Action: [City Clerk's Note: Alex David presented two (2) volumes of Support Datafor the Application to the City Clerk.] City Clerk Hines read the title and City Manager Szerlag asked Alex David of the Bell David Planning Group to explain the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. David said he would be discussing two items, the Interlocal Agreement with Miami-Dade County Schools (Item 10J), and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan concerning educational facilities, and gave a power point presentation. He said in 2003 the existing municipalities in Miami-Dade County and the School Board entered into an Interlocal Agreement, as the State was mandating better coordination between entities in every county in the State dealing with schools, sharing of information, etc. He said in 2005 the State Legislature amended the State Statutes dealing with those agreements to require even more sophisticated planning and coordination, and this is the result. He stated that 31 municipalities, the School District and the County have been working for the past two (2) years on a new agreement to incorporate certain other things. He said that like any other concurrency level of service such as water, sewer, and parks, schools will now be required and developments will be reviewed for concurrency for schools, a very big step in planning for new schools and relating those back to residential developments. He said the second thing, which is more an accounting process, there is going to be a requirement for concurrency management systems. He stated that the municipalities will forward any development proposals to the School Board for their review to make sure the schools have adequate capacity, if the development is built, and he noted that the School Board is now also obligated to provide cities information dealing with their Capital Facilities Plan which is a multi-billion dollar work program. Planner Alex David said that there is also a requirement that the School Board add enough capacity by the fifth year in their work program to meet the demands of new students. He said there are also items such as mitigation, if concurrency cannot be met in this school or district, there are opportunities to look around municipalities to see what is available in other schools, 3
