In plain words
A request to adopt a Vision Zero resolutionA formal Board decision that is not a law: it states a position, approves an agreement, sets a fee or rate, or directs staff. Adopted by a vote, usually without a public hearing. Florida Statutes 125.01, approve the Lake County Safety Action Plan, submit a Safe Streets for All Implementation Grant application, and authorize the County Manager to sign related documents.
What changes The County formally adopts the Vision Zero resolution and Safety Action Plan, submits the grant application, and authorizes the County Manager to execute associated documents.
Who and the money Applies to Lake County; the record states the fiscal impact cannot be determined at this time.
Stated reason (staff, quoted): "Approval of the Plan positions Lake County to remain eligible and competitive for federal and state transportation safety funding opportunities, including SS4A, which requires local jurisdictions to formally adopt Safety Action Plans as a foundation for implementation funding."
Why (staff, quoted) "Traffic crashes resulting in fatalities and serious injuries remain a significant public safety concern across Florida and within Lake County."
