Girl Scout cookies have been around more than 90 years. It's been quite a wild — and delicious — ride!
The Earliest Girl Scout Cookies Were Homemade
Girl Scout Cookies started out in the kitchens of the girl scout members with mothers volunteering as technical advisers. The sale of cookies as a way to raise money for troop activities began as early as 1917, on the brink of the first World War and just five years after Juliette Gordon Low created the Girl Scouts.
Sensing a good thing, in 1922 the official Girl Scouts magazine, American Girl, included a cookie recipe that was given to the council's 2,000 Girl Scouts. It put the cost of ingredients for six- to seven-dozen cookies at 26 to 36 cents. The cookies could then be sold by troops for 25 or 30 cents per dozen to raise money.
Through the 1920s and 1930s, Girl Scout cookies continued to be made in the homes. These cookies were packaged in wax paper bags, sealed with a sticker, and sold door to door for 25 to 35 cents per dozen.
From the Girl Scout's Website here is one of those early recipes:
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- Cream butter and the cup of sugar
- Add well-beaten eggs, then milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Roll dough, cut into trefoil shapes.
- Sprinkle sugar on top, if desired.
- Bake in a quick oven (375°) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
Makes six- to seven-dozen cookies.
Out of the Kitchens
In 1933 Philadelphia Girl Scouts baked cookies and sold them in the city's gas and electric company windows. This proved so successful that in 1934 Greater Philadelphia became the first council to sell commercially baked cookies.
In 1935 the Girl Scout Federation of Greater New York followed suit. Buying its own die in the shape of a trefoil, the group used the words Girl Scout Cookies on the box.
In 1936 the national Girl Scout organization began to license the first commercial bakers to produce cookies that would be sold by girls in Girl Scout councils. The love of Girl Scout Cookies soon spread nationwide.
During World War II, when sugar, flour and butter were in short supply, Girl Scouts sold calendars to raise money for their activities.
After the War the scouts went back to the beloved cookies and by 1948 a total of 29 bakers throughout the nation were baking Girl Scout Cookies. At this time they came in just three varieties: Sandwich, Shortbread and the every popular Chocolate Mints (now known as Thin Mints). The 1950's and 60's brought the suburb and shopping malls giving the girls a new venue to sell their cookies.
Baby boomers swelled the Girl Scout membership in the 1960's as well as cookie sales. In 1960, bakers first began wrapping Girl Scout Cookie boxes in printed aluminum foil or cellophane to protect the cookies and preserve their freshness and in 1966 Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies were added.
Girl Scout Cookies are Still Delicious Today
In the fall of 2000 new box designs were introduced which show girls having fun and growing strong. A maximum of eight varieties are made by each baker including three mandatory ones (Thin Mint, Peanut Butter Sandwich, and Shortbread).
When you see the girls outside a grocery, at the mall or at you door, buy a box or three. It supports a good cause and carries on a proud — and delicious — tradition.
From Wikipedia — The best selling Girl Scout cookies are:
- Thin Mints (25% of total sales)
- Caramel DeLites or Samoas (19%)
- Peanut Butter Patties or Tagalongs (13%)
- Peanut Butter Sandwiches or Do-si-dos (11%)
- Shortbread or Trefoils (9%)
Mark Hester's favorite Girl Scout Cookie is Samoas. He runs the St. Augustine Animal Removal Company where you can find his office staff selling make-at-home recipes for Samoas and Thin Mints for those months after you run out out the real deal. Buy the cookies when they are available and help out the girls but then, when you need a fix and the last Thin Mint is gone, visit http://bestcopycatrestaurantrecipes.blogspot.com/2008/03/cookies-cookies-and-more-cookies.html
Well, of course, Girl Scout Cookies are not the only Secret Restaurant recipes we feature. There are also make-at-home recipes from all your favorite restaurants including Applebees, KFC, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill. So you may not want to wait.

