Approving an agreement with the South Florida Regional Planning Council to work collaboratively on the revitalization of the State Road 7/U.S. 441 Corridor.
Body
BACKGROUND: By way of the State Road 7 Partnership Agreement, the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) garners support from the municipalities along the State Road 7 corridor to work collaboratively to facilitate the aesthetic and economic revitalization of the State Road 7/U.S. 441 Corridor. Financial contributions are discretionary.

2009: $5,000
2010: $2,500
2011: $0
2012: $2,500
2013: $0
Staff is recommending approval of the Partnership Agreement and direction on the $2,500.00 financial contribution request.
