expected to continue. Due to the size of the circuit (2,423 square
miles), travel time is considerable. One of the county court judges is a
nonlawyer. Nonetheless, the circuit has been heavily reliant on county
judges to assist in handling circuit cases. Two hundred forty-six days of
additional compensation were paid to county judges in FY 1983-84.
Also, one hundred thirteen retired judge days were required in the
circuit during the last fiscal year. Part of the problem facing circuit
judges in the Nineteenth Circuit is attributable to the increasing
complexity of drug related cases and an increase in motions practice.
Twentieth Judicial Circuit (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and
Lee Counties). The Twentieth Circuit currently has twelve circuit and
nine county court judges. The need for one additional circuit judgeship
is certified in the second year of the biennium.
The Twentieth Circuit ranks second in population per judge, and
fourth in the ratio of trials per judge. It ranks second in the combined
factors of filings, dispositions, population and attorneys per judge. It
ranks relatively high in filings and dispositions per judge, at sixth and
eighth respectively. Three of the county court judges are nonlawyers
and cannot assist on the circuit bench. The circuit covers a large
geographic area. This has made it difficult for judges in one location to
backup those in another. Further, the circuit court has been heavily
reliant on county judges, paying one hundred eight days of additional
compensation in FY 1983-84. One hundred twenty-six retired judge
days were also used in the circuit in that fiscal year.
CERTIFICATION
Accordingly, pursuant to article V, section 9, Florida Constitution,
we certify the need for four additional district court of appeal
judgeships, seven additional circuit court judgeships, and nine addi-
tional county court judgeships for fiscal year 1985-86. These judicial
officers are necessary for the proper administration of justice, and we
recommend they be made permanent and funded by the state. These
new judgeships should become effective August 1, 1985.
We certify the need for three circuit and two county judgeships in
the second year of the biennium. However, the Court will reassess the
needs of all circuits next year and may certify the need for additional
judges, if warranted.

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Leaders of the Florida Legislature,
Members, honored guests, and fellow Floridians:
Only a few decades ago, what happened in Florida didn't matter very
much. For most of America, we were small, poor, and far away, a
peripheral peninsula.
States like Ohio and Illinois were important when fewer people lived
in Florida than live in Tallahassee today.
Today, Florida is bigger than Ohio and in two years, we will surpass

Illinois. What happens here sets trends that affect the world. With new
international significance comes new responsibility.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE

In the recent past, you have recognized that responsibility. You and
your predecessors have helped to set the national agenda for the other
49 states, by enacting laws reflecting Florida's growing greatness-
laws to reform public education and make Florida's secondary school
graduation requirements America's highest;
laws to establish America's most aggressive program to acquire
public beachfront and recreational land;
laws to boost our economy and give us America's best business
climate, under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Wayne Mixson;
laws to create and expand Community Care for the Elderly as a
model for America;
and laws such as those you passed just last December to begin to end
the cycle of child abuse and ensure that safe, affordable child care is
every Floridian's right.
You have done an outstanding job, so outstanding that I think you
deserve a pay raise.
The Florida Legislature is a tradition, from your deans, Senator
Dempsey Barron and Representative Carl Ogden, down to the newest
members of the freshman class-a group which increasingly reflects
the diversity of our state, with a growing number of women in
leadership roles, a major increase in Hispanics, and more blacks than
at any time in this century. Representative Gordon, Senator Castor, I
especially want to congratulate your colleagues for their wisdom in
selecting you as leaders of this Legislature.
The quality of life in our state today is in direct proportion to the
quality of the decisions of the men and women in this legislature. And
because of those decisions, I say today that the state of our state is
good-good, and getting better.
Word is out about our quality of life-and millions of other
Americans want to share it with us. Their desire to move here, along
with Florida's birth rate, provide us with a critical opportunity to
make a set of key decisions in this legislative session.
Our history is one of growth. No other major state has grown so
much so quickly.
In the year 1847, the Gregory family arrived in Quincy, establishing
a Florida family line which today has culminated in their great great
grandson, Senator Harry Johnston, President of the Florida Senate.
When the Gregorys moved to Quincy, there were 77,000 people living
in Florida.
In 1879, Nettie McPherson was born, also in the town of Quincy. She
was a member of another distinguished Florida family. Her grandson
is Representative James Harold Thompson, Speaker of the Florida
House of Representatives. When Nettie McPherson was born, there
were 290,000 people living in Florida.
In the 12 months between now and April 8, 1986, when we will
return for opening day again, Florida will grow by nearly 300,000
people. There will be as many new Floridians as there were Floridians
when Speaker Thompson's grandmother was a little girl. President
Johnston, Speaker Thompson, I share with you the enthusiasm of
working together for a better Florida.
It is as if, in the coming 12 months, Florida were to build another
Tampa and meet all the needs of all those new people.
And the question is not, can we accommodate them? The question is,
how to accommodate them-because they are coming, just as we came,
and the Johnston family came, and the Thompson family came.
Our growth is a source of strength, creating markets, jobs and
prosperity. But growth is also a source of stress, taxing our natural
systems and demanding new investment.
And growth has its hidden costs which, one way or another, always
must be paid. The price of growth will come due, as the consequence of
decision, or as punishment for indecision.

