City/UF Partnership Discussion Update (NB)

This is a request for the City Commission to refer the discussion of the City/UF Partnership to the General Policy Committee.

Explanation

In February 2017, the City of Gainesville and the University of Florida entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) regarding Strategic Collaboration. The MOA for Strategic Collaboration proposed that the City and University enter into a cooperative endeavor, advancing their respective strategic plans in the areas where those plans identify mutually beneficial initiatives in pursuit of shared goals. The MOA provides general guidance in outlining the intention of the City and University to collaborate in new ways.  This MOA lays the ground work and precedes a more formal collaborative planning partnership between both entities, in support of Gainesville’s strategic plan framework and the University’s Strategic Development Plan Staff would like to provide an update to the General Policy Committee on the status of the collaboration to date.
