FAC Webinars: Session is coming. Are you ready?
The old adage: “Hold on to your wallet. The Legislature is in town,” will ring true for everyone this Session but for local governments the sentiment couldn’t be more real. FAC will continue to fight against unfunded mandates and preemptions. But are you ready?
For the first time this year, FAC will be offering webinars on the hottest issues facing local governments in Tallahassee this session. They are the priorities chosen by you, our members, during the legislative conference.
Mark your calendars today to attend one or all – but you won’t want to miss the latest updates, intel and strategies that will go into making the 2010 legislative session a success for Florida’s counties.
Registration:
FAC Members: NO COST / FREE
Non-Member: $100 for all five seminars or $25 for an individual seminar

Juvenile Detention
Costs for juvenile detention continue to sky rocket for counties and remain unpredictable. The issues surrounding juvenile detention extend past the accounting ledger, and touch on the impact that detention has on a youth’s life. We must strive to use tax dollars efficiently and effectively and improve community resources for delinquent youth that keep the public safe. This webinar will look at the foundation of juvenile detention in Florida, local alternatives to detention that keep the public safe and save tax dollars, and our plan to ensure predictable and accurate billing for your county.

Medicaid / County Health Departments
Year after year health care rates increase and this year Tallahassee is hoping to pass those costs onto local taxpayers! You won’t want to miss this webinar as counties gear up to reinstate the rate control exemption for county health departments or fight the proposed increase to the county contribution for Medicaid nursing home services. The Medicaid increase will more than triple your current costs impacting local dollars by million! Get up to speed today to fight these unwarranted and irresponsible cost shifts.

Growth Management / Transportation
Each year the urge to change Florida’s growth management laws is irresistible and this year will be no exception. Growth Management requires a comprehensive and statewide outlook that does not come at the expense of home rule and local land use decisions. Join this webinar to hear the latest on proposed changes to the growth management bill and the outlook for this upcoming session.
In addition to growth management, transportation funding continues to be in jeopardy as counties continue to slip behind on much needed road projects. Counties must work together to maintain transportation funding at current levels while we continue to play catch up from Florida’s boom years.

TABOR
Incoming Senate President Mike Haridopolos has made TABOR his priority and it is Florida’s economy that will pay the price. TABOR sounds good – we all want responsible government spending – but it is too good to be true. TABOR will slow Florida’s economic recovery and destroy home rule completely. Join us as we discuss the outlook on TABOR for the 2010 Session and beyond!
