Finally, the plan addresses funding. Recognizing the need for adequate funding to accomplish <br />recreation and open space objectives, the plan calls for adequate funding to pay for recreation and <br />open space needs. While the plan identifies state and federal assistance as one possible funding <br />source, it also provides for the continuation of local sources of revenues. These include imposition of <br />user fees, and consideration of forming a recreation district with taxing authority. <br />Implementation of this element, like the other elements of the plan, will require various actions by a <br />number of groups. Besides expending monies to acquire land and construct recreation improvements, <br />the county must develop regulations to address many of the plan components. In addition, the county <br />must actively pursue coordination. Because of the multi jurisdictional characteristics of the <br />recreation system, the only effective way of meeting the county's recreation needs is to secure the <br />active participation of all recreation providers in the county. <br />POLICY 1.1: The county hereby adopts a recreation level -of -service standard of 4 6.61 recreation <br />acres per 1,000 permanent population plus weighted seasonal population. <br />POLICY 1.2: For level -of service purposes, the county shall measure parkland acres per 1000 <br />population by summing the total county owned park acreage pe and dividing by the current <br />estimate of unincorporated county €anotienal permanent population plus weighted seasonal <br />population, excluding municipalities! <br />'Current unincorporated population estimate from the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, <br />University of Florida. <br />Pages 50-51 of the Recreation and Open Space Element <br />Supplement # Ordinance # 2005 <br />Adopted 2005 Exhibit A <br />
