Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2019-105, as presented.
Summary
On April 26, 2019, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity posted funding availability for the Community Planning Technical Assistance Grant. The Department has requested that the grant applications be received by Monday, May 13, 2019, at 11:59 p.m.
Matthew West, a planning consultant of LTG Engineering and Planning, reached out to the Town of Lady Lake in December to ask if the Town of Lady Lake would be interested in pursuing the grant funding for the Evaluation and Appraisal Review of the Comprehensive Plan. The review is due to the Department of Economic Opportunity by May 1, 2020.
At the February 18, 2019 Town Commission meeting, the Commission elected to allow LTG Engineering and Planning to apply for the grant free of any preparation fees, contingent that if the grant were awarded, LTG would be used to conduct the Evaluation and Appraisal Review for the Town of Lady Lake.
At this time, staff is requesting approval of Resolution 2019-105 as a measure to demonstrate the sincerity of the Town to utilize the grant funding for the aforesaid purpose. Should the resolution be adopted, it will accompany the grant application package upon submittal.