Hi! We are an English-Swiss couple living a succulent, loving, busy, crazy, bubbly, sometimes challenging life in Switzerland in a home full of kids (at the moment 4), dogs (2) and a huge passion for Florida! While Mike is working for an American company, Tanja is a passionate mum and building up her photography business - after having quit her job as a psychologist.
Tanja Pluess Utting purchased this house in 2014
We fell in love with Florida many years ago and it still makes us come back year after year. We even got married on the beach in Clearwater and bought our first home in Carlouel on our wedding day. When we walked by 'Sea Breeze' for the first time we immediately wanted that house. But by then it was not for sale and later when it was, we could not afford it. But probably somehow it was meant to be - the house chose us and we chose the house and this is where we are now. We just started with the renovations and it will take a few months before 'Sea Breeze' will sparkle again - but it will!
My family had a wonderful stay at Tanja's Sea Breeze property! We had just stayed at another property in Orlando on the same trip, before coming to Clearwater and everything was miles above Orlando. The house was stocked with every imaginable amenity. Things you don't even think of when you're at the grocery store were already in the house. The collection of DVDs was perfect in the evening for the kids or to get out of the afternoon heat for a bit. The pool was lovely and there were so many pool toys available. All in all, it made you feel like you were staying at your best friend's family house while they were away and anything you could want was already thought of and existed for her family. Great location and easy walk around the corner to private access beach. The sand is gorgeous and soft. The sunsets are stunning. The restaurants nearby are also a bit more varied than your expected American chains. And it was near enough drive to Tampa for a baseball game one afternoon. Keyless entry was very convenient and smart as well. We loved our visit and would definitely come again!
Sea Breeze was the ideal vacation home for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. The kids loved its pool, and its location close to the beach was ideal. The home is outfitted with everything you could possibly ask for in a rental home, from the BBQ, to movies, to novels and current magazines, to 3 different areas for sitting outside. The owner of this property has thought of everything. The home was also big enough that there was plenty of separate space for everyone. We would definitely recommend Sea Breeze to anyone looking for a vacation rental home in the Clearwater Beach area.
We had a wonderful time on our vacation. We enjoyed the pool and the beach was very close. The home had everything we needed except the oven wasn't working. The owners were very apologetic about that and were very helpful with all our questions. We had a great time and made many memories.
We enjoyed Sea Breeze with our daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren ages 2 and 4. The pool was perfect for them, the bedroom set up was just right and gave all of us some private time. The kitchen is well appointed. The private beach area is wonderful and far from the busy Clearwater Beach area.
We had such a great time staying at your beautiful home on North Clearwater Beach. The house is a great size for a large family! The beds are really comfortable too! The beach is such a close walk and the sunsets are amazing! We appreciate your timely communication and will definitely be back. Thank you!!
We stayed at Sea Breeze the week before Christmas and had the most wonderful stay. The house was set up beautifully and includes everything you could possibly need. It has convenient access to the private beach and close to restaurants and shops. When we were not walking and playing at the beach we were chilling in the hot tub. It was our kids first time at the beach and definitely will not be the last. This was a much needed vacation for our family and may not be our only stay at Sea Breeze. You will not be disappointed with renting this beautiful beach home.
This was my first time dealing with an online vacation property and I'm happy to say that it went very smoothly, The house was great for my large family and the Clearwater area was extremely beautiful and enjoyable. The owner was cordial and prompt in her communication with me which was great. Except for a couple of insects (which is to be expected in a tropical climate) I was very happy with my choice of vacation home!
Located in the tranquil Clearwater Beach neighborhood of Carlouel, 'SEA BREEZE' is a minute stroll away from the private neighborhood beach access. Enjoy a walk or jog on one of America's finest white-sand beaches, or spend your day shelling, sunbathing, and swimming in the pristine blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico! The house has a heated pool with a spill-over spa, a fabulous outdoor grilling area, secluded patios and a tropical garden.
Pier 60 and the public portion of Clearwater Beach with its vibrant beach life are just 5 minutes away. Discover an amazing food variety in the many outstanding restaurants within the Clearwater Beach area! Book a fishing charter out of the Clearwater Marina, rent jet skis, play mini golf and tennis, go on a bike ride, or enjoy a relaxing massage or spa day.

