Fort Walton Beach Council agenda — 04-08-08 regular agenda — reading text

Council agreed to participate in the drafting of an interlocal agreement on public school facility planning. Mayor Anderson executed a Grant Agreement between Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners and the City of Fort Walton Beach. The Interlocal Agreement, Resolution 2007 -03, establishes a common procedure to be followed whenever new facilities are being developed within the City of Fort Walton Beach, or existing schools are proposed to close. The Department of Community Affairs ( DCA) awarded a pilot grant to the City and participating municipalities in our interlocal agreement for the purpose of the West Florida Regional Planning Council developing the data and analysis for the PSFE. The Senior Planner has participated in the ongoing development of the Public School Facilities Element through participation in Local Mitigation Strategy Committee Meetings. In February, 2008, the West Florida Regional Planning Council concluded the data and analysis for the Element. A summary of the Element includes the following: The City of Fort Walton Beach exists within the County's newly established Concurrency Service Areas ( CSA) 5 and 6. CSA' s are established on a less than district -wide basis, as depicted on Map PSFE A and described in the Concurrency Service Area Boundary Descriptions ( pages 42 thru 47) in the Data and Analysis. Each CSA boundary is delineated considering the following criteria consistent with provisions in the Interlocal Agreement: a. School locations, student transporting times, and future land uses in the area. b. Section lines, major traffic -ways, natural barriers and county boundaries. Each CSA demonstrates that: a. Adopted level of service standards will be achieved and maintained for each year of the five - year planning period; and b. Utilization of school capacity is maximized to the greatest extent possible, taking into account transportation costs, court approved desegregation plans and other relevant factors. Consistent with s. 163.3180( 13)( c) 2., F. S., changes to the CSA boundaries will be made only by amendment to the PSFE and will be exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan amendments. Any proposed change to CSA boundaries will require a demonstration by the School District that the requirements of 2( a) and ( b), above, are met. Concurrence Service Area 5 CSA 5 contains eight schools ( 5 elementary, 2 middle and 1 high school) and includes extreme South Okaloosa County, in an area that runs along the coastline from the Santa Rosa County Line ( Florosa) to the Walton County line including the City of Destin and Okaloosa Island.  3 This CSA has the highest population of the six CSAs. Public school enrollment in CSA 5 was 5,552 for 2007 -08 and is expected to increase by 79 students by year 2011 -12. ( Table 26, Data and Analysis.) Currently, there are no schools operating over 100% of permanent capacity. In addition, there is no existing or projected facility surpluses or deficiencies district wide for any school type. There are existing and projected facility surpluses and deficiencies within concurrency service areas. To meet class size contingencies and to reduce the use of relocatable facilities the following enhancements are included as funded projects in the Work Program: Shalimar Elementary —classroom additions ( permanent and relocatables) Wright Elementary- classroom additions ( relocatables) No additional land is required and supporting infrastructure is adequate to support these enhancements ( EAR). No additional ancillary facilities will be required to support the 5 -Year Facilities Work Program for projects in CSA 5. The projected 2007 -2012 LOS for Service Area 5 is 76% ( Data and Analysis; Page 43, Table 26: Concurrency Service Area 5 — 5 -Year Facilities Work Plan). Concurrence Service Area 6 Concurrency Service Area 6 includes extreme South Okaloosa County in an area that runs along the coastline from the Santa Rosa County line ( Florosa) to the Walton County line including the City of Destin and Okaloosa Island. It is surrounded by Eglin Air Force Base the intercostal waterway and the Gulf of Mexico and shares part of the coastline with the Eglin kaw Reservation. The Cities of Fort Walton Beach, Mary Esther, and the Town of Cinco Bayou are also in CSA 6 and just like CSA 5 it has 8 schools ( 5 elementary, 2 middle and 1 high school). The 2004 population of this CSA was 47, 156 persons housed in 29, 105 dwelling units. This service area is expected to increase by 8, 177 persons and 4,653 dwelling units by 2025. Okaloosa- Walton TPO) Public school enrollment in CSA 6 was 6, 420 for 2007 -08 and is expected to increase by 143 students by year 2011 -12. Currently, there is one school operating at over 100% of permanent capacity. It is Destin Middle School at 105% of capacity. There are existing and projected facility surpluses and deficiencies within concurrency service areas. To meet class size contingencies and to reduce the use of relocatable facilities the following enhancements are included as funded projects in the Work Program: Mary Esther Elementary —classroom additions ( permanent and relocatables) Florosa Elementary —classroom additions ( relocatables) No additional land is required and supporting infrastructure is adequate to support these enhancements ( County's EAR). No additional ancillary facilities will be required to support the 5 -Year Facilities Work Program for projects in CSA 6. The School District owns no vacant land in this CSA. The adopted level of services ( LOS) for school capacity is 100% permanent enrollment capacity. The projected 2007 -2012 LOS for Service Area 6 is 94% ( Data and Analysis; Page 46, Table 29 Concurrencyy )Service Area 6 — 5 -Year Facilities Work Plan).  4 The Department of Education permanent Florida Inventory of School Houses ( FISH) capacity is kw' adopted as the uniform methodology to determine the capacity of each school. School enrollment is based on the annual enrollment of each school based on actual counts reported to the Department of Education in October of each year in order to formulate the Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent ( COFTE) standards.

Ms. Abell informed that proportionate fair -share is applied when a developer has applied for a Development Order and fails concurrency. When this happens, the developer can enter into a proportionate fair -share agreement with the local government, whereby the developer agrees to fund all or a portion of a future transportation project to mitigate impacts. C  Special MPB 3- 20- 08 ORD. 1759 ( CONT) Ms. Abell continued that agreements are only to be executed for projects that can provide the required transportation concurrency ( be under construction) within the fourth and fifth years of the Adopted Five -Year Work Program, or that will be under construction within 10 years of the execution of the proportionate fair -share agreement if the transportation facility is in a long -term transportation concurrency system. The Board received clarification that any funds provided by a developer for this purpose cannot be used for any other transportation facilities; that the City has not had any objections to this ordinance from any developers; that the project would have to be built within five years in Fort Walton Beach and under construction within three; and that the City is mandated by the State to adopt this ordinance, but how we
