HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The PEDC was created by Chapter 67-1365, Laws of Florida to promote and develop tourism and industry in Escambia County and the City of Pensacola. PEDC is governed by a nine member board consisting of representatives from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, the Pensacola City Council, the Century Town Council and the Greater Pensacola Chamber.
In 1989, House Bill 984 amended Chapter 67-1365, Laws of Florida to require that the City and Escambia County jointly fund the PEDC through an annual Interlocal Agreement. For FY 2018, Escambia County has budgeted $550,000 and the City has budgeted $150,000. Escambia County has added a provision to the FY 2018 Interlocal Agreement that states in the event the County appropriates additional funds for the Escambia County Sheriff’s FY 17/18 budget allocation that the County reserves the right to immediately terminate the Interlocal Agreement.