The Dragon Boat Festival (Chinese Duanwu Festival) is a lunar holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and known locally by its Cantonese name Tuen Ng. This festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China and the one with the longest history. The name for the festival in China was originally the Upright Sun Festival but this was changed by foreigners to the Dragon Boat Festival, notably for the dragon boat races, held particularly in the southern provinces, Hong Kong and Macau where there are many rivers and lakes. This festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a popular poet and minister who is said to have committed suicide at the age of 35 by drowning himself in a river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Qu Yuan was an honest and loyal minister who was held in high esteem in the kingdom of Chu (situated in the present day Hunan and Hubei provinces). When a corrupt prince vilified Qu Yuan, he was disgraced and dismissed from his office. Realising the kingdom was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu Yuan jumped into a river. Nearby fishermen tried to save him and were unable to recover the body. Mourning the death of the poet, the people threw cooked rice so the fish would eat the rice rather than their hero. The spirit of Qu Yuan appeared in the river and said that a huge reptile in the river had stolen the rice offering and suggested that they wrap the rice in silk and bind it with threads before throwing it in the river. This later turned into the custom of eating "Zong Zi" (boiled glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves) and rice dumplings to symbolize offerings to Qu Yuan. The dragon boat races represent the attempts to rescue and recover the body of Qu Yuan.
The Dragon Boat Festival at Tai O on Lantau Island is also home to a waterway praying ceremony known as the "Gods Parade" which dates back over one hundred years. In June 2011 the festival became on of four cultural events in Hong Kong to be included on China's national list of intangible culture heritage. It is said that Tai O was hit by a plague more than 100 years ago and, in an effort to drive out the epidemic, local fishermen paraded along the local waterways on dragon boats, towing behind them deity statues that they had borrowed from temples in the area. The plague ended, but the custom, known as the dragon boat water parade, has been maintained to this day.
During the annual Dragon Boat Festival, three fishermen's associations, namely Pa Teng, Sin Yu Heung and Hap Sim Tong, organise a religious activity known as dragon boat water parade. On the morning before the festival, members of the associations row their dragon boats to visit four temples, Yeung Hau, Tin Hou, Kwan Tei and Hung Shing, and carry the deity statues back to their associations' hall for worship.
On the day of the festival, members of Pa Teng row the dragon boats to Po Chue Tam behind Yeung Hau Temple, where they pick fresh grass on the hillside to put inside the dragon's mouth in a ritual called "Picking the Greens". In the old days, a "Drinking Dragon" ceremony was also hosted by association elders to cast out evil spirits, during which a few drops of rooster blood were mixed with Chinese white wine and then sprinkled on the dragon's head, tail and body. However, this ceremony has not been performed since the Government introduced its ban on the keeping of live chickens.
The dragon boats then set out on the parade or "Gods' Parade". A small boat that carries the deity statues is towed by a dragon boat along the local waterways. Gold and silver paper offerings for departed souls are burned in the water along the way, while the residents of the stilt houses also burn joss sticks to pay tribute to the passing dragon boats. As entertainment for gods, the dragon boats engage in a race after the parade. In the afternoon, the associations host a send-off ritual in which the deities are transported back to the temples. Then everyone gathers at night for a feast to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in what is always a jubilant event.
The "Gods Parade", is the most important part of the Dragon Boat Festival at Tai O. A small boat carrying the deity statues is towed by each dragon boat along the local waterways. Gold and silver paper offerings for departed souls are burned along the way, while the residents of the stilt houses also burn joss sticks to pay tribute to the passing dragon boats.

Hong Kong's Dragon Boat Carnival, which features two major elements, the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races and San Miguel BeerFest will be held at its new, larger venue of Central Harbourfront. Between 2010 and 2015 the event was held at Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront after the organisers, Hong Kong Dragon Boat Association (HKDBA), along with Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) decided to raise the profile of the races and make the carnival a "mega event" and major tourist attraction. Between 2000 and 2009 the international races had been held on the Shing Mun River at Shatin. The three-day 2016 carnival will be the 40th anniversary of the international races.

The 2016 races will be contested by about 4,000 paddlers from 14 countries and regions.

