Approve the Goals & Objectives Analysis establishing goals, objectives, and performance measures and standards for programs and activities undertaken by the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency during Fiscal Year to comply with the Florida Statute § 189.0694.
Body
Background:
During the 2024 State of Florida Legislative Session, House Bill 7013 amended Florida Statute 189.0694 as follows:
“189.0694Special districts; performance measures and standards.-
(1)Beginning October 1, 2024, or by the end of the first full fiscal year after its creation, whichever is later, each special district must establish goals and objectives for each program and activity undertaken by the district, as well as performance measures and standards to determine if the district’s goals and objectives are being achieved.
(2)By December 1 of each year thereafter, each special district must publish an annual report on the district’s website describing:
(a)The goals and objectives achieved by the district, as well as the performance measures and standards used by the district to make this determination.
(b)Any goals or objectives the district failed to achieve.”
Currently, the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (Delray Beach CRA) creates a Work Plan on an annual basis that outlines specific projects and initiatives that the Delray Beach CRA endeavors to undertake throughout the year to achieve goals and objectives that aim to resolve the “Overall Needs” stated within the Delray Beach CRA's Redevelopment Plan (Link to View Redevelopment Plan - <https://delraycra.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Community-Redevelopment-Plan.pdf>)
In compliance with the above referenced statute, the Delray Beach CRA Staff prepared the attached Goals & Objectives Analysis for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 which provides a summary of the methods which the Delray Beach CRA utilizes to address the “Overall Needs” identified in the Delray Beach CRA Plan as well provides an additional outlet to inform the public about the Delray Beach CRA’s Redevelopment Activities.
By December 1, 2025 and annually thereafter, the Delray Beach CRA will post an annual report our website as required by Fla. Stat. §189.0694.
Staff requests approval of the attached Goals & Objectives Analysis for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
