CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION ELEMENT FOR OKEECFIOBEE COUNTY
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
As part of Florida's 2005 growth management legislation (SB 360), all local governments in the
state must adopt school concurrency as part of their comprehensive plans by 2008. To meet the
SB 360 requirements, local governments must enter into an Interlocal Agreement(ILA)with the
applicable School Board, adopt a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE), and amend their
Capital Improvements(CIE)and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements(ICE).
Following discussions with staff from Okeechobee County (hereinafter referred to as the
"County") it is our understanding that the collection / preparation of the data required for the
Public School Facilities Element pursuant to subsection 93-5.005(2), F.A.C, shall be provided by
the Okeechobee County School District (hereinafter referred to as the "School District") and the
County.
Based on the above, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "MIA-) \Hill

Data and Anal\sis Report. a new Public School Facilities Element, and update the
Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvements Elements for the Okeechobee County
Comprehensive Plan.
APPROACH
Based on the information outlined in the project understanding, KHA has divided our approach
into several tasks.
Task I: Data Collection and Analysis
KHA will coordinate with the County and verify that the School District and the County have

Element,and Intergovernmental Coordination Element continued. residential development within an adopted level of service standard.It is needed for accountability for new residential
development.Collaborative planning to address future student growth.Regulatory oversight monitoring of residential
development for school planning. Acceptable community-wide standards for schools level of service. The
components of the program address capacity measures for schools and additions;financial feasible 5-year capital
plan; school level of service standard; concurrency service areas, residential review for school capacity; and
proportionate share mitigation.
By July 1,2008 all three boards must adopt and update an interlocal agreement.The school board must adopt the
Financially Feasible 5-Year Capital Plan.The City and County must adopt a PSFE;Update their CIE and ICE,They
must also incorporate school concurrency into the Land Development Regulations.The Interlocal Agreement was
adopted in September 2006.
Mr. DeYoung went on to explain the various aspects of what will be completed to adopt the above documents and
additional items to be addressed.Such as,the Financially Feasability Plan addresses new and additions to existing
schools; Boundary or program changes; Acknowledging the impact of a charter school or"school of choice on
enrollment;" and Mitigation Agreements. The data and analysis must address current condition's assessment;
student projections and generation rates; future school capacity projections; revenue sources and funding
mechanisms. Mr.DeYoung then shared maps of the County highlighting growth areas and future school facilities.
The data and analysis results establishes the level of service based on financially feasible capital program;identifies
concurrency service areas by a series of maps; provides basis for the PSFE; provides a method to assess the
impact of residential growth on the public school system by using the student projections and generation rates.
The PSFE will be based on the data and analysis;uses the inter-local agreement to establish Goals,Objective and
Policies; addresses emergency preparedness and includes school map series. Then the CIE will be updated
annually to include school district 5-year capital improvement plan and estimated review summary; demonstrates
financial feasibility; achieves and maintains adopted level of service, Finally the ICE will be updated to include
coordination procedures with the school district.
Another matter to adopt and address is a Regulatory Review Process.This is a residential application submitted to
the local governments;who in turn review to find the application complete.The application is then transmitted to the
school district; who in turn reviews the application and notifies the City and/or County regarding school capacity
availability.When the City and/or County completes development review processes they will do so as"approved,"
"approved with militation,"or"denied,"Mr,DeYoung went on to explain who the proportionate share militation is used
for and options that will be included for the proposed developer.

be completed by July 1, 2008. Then the school currency will be incorporated into the City and County's LDR's,
requiring a final ordinance to be adopted to amend their LDR's.
There was a brief question and answer period. Mr. DeYoung thanked everyone for working so well together noting
that Staff from the City, County and School Board are always so professional, open communication between the
three entities is uncommon in most other counties, and each of the Boards could be proud to know they have the
group of leaders that they have.

Mr. DeYoung advised that the documents presented at this joint meeting have
been submitted to Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and were sufficient. He
then advised that although the deadline date is July 1, 2008, Okeechobee County is far
ahead of schedule with regards to meeting these concurrency requirements.
County Commissioner Posey requested and received from Mr. DeYoung,
clarification whether the use of portable classrooms would be considered appropriate for
Proportionate Share Mitigation.
Mr. Arnold advised regarding Section 8, Page 4, stating his concern for
negotiation of property for purposes of meeting concurrency measures. He further
requested that the City and County use discretion when referring, in the future, to
properties under consideration for Proportionate Share Mitigation. In response to an
5
additional concern of Mr. Arnold, Mr. DeYoung advised regarding a lawsuit between
Hillsborough County and the Hillsborough County School Board over the apportionment
of the costs for concurrency projects in that jurisdiction. Mr. Arnold requested
consideration for establishing a radius measurement around a school to establish
boundary to include students not residing within an assigned development. Mr.
DeYoung addressed this question, stating the pros and cons for allowing the
establishment of charter schools as Proportionate Share Mitigation projects.
City Councilman Watford requested and received from Mr. DeYoung the
definition of "student station". There was discussion regarding the actual "cost per
student station" in Okeechobee County and reasons why a school board might consider
redistricting to meet concurrency levels of service. Councilman Watford then inquired
as to the wording in Policy 2.2 and requested that language be changed from "the city
shall" to "the city may". Mr. DeYoung stated that such verbiage could be revised.
Councilman Watford requested clarification for certain wording (page 7 section C) and
how the allocation of costs are determined for the City and the School Board. Mr.
DeYoung advised that parties involved would have to work together to determine costs
and an agreement would have to be drawn spelling out the cost allocations. Lastly,
Councilman Watford requested and received from Mr. DeYoung, clarification for certain
provisions (Page 6 Section 4.4), referencing the budget process for School Board
concurrency projects as required.
In response to certain concerns, Mr. DeYoung advised regarding the meaning of
"adjacent school service areas" and how they might/might not be a situation to be dealt
with in Okeechobee County.
County Commissioner Domer requested and received from Mr. DeYoung,
clarification for various situations involving traffic impact issues and school concurrency
that might not be compatible. There was discussion and it was determined that school
concurrency dollars can only be spent to increase student stations. Transportation
issues in the area of concurrency must be addressed ahead of time and by the
appropriate jurisdictions.

