The Department of Management Services, Emergency Communications Board hereby gives notice: of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Glades County, filed on October 11, 2023. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Volume 49, No. 200, of the October 13, 2023, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of paragraph 60FF1-5.002(3)(b), F.A.C., entitled “Rural County Grants”, which states, that the fall deadline for submitting rural county grant applications is October 1. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed teleconference meeting held on October 18, 2023. The Board’s Order, filed on November 6, 2023, grants the Petition for variance or waiver, finding that Petitioner has complied with the requirements of subsection 120.542(2) of the Florida Statutes. Specifically, Petitioner has demonstrated how the purpose of the underlying statute, 365.173(2)(g), F.S., would be achieved. Additionally, Petitioner has demonstrated that failure of the Emergency Communications Board to grant Glade County’s petition would cause a substantial hardship for petitioner. Based upon the foregoing, the Board determined that Petitioner is eligible for a variance or waiver of paragraph 60FF1-5.002(3)(b), F.A.C.
