As outlined in the powers and duties of regional <br /> planning councils, Statute 186.505(19), regional planning councils will enter into contracts to <br /> provide, at cost, such services related to its responsibilities as may be requested by local <br /> governments within the region and which the council finds feasible to perform. <br /> 151 <br />
