SECOND CONTINUING RESOLUTION
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a second continuing resolution that will fund federal agencies through November 7. This is expected to provide enough time for the Congress to complete work on 13 appropriations bills. So far, only three have been signed by President Bush. However, the Senate is moving forward, trying to pass as many bills as possible to get them ready for conference. It still appears there will be an omnibus appropriations package that may include at least six bills: Agriculture; Commerce/Justice/State; District of Columbia; Foreign Operations; Transportation/Treasury and VA/HUD and Independent Agencies.

FLORIDA LEGISLATURE SINE DIE
Upon passing HB 25-E, relating to Apportionment, the Senate Sine Die early Friday morning, October 24, 2003, bring Special Session E to a close. During the week, the Legislature dealt with issues ranging from the Scripps Research Institute to the Terri Schiavo case.
SELECT COMMITTEE ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
During Special Session E, House Speaker Johnnie Byrd announced the formation of the Select Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The Select Committee will be chaired by Rep. Pickens, who will report to Rep. Goodlette, Chair of the Policy Committee. The Select Committee will review the amendatory process, especially amendments proposed and passed by initiative, and identify and evaluate alternatives or modifications of the process. The committee will also consider the constitutional rationale for the allowance of and any limitations upon the inclusion of public policy other than governmental structure in the state constitution.
STOP HIGHWAY ROBBERY!
Floridians for Better Transportation and the TRU$T Coalition, of which FAPA is a member, have initiated a campaign to prevent future raids on the state transportation trust fund. The campaign uses a variety of media but primarily relies on individuals to send e-mails to the Governor’s office and legislators expressing opposition to any cost shifts. Interested FAPA members are urged to visit www.bettertransportation.org. Under “What’s New,” the October 14, 2003 entry provides links to simplify the process of e-mailing the Governor and Legislators with your views. Additionally, in the latest Florida Chamber of Commerce "Chamber Insider" e-newsletter, a short write-up of TRU$T’s Stop Highway Robbery effort appears. You may find it of interest. You can read the article at www.flchamber.com/home/chamberinsider/archive/031027_st.htm#five.
INTERIM COMMITTEE MEETING DATES SET
House and Senate interim committee meeting dates have been set. In 2003, both the House and Senate will be meeting November 17-21 and December 8-12.