Perhaps no one typified the culturally conscious youthman singer of the second half of the seventies as much as Rod Taylor. After the release of his first single in 1975 this somewhat underrated fine singer recorded extensively for producers such as Bertram Brown of Freedom Sounds, Mikey Dread, Prince Far I, Linval Thompson and Prince Hammer, producing such great tunes like "Run Run", "Night In September", "Ethiopian Kings", "Behold Him" and "His Imperial Majesty" (all included on the "Ethiopian Kings 1975-80" set from Patate Records). His most notable albums include "If Jah Should Come Now" for Prince Hammer and "Where Is Your Love Mankind" for Henry "Junjo" Lawes. And now, some twelve years after the release of the "Where Is Your Love Mankind" album, Rod Taylor has delivered another notable album titled "Shining Bright". For the recordings of this brand new set Rod Taylor - now resident in France where he continues to perform live regularly with the Artikal Crew - has linked up with producer Steve Mosco from London based roots reggae production label "Jah Warrior". No wrong move as this combination proves a winner. "Shining Bright" features twelve solid vocal tracks and two wicked dub versions. Rod Taylor fully lives up to expectations as he truly demonstrates no decline in his vocal skills. The singer's strong vocal delivery over Jah Warrior's typical upfront modern roots riddims is well worth hearing, and also lyrically he shows that he's still able to make a solid impression. Every track of this set has its own merits and immediately captures the listener's attention. Thus it's almost impossible to point out the standouts, so we just stick to our personal favourites which include "Weeping And Wailing", "Be With Jah", "The Mighty King", "Jah Warriors", Mr. Policeman" and "Black History", the latter performed across a reworked version of Wayne Jarrett's "Youthman" aka Glenroy Richards' "Wicked Can't Run Away" riddim. Next to the vocals from Rod Taylor this album features a live 3 piece horn section with the renowned Crispy Horns, live flute from Richard Doswell, guitar and melodica from Hughie Izachaar, percussion from Jonah Dan and all other instruments from Steve Mosco.
"Shining Bright" is a great and powerful listening experience, one of the best album releases on the "Jah Warrior" label so far. So, make sure to check it!!!

New NC State coach juggling Pistons, schoolwork

NC State will get an early impression of Sidney Lowe's time management skills over the next eight weeks. He is trying to manage a schedule unlike any other college coach. Currently, Lowe is plotting game plans to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals and could be faced with two more playoff rounds beyond this. He's also finishing three classes online to earn his business administration degree. He needs to learn the phone-book-sized NCAA rule book for an exam that he must pass to recruit this summer. He's holding daily conference calls with his new staff. He is re-recruiting current NC State players, is preparing a list of targets for summer recruiting and, if there is time, he might talk a little bit about moving from Detroit to Raleigh. Read More

I'm not familiar with the BOCA, but in the '97 UBC the limits are 0.025 or 0.02 (depending of period) times the story height (1630.10.2). Thereby, if your story height is in inches, your limit is in inches, if you use a story height in feet, you get feet as your limit: 0.02(74') = 1.48' 0.02(888") = 17.76" And of course, 17.76" = 1.48'. This is just a limit of 2%, units don't matter as long as you stay consistent. That is why there is no metric specific reference for that equation, as would be required if the 2% was a feet to inches specific equation. 1.48" would be awfully small for a 74' tall building. The 2% value refers to a drift level arrived at via research as a reasonable level for a building to sustain. Buildings that reach 3% or 4% tend to do poorly, but of course, these levels are vast generalizations. Paul Crocker "Ritter, Mike" wrote: > Colleagues, > > Please help me with a quick question.

You could forgive Arsÿne Wenger if he felt slightly aggrieved. While Arsenal and Manchester United have long been accepted as the dominant forces of English football over the last decade, the truth is that whatever the Gunners do, the Devils always seem to do better.
You could forgive Arsÿne Wenger if he felt slightly aggrieved. While Arsenal and Manchester United have long been accepted as the dominant forces of English football over the last decade, the truth is that whatever the Gunners do, the Devils always seem to do better.
The reminders are incessant. "You win the Double, we'll do the Treble. You progress in the Uefa Cup, we keep our Champions' League hopes alive." Even as Arsenal prepare to confirm - probably today - that they have finally tied one of their most prized assets, Kanu, down to an improved long-term contract, their rivals go and steal their glory by announcing they have secured the services of their captain, Roy Keane, for £50,000 a week. This is one case of North-South divide which Tony Blair need not worry about.
"We can't afford those kind of wages," said Wenger at the Londoners' training ground on Friday. "Even if we wanted to pay a player that, we couldn't because we'd go bankrupt."
Wenger may be quietly envious of Sir Alex Ferguson's extra financial clout, but he insists the Keane case is exceptional. "We have to keep our feet on the ground. He is a special story. Not only was he at the end of his contract [and therefore in a strong bargaining position], he had also been playing on a lower contract and needed to be given a rise."
As for his own contract rebel - Kanu - the Arsenal manager is "sure that he will sign this weekend". The Nigerian international, who joined the Gunners 18 months ago from Internazionale, had been stalling over a new deal in recent weeks because he feared his family would not be allowed to move to England. "He's bought a big house," Wenger explained, "so you can imagine he doesn't want to live alone. That would be disastrous."
Wenger is not sure why Kanu's family have so far been refused long-term visas (vice-chairman David Dein has been doing the negotiating) although he is now confident the problem has been resolved and that the player will put pen to paper. "He wants to stay at the club, so I'm not worried. I'm confident he'll sign," said Wenger.
If, as expected, the deal is completed before tomorrow's FA Cup third-round match against Blackpool, Kanu will join the "international classification" - alongside the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit and Tony Adams - and become one of the club's highest earners. He would then take home around half of Keane's weekly pay. Poor him.
But if Wenger has been prepared to review Kanu's contract, "because, when he signed, we promised that we would if he proved his worth", the Frenchman is not willing to break the Gunners' wage structure. "We're not a gambling club. If I have £5 in my pocket, I can only give you £5. If it's not enough, it's not enough. What else can we do?"
Wenger must feel the gods (or is it the FA?) are against him. While Arsenal now have to play two games in a week, United have 10 days off. That withdrawal is looking more and more like the move of the season. "It's not right," Wenger argued. "If winning the FA Cup guaranteed a Champions' League place, do you think they would have have withdrawn?"Reuse content

