HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The PEDC was created by Chapter 67-1365, Florida Laws 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, Florida Laws to require that the City and Escambia County jointly fund the PEDC through an annual Interlocal Agreement. For FY 2021, Escambia County has budgeted $600,000, and the City has budgeted $175,000.
The Interlocal Agreement for FY 2020 was received by Administration and inadvertently signed without taking the item to City Council for approval. To rectify this oversight, City Council is being asked to approve and ratify the FY 2020 Interlocal Agreement. Measures have been put in place to avoid this error in the future.
PRIOR ACTION:
September 23, 2020 - City Council formally adopted the FY 2021 Budget that included an appropriation of $175,000 for the PEDC.
FUNDING:
Budget: $ 175,000
Actual: $ 175,000

Funds have been appropriated in the FY 2021 Budget.
