BACKGROUND:
Florida's legislators use Community Budget Issue Requests ("CBIRs") to provide an avenue for cities, counties,
non -profits, and other public entities to present funding requests for new and continuing budget issues. If
supported by the legislators, the funding requests are included in the State's budget,
JUSTIFICATION:
Receipt of CBIRs funds will leverage the CRAs' tax increment funds. A requirement of the process is that the
project request is heard before a publicly -noticed meeting of a body of elected officials. Hence, this resolution.
