Florence authorizes CMPDD contract to update comprehensive plan; city share capped at $12,000
Summary
The board approved a $40,000 contract with the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District to craft a new city comprehensive plan; CMPDD grant funds will cover $28,000 and the city's maximum share was listed as $12,000.
The Florence Mayor and Board on Aug. 19 authorized a contract with the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District (CMPDD) to develop a new comprehensive plan for the city at a total cost of $40,000.
According to the motion, CMPDD grant funds will cover $28,000, leaving the city's cost not to exceed $12,000. Alderman Brian Grantham moved and Alderman Mason Herrin seconded the motion; it passed unanimously. The minutes reflect that the item was presented as a contract authorization rather than a discussion-heavy presentation.
The board's action instructs city staff to proceed with the CMPDD scope and funding arrangement; no additional stipulations or funding sources were recorded in the minutes. The comprehensive plan work is expected to be a multi-step process involving public input and deliverables from CMPDD under the authorized agreement.
