Appointment of City Commissioner for Annual Meetings of Elected Officials regarding Coordination of Land Use and School Facilities Planning (B)
Explanation
The City of Gainesville needs to appoint a City Commissioner to represent the City of Gainesville at the annual meetings of elected officials regarding the coordination of land use and school facilities planning. This is required by the Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning among the School Board of Alachua County (SBAC), Alachua County Board of Commissioners, and the Commission or Council of Alachua, Archer, Gainesville, Hawthorne, High Springs, LaCrosse, Micanopy, Newberry and Waldo. As described in the interlocal agreement, the meetings are an opportunity to discuss issues of mutual concern regarding coordination of land use and public school facilities planning, including population and student growth, development trends, school needs, off-site improvements, and joint use opportunities. The meetings are to be attended by one or more official representatives from the School Board, the County Commission, each municipality that is a party to the agreement, and a representative from the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
Staff recommends that the City Commission appoint one of the City Commissioners as the representative to attend the Annual Meetings of Elected Officials regarding the coordination of land use and school facilities planning.
