I. INTRODUCTION
The Intergovernmental Coordination Element as required under the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act reflects the importance and need to
coordinate activities of the comprehensive planning process. The Act requires
each local government to address the problems and potentials of coordination,
and mandates that an Intergovernmental Coordination Element be prepared and
adopted as an integral part of the local comprehensive plan, Section
163.3177(6)(h), F.S. Specifically, this Element is intended to accomplish
the following basic objectives:
1) Establish the principles and guidelines which the local
government will utilize to coordinate planning activities.
2) Demonstrate the coordination of land development policies with
other governmental agencies which would be affected by or could
affect such policies.
3) Provide coordination with planning activities of other governmental
jurisdiction, i.e., adjacent municipalities, adjacent counties,
regional planning agency, state agencies.
4) Demonstrate the consideration which the local government gave
concerning the effects of the local plan on the development of
adjacent governmental jurisdictions.

II. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
Intergovernmental coordination emphasizes communication among governmental
agencies and interested parties which would be affected by or could affect the
planning activities required by the Act. During the formulation of the plan
the local government must communicate its goals, objectives, and policies so
as to resolve the potential areas of disagreement or conflict: that might exist.
In the course of the plan implementation, coordination between adjacent
governments and agencies can result in economies of scale and can minimize
negative externalities when delivering public goods and services. In order
to communicate effectively, information concerning the local planning process
must be distributed to various governmental agencies and interested parties
on a regular basis.
Since the beginning of the planning process in 1975, Monroe County has exchanged
information and ideas with a host of public agencies and citizen groups in an
effort to communicate its planning goals, objectives and policies. The County
must carry on this practice of communication from plan preparation to implemen-
tation with agencies considered to be playing a vital role in intergovernmental
coordination such as listed below:
City of Key West
City of Key Colony Beach
City of Layton
Monroe County School Board
Monroe County Housing Authority
Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority
City Electric System
Florida Keys Electric Coop.
Monroe County Mosquito Control District
Dade County
South Florida Regional Planning Council
South Florida Water Management District
Division of State Planning
-2-
The designated Local Planning Agency for Monroe County is the Planning and
Zoning Department which carries the primary responsibility of coordinating
its planning activities with the above agencies. Internally, the LPA coordinates
its planning with several county departments and offices, the most prominent
of which from the planning standpoint are: the Municipal Service District,
Public Works Department, and the legal staff. From time to time, when
appropriate, the LPA also communicates with the Florida Departments of
Transportation, Natural Resources, Environmental Regulation, and Community
Affairs.
FIGURES 1, 2, and 3, illustrate the typical evolution process of a plan element
from the inception of the planning process thru the plan implementation showing
how the LPA, citizen advisory committees, various public agencies and local
ft governmental units, general public, and the County Commission get involved in
the process of planning. It is through this process that all elements of the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan have evolved. FIGURE 4 presents a matrix
which describes the degree of coordination necessary with seventeen different
governmental units and agencies in planning related to various functional
elements. In certain areas of planning, coordination also extends to some
specialized agencies such as the Florida Division of Archives, History, and
Records Management for conservation of historical and archaeological resources,
or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for planning related
to low and moderate income housing.

III. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE LOCAL PLAN AND THE PLANS OF OTHER UNITS OF
GOVERNMENT.
In developing the various elements of the County Comprehensive Plan, compatibility
with the plans of other jurisdictions in and around Monroe County was given a
high consideration. At the outset of the planning process, an effort was
made to establish relationships between the County plans and the plans of other
jurisdictions in regard to various functional elements. Potential areas of
conflict were then identified and resolved through interaction and continuous
coordination. Primary emphasis was given to the following plan proposals.
1. The existing plans of the Cities of Key West, Key Colony Beach,
and Layton in regard to land use, recreation, housing, public
services and facilities, and economic development were carefully
deliberated in developing all plan elements. In addition to policy
coordination, efforts were made to reduce costs through joint
planning and/or service agreements,.economics of scale, benefits,
and coordination of public services and facilities.
2. Plans and other information generated by the Monroe County School
Board, Monroe County Housing Authority, Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority, and the utility .companies were used whenever applicable
in developing various functional elements.
3. Regional Environmental data, Coastal Zone Management analysis
and policy recommendations, and regional housing and land use
elements developed by the South Florida Regional Planning Council:
Information and data generated by the SFRPC have been of great
value in the preparation of the local plans. The close and on -going
coordination between the County and the SFRPC has assured compatibility
of the local plans with the regional goals, objectives, and policies.
WE
4. Water Use and Supply Development Plan of the South Florida Water
Management District, has been analyzed for its impact on local
development plans.
5. Policies and principles of the State Comprehensive Plan were reviewed,
analyzed, and used whenever applicable. The local plans thus
prepared have proven to be compatible with the State goals and
objectives.
6. The proposed Florida Coastal Management Program was thoroughly
reviewed to determine its applicability to the local plans in
general and the Coastal Zone Protection Element in particular.
The County has also participated in regional coastal zone management
seminars and workshops on a continuing basis. The local plans and
policies developed subsequently reflect the State and Regional
coastal zone management concerns and are fully compatible with
their policies and principles.
