Title
Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning (B)

The purpose of this item is to update the City Commission and the general public on the required school concurrency-related Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning, and for the City Commission to approve the updated agreement by resolution for submission to the Department of Community Affairs.

Explanation
The Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning that was adopted in November 2003 by the School Board of Alachua County, the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, the Cities of Gainesville, Alachua, Archer, Hawthorne, High Springs, Newberry, and Waldo, and the Towns of LaCrosse and Micanopy established a framework for better coordination of local government and school facilities planning programs. The current agreement was not construed to require school concurrency. In 2005, Florida Statutes were amended to require that all local governments and school boards adopt school concurrency no later than December 1, 2008. By July 1, 2008, local governments in Alachua County must adopt a Public School Facility Element and make other school concurrency related comprehensive plan amendments. Also required by the 2005 statutory changes are revisions to the interlocal agreements for public school facility planning.

The interlocal agreements must be updated to include provisions on school concurrency implementation, public schools facilities elements, public schools capital facility programs, level of service standards, geographic application; and proportionate share mitigation. A staff working group of the School Board, local governments including Gainesville, and the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council has been meeting since the fall of 2005, and has prepared the draft update of the Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning. The working group has made presentations on the updated agreement at the Elected Officials meetings ...
