Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
To increase funding for Florida's 11 regional planning councils from 2.23 million to 3 million, which is an increase of $763,750. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Increased services to Florida's local governments, particularly with respect to planning and technical assistance needs, enhanced performance, heightened compliance with Chap. 186,FS and other statutory obligations/responsibilities. Local gov. are primary beneficiary since an increase will allow regional planning councils to better fulfill their statutory obligations without subsidizing activities with local reserves. The Legislature's annual appropriation to the regional planning councils is passed through the Dept. of Community Affairs. The Dept annually enters into contracts with each of the regional planning councils as a vehicle for the regional planning councils to carry out their statutorily mandated obligations and responsibilities. Pursuant to these contracts, regional planning councils are required to submit quarterly reports outlining their activities for the quarter and demonstrating compliance with the contract. Measurable outcomes are provided in these quarterly reports. |