LAND USE DECISION MAKING IN NEW ORLEANS
The Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR) recently released a report entitled
“Runaway Discretion: Land Use Decision Making in New Orleans.” The report is the first installment in BGR’s new Emerging Issues series. BGR found that land use decision making suffers from systemic weaknesses and an ad hoc approach. The result is widespread discontent, with the frustration of those focused on economic development matched by the frustration of residents who feel deprived of meaningful participation in the future of their neighborhoods. In addition to identifying systemic weaknesses in land use decision making, the report offers a series of recommendations. To download the report, go to www.bgr.org/Emerging%20Issues/Emerging%20Issues.pdf.
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN URBAN TRANSPORT
Wendell Cox, principal of “The Public Purpose and Demographia”, gave a presentation to the 8th International Conference on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport (“Thredbo 8”), in Rio de Janeiro last month. In his speech, “Performance Indicators in Urban Transport Planning” Mr. Cox offered a methodology for allocating public resources to the transit strategies that most effectively contribute to the achievement of long-term transport objectives. The speech may be read on-line at www.publicpurpose.com/t8-gbc.pdf.
CORPORATE TOOLS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Bruce Katz, Vice President, Brookings and Director, Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy, Economic Studies, made a presentation on October 17, 2003, to the Fannie Mae Annual Housing Conference. His presentation, “The New Art of Governing,” asked the question, “What if cities adopted some of the tools used by corporations to evaluate and execute long-term competitive strategies?” The presentation highlighted the importance for cities to understand how their demographics and economies have changed over the last decade, and emphasized the considerable differences with which general trends have played out in different places. The speech and associated PowerPoint presentation are posted to www.brookings.edu/es/urban/speeches/20031017_fanniemae.htm.
STOPPING SPRAWL
According to a new report by the David Suzuki Foundation (Canada), “Driven to Action: Stopping Sprawl in Your Community,” the ever-expanding sprawl of Canada’s cities must be one of the first issues addressed by all levels of government because it is seriously affecting the health of Canadians. The report includes a user-friendly toolkit designed to help communities stop sprawl. For a perspective on sprawl from the David Suzuki Foundation, which works to find ways for society to live in balance with the natural world, go to www.davidsuzuki.org/Climate_Change/Sprawl.asp.
INCLUSIONARY ZONING
A new PolicyLink report makes the case for increasing affordable housing through inclusionary zoning. According to PolicyLink, the growing need for housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income families is an issue facing nearly every part of the United States. This new PolicyLink report draws on inclusionary zoning successes from around the country and makes recommendations for expanding the availability of affordable housing in Washington, DC that apply to other cities as well. “Expanding Housing Opportunity in Washington, DC: The Case for Inclusionary Zoning” uses data compiled from hundred of localities where inclusionary zoning has made a critical difference in providing affordable housing to low- and moderate- income families. The report shows how inclusionary zoning helps increase the development of affordable rental and ownership units; expand opportunity, by creating mixed income communities; contribute to deconcentration of poverty, by spreading affordable housing across jurisdictions or regions, rather than isolating it in the poorest neighborhoods; and makes recommendations to jurisdictions for crafting a comprehensive and successful inclusionary zoning program. To read the Executive Summary or download the 51-page report, go to www.policylink.org/DCIZ.html.
THE COSTS AND FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
A new study by the U.S. Green Building Council is one of the most comprehensive studies ever done on the cost and financial benefits of green buildings. It demonstrates that the financial benefits of green buildings exceed the cost by a factor of 10 to 1. To view the report, go to www.usgbc.org/Docs/News/News477.pdf or link directly to the U.S. Green Building Council’s website at www.usgbc.org.
IMPROVING METROPOLITAN DECISION MAKING IN TRANSPORTATION
"Improving Metropolitan Decision Making in Transportation: Greater Funding and Devolution for Greater Accountability," is a new policy brief by Robert Puentes and Linda Bailey; with the Brookings Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy (October 2003). This policy brief summarizes the extent of funding and program authority metropolitan areas are currently afforded under TEA-21, by examining the evolution of metropolitan transportation decision making and the role of metropolitan areas under current law. In the end, it argues that federal transportation law needs to expand existing funding sources and decision making to allow metropolitan areas to fulfill the promises of previous reform efforts and to maintain a transportation system that works for 21st century metropolitan America. A summary of the policy brief and the full report may be found on the Brookings’ website at www.brookings.edu/es/urban/publications/200310_puentes.htm.
SPRAWL WITHOUT GROWTH
"Sprawl Without Growth: The Upstate Paradox," a new policy brief by Rolf Pendall, with the Brookings Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy (October 2003), finds that continued decentralization of people and jobs away from Upstate New York's cities and villages is undermining the economic health and quality of life of the region. It points out that state and local leaders need to understand that these trends are not inevitable and that explicit state reforms in fiscal policy, annexation laws, and planning can go a long way toward fostering a better future for Upstate New York. A summary and full report are posted to www.brookings.edu/es/urban/publications/200310_pendall.htm.

AN ARTICULATE CRITIQUE OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING WORLDWIDE
According to the October 2003 issue of the Planning Report, the planning and design profession’s focus on everyday political negotiation and budgetary constraints too often come at the expense of professionally considering both the social values that compel public spaces and how design ought to promote such values. As a refresher course, this issue of the Planning Report presents an excerpt from University of Cape Town Professor Dave Dewar’s presentation at the California AIA’s 16th Monterey Design Conference in September. To access the excerpt, go to www.ablinc.net/tpr/archive/october2003f.html.
NEW POLL SHOWS SUPPORT FOR INCREASED HIGHWAY & PUBLIC TRANSIT INVESTMENTS
According to a recent press release of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, a September nationwide survey by Republican and Democratic pollsters Ed Goeas and Celinda Lake found 69 percent of likely voters would willingly pay nine cents extra per day to help fund repairs to outdated roads and bridges and improve highway safety. The complete poll results may be accessed online at www.artba.org.
MARYLAND WEBSITE PROMOTES INFILL DEVELOPMENT
The State of Maryland launched a new website, Maryland Smart Sites, which provides information on publicly owned redevelopment opportunities across the state. Maryland Smart Sites aims to market these opportunities through the enhanced promotion of an array of existing state, local, and federal incentives. Check it out at www.mdsmartsites.org/.
LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION INIATIVE
Stewardship America, in partnership with CH2M Hill, Inc., is about to launch the “Landscape Conservation Initiative.” This initiative will build on the “Farmland Stewardship Program,” which will be implemented through Section 2003 of the Farm Bill. Although final rules have not been completed for Section 2003, CH2M Hill is moving forward to expand on the concepts underlying the program and turn it into a major "Landscape Conservation Initiative." For further information, go to privatelands.org.
PLANNING COMMISSIONERS JOURNAL
The most recent issue of the “Planning Commissioners Journal” provides an excellent introduction to preservation planning, aimed at “citizen planners" and other non-professionals interested in downtown revitalization & historic preservation. You may find it quite useful for planning board members and staff as a primer on planning for historic preservation. This issue will be ready for delivery at the end of this month.