7. The short and long range plans of the Florida Department of
Transportation relating to both primary and secondary road
improvements in Monroe County were given a primary consideration
in developing the local traffic circulation element. Traffic counts
and highway accident data were also supplied by the DOT. The
representatives of the Department were frequently contacted and
discussions were held so as to coordinate the local plans with the
DOT.
IM
IV. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Goal
Coordinate formulation and implementation of County plans and planning
activities with all appropriate governmental entities so as to derive economies
of scale and minimize negative externalities when delivering public goods and
services.
Objectives
1. Insure compatibility of local plans with the plans of other jurisdictions
by maintaining close coordination during the planning process.
2. Idenfify and outline implementation means to insure that recommended
proposals are effective, cost-efficient, and consistent with the objectives
of the affected units of government.
3. Employ the various means of citizen participation to enhance inter-
governmental coordination.
4. Integrate planning and administrative functions in the County government
in a mainer that will facilitate coordination in formulating, implementing
and effectively enforcing the various programs, projects, and ordinances
used in attaining the desired community goals and objectives.
atom
V. POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
1. Monroe County will cooperate and coordinate its planning activities with
all appropriate governmental entities and public agencies to insure that all
its future plans are compatible and consistent with the plans of affected
governmental units and agencies.
1.1 Exchange information during all phases of the planning process with
the bodies of local governments and other appropriate public agencies
as listed earlier in this element.
1.2 Forward draft copies of any document related to the local
Comprehensive Plan to various units of local government and
agencies as appropriate and solicit their review and comments.
1.3 Maintain close coordination with special purpose agencies,
authorities, and boards in the preparation or revision of
certain functional elements such as housing, public services,
utilities, etc., and seek their cooperation and assistance in
technical matters and specialized areas.
2. Monroe County will explore the various means of implementing its adopted
plans to insure that the selected techniques and programs are efficient,
cost-effective, and consistent with the plans of the affected
jurisdictions and agencies.
2.1 Create a Council of Local Public Officials (Section 163.02,
Florida Statutes) with elected representatives from the County,
incorporated local jurisdictions, the School Board, the Housing
Authority, the Aqueduct Authority, the Mosquito Control District,
and the utility boards to address problems of mutual concern
and insure coordination in implementing the adopted plans.
2.2 Encourage intergovernmental agreements to provide for joint
-11-
utilization of facilities between the County and the other local
governmental entities whenever feasible.
3. Monroe County will strive to utilize capital improvement budget and
program as a means of plan implementation and a mechanism for accomplish-
ing intergovernmental coordination whenever possible.
3.1 Establish a link between the capital improvement and budget program
and the County Comprehensive Plan. To this end, it will be
necessary for the County Administrator and the Local Planning
Agency personnel to meet in conference with each department head
or his representatives prior to any proposal selection. The
purpose of the conference will be to:
(a) review the policies of the adopted pl ais,
(b) establish the principles and guidelines of the capital
improvement budget and program;
(c) review the requirements of the intergovernmental coordination;
and
(d) discuss coordination of upcoming projects with adjacent
governments and public agencies in Monroe County.
3.2 Establish a relationship of mutual cooperation between the County
and other local governmental entities in Monroe County by requesting
them to provide the County an opportunity to review and comment on
their capital improvement projects and programs as they pertain to
the County Comprehensive Plan, and by offering them an opportunity
to review and comment on the County capital improvement projects
which might affect their jurisdictions or plans.
4. Monroe County will encourage a high degree of citizen involvement as -a
means to improve intergovernmental coordination in the planning process.
-12-
it.l Disseminate planning information to the public.
4.2 Schedule adequate number of public hearings and meetings to
provide the public ample opportunity to comment on any plan
proposal.
4.3 Keep Planning Advisory Committee informed on all planning matters
and seek their review and comments.
4.4 Encourage the public to attend the meetings of the Local Planning
Agency and the Planning Advisory Committee by advertising such
meetings in local newspapers.
5. Monroe County will work toward integrating planning and administrative
functions in the County government in such a manner that will improve
the quality of both intergovernmental and intragovernmental coordination.
5.1 Establish a local clearinghouse review procedure to facilitate
effective review administration and to avoid conflicts in policy.
The proposed Council of Local Public Officials will form the most
logical agency to assume this countywida responsibility.
5.2 Encourage direct coordination among the various County departments
in matters which affect more than one department. When this is
not possible or workable, use, the County Administrator's Office
as a liaison.
5.3 Assign theprimary responsibility for intragovernmental coordination
(i.e., coordination within the County Government) to the Office of
the County Administrator. As for intergovernmental coordination,
both the Local Planning Agency and the County Administrator's Office
will jointly assume the major responsibility. These two County Offices
should clearly delineate areas of their responsibilities in regard
to intergovernmental coordination and establish procedures and guide-
lines to be followed by all County departments and offices
-13-
in a manner that would result in improved coordination.
6. Monroe County will coordinate its planning activities during all phases
with the appropriate Regional, State, and Federal Agencies and seek their
cooperation and assistance in resolving problems of mutual interest.
