AGENDA ITEM # ~'Z. - REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 19. 1999
RESOLUTION NO. 65-99 (FUNDING FOR REGIONAL PLANNING
COUNCILS)
OCTOBER 15, 1999
Governor Bush has included in his proposed budget a $2.7 million allocation in the Department of
Community Affairs' budget for regional planning councils. Resolution No. 65-99 supports the
allocation of permanent and consistent funding of regional planning councils.
Regional planning councils are required to perform numerous growth management functions,
including local technical assistance and interlocal dispute resolution. Having to compete for funding
annually is not an efficient allocation of public resources. Staff time and energy are wasted pursuing
funding when they could be devoted to support of local issues and concerns·
The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has provided planning assistance to the City through
participation in the planning charrette and preparation of the redevelopment plan for the North
Federal Highway area. The Planning Department recognizes the valuable services provided by the
regional planning councils and recommends support of the resolution.
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 65-99 supporting permanent and consistent funding for
regional planning councils.

Dear Representati~,,e Andrews:
Here in Palm Beach County we have found the work of our local regional
plarming com~cil to be invaluable to our fast growing region. However~ an
adequate and stable source of funding is necessary to ensure that councils
across the state can continue to meet the needs of the communities they
serve. We understand the Oovemor w-ill be requesting $2.7 million in the
Department of Community Affairs' budget for regional planning councils.
Our Board supports full fimding of the Governor's request. Enclosed is a
recently passed Resolution stating our support for this a/location.
So many of the issues we deal with as a County goverrmaent are regional in
nature and difficult to address without the forum provided by a regional
planning council. Plarming cmmcils provide assistance for every~b_ing from
redevelopment to emergency preparedness, as well as resolving difficult
interlocal disputes. We appreciate your support for fi_ill funding of the
regional planmng councils.
Sincerely,
Maude Ford Lee
