Blueprint 2000 FUNDING HISTORY
Pursuant to Section 163.01(7), Florida Statutes, Leon County, Florida, and the City of Tallahassee, Florida, created Blueprint 2000 Intergovernmental Agency to govern the project management structure for the project planning and the construction of the Blueprint 2000 projects. The Board of County Commissioners and the City Commission constitute the Board of Directors for the Blueprint 2000 Intergovernmental Agency. Staffing for this Agency is approved by the County Administrator and the City Manager. Various committees provide professional advice and serve in advisory capacities.
The City Commission appoints the City Manager, the City Treasurer-Clerk, the City Auditor, and the City Attorney. Collectively the appointed officials are responsible for all administrative aspects of the government, with most falling under the purview of the City Manager.
The Agency uses the City’s Financial System to purchase goods and maintain financial records and follows the City’s policies and procedures regarding these transactions.
As a recipient of federal, state and local assistance for some of the Blueprint 2000 projects, the City is also responsible for ensuring that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure and document compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to these programs. This internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation by management and the audit staff of the City.
A major emphasis and driving force of the sales tax extension was Blueprint 2000 & Beyond. Blueprint 2000 was developed by a group of citizens representing a broad spectrum of the community including business, environmental and neighborhood interests, called the Economic and Environmental Consensus Committee (EECC). Their guide to an effective and efficient infrastructure and natural resource management is the basis of the proposed sales tax extension with 80% of future sales tax proceeds being committed to Blueprint 2000 projects. The remaining 20% would be split 10% each to the County and the City for other high priority sales tax eligible projects.