Doctor insights on:
Is A Lower Abdominal Pain A Sign Of Nicotine Withdrawal
Is a lower abdominal pain a sign of nicotine withdrawal?
Very possibly: Symptoms of narcotic withdrawal syndrome starts with anxiety and craving and then proceeds to restlessnes, runny eyes and nose followed by fevers, chills, diarrhea and vomiting.

Belly Pain (Definition)
Abdominal pain is pain that you feel anywhere between your chest and groin. This is often referred to as the stomach region or belly. Almost everyone experiences pain in the abdomen at one time or another. Most of the time, it is not caused by a serious medical problem. There are many organs in the abdomen. Pain in the abdomen can originate from any one of them, including: Organs related to digestion -- the end of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas The aorta -- a large blood vessel that runs straight down the inside of the abdomen The appendix -- an organ in the lower right abdomen that no longer serves much function The kidneys -- two bean-shaped organs that lie deep within the abdominal cavity The spleen -- an organ involved in blood maintenance and infection control However, the pain may start from somewhere else -- like your chest or pelvic area. You may also have a generalized infection, such as the flu or strep throat, that affects many parts of your body. The intensity of the pain does not always reflect the seriousness of the condition causing the pain. Severe abdominal pain can be from mild conditions, such as gas or the cramping of viral gastroenteritis. On the other hand, relatively mild pain or no pain may be present with life-threatening conditions, such as cancer of the ...Read more

Cyber Strategy and Policy: International Law Dimensions
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 2, 2017, Matthew C. Waxman addressed some of the international law questions...
Speaker: Karen Kornbluh, Senior Fellow for Digital Policy, Council on Foreign Relations
October 25, 2013
The revelations regarding the NSA's PRISM surveillance program have triggered a series of strong reactions from states, including U.S. allies. They have also sparked renewed debate over how to regulate the free flow of information through the global Internet. CFR Senior Fellow Karen Kornbluh highlights three things to know about the world reaction to the NSA surveillance leaks.
- Spy vs. Spy: Initial reactions, although strong, are muted, according to Kornbluh. This is because foreign intelligence services "engage in similar activities," she says. Moreover, when compared to the United States, foreign intelligence services possess less oversight, she says. President Obama's promise to review U.S.-intelligence-gathering mechanisms, she says, would work towards balancing security and privacy "in the new era of big data."
- Reviewing the Open Internet: The revelations have broken down the consensus on the free flow of information across borders, Kornbluh argues. As a result, organizations are passing "tough new data protection rules" and calling for all stakeholders in an environment -- including governments -- to operate on an equal footing, Kornbluh says.
- Safeguarding the Free Flow of Information: The industrial era's "free flow of goods" is parallel to the digital era's "free flow of information" -- but more is at stake, according to Kornbluh. She argues that a new consensus must be reached that considers "privacy, governance, and other concerns" while avoiding information flow restrictions.

