 4  Development the sum of $800,000 to implement the programs

 5  described in section 288.980, Florida Statutes. The funding

 8  water supply, power grids, communication nets, etc.) around

11  the Legislature that a portion of this appropriation be

12  expended to employ a consultant to evaluate the infrastructure

13  needs of Florida military bases in order to provide a baseline

14  and order of priority for the disbursement of funds. This

15  appropriation is in addition to any funds currently available

16  for grants to help local communities.