If we cannot agree what our future should be, we will forfeit that
future to those who can make up their minds.

April 2, 1985

thanks are also due to Representative Fred Lippman and Senator
Betty Castor for their dedication to the cause of children in Florida.
We at the state level are responsible for protecting our statewide
natural resources-our water and air, our marine heritage, and our
priceless, irreplaceable coasts. The captains of our leadership team for

Florida grows by seven hundred eighty-eight people every day. Our
school age population grew last fall by 26,588. Next fall, we expect
34,079 more than we will have this spring.
We hear a lot about deficits these days-mostly in terms of red ink
in the federal budget, which is spending $200 billion more than it
takes in every year.
Unlike the federal government, we operate state government at a
profit, not at a loss. We do not pass on to the next generation a state
deficit-not one measured in dollars.
But there are deficits of a different kind-deficits caused by the
failure to act. These deficits take ugly forms-ignorance, child abuse,
juvenile delinquency and adult crime, polluted air and water, traffic
congestion.
This deficit is the cost of inaction-and the cost of inaction is just as
real-and can be greater-than a decision to make a timely invest-
ment.
The cost of inaction is State Road 80, too narrow, too dangerous-too
lethal-a road to connect Palm Beach County and Lee County, two of
the fastest growing communities in America.
The price of procrastination is Lake Apopka, once a superb fishing
resource now turned barren and dead.
The penalty for indecision is Brandon High School in Hillsborough
County, a school on double sessions for the past 12 years.
The result of neglect is an unemployment rate of almost 40 per cent
among black teenagers.
These are deficits. We can redeem those deficits and prevent future
deficits.
Florida's state government must meet its own special responsibilities
mandated by growth. First among them is public education.
Nothing will determine our quality of life tomorrow more than the
investment we make today in education.
In this session, we will oversee the next installment of Florida's
continued march toward a national standard of excellence for our
public schools.
And in enacting our budget, we will take the fourth and fifth steps in
our five-year plan to raise our community colleges and state universi-
ties to the level of the top 12 states in America-and we will move
forward toward the goal of bringing our public schools into the upper
quartile. Leading this initiative are Representatives Tommy Hazouri
and T.K. Wetherell and Senator Curtis Peterson, and guiding the
budget process for public schools are Representative Jon Mills and
Senator Betty Castor.
Next on our agenda for growth is guarding the safety of our
citizens.
As we grow, we will never submit to the rule of crime in our
streets-we will one day triumph over the scourge of drugs-and we
will continue to punish the offender as severely as the law requires.
This year, to escalate our war on organized crime and drugs, you will
consider a Constitutional Amendment to establish a statewide prosecu-
tor. I urge its adoption. Sponsoring this major initiative to deal
effectively with organized crime and drugs are Representative Hamil-
ton Upchurch and Senator Bob Crawford.
We at the state level are responsible for providing social services,
and this year we share the challenge of providing for those who need
help within tight fiscal restraints-to respond to the need of our
youngest citizens by following through on the actions of last Decem-
ber's special session, and by expanding community care for the elderly
to accommodate 36,000 people by the end of the next biennium.
Leading us in this vital effort are Representative Elaine Gordon and
Senator Roberta Fox, who chaired the Joint Task Force on Child Care,
and Representative Ron Johnson and Senator Frank Mann. Special