India now matters to U.S. interests in virtually every dimension. This Independent Task Force report assesses the current situation in India and the U.S.-India relationship, and suggests a new model for partnership with a rising India.
Rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries are increasing faster than in wealthier countries. The report outlines a plan for collective action on this growing epidemic.
Marten outlines how U.S. policymakers can deter Russian aggression with robust support for NATO, while reassuring Russia of NATO's defensive intentions.
Segal offers recommendations for cooperation on issues such as encryption, data localization, and cybersecurity.
Knopf argues that the only remaining path for South Sudan is for an international transitional administration to run the country for a finite period.

Guest Columnist
There�s an elephant in the growth management policy room. It�s Amendment 4, artfully packaged as �Hometown Democracy.�
The proposed legislation would require that all local government Comprehensive Plans and plan amendments be approved by voter referendum before becoming effective. It�s on the statewide ballot in November, 2010. Every significant state legislative growth management proposal will undergo a �Hometown Impact Assessment� during the 2010 legislative session.
Although a constitutionally mandated referendum for all plan amendments is a flawed, much too broad approach to enhance meaningful public participation in land use decision making, there is growing sentiment that the public concern driving the direct democracy movement merits state legislative consideration.
The State Department of Community Affairs previously proposed a citizen�s planning �Bill of Rights� which, among other aims, would expand citizens� opportunities to participate in local land use decisions and restrict the frequency of plan amendments. DCA�s proposal was not accepted by the legislature. Some DCA concepts track Jacksonville�s �Neighborhood Bill of Rights� which established Citizen Planning Advisory Committees (CPACs) to provide community focal points for information and reaction on all new development proposals.
We can expect a version of DCA�s prior proposal to be promoted by certain interest groups and possibly considered next legislative session. Jacksonville�s CPAC experience will inform the discussion.
The legislature is currently reviewing DCA�s mission, organization and program management. This �Sunset review� is slated to be completed in 2010. There are periodic calls to terminate or merge DCA with other state agencies and such action may be considered next legislative session. Although it is unlikely DCA will be terminated or merged, legislative review may prompt proposals to amend or reorient DCA programs.
Integral to the state growth management program is DCA�s role in overseeing review of local plan amendments and Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs). The Northeast Florida Regional Council may request legislation to establish a state-funded pilot project that would delegate to the regional council responsibility in Northeast Florida to review and approve plan amendments and to review and appeal DRIs. The pilot project would last for five years and then be assessed for extension, modification ot termination.
The Florida Department of Transportation and DCA recently produced a report to the legislature analyzing mobility fees, a traffic mobility impact exaction that might replace the state�s traffic concurrency policy. The report offers three implementation options: require mobility fees statewide by a date certain, require fees in dense urban land area counties (which would include Duval) and authorize the fees in all other counties, and authorize mobility fee pilot projects.
In light of the state�s failed traffic concurrency policy which produced unexpected and unintended consequences, pilot projects are preferred by many interest groups. If pilot projects are authorized, Duval county would be a prime candidate for such a project.
Senate Bill 360, enacted in 2009, eliminated the state mandate for transportation concurrency in dense urban areas including Duval County. Questions have been raised about the legislature�s intent regarding this provision and legislation clarifying legislative intent is expected. This �glitch� legislation may address issues raised by a group of cities that have judicially challenged enactment of S.B. 360. It also may include a �safe harbor� provision to validate and preserve traffic concurrency and DRI exemptions provided in S.B. 360 if the act is invalidated.
A senate committee has produced a report on DCA�s population need criterion which DCA applies in reviewing local plan amendments. �Need� is a component of DCA�s Urban Sprawl Policy. The agency has initiated rule making that may clarify its policy. The policy is controversial and may be the subject of 2010 legislative action.
Water quality, quantity and availability is inseparably linked to managing growth. The state�s Water Resources Law has not been comprehensively reviewed by the legislature since it was enacted in 1972. The legislature is expected to initiate an extensive review of water policy and issues. All water issues are on the table including organization, authority and decision making processes of the regional water management districts, water quality and quantity policies, creating a state Water Resources Board to oversee the water resources program and the regional districts, additional protection for freshwater springs and watershed restoration.
Also on line for review is current policy allowing transfer of water between water management districts and the �local sources first� policy which requires local government to exhaust its own water resources before crossing county boundaries for additional water supply.
Any changes to these policies could significantly affect future requests from counties to withdraw additional surface water from the St. Johns River.
Expect 2010 to be another interesting year for Florida�s growth management policy. If the past is any prologue, the one constant with growth management policy is that it will change.
