The Department of Economic Opportunity hereby gives notice:

NAME OF PETITIONER: City of Marianna

DATE PETITION WAS FILED: April 27, 2012. It was assigned the number DEO-11-041.

RULE NUMBER AND NATURE OF RULE FROM WHICH VARIANCE OR WAIVER IS SOUGHT: Paragraph 9B-43.0041(1)(c), F.A.C. (now paragraph 73C-23.004(1)(c), F.A.C.). Requesting a waiver of the $700,000 cap on CDBG grants which has been removed by statutory amendment. The rule has not been amended to reflect the change.

A REFERENCE TO THE PLACE AND DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE OF THE PETITION: Vol. 38, No. 19, May 11, 2012, issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

THE DATE OF THE ORDER DENYING OR APPROVING THE VARIANCE OR WAIVER: June 5, 2012.

THE GENERAL BASIS FOR THE AGENCY DECISION: Because the statutory basis for the cap was repealed, there was no authority to enforce the rule. Waiving the limit to allow greater grant amounts encourages economic development and the underlying purpose of the statute.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Miriam Snipes, Agency Clerk, Department of Economic Opportunity, 107 East Madison Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-4128, e-mail: [e-mail].
