Summary Scott Koons from the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council will be in attendance to speak on the proposed amendment to the interlocal agreement creating the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
Senate Bill 1216 (Chapter 2015-30, Laws of Florida) recently enacted by the Legislature dissolved the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council and assigned Levy County and Marion County to the north central Florida region. The North Central Florida Regional Planning Council was created by an interlocal agreement pursuant to Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, as amended, entered into by counties and municipalities located in the north central Florida region. In order to add Levy County and Marion County to the membership of the Council, the existing member local governments need to amend the interlocal agreement.
On September 24, 2015, the Council voted to recommend several amendments to the interlocal agreement to the member local governments. These amendments address geographic area, governance structure, additional representatives and dues credit.
In addition, the Council voted to recommend to the member local governments several administrative amendments and technical amendments such as statutory and administrative code citations, and aligning the powers and duties of the Council to conform to the powers and duties as listed in Chapter 186, Florida Statutes, as amended. |
