SUBJECT:

Requests for Funding Projects Under the Florida Community

College System Facility Enhancement Challenge Grant Program

for 2003-2004

The Community College System Facility Enhancement Challenge Grant Program,

under Section 240.383, Florida Statutes, continues to be a 50/50 capital facilities

matching grant program between the state and private funds, including local

governments but not funds from either state or federal sources. Projects must be

plant survey recommended and included in the 5-year Capital Improvement

Program. Projects must be approved by the Florida Board of Education to be

included in the 2003-04 Legislative Budget Request.

The Direct Support Organizations (DSO’s) that serve the community colleges may

solicit funds from private or local government sources for the development of high

priority instructional and community related capital facilities. The DSO’s must set

up a separate capital facilities matching account for the purpose of providing

matching funds for the projects. Appropriated matching funds will be transferred

to the community colleges after matching funds (cash) are certified as available by

the DSO’s and the colleges.

At this time, the colleges must submit a request for projects for which they plan to

seek state matching funds. Requests for these 2003-04 projects should be limited

to those projects for which it can be reasonably expected that the total required

matching funds will be in the DSO’s account by February 1, 2003. The Division

of Community Colleges, with the approval of the Florida Board of Education, will

initially request the Legislature to consider all eligible 2003-04 projects for a

matching appropriation from state funds. This request will be amended based on a