• Must be formalized with a binding tri-party agreement
Proportionate Share Mitigation
• Mitigation options may include:
— Donation of land/buildings
— Renovation of existing school facilities

— Construction of schools in advance of the time set forth in School District's
Five-Year Plan
— Financial contribution/mitigation bank

End of Verbatim Text
IV. QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION
• Clayton Williams asked whose impact fees are being mitigated under the Proportionate
Share Mitigation. Mr. DeYoung responded that it is the School District's impact fee.
• Elvie Posey asked if relocatable buildings are allowed for mitigation purposes. Mr. DeYoung
responded that they could be allowed but would have to be deemed permanent to count as
mitigation; however, the Interlocal agreement specifies that portable classrooms shall not be
accepted as mitigation.
• Joe Arnold stated three (3) concerns:
1. The requirement that the School District provide a 60-day prior written notice when
acquiring property for building a school. Mr. Arnold explained that this requirement could
hinder the School District in negotiating a contract with a seller who wishes confidentiality
until an agreement is reached. Mr. DeYoung responded that this is a statutory
requirement. Mr. Arnold asked if the written notification could designate an area (such as
a half mile radius) as opposed to an exact location. Mr. DeYoung responded that it may
be possible to do so but would require more research for him to answer.
2. Another concern is regarding a policy that requires all parties to confer to determine if a
new school is needed. Mr. Arnold explained that the level of service should be the
determining factor for the School District.
3. Charter/community schools may limit their student attendance to a particular
area/development which does not allow for a student living across the street to attend
that school. Also some charters are written that after a certain period of time, the school
comes under the control of the public school district. The School District would at that
time have to expend considerable funds to upgrade the school to its standards.
• Dowling Watford asked for a definition of "student station," and Mr. DeYoung responded that
it is the area required to accommodate a student. Elvie Posey asked for the cost of a student
station, and Joe Arnold responded that he will get it for him but that it is a cost based on
grade level. Mr. DeYoung added that the state dictates those costs by elementary, middle,
and high school levels.
• Elvie Posey asked if when a school is at 80% capacity and a new residential development
causes the school to be over capacity, can the School District move students around to other
schools to satisfy capacity requirements. Mr. DeYoung responded that the School District
could bus students from the new development to another school and/or go through a
redistricting process. He added that redistricting is one of the most difficult things a School
District ever has to do and is never popular with parents.

• Dowling Watford asked if the word "shall" on Page 2, of the City Intergovernmental
Coordination Element (ICE), could be changed to "may." Mr. DeYoung replied that it could
be changed. Mr. Watford referred to Page 7, Item C, of the City ICE and asked if this item
determines who pays for improvements, i.e. a road that may be needed for a school site.
Mr. DeYoung explained that items in the ICE are things that happen prior to concurrency and
that an agreement would be entered into for such things as infrastructure. Mr. Watford asked
for clarification on whether or not the ICE dictates that the City will pay for certain items.
Mr. DeYoung confirmed that the ICE dictates only that the parties will meet in advance to
determine what is possible for each proposed school site and who will pay for infrastructure
items.
• Dowling Watford referred to Page 6, Policy 4.4, of the City Capital Improvements Element,
saying that this policy appears to state that the City will be responsible for including items that
the School Board needs for new school sites in the City's annual budgeting process.
Mr. DeYoung responded that if it is known that a particular improvement will be needed to
support a school, the hope would be that the parties would coordinate far in advance and
include the needs in their budgets.
• Joe Arnold asked if a road is required and the funding is not available in the County or City
budgets, could the developer be required to pay for the road. Mr. DeYoung's answer was
that the developer could be required to pay for it only if it is a mitigation situation.
Mr. DeYoung added that the School Board will look for new school sites in areas where
residential growth is expected in the future. Hopefully all of the planning and coordination
between the County/City/School Board will happen early enough so as there are no surprises
for any of the three parties. The main purpose of School Concurrency is that the
planning/coordination process begins early enough so that all entities are well informed and
can plan for future growth.
• Ray Domer asked if there are any other areas that need to be taken into consideration so far
as level of service. Mr. DeYoung responded that transportation issues need to be taken into
account, i.e. natural features and impassable areas that would prevent the most direct route
to a school site. Mr. Domer asked if a developer could be required to pay for a road between
three existing schools. Ken Kenworthy responded that concurrency is only for new growth
and new school sites and that a developer could not be required to provide a road between
schools that already exist unless it can be tied to a direct impact of the development.
Mr. DeYoung thanked the City, County, and School Board for having him. The meeting concluded at
6:45 p.m.
