Broward County Planning Council · Planning Council Meeting - August 29th, 2024 · 29 Aug 2024
meeting
I'm glad uh I usually come to these meetings and have very little to contribute.
podcast-host
But but we also have to keep some things in context.
podcast-host
The national average for funding of public education is thirteen thousand dollars per student.
podcast-host
In Florida we get nine.
podcast-host
So when we pay for buses, when we pay for uh uh reduced revenue sources, uh, which I think is still a good thing.
podcast-host
And again, we started that process way before this item came to the Broward Planning Council.
podcast-host
Uh so I'm proud of that.
podcast-host
Uh but but we have to also realize that we do public education in Florida on the cheap.
podcast-host
And uh uh when you start every year four thousand dollars behind the national average in education, uh don't be surprised if if uh some of the decisions we make are because we just don't have enough money uh to pay teachers and do uh uh things that go beyond kind of the very core requirements of K through twelve education.
podcast-host
Thank you very much, Chair.
podcast-host
Uh um a question, Chair, about our
podcast-host
uh comprehensive plan.
podcast-host
I appreciate the staff's uh recommendations and I also appreciate the public's view and and all the emails that came in.
podcast-host
I'm curious though, Chair, did
podcast-host
our staff or the city staff talk to the to the city or to the developer about affordable housing.
podcast-host
Uh eighty one units is below the limit, I get that.
podcast-host
And so uh I intend to vote in favor of this no matter what.
podcast-host
Uh but it's pretty close.
podcast-host
It's certainly an area where we could do affordable housing.
podcast-host
There's a lot of multifamily residential in that area.
