Project Rationale.  Development of a new revenue source for the city in an effort to lower taxes for parks and recreation.

Project Rationale. The City of Jacksonville (‘the City’, or CoJ) is a thriving and growing municipality in northeast Florida with a current population of almost 1 million residents. In 1968, the Jacksonville, consolidated with Duval County, with the exception of the Cities of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and Baldwin, in an effort to increase tax revenue and to improve delivery of infrastructure services both within and outside of the city limits such as sewer, electric, and other services. To this day, delivering on the ‘Promises Made’ during the Consolidation has been a challenge for many reasons but is still a promise that Jacksonville seeks to fulfill. As part of fulfilling these promises, the City seeks to find ways to prioritize and complete septic to sewer conversion projects to improve public services and environmental conditions for all residents. In addition to the City of Jacksonville, Duval County is also home to the cities of Baldwin, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach. While Jacksonville encompasses close to 98% of the whole of Duval County, these four cities are closely linked to Jacksonville for their operations, economy and culture. Because of this, Jacksonville has asked to include them in this project. In an effort to assist Jacksonville and the other municipalities in Duval County with this initiative, the University of Florida’s Center for Coastal Solutions (UF CCS or CCS) (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇) has prepared the following Statement of Work for consideration by the Jacksonville Environmental Protection Board (the Board) to provide the Board and regional stakeholders with a multi-criteria vulnerability assessment of all single family residential septic systems and a prioritization of single family residential septic to sewer conversion projects. These two tasks will empower Jacksonville, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach to identify in a data-driven and geographically standardized way the level of risk septic systems may be facing in their jurisdictions, and to create septic-to-sewer conversion project groupings that are financially and spatially efficient and are most likely to reduce septic system risk failure. According to the Florida Department of Health (DOH), Florida Water Management Inventory Data (FLWMI), there are 75,394 ‘Known Septic’ or ‘Likely Septic’ systems within Duval County at this time. Intersecting Duval County are waterbody impairments in the following categories: 2 ...

Project Rationale. Humanity’s existence depends on plants and animals. The food chain needs to be intact for a healthy biosphere. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ cannot escape from the implications of climate change and sea level rises, so we need a plan to ensure our local future. On 19th April 2023 Bexhill Town Council unanimously approved Year 1 of the Bexhill Domesday Project without a formal commitment to Years 2 and 3. However, the whole point of Year 1 is to obtain the information and guidance for Years 2 and

Project Rationale. Obtaining and retaining a drivers licence has been identified as a significant barrier to gaining employment. Obtaining the requisite on-site experience for a HR licence is also a particular barrier to securing employment in the resources sector. This project will focus on three identified areas and groups of people: 1. Individuals who don’t have/have never held a drivers licence; 2. Individuals who have been disqualified/don’t have a current licence as a result of traffic infringements/fines; and 3. Individuals with appropriate licences but who lack suitable on-site operations experience. Reporting and Monitoring Arrangements: Identify existing capacity in the Ashburton/Roebourne area to provide driver training to Indigenous people.

Project Rationale. Orofacial pain interferes with routine daily functions such as speaking, eating, chewing, and smiling (▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2008). When pain becomes chronic, the role of sensory input is reduced, and the cognitive affective pathway becomes prominent towards pain perception (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2005). A holistic management of COFP recommends a biopsychosocial approach that includes social, psychological and spiritual aspects (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2014). Psychosocial factors are inherent in chronic pain, and to achieve optimal treatment, its assessment needs to be considered (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2013). Pain conditions are defined and classified according to their aetiology and distinct features (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008). It has been identified that psychosocial factors impact on pain perception in individuals complaining of persistent pain. It is also related to their physical and psychological functioning (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008). Psychological treatments are becoming popular and effective chronic pain management strategies (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2011). Understanding the psychological aspects of various chronic orofacial pain conditions may improve the assessment process and the development of comprehensive management strategies. In the past, a major focus was on investigating individual painful conditions and their psychosocial impacts. However, comparing different types of pains in the orofacial pain region was largely unexplored. This project explored psychological assessments of orofacial pain. Initially using, the paper version of multiple psychological questionnaires and later, this was substituted by an electronic tablet version through IMPARTS (Integrating Mental and Physical healthcare: Research, Training and Services). Evidence suggests that the integration of various questionnaires can provide an opportunity for an improved set of questions, reduce repetition and save time (▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016). The National Pain Audit report 2010-2012, showed that for the management of chronic pain, specialised services are not equally available in all parts of the country, and it is important that NHS providers should attempt to establish multidisciplinary services countrywide considering the extent of disability it causes (Price et al., 2012). For OFP, there is no standardized care pathway and insufficient research on outcome measures (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). Modern pain education is late coming to dentistry (Sessle, 2009). Dentists remain unfamiliar with chronic pain and, as a result, ma...

Project Rationale. The territorial and administration reform to date represents changes in the structural dimension of the local public administration. The advent of the territorial and administrative reform and the subsequent policy developments in several relevant sectors mean that support for local governance is at present not “business as usual.” The reforms set in 2014 and 2015 create the momentum and rationale for continued support to local governance through the coordinated mechanisms of STAR. The new municipalities need to reorganize themselves internally to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness in the administration of the territory. A recognized key ingredient for empowerment is the amount and sustainability of local finances. Local finances are still at a low level. Despite the genuine and legitimate local governments’ need for increased financial resources, such an increase by itself would not necessarily turn them into more effective, citizen-oriented service providers. The new administrations will also need to develop the vision, skills, consistency, sustainability and commitment to serve its citizenry in new, transparent and accountable ways. Local authorities are also the best placed to develop local policies that reflect specific socio-economic situations, address the persistence of inequality and promote models of responsive governance for the diverse expectations and needs of the citizens. In that view, Albania’s legal and policy frameworks on gender equality have significant implications for local government in relation to the practical implementation of respective laws and policies in its daily work. Decentralization (as a part of good governance) should respect principles of gender equality and involve not only the vertical transfer of power, responsibility and resources but also ensure a more inclusive horizontal process that ensures that power, responsibility and resources are equally shared by both women and men and that differentiated gender needs are taken into account. On the part of local governments, this requires the embracing of the concept of gender inclusion and sensitivity and the building of capacities and skills required for taking action. Going forward, the new 61 municipalities have in common many opportunities and challenges. In terms of opportunities, the following are, among others, important to build upon:  There is a strong political commitment to deepen decentralization reform and empower local governments.  This commitmen...

Project Rationale. There is a need to improve the coordination of employment and training services in the region and ensure effective collaboration between stakeholders to enable employment and training opportunities to be fully realised. Objective Agency Targets When Project Description: Provision of new housing, repairs and maintenance of existing housing and introduction of new housing options including public housing and opportunities for home ownership including delivery of integrated financial management services and assistance. This project will also deliver an increased investment in community development initiatives, through grants for development of a cultural centre and establishment of a local construction company. Project Rationale: The region has been identified by both governments as a priority area for new housing and essential infrastructure to relieve overcrowding and improve living conditions. Objective Agency Targets When Project Description: Increased investment in community health and safety, including enhancing primary health care, development of region-specific health initiatives, increased police presence and introduction of new measures to reduce substance abuse. Project Rationale: It has been identified that current infrastructure is not adequate to meet health service delivery needs and that an increased focus on addressing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disease (MJD) and dental caries is required. In addition, improving community safety and reducing the use of cannabis have been identified as key priorities by the communities.