these issues are Representative James Ward and Senator George
Stuart.
They will be partners with Representatives Jon Mills, Sam Bell and
Sid Martin, and Senators Pat Neal and Pat Frank, to provide
leadership for the primary issue facing this session-growth itself.
And we at the state level are responsible to maintain and expand
Florida's transportation network as our economy expands and our
population grows-needs which have grown critical this year.
A priority goal of this legislative session will be to provide adequate
funding for the transportation plans we passed in the 1983 special
legislative session. We will keep our word to the people of Florida. We
will not run up this transportation deficit.
In this session, we will also act to provide tough, cost-cutting
management in the Department of Transportation and any other steps
we must take to live up to our commitment. Leading us in this effort
will be Representative Steve Pajcic and Senator Jack Gordon.
To accomplish all these goals, we will all require a spirit of unity, in
our joint responsibility to all of Florida. Representative Dale Patchett
and Senator Dick Langley will be key leaders in our search for
responsible, constructive solutions.
Sound planning and visionary goals without the means to accom-
plish them are counter-productive. They create phantom expectations.
They only add to the accumulated deficit.
It is time to end old deficits and prevent new ones, through
intelligent planning and investment.
To provide the resources, we are going to have to face three new
realities:
1. Growth in Florida must pay for the cost of growth in Florida. The
alternatives are unacceptable. We are not going to pay for growth
through a deteriorated quality of life. We will not ignore the cost
today, because to do so would ensure significant future tax
increases. Growth must pay for growth.
2. The backlog of accumulated deficits must be brought up to date.
Getting this job done requires a partnership between state and
local government. Meeting our commitment on transportation
needs is the first installment.
3. A new partnership of government and business will move us
forward on a pathway to excellence in higher education, through
the eminent scholars program; forward in economic development
through the enlightened recommendations of the high technology
council; forward in our state parks through joint ventures with
private entrepreneurs.
To develop a strategic vision of Florida's future, we must start from
this certainty:
The pace and the quality of Florida's development will be deter-
mined by decisions made, by and large, within the private sector, based
on private economic factors.
Our new mission is to create an environment which encourages
top-quality private decisions.
To attain the goals Florida requires this year, we must:
1. Adopt a state plan to apply strategic vision to our growth.
2. Strengthen the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act,
to make certain that decisions at all levels of government reflect a
consistent and rational policy. Local decisions are generally the
best decisions, because they are made closest to the people they
affect.
3. Recast the laws governing Developments of Regional Impact, to
promote high quality development. We must make the DRI
review process clean and predictable-not so entangling and
expensive that developers pay any price to avoid it.
4. Bolster our coastal protection plans at the state and local levels.
5. Protect our rivers, our estuaries, our wetlands and our waters

from pollution-and restore those damaged recklessly in a
thoughtless past.

Make no mistake-one way or another, Florida will pay the price of
growth. Either growth will pay for growth, or we will pay through
higher taxes when we confront a crisis we could have headed off, and
our children will pay through a degradation of their lifestyle in the
future.
When I say that growth should pay for growth, I mean impact
fees-currently imposed by many of our cities and counties-which
require the first-time buyer to make a down payment on the services
growth demands.
I mean special taxing districts-currently in use around our state to
pay for recreational parks and other neighborhood improvements.
I mean user fees-such as those in the budget now before you,
charging those who use our services for the value they receive.
Let those who cause growth and those who benefit from growth pay
for their fair share of the costs they cause.
Let us rise to our best to prepare for our future together. Our goal is
not to find the lowest common denominator of acceptable adequacy.
Our goal is excellence. Let us find in our state where communities,
businesses, individuals, have already accommodated growth while
protecting the quality of life we seek for every Floridian, and done so
in the spirit of excellence.
A perfect example of the new partnership of government and
business is the American Transtech company in Jacksonville, Florida
Junior College and the Florida Department of Education.
This team, Mr. Commissioner Turlington, provided training for 750
people in state-of-the-art technique to process financial securities,
establishing a business with a total employment of more than
1,600-better training, better jobs, a better economy, and a better
Florida.
In the city of Boca Raton, growth already pays for growth. More than
$26 million in local bonds have purchased more than 2.2 miles of
public beach, adding to the vital inventory of public beach in the most
populas region of our state. But Boca's leadership is more than a
beachhead.
The city's plan for growth is among Florida's best. Boca Raton
accommodates low-income housing along with mansions, oceanfront
condominiums and apartments for student rental. Blending all levels
in a harmonious whole, Boca Raton is a living example of growth
leadership in action, alive and well in Palm Beach County.
In Fort Lauderdale, the public housing authority has received
national acclaim for creating oases of safety and decency in the heart
of high-crime, low-income neighborhoods. By leveraging government
service-police, public housing-with private investment, the author-
ity builds on the strengths of these neighborhoods.
Under the direction of a tough and creative man, Bill Lindsey, the
Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority builds public-private partnerships
which are reducing crime, creating affordable housing, strengthening
our downtown, creating jobs and consumers and building back the
basis of society.
In Tampa, the entire downtown area has been reviewed as a
development of regional impact, accomplishing two goals at once-as-
suring business that the rules for what can be built downtown are
clear, rational, known in advance-and assuring the entire Tampa Bay
area that downtown Tampa will be an intelligently planned place with
adequate traffic flow and water supply.
In Panama City, the Bay County Council on Aging provides six
months of services-meals on wheels, the senior center, adult day care,
transportation-six months of services at the same cost as ten days in a
nursing home.
And the human benefits to those who avoid the tragedy of premature
institutionalization are even more profound.
In Dade County, Miami-Dade Community College is internationally
known-not only as one of America's largest post-secondary institu-
tions-but also, as America's finest.

