Within each agreement, the Council of Governments (COG) is designated as the oversight body reviewing  the coordination functions outlined.  After several years in practice, there was consensus among the Council of Governments and each jurisdiction to develop a more comprehensive approach to the annual oversight function by removing the COG annual meeting and in its place develop an annual report to be prepared by School District staff.  The annual report will be presented to the School Board and disseminated to each local government and the COG members. This annual report will be more informative and meaningful to the planning process providing information about growth and trends in student population, the community and related residential development, and highlight coordination efforts throughout the year.

The revisions to the Interlocal Agreements achieve the results agreed upon by staff, have been approved by the Council of Governments, Planning Commission, Plant City Commission, Temple Terrace City Council the Tampa City Council and the Board of County Commissioners (awaiting signed copy).  Prior to approving the revisions to the agreements, each local government had amended its Comprehensive Plan to recognize the change in oversight.  The revisions to the agreements do not change the type, method or level of review among the parties, only the annual oversight function.  The COG will continue to be convened should additional changes to the agreements be proposed in the future.
