Title
A Resolution Of The City Commission Of The City Of Hollywood, Florida, Authorizing The Appropriate City Officials To Execute The Attached Third Amendment To The Interlocal Agreement With The Broward County School Board, Concerning Public School Facilities; Providing For Implementation, Conflicts And An Effective Date. (18-ILA-12)
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
Broward County School Board is requesting all municipalities to adopt the Third Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning (ILA). The amended agreement is needed to alleviate the School District’s burden of meeting and maintaining the Level of Service Standard (LOS) at each bounded elementary, middle and high school in Broward County under the era of public school concurrency. This would avoid unnecessary school boundary changes that would be driven by the requirement for the School District to meet its LOS obligations when there are available seats in portables onsite.
On February 6, 2008, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2008-024 which authorized the appropriate City Officials to execute the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement which provided for state mandated requirements of public school concurrency reflecting changes to the respective Public School Facility Planning Elements of the Comprehensive Plans. Subsequently, on May 19, 2010, the City Commission considered Resolution No. R-2010-125 which proposed a Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement which proposed to revised the level of service school capacity calculation and to change various reporting time frames, however, the City Commission did not pass this resolution, but in accordance with Section 163.3180(6), Florida Statutes, the county and other municipalities did adopt the second amendment with the required percentage and the Second Amendment became effective.
The amended agreement, which seeks to implement the Level of Service (LOS) at a higher of the two standards (100 percent of gross capacity or 110 percent of permanent capacity), based on the types of facilities (permanent and/or portable) located at each school site, among other changes. An analysis of the impact of returning to an LOS based on 110 percent permanent capacity was conducted and found that some schools were better off with one LOS than the other depending on whether there were portables on their campuses. Therefore, this amendment would allow each school to utilize the maximum available capacity onsite for development review and public school concurrency purposes.
The Staff Working Group and Oversight Committee have recommended approval of the Amended Agreement, and the County, the School Board and a number of non-exempt municipalities (as listed on Attachment C) have already approved the Amended Agreement.
On January 8, 2018, the City’s Education Advisory Committee met to review the proposed Amended Agreement and have forwarded a unanimous recommendation of approval to the City Commission.