Miami-Dade has been declared the best community college in
America, for its leadership, its emphasis on teaching, its ability to offer

8

April 2, 1985

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

quality instruction while maintaining open admissions, and its
reputation for rewarding good teaching-all while reflecting the full
diversity of one of America's most cosmopolitan communities. Miami-
Dade Community College, and its president, Robert McCabe, are living
examples of leadership for growth.

There are individual Floridians who exemplify excellence in their
own lives, and the contributions they make to our state. One such
Floridian has been honored here today-and by honoring her, you
bring credit to this Legislature.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas moved to Florida when there were only
half a million Floridians. She is an active Senior Floridian who travels
almost constantly to advocate for Florida's future. Hers has been a
voice in the wilderness for most of her life-a voice which has helped to
preserve wilderness, and natural systems, upon which we all depend for
survival.

Her vision, and her hard work, helped to shape the Save Our
Everglades program. And she is a writer of great eloquence: Listen to
her words ...

"The miracle of the light pours over the green and brown expanse of
sawgrass and water, shining and slow-moving below, the grass and
water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades of
Florida. It is a river of grass ... "

"There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have
always been, one of the unique regions of the earth, remote, never
wholly known ..."

Marjory Stoneman Douglas wisely observes that for every impulse
toward greed, toward inertia and foolishness in us, there is a
counterforce of courage, of will, driven by our ability, slowly and
painfully, to learn, and to work together.

She is a personal example of leadership to which we all can aspire.

Finally, this Legislature itself has achieved and renewed the
distinction of being America's best. The Eagleton Institute has studied
your operations and found that the Florida Legislature is among the
finest of all our nation's political institutions. This is a distinction in
which each of you should take personal pride, and a standard by which
future Legislatures will be judged.

The goals, then, of the State Plan-creating good jobs, establishing
educational excellence, raising our per capital income, protecting our
water supply-providing growth leadership-are being achieved al-
ready, all around us.

Let us seize upon these examples of excellence. Let us emulate them
throughout our state. These are signposts on the path toward our
common goals.

These achievements prove that Florida's Comprehensive State Plan
is not utopian, but a network of highly desirable, achievable goals-not
easily reached, but achievable in the world of practical reality.

Nothing stays the same. Florida's quality of life can deteriorate, or
be improved. We will decide, and we will live with the consequences of
that decision-through the beginning of the next century.

In the past, we have indulged ourselves in the belief that there is so
much land, so much water that we can abuse them as we wish.

The truth is, we cannot.

We have begun to end that indulgence and reverse that record.

For generations, some have seen Florida as a mistress state-a place
to make money, to enjoy a fantasy life, with no commitment to a
community and no sense of living with the consequences of our action.
Within the memory of some of the people here in this chamber today,
a Florida developer printed posters to advertise "Manless land for the
landless man." Today's advertisements caution us to hurry, act now,
before the land is gone.
Along with manless land, add these to the list of the endangered-
sunsets on a quiet coastline with only nature in sight.
Tranquil lakes.
Rippling rivers, teeming with life.
Farmland to grow our food and shape our values of self-reliance and
independence.
Safe water to drink.
Homes a young family can afford.
Enough good jobs.
Schools of rising quality.
Add them all to the list of the endangered if we decide not to decide.
Our choice is stark.
Today, we join together to say that Florida is not just a place to
spend some time and make some money. Florida ..... is home-and
the future investments we plan today will shape the character of our
home tomorrow.
No plan to guide our growth can turn a profit without investment;
but investment without a plan for growth will profit no one.
Florida is not a commodity that belongs to us. Florida is a
community to which we belong. Draw this distinction and you will set
this Legislature apart.
This is the future Florida we can bring forth, together.
Nothing is inevitable. We will choose the future we want-and
whatever we choose, we will all have to live with.
This is a critical Legislature. Fifteen years from now, we will begin
another century. Ten years from now, we will celebrate the 150th
anniversary of our statehood. Five years from now, we will enter a new
decade.
Sixty days from now, you will go home to your districts and face the
people you represent. You have the opportunity to be known ...
known and remembered ... as pathfinders to a better future.
That future can be one of both growth and greatness.
It is up to us to begin.
Now is the time,
we are the people,
this is the place to decide.
Following his address, Governor Graham was escorted from the
Chamber by the Committee. The Members of the Supreme Court and
the Lieutenant Governor and Cabinet were escorted from the Chamber
by the Sergeants at Arms of the House and Senate.
On motion by Senator Jenne, the Joint Session was dissolved at
11:50 a.m. and the Senators were escorted from the Chamber by the
Senate Sergeant at Arms.
