RESOLUTION NO. 14 - 97/98
• A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY,
FLORIDA, SUPPORTING PERMANENT AND CONSISTENT
FUNDING FOR REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS.
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Tequesta
strongly supports continuation and full funding of regional
planning councils in the State of Florida, and
WHEREAS, the Village Council recognizes the value added to
the Village of Tequesta through the work of regional
planning councils; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council recognizes that regional
planning councils are required to perform numerous growth
management, local technical assistance, interlocal dispute
resolution functions, and other important statutory duties
in support of local initiatives; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council believes that not funding
regional planning councils fully and consistently will
adversely impact the quality of future growth, development,
and interlocal relationships in South Florida as a whole;
and
WHEREAS, having to compete for funding annually out of
dwindling revenue sources is not an efficient allocation of
public resources and dedication of staff time and energy to
support renewal of annual funding, and reduces the amount of
time dedicated by regional planning councils to support
local initiatives.
